While I do not dispute anything in your account, there is much more to the
story.
In the late 1770s the Cherokees in eastern (now) TN, were whipped into
defiant action by a young chief Dragging Canoe. Dragging Canoe influenced a
number of other chiefs to oppose the migration of the white settlers. They
were known as the Chickamaugans, and they kept the settlers bottled up in
their homes and fortifications almost to the point of starvation. John
Sevier, who would become the first governor of TN in 1796, lead many
successful raids against the Chickamaugan Cherokees in punishment and to
move them further west and south. John D. Chisholm was an operative of both
Gov William Blount of the Southwest Territory and John Sevier. Chisholm's
association began in Washington District and the frustrated State of
Franklin from before 1784.
When Dragging Canoe died in 1792, he was replaced by John Watts, with
Doublehead as his deputy. Doublehead probably earned his reputation in the
footsteps of Dragging Canoe. (Re: Your, "Doublehead's warpath ended
abruptly in June 1794. He became a friend of the white man.") By 1794 the
warring factions became weary of fighting and pretty well quietened down
after the Treaty at Tellico Blockhouse in October 1794, and prior to TN
becomming a state in 1796. Doublehead was assinated on August 9, 1807
because many chiefs did not think his land dealings were ethical --- that he
was selling and leasing Indian lands for personal profit. Probably true.
Sometime after 1800 John D. Chisholm became an operative, personal
secretary, and friend of Doublehead. The Bureau of Indian Affairs letters
on file detail many of the business dealings of Doublehead, assisted by John
D. Chisholm, from TN to Muscle Shoals, AL until he died.
I have not been able to determine in my research how/why Chisholm was able
to move and work so smoothly from the side of Blount and Sevier in behalf of
the settlers to a trusted companion, and even the status of deputy, to
Doublehead. The answer most assuredly involved money. John D. Chisholm,
the grandfather of Jesse, was literate in English and spoke at least three
or four Indian languages.
All of this makes a very interesting history.
