Bushyhead and Scotchie
Does anyone here know of any sources for information on John Stuart of Inverness, or Alexander Cameron of Unknown, Scotland? Both were agents and liason between the Crown and Adgakala and Oconastota, Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation, and later with Adgakala's son, Tsiyugansini, leader of the Chichimaka faction of the Cherokee Nation during the Revolution. Adgakala adopted Stuart, who was named Bushyhead, and Scotchie Cameron was adopted by Adgakala's wife, Nanny Ollie of the Red Paint Clan (my many Greats Grandmother.)
Thumbnail sketches of Bushyhead and Scotchie can be found at

Check out the various volumes of the Journal of Cherokee Studies
The Papers of Sir William Johnson have some correspondence between him and Stuart.
Blackmon's Dark and Bloody Ground
The American Revolution in Indian Country by Calloway devotes a chapter to the Cherokee, as well as the Creek and had lots of info on Stuart.
