Notes for MOYTOY:
Moytoy Pigeon, of Tellico; Supreme Chief of the Cherokee 1730 -- 1760
*********************************
The Eastern Band of Cherokee, by John R Finger, Univ of TN Press, Knoxville:
[Early Cherokee society was atomized into clans with individual chiefs]... Sir Alexander Cuming boldly addressed this problem in 1730 by traveling to Cherokee country and proclaiming a single chief, Moytoy, as the first chief and King of his people.
*********************************
from Don Chesnut's web page; www.users.mis.net/~chesnut/pages/cherokee.htm
Moytoy: a Cherokee chief recognized by the English as "emperor" in 1730. Both the correct form and the meaning of the name are uncertain; the name occurs again as Moyatoy in a document of 1793; a boy upon the East Cherokee reservation a few years ago bore the name of Ma’tayi, for which no meaning can be found or given.
*********************************
Old Frontiers, by John P Brown, also details a Moytoy of Settico who was rampaiging through VA after the death of "Emperor" Moytoy of Tellico, and in the Colonial Records of South Carolina, 1754-1765, a letter dated 1/31/1757 references a "Moyatoya, son to the Mankiller of Highwassey deceased". [Moytoy's son Raven of Hiwassee had a son called Moytoy who could be this Moytoy of Settico]
*********************************
AKA A-ma'-he-ta-i or Rain Conjuror; I'm guessing the name "Moytoy" is an abbreviated form of A-ma'-he-ta-i = a-MA-HE-TA-I = Mahetai = Moytoy. (I also think that the "Pigeon" is a different person than Moytoy.)

"old Hop had a nephew, also named Standing Turkey, an active warrior who at his uncle's death served a short time as his successor. It was the younger Standing Turkey who conducted a four day assault upon Fort Loudoun in 1760, and who signed the articles of capitulation of the stronghold.
***********************************
Old Frontiers, pg 67;
Old Hop in his talk to Demere, gave his unusual evidence of patriotism. He said:
"I am now old and lie upon a bad bearskin. My life is not more than an inch long, and I know not when a bullet may cut it short. I want my brothers Captains Demere and Stuart to remember that the Great Warrior, Oconostota, and his brother [Amo-Scossite?], are the only two men in the nation that ought to be thought of after my death. "It is true that Willenawah and the Little Carpenter are my nephews, but I do not know how they would behave. If I had not remembered what I owe to a country I love, and had in mind to behave like a father, I would recommend my two sons, but I know them to be incapable, and biased by every lie that comes. I do not know how they will turn out, but I do know the others, for drunk or sober, they always admonish the Indians to love the white people."
