Notes for JOHN BOWLES, SR, CHIEF:
Starr, A33, pg 472:John Bowles was the son of a Scotch trader and a full blood Cherokee woman.His father was killed and robbed by two North Carolinans while on his way home from Charlestown with goods for his establishment.This murder was in 1768 when the son was only twelve years of age, but within the next two years the fair complexioned, auburn haired boy had killed both his father's slayers.
**********************
The Texas Cherokees, p10-11;"In January [1810] Duwali, also known as Bowl and Bold Hunter, chief of the Town of Little Hiwassee (on the Hiwassee river, now western NC) and another headman named Saulowee (Tsu-lawi or Fox) jointly conducted a group of seventy five from their villages... Duwali's and Takatoka's people settled along the White and St Francis rivers in present day northeast Arkansas.
The Texas Cherokees, p99;"Bob Smith, with a pistol in his hand, ran toward him from further down the line...I called 'Captain, don't shoot him' but he fired, striking Bowles in the head and killing him instantly."
(John Hunter Reagan, eyewitness to Duwali's death, 7/16/1839)
The Texas Cherokees, p127;"Born about 1756 of a Scotish father and full blood Cherokee mother...
**********************
Myths of the Cherokee, p146;Christmas day 1839, in a fight on Cherokee Creek, San Saba Co, ...captured were the wife & family of The Bowl.
**********************
When Diwali saw that his people were going to be overun, he rode to the rear of his small army of warriors and there he waited for the advancing Texans.The 83-year old chief rode with sword and hat given him by his friend Sam Houston. (The sword is now in the Masonic Lodge in Tahlequah Oklahoma.) The old Chief was shot and knocked off his horse, and he rolled over to a sitting position. While he sat on the ground singing his war song, a Captain Smith rode up, stepped off his horse, and shot the old warrior in the head with a pistol. The Texans would not allow his body to be removed. The bones of the old Chief remained exposed and on the ground until the late 1800's.

Notes for JENNIE DUE:
"The Texas Cherokee", Dianna Everett, Univ of OK Press, p146;
"interesting to note... Talihina's mother (John Roger's wife) was named Jennie Due; coincidentally one of Duwali's three wives was named Jennie (the other two were Utsuta and Utiyu).It is possible that Duwali married Jennie Due after the death of John Rogers thereby becoming Talihina's "father".
