Commandant at Fort Patrick Henry in the Illinios Country on 20 Mar 177?. He was at Cahokia on 31, May 1780. He occupied Ft Confederation in 1799 from www.wvculture.org/history/indland.html

In 1778, George Rogers Clark temporarily broke the British-Indian alliance with victories in the Illinois territory at Kaskaskia, Cahokia, and Vincennes, Colonials rejected an attempt by Wyandots and some Shawnee to negotiate a peace in 1779. Although the main British army surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, on Oct 19, 1781, occasional clashes occurred on the frontier. The bloodiest Revolutionary War battle in western Virginia Began on Sept 10, 1782. Wyandot, Dellawar and British forces attacked FT Henry. The most dramatic story associated with this siege of Ft Henry is the daring run of Elizabeth Zane, who allegedly carried gunpowder to the fort amidst heavy gunfire. The settlers, held the fort, and after three days the Indians and their British allies gave up. Soon thereafter, the British ordered a halt to all attacks on the Frontier"

Richard and his brother, Tobias, married sisters who were the daughters of William Brocus. Richard was discharged from the Army in Louisville, KY in 1781 and married Ann Brocus that same year. He was 27. He was granted 4000 acres for his military service: 1000 acres at the mouth of ObyanCreek on 8-3-1782, 1000 acres on the Virginia and Carolina state line on8-6-1784, 1000 acres on the Cumberland River on 8-10-1784 and 1000 acres on Mayfield Creek on 8-12-1784.

Notes:

Turner Brashears exerted the most influence in West Yazoo's councils and among its most prominent cheifs and families. Spanish officials considered Turner Brashears "an intimate friend of Franchimastabe' and Farnchimastabe delcared that Brashears "deserved all of his confidence. A Native of MD Brasheers journeyed to Choctaw territory sometime during the American Rev. He became a trader in West Yazoo for the Panton, Leslie Company and after the US established th MS Territory in 1798, Brashears ran a tavern on the Natchez Trace and owned several Slaves. ..Significantly Brashears steered West Yazoos Leaders in an independant direction that was neither wholly pro Spanish nor pro American.
Such a list of achieve ments portrays Brashears success in the business world, but it masks the role of those who shared their lives with him and made his achievements possible. Brashear's wife was the key to his success among the Choctaws because she provided him a kinship tie within Choctaw Society and connected him to some of the most esteemed Choctaw men and elite families of the 8th century. Brashears wife was a daughter of Taboca and probably a niece of Granchimastabe(One of Franchimastabe sisters was likely Taboca wife since Franchimastabe promoted one of Taboca sons as his successor a natural arrangement for an uncle and maternal nephew in Choctaw matrilineal society. ) THese familia ties made Brashears and any of his C hoca Children the responsibility of Franchimastae while simultaneously connecting Brashaears with Taboca
Such bonds facilitated trade relationships: traders gained acceptance and secured a steady supply of customers, while Choctaw elites obtained constant access to European goods and the prestige of a trader living in their town. The contemporary Choctaw writer Le Anne How offers a plausible scenario for how prominent Choctaw families chose traders for marriage. In her short story. "Danse D'Amour, Danse de Mort" she suggests that a girl's maternal uncle did the selecting: "Atokotubbee asked his niece to choose the Naholla with the young face and graying hair. "teach that one to dane, alla tek,' he said, motioning her toward the four white mean seated apart of the Choctaws next to the fire"

TREATY WITH THE CHOCTAW -- 1816
A treaty of cession between the United States of America and the Choctaw Nation of Indians.

JAMES MADISON, president of the United States of America, by general John Coffee, John Rhea, and John M'Kee, esquires, commissioners on the part of the United States, duly authorized for that purpose, on the one part, and the mingoes, leaders, captains, and warriors, of the Chactaw nation, in general council assembled, in behalf of themselves and the whole nation, on the other part, have entered into the following articles, which, when ratified by the president of the United States, with the advice and consent of the senate, shall be obligatory on both parties:

ARTICLE 1. The Chactaw nation, for the consideration hereafter mentioned, cede to the United States all their title and claim to lands lying east of the following boundary, beginning at the mouth of Ooktibbuha, the Chickasaw boundary, and running from thence down the Tombigby river, until it intersects the northern boundary of a cession made to the United States by the Chactaws, at Mount Dexter, on the 16th November, 1805.

ARTICLE 2. In consideration of the foregoing cession, the United States engage to pay to the Chactaw nation the sum of six thousand dollars annually, for twenty years; they also agree to pay them in merchandise, to be delivered immediately on signing the present treaty, the sum of ten thousand dollars.

Done and executed in full and open council, at the Choctaw trading house, this twenty-fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixteen, and of the independence of the United States the forty-first.

Just east of the present site of Ridgeland was the first stand to be opened on the Natchez Trace, called Turner Brashear's Stand.

In The Mississippi Herald and The Natchez Gazette, it was announced on Dec. 2, 1806, that Turner Brashear, an enterprising frontiersman, had opened a "house of entertainment, in the wilderness on the road leading from Natchez to Nashville about 40 miles from William Smith's at the Indian line."

Brashear's Stand was probably the first opened here as a result of the U.S. Agent Silas Dinsmoor's successful negotiations in 1805 providing for three such establishments. The stand became well known and was listed as one of the Trace's stations in the travel guides at the time.

After 1850, King's Inn occupied the ground on which Brashear's Stand formerly stood. It was reported that as many as 80 guests would spend a night at the stand and there was always a minimum of four or five guests. Andrew Jackson visited the Inn on his return from the Battle of New Orleans, and Gen. Stephen D. Lee used it as his headquarters during the Civil War.

There were times when guests at the famous King's Inn failed to complete their journey, especially if they appeared to be wealthy. King's Inn owner John King was an associate of the famous Murrell gang, and according to legend, did not mind relieving his guests of their wealth and tossing their remains into the wilderness.

Perhaps because of the notorious inference, King's Inn's name was changed to Hawthorne Vale by Maryetta Culley, the oldest daughter of DeVander Culley, who bought it in 1852. Hawthorne Vale was destroyed by fire in 1896.

Robert married "Jane" Hotioka APUKSHUNNUBBEE about 1786 in Okla Falaya, Choctaw Nation-Mississippi. "Jane" (daughter of Chief Mingo APUKSHUNNUBBEE and ABU TO NA) was born in 1775 in Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, Mississippi; died in 1822 in Okla Falaya, Choctaw Nation-Mississippi.
