Biographical History

Wheunclowo was a Cherokee spokesman who travelled north in May, 1758, to deliver messages informing the Six Nations and the Delawares that Cherokee warriors were coming to join Gen. Abercromby in his expedition against the French, not to attack northern tribes allied with the English. When Wheunclowo fell ill in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Provincial Council, thinking he might die, ordered Richard Peters to obtain his message.

From the description of A message from Techtama and Homwhyowa or the Wolf King the two chiefs of the Cherokees to the Delawares : as it was delivered by Lowe [i.e. Wheunclowo] the messenger at Philadelphia to Mr. Peters & Israel Pemberton, 1758 June 20 / John Hart interpreter.
