Biographical History
Cherokee Treaty Party leader and proponent of Cherokee emigration to the West.
John Ridge, the son of Major Ridge attended the mission schools at Spring-place Georgia, and Brainerd Mission in Tennessee. Because of his unusual intelligence he was sent to the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall, Connecticut in 1819. He was very handsome and distinguished in appearance but suffered from a scrofulous complaint which rendered him lame for a number of years. Ridge was killed because he signed the treaty of 1835 for the removal of the Cherokees to the West. He was dragged from his house near the Arkansas line on Saturday, June 22, 1839 and was stabbed repeatedly. He was about forty years of age.
