Techtama, Cherokee chief.
Biographical notes:
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.
