Elinipsico Cornstalk

On November 11, 1777 James Hall and a number of Virginia militia members attacked and killed the Shawnee Chief Cornstalk and two of his sons who, at the time, were being held prisoner. This reignited the frontier war for survival with both sides killing each other as fast as they were able. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Indian+Chief+Cornstalk+&view=de...

Based on Sugden, John (1999). "Cornstalk". American National Biography. Oxford University Press.

There is no reliable source for the name of a wife or wives.

Children seen as:

• Cutemwha (The Wolf) In the 1780s, Cutemwha (also known as Piaseka or Biaseka), would emerge an important Shawnee chief.[7]
• Allanawissica (also called Elinipsico).[1] Elinipsico died with his father at Point Pleasant. [3] [8]
• Wissecapoway, aka Captain Morgan, was a Shawnee held captive by Lord Dunmore during 1775 in Williamsburg, VA. He is also said to be a son of Cornstalk, the Shawnee Chief. [9] Dunmore later released him. Nothing more is known about him.
• A unnamed daughter was mentioned in the pension application of a Henry Aleshite who stated he was at Point Pleasant when Cornstalk and a white man who was married to Cornstalk's daughter were murdered. Her name is not given, nor is the name of the 'white man.' [10]

Peter Cornstalk (Wynepeuchsika), a noted Shawnee chief, was apparently not Cornstalk's son, as is sometimes written.[11]

• another note: not many Euro/Native American couples in this tree were married in Euro-cultural tradition. Some unions between couples were not necessarily by consent of both partners.

• this entire tree is based on the books Shawnee Heritage I & II Greene and Schutz sourced in the Shawnee oral tradition
