I will now give you some of the reasons which obtained with Weatherford to cause him to join the hostiles against the Americans. Himself and Sam Moniac (his brother-in-law, who was married to Weatherford’s sister Elizabeth) had gone to (Chickasahay ??) with a drove of beef cattle and when they returned they found the warriors in council where they had decided to join the British. They had been influenced to take this course by Tecumshe and his prophet, Seekaboo who was a ( naspieanatta ??) chief, who spoke good English. (I spell Tecumpsee as the Indians pronounced it, Tecumshe).
