... In 1751, Grant was assigned to supervise the traders in the Valley Towns along the Hiwassee River [49] and relocated his residence to Tomotley.[50] ...
... John Stuart arrived in Tomotley in the fall of 1756. His company was tasked with selecting a site and building Fort Loudoun to protect Cherokee women and children in times of war. [51] ...
... The fort was attacked by Standing Turkey and his warriors in March 1760 and the siege continued until August, when Stuart and James Anderson negotiated terms to surrender with the Cherokee chiefs. [2][69] Stuart returned to Charles Town,[70] which would have dissolved the partnership he had with Susannah. ...
... After failing to secure several appointments in 1761,[70] Stuart became the British superintendent of Indian affairs for the southern district of North America,[72] and died in Florida in 1779.[54] ...
