His father, John Whistler, born in Ulster, Ireland about 1756; served in the British Army under Burgoyne and was made a prisoner with him at the Battle of Saratoga, October 17, 1777. Soon after Whistler's return to England he met and fell in love with Miss Ann Bishop, daughter of Sir Edward Bishop. After their marriage they removed to America, settled at Hagerstown, Maryland and shortly afterwards John became a lieutenant adjutant in the levies of 1791. He was wounded in an Indian campaign that year; in 1792 he became an ensign in the First Infantry and on July 1, 1797, he received his captaincy. In the summer of 1803, Captain Whistler was ordered from Detroit with his company of the First Infantry to the head-waters of Lake Michigan where he built Fort Dearborn, finishing it before the end of the year. -

Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795
"To Treat with All Nations": Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert Ohio Valley History, Volume 18, Number 1, Spring 2018, pp. 27-44 (Article) Published by The Filson Historical Society and Cincinnati Museum Center For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/689417 [ Access provided at 26 Sep 2021 02:59 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] “To Treat with All Nations” Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert gulayacabé was furious in the fall of 1796. Like many Chickasaws, he was stunned to learn of the recent treaty between the United States and Spain, which now jeopardized his nation’s sovereignty. The deal, Uwhich gave the Americans navigation rights to the Mississippi River and drew a new border along the 31st parallel, was the culmination of constant jockey- ing between the empires over land and trade routes in the Southeast since the American Revolution. However, the Treaty of San Lorenzo (also called Pinckney’s Treaty) was little different from other imperial pacts in that American Indians were not invited to the table. Nevertheless, the pact meant relations in Indian country were to be amended. At a meeting at San Fernando de las Barrancas (present-day Memphis), Ugulayacabé railed against his Spanish friends. “We see that our Father not only abandons us like small animals to the claws of tigers and the jaws of wolves.” The United States’ proclamations of friendship, he contin- ued, were like “the rattlesnake that caresses the squirrel in order to devour it.”1 Of course, not everyone shared Ugulayacabé’s frustrations. -
