- John_Looney_(Cherokee_chief) abstract "John Looney was born about 1782 in what is now North East corner of Alabama. He was said to have been 3/4 Cherokee by blood and a Nephew of Chief Black Fox (Cherokee chief) (Enoli). The earliest record of John Looney shows that he served from 6 Oct 1813 until 6 Jan 1814 during the Creek War (War of 1812) as a Corporal in Capt. George Fields Company of Col. Gideon Morgan's Regiment of Cherokee Warriors under General Andrew Jackson. John Looney fought at the Battle of Emuckfaw in January 1814 and was severely wounded by a gunshot which went through the left shoulder and out his shoulderblade disabeling him. Later in life Looney applied for and received a pension in recognition of his military service and disabeling wound. He was placed on the Invalid List at Fort Gibson Agency, Arkansas under the Act of April 14, 1842.In 1815 John Looney married Betsy Weber, daughter of Will Weber, the mixed-blood headman of Willstown during the Chickamauga wars. Looney's daughter Eleanor was the first wife of Stand Watie.John Looney, with four in his family, registered his lifetime "Reservation", Number 140, on 15 Sept. 1818 under the Treaty of July 8, 1817. Looney's Reservation was located at "Creekpath, to include the place where Black Fox lived and died." John and Betsy Looney left Creekpath about 1823 and moved west into Arkansas along with other Cherokee. Looney had placed his reservation at Creekpath in the care of his two sisters, Peggy Mink and Susannah, who were forced off of the property by whites. An appeal for the loss of the Reservation was filed on behalf of Looney's children, but the court ruled that Looney had forfeit the property back to the U.S. Government when he abandoned it and moved west. Looney's Reservation was never surveyed.Around 1828 Looney and the other Cherokee who lived in Arkansas were forced to move farther west into what later became Indian Territory (N.E. Oklahoma). This group of Cherokee were recognized as the "Western Cherokee" and sometimes referred to as the "Old Settlers" or the "Old Settlers-Treaty Party".John Looney, who had been elected as Third Chief, became Principal Chief of the Western Cherokee after the death of John Jolly on December 28, 1838. It was about this time that the Eastern Cherokee were arriving from the west due to their forced removal from North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. The Eastern Cherokee had brought with them their own Constitution and Principal Chief, John Ross, which they did not intend to give up. The Western Cherokee, anticipating trouble with the new arrivals, held a new election on April 22, 1839 and elected John Brown, Principal Chief, and John Looney and John Rogers as Second and Third Chief.There was descention between the Eastern and Western Cherokee and on June 22, 1839 several members of the Old Settlers-Treaty Party were murdered. Major Ridge, his son John Ridge and Elias Boudinot were killed while Stand Watie escaped. John Ross, Principal Chief of the Eastern Cherokee, denied any involvement in or knowledge of the murders. Soon after this John Ross held a National Convention for the East and West Cherokee beginning July 1, 1839 where he appointed a committee to draft a new Constitution, where he made Sequoyah (George Guess) President of the Old Settlers, where he drew John Looney into his fold and where he had Looney, Guess and Tobacco Will depose John Brown and John Rogers as Chiefs of the Old Settlers. The Convention and new Constitution were completed on Sept. 6, 1839 and John Ross was immediately elected as Principal Chief with Joseph Vann as his assistant principal chief.Looney died May 15, 1846 at the Fuller Hotel in Washington, D.C. while serving as a Delegate for the Cherokee Nation.".
