Watts, John - Cherokee Chief, was born in 1753, the son of Trader John Watts. Also known as Kettiegesta, he was for many years a leading chief of the warlike Chickamauga faction of Cherokees that waged war on the American Frontier.
From page 353 of "Old Frontiers", by J.P. Brown: Chief John Watts was described by Governor Blount as "unquestionably the leading man in his Nation." He possessed a talent for making friends, red and white. William Martin, son of General Joseph Martin, said of him, "He was one of the finest looking men I ever saw, large of stature, bold and magnanimous, a great friend of my father
s." Major G.W. Sevier states: He was a noble looking Indian, always considered a generous and honorable enemy," and other pioneers paid high tribute to his "engaging personality".
John married Kay-I-Oh "Wurtagua" Of The CHEROKEE. Kay-I-Oh (daughter of Chief ATTAKULLAKULLA and Nionne OLLIE) was born in 1752 in In Cherokee Nation; died in 1808. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
