Cornplanter – Hokolesqua – Ear of Corn (1720-1777) was a Shawnee chief. His original home was Shawnee Springs, Winchester Virginia. 1754, he relocated across the mountains along the Ohio/Pennsylvania border. Leader of the Battle of Mt. Pleasant 1774, he was murdered while visiting Americans on a diplomatic mission.
Weirdly, both my grandfathers have Shawnee grandmothers from the Shawnee Springs area.
