In 1775, Chiefs Oconostota, Attacullaculla, and Sewanooko signed the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals, relinquishing Cherokee claims to most of present-day Kentucky in the largest land cession in frontier history up to that time, a step that led to the settlement of Forts Harrod, Boonesborough, and Logan's Station. In the 1700s, Chief Doublehead, or Chiqualataque, an influential leader in the Cumberland Plateau region, frequently attacked the Wilderness Trail and Kentucky settlements, and Wm. Whitley, Benj. Logan, and Isaac Shelby fought against his raids. Yet Doublehead also negotiated significant land and peace treaties and was a guest of Pres. Washington, Adams, and Jefferson.
