Near the mouth of Shoulder-bone Creek on the banks of the Oconee River, a treaty of amity, peace, and commerce was signed on November 3, 1786, by eight commissioners representing the State of Georgia and 59 head men of the Creek Confederation. Among its terms was the cession of all lands east of the Oconee River to white men. To insure faithful performance, the Creeks left five of their men in the hands of the Georgians: Chuwocklie Mico of the Cowetas; Cuchas and his brother, Suckawockie, of the Cussetas; Eneathlocao, second man of Broken Arrow; and Enautaleche, nephew of the headman of the Swaglos. Those representing Georgia at Shoulder-bone were John Habersham for Chatham County, Abraham Ravot for Effingham, John Clements for Burke, James McNiel for Richmond, John King for Wilkes, James Powell for Liberty, Ferdinand O’Neal for Glynn and Camden, Jared Irwin for Franklin, Greene, and Washington, and Benjamin Porter. The treaty was soon repudiated by Creek Chief Alexander McGillivray, who had refused to attend, was sympathetic with the Spaniards of Florida, and argued that the Creek representation at Shoulder-bone was not sufficient to speak for the Confederation.
