Bio: Indian name Talotiskee or Tale'danigi'ski
From One Hundred Years in the Cumberland Mountains by A R Hogue
"On the mountains above the head of Nettle Carrier Creek was a village of the Cherokee Indians. The site of the village is now known as the Indian Graves. In this village were two young braves who were in love with the same Indian maiden. To decide who should marry her, they went to the Chief of the tribe. The old Chief told them to each throw a sprig of green into the water of a nearby creek, and that the one whose sprig was carried the farthest by the water, should marry the girl. One threw a nettle, and the other a thorn. The nettle floated farthest, so this thrower married the Indian maiden, and from that day was called Nettle Carrier. The lucky Indian became chief of his tribe. Nettle Carrier was the last Indian chief to reside in this section, and tradition has it that he lived here until 1799."
The Indian Territory that had been within Overton County Tennessee, in which Chief Nettle Carrier presided over, was conceded to Tennessee for use by the white man.
Chief Nettle Carrier operated out of a camp located along the creek that now bears his name.
He is listed in several places as the son of Chief Dragging Canoe # 38782478
