He was captured while camped at Dunlawton plantation, [1] and held at Fort Marion. He died while being transported west in 1839. [2]

He was "also a very aged chief, who has been a man of great notoriety and distinction in his time, but has now got too old for further warlike enterprize." [3] [4]

His son was Coacoochee (Wild Cat).
