The Cayuga turned Mingo chief, Talgayeeta, was better known as Chief Logan. He was said to be a friend to all until his father, sister, and other relations were slaughtered by frontiersman Jacob Greathouse and his gang of Indian fighters, apparently just for eighteenth century frontier entertainment. This happened in what is now Hancock County, West Virginia, in 1774, and started Lord Dunmore's War. Talgayeeta took up the hatchet in retaliation and was eventually murdered seven years later. Greathouse, his wife, and forty-seven others were brutally tortured to death by Shawnee Indians in 1791.
