Washington also met with Tanacharison ( also called " Half-King ") and other Iroquois leaders allied to Virginia at Logstown to secure their support in case of conflict with the French ; Washington and Tanacharison became friends and allies.

However, shortly after Hog left, Washington called together some young Indians and told them that the French had come to kill Tanacharison, and the Indians also left to pursue the French.

What exactly happened during and after the battle is a matter of some controversy, but the immediate outcome was that Jumonville was injured in the initial attack and then was killed-whether tomahawked by Tanacharison in cold blood or somehow shot by another onlooker with a musket as the injured man sat with Washington is not completely clear.

Tanacharison traveled with Washington to meet with the French commander of Fort Le Boeuf in what is now Waterford, Pennsylvania.

Washington immediately ordered 40 men to join Tanacharison and at sunset followed with a second group, seven of whom got lost in heavy rain that night.

That evening, Washington received a message from Tanacharison, who said he had found the French encampment.

That morning, they met with Tanacharison's 12 Indian warriors, and Washington and Tanacharison agreed to attack the encampment.

On the June 18, Washington met with Tanacharison, who told him that he had been unable to convince the other chiefs to assist Washington and said that he would also be unable to help the Virginians.

A company of colonial militia from Virginia under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Washington, and a small number of Mingo warriors led by Tanacharison ( also known as " Half King "), ambushed a force of 35 Canadiens under the command of Joseph Coulon de Villiers de Jumonville.

Washington was alerted to Jumonville's presence by Tanacharison, and they joined forces to surround the Canadian camp.

That evening, Washington received a message from Tanacharison, informing him that he had found the Canadien camp, and that the two of them should meet.

Despite the fact that he had just sent another group in pursuit of the Canadians, Washington went with a detachment of 40 men to meet with Tanacharison.

According to some historians, Washington was given the name in 1753 by the Seneca leader Tanacharison ( the " Half-King ").

Tanacharison — Washington's guide and ally at the outset of the French and Indian War — bestowed the name on Washington because it was the Iroquois nickname given to Washington's great-grandfather John Washington, who had emigrated to Virginia from England in 1657.

When Tanacharison bestowed the name on George Washington, it may have been as part of Washington's ceremonial adoption as a Seneca, intended to compliment the young Virginian's military ardor.

Tanacharison sent a messenger to Contrecoeur the following day with news that the British had shot Jumonville and but for the Indians would have killed all the French.

Tanacharison had lost influence over some of the local tribes ( specifically the Delawares ), and may have thought that conflict between the British and French would bring them back under his influence as allies of the British.

He completed the 1752 Treaty of Logstown, in which the local Indians, through their " Half-King " Tanacharison and an Iroquois representative, agreed to terms that included permission to build a " strong house " at the mouth of the Monongahela River ( the site of present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ).

On his journey, Washington's party stopped at Logstown to ask Tanacharison to accompany them as a guide and as a " spokesman " for the Ohio Indians.

Tanacharison attempted to convince the Delaware, Shawnee and the Seneca Indians to join the Virginians at Great Meadows.

A small detachment of French troops led by Joseph Coulon de Jumonville, was discovered by Tanacharison and a few warriors east of present-day Uniontown, Pennsylvania.

* October 4 – Tanacharison, Catawba Indian chief ( b. c. 1700 )

With the help of Mingo chiefs Tanacharison ( Half King ) and Scarouady, Croghan organized an Ohio Confederation of tribes.

Tanacharison or Tanaghrisson ( c. 1700?

Tanacharison first appears in historical records in 1747, living in Logstown ( near present Ambridge, Pennsylvania ), a multi-ethnic village about 20 miles ( 30 kilometers ) downstream from the forks of the Ohio River.

Those Iroquois who had migrated to the Ohio Country were generally known as " Mingos ", and Tanacharison emerged as a Mingo leader at this time.

According to the traditional interpretation, the Grand Council had named Tanacharison as leader or " half-king " ( as a sort of viceroy ) to conduct diplomacy with other tribes, and to act as spokesman to the British on their behalf.

However, some modern historians have doubted this interpretation, asserting that Tanacharison was merely a village leader, whose actual authority extended no further than his village.

Tanacharison agreed to return the symbolic wampum he had received from French captain Philippe de Joincaire.

Joincaire's first reaction, on learning of this double cross, was to mutter of Tanacharison, " He is more English than the English.

" But Joincaire masked his anger and insisted that Tanacharison join him in a series of toasts.

By the time the keg was empty, Tanacharison was too drunk to hand back the wampum.

The French refused to vacate, however, and to Washington's great consternation, they tried to court Tanacharison as an ally.

Tanacharison had requested that the British construct a " strong house " at the Forks of the Ohio and early in 1754 he placed the first log of an Ohio Company stockade there, railing against the French when they captured it.

Tanacharison was " one of the sachems who had confirmed Croghan in his land grant of 1749 " ( Wainwright, 49 ), 200, 000 acres minus about two square miles at the Forks of the Ohio for a British Fort.

It was to Croghan's Aughwick plantation that Tanacharison and Queen Aliquippa took their people in 1754 where the old queen died and Tanacharison became seriously ill and was taken to John Harris.

Like most of his party, Bayard opposed " Mr. Madison's War " as the War of 1812 was sometimes scornfully called, but like the Democratic-Republicans, he was outraged at the British actions on the high seas and recognized the need for action.

Most Heresiarchs are not true believers ; they are manipulative cynics who oppose the Catholic Church ( scornfully called " The Church of Pilate ") not only for theological reasons, but mainly for its power and influence.

Senior Waffen-SS commanders had little respect for Himmler and he was scornfully nicknamed " Reichsheini " by the Waffen-SS rank and file.

He is apparently from an affluent family, as he mentions his family hired servants such as a pool boy and a house boy ( both of whom he suspects slept with his father ); and Phoebe scornfully remarks in one episode, " Did the little rich boy have a problem with the butler?

Wolf had scornfully rejected the libretto to Der Corregidor when it was first presented to him in 1890, but his determination to compose an opera blinded him to its faults upon second glance.
