Notes - MOYTOY Born: before 1700. The Cherokee term for Moytoy was Amoadawehi(Amahetai) or Rain or Water Conjuror. He was from Great Hiwassee orLittle Hiwassee of the Valley. He later became the head warrior ofTellico of the Overhills. In 1730, he was appointed the Emperor(British medal chief) of the Cherokee Nation by British imperialists.He died in battle in 1741. This was the same year of Caulunna's death(see Family of Oconostota). Caulunna was a significant Cherokee leaderin the era of Moyoytoy, and was Oconostota's uncle, and Quatsis' brotherIt has been speculated by some that Caulunna and Moytoy were the sameperson- In fact, many secondary sources state that Oconostota andAttakullakulla were brothers. Attakullakulla's mother waas the sisterof Moytoy, and Old Hop was their brother, If Moytoy was Caulunna, hewould have been both Oconostota and Attakullakulla's older uncle. Hewould have been responsible for the upbringing of both throughmanhood, This may ex-plain why somme historians conclude thatOconostota and Attakullakulla were relatives. Yet, neither family evermentioned being kin to one another. Also, Old Hop stated thatAttakullakulla was his nephew. In the same statement, Old Hop mentionsOconostota without calling him his relative. There are no documentedrecords to prove that Caulunna and Moytoy were the same person Moytoywas a Cherokee man
