When Governor William Lyttelton of South Carolina seized several Cherokee Chiefs and sent them to Fort Prince George as hostages, the fort came under siege by Chief Oconostota. After Captain Richard Cotymore was lured out and fatally wounded (16 February 1760), the Indian hostages were killed. But Oconostota lacked the forces to take the fort and turned northwest against Fort Loudoun.
