Biography

Allanawissica was also known as Elinipsico and was the son of the Shawnee leader Cornstalk. He came to Fort Randolph seeking his father, who was being held hostage, and was murdered together with him by militiamen on November 10, 1777.

Custody record

Encyclopedia Virginia identifies Elinipsico as Allanawissica and records his murder in captivity on November 10, 1777. That supports the death endpoint, but does not independently establish November 9 admission or an exact one-day term.
