NOTE
The previous bio as been copied to a free space page Tahchee. That profile included information for three different men. Text and sources referring to the Chief named Oconostota and the western Chief named "Dutch" or "Tarchee" has been removed,. This profile is for the man who was the father of The Ridge and Oowatie.
Disputed/Confused Origins
Often confused with Oconostota, an earlier, prominent chief. There is no connection. Some claim that he was related to Attakullakulla and author Thurman Wilkins (without documentation) also says he may have also been called "Dutsi" or Tarchee. [1]
Biography
Oganstota was a Cherokee man probably born about 1750. HIs wife, whose name is unknown, was from the Deer Clan. They were the parents of The Ridge, and David Oo-wa-ti. [2] The Moravian missionaries also mentioned a daughter, but not by name. [3] According to memories of The Ridge, the family was displaced in 1776 during the Revolutionary War when American militia under Rutherford destroyed the Cherokee towns near Hiwassie [4] and moved to the Sequatchie valley farther down the Tennessee River. The family made a final move to Pine Log (now Georgia) about 1785. Oganstota and his wife are believed to have died there about about 1789. [5]

This profile is apparently meant to be the same man as Cherokee-212, the father of The Ridge. The Cherokee chief known as "Dutch" was a totally different man, Cherokee-105. Please merge.

Tah-Chee-1 and Cherokee-212 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles represent the father of The Ridge. No LNAB, so tribe name is used.
