# Nathaniel Gist

> Nathaniel Gist was born in Maryland and fought during the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. He was reputed by Wurteh Watts to be the father of Sequoyah, the famous Cherokee. Like his father Christopher Gist (1706–1759), he served in Braddock's Expedition in 1755 and the Forbes Expedition in 1758. The outbreak of the American Revolution found him on the frontier. At first suspected of sympathizing with the British, he convinced the Americans of his loyalty.
