I searched the Canadian version of Google and found these links:
http://www.biographi.ca/EN/ShowBioPrintable.asp?BioId=35792
This link indicates that Shikellemy’s second wife was Tutelo.
This link provides an online copy of The Tutelo Tribe and Language by Horatio Hale.
Also – Siouan speakers – any idea what, if anything, “wavern” might mean, if anything? It is part of a name.

thanks.
that first link you sent says —
The negotiations bore fruit in two deeds, dated 11 and 25 Oct. 1736 (signed by “Shekalamy†or “Shykelimy,†among others), releasing all claims by the Six Nations to land in southeastern Pennsylvania. Six years later Swatana participated in another council at Philadelphia when the Six Nations denied that the Delawares had rights to any remaining land in Pennsylvania; subsequently Pennsylvania oriented its Indian policy towards the Iroquois until about 1755, employing Swatana and Weiser as its agents.
end of quote
Recall the “revolt” against the English in Maryland in which the Totra were to play a role? It was to begin when Six Nations negotiators wre meeting to discuss land wasn’t it, in 1742? The above lists such negotiations 6 years after 1736 over land in Southern Pennsylania.
it also says —
As supervisor of the Shawnees, Swatana was in effect succeeded by another Oneida chief, Scarroyady, resident on the upper Ohio, where most of the Shawnees had resettled. As Pennsylvania’s adviser in Indian affairs, Swatana was followed by his oldest son John (John Shikellimy, John Logan) until about 1755, when provincial policy was altered by the Seven Years’ War and by William Johnson*’s appointment as superintendent of northern Indians.
Was John Logan then Swatana’s son?

I read in places that Shikellemy had two sons that he named Logan, John and James, I believe. If I am not mistaken, James is the one who became chief of the Mingos, but is not this one.
I have also read of some confusion about the sons. One is listed as buying land in upper Ohio; I believe it was John.
I may also may not be remembering things correctly either. Sources were online things.
