He is noted as a signer of the Treaty of February 24, 1833 at Fort Gibson with the Government and, with Roley McIntosh, represented the Creeks at an intertribal conference with the western tribes which opened at Fort Gibson on September 2, 1834 and in these proceedings took an engaging part.

Among his many noted descendants are David McKellop Hodge, Albert Pike McKellop, Matt Taylor, a modern-day published astro photographer, and Pleasant Porter.
