On June 22, 1839, John Rollin Ridge had witnessed the murder of his father, John Ridge, a prominent leader in the Cherokee Nation.

The three men were members of the Treaty Party, which had taken part in signing away what remained of Cherokee lands in the east and opposed Principal Chief John Ross.
