1 Research Challenge: Elinipsico - Allanawissica

 I'm trying to find the first instance where Elinipsico (son of Cornstalk) is referred to as Allanawissica.

Right now, May 2025 I have this 

REVOLUTION ON THE UPPER OHIO, 1775-1777

published in 1908

Compiled from the Draper Manuscripts in the Library of the Wisconsin Historical Society and published at the charge of the Wisconsin Society of the Sons of the American Revolution
EDITED BY
REUBEN GOLD THWAITES, LL. D.

You can read it online

The first Instance that I have found of Elinipsico (spelled with two Ls) in a published work is:

Chronicles of border warfare

by Withers, Alexander Scott, 1792-1865

published in 1831

Do you know of anything earlier?
