Actually, it was John Ridge (son of Major Ridge) along with his two cousins Elias Boudinot and Stand Watie, who were assassinated by members of the Ross party faction because they were the principle signers of the Treaty of New Echota.
John Ross died August 1st 1866 in Washington DC.

Ross died on August 1, 1866 in Washington, DC.
Chief John Ross was buried in Washington, D.C., but the Cherokee resolution also called for their leader to be brought back to Oklahoma, where he was laid to rest in ceremonious tribute honoring the man who had overcame numerous challenges to his authority and managed to hold them together as a people through the darkest years in Cherokee history. His body was returned to Indian Territory where he is buried at Ross Cemetery in Park Hill, Oklahoma.

Well I guess I should have looked that up rather than trying to use my poor memory. However it was definitely Andrew Jackson who sold the Scots-Indians down the River. He did the Choctaws ever worse.
