I don't know where you are based, but most major Virginia libraries have the
multi-volume Calendar of Virginia State papers, the best access is Swem's
Virginia Historical Index which they should also have.
Since Swem's also indexes the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography and
the William and Mary Quarterly. One of these should provide the information
you seek. At least one of the articles in the Virginia Historical Register
does discuss the Sandy Creek Expedition.

This sounds promising though I don't know how to access the Virginia
Historical Register or the Calender of Virginia State Papers. I am looking
for a lesser known Cherokee/Virginian expedition not the one in 1756
usually called the "Sandy Creek Expedition". As for the resources I have
checked, I have used Google, the book I already discussed, and E Lawrence
Lee's "Indian Wars in North Carolina 1663-1763" which I also have on my
bookshelf.
