Seems Grandpa didnt have much use for those Indians. I bet they treated them Yanks the same way about 15 years later... I had kinfolk that were killed by the redsticks at Ft Mims in 1813.

It appears that some of those Creeks are the ones that traveled thru here trying to get into Florida over 20+ year period. They murdered, stole, and pillaged as they continually passed thru southern Georgia. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

I got a cousin out there, San Antonio iirc, that I've spoken to once or twice on geneology sites. She's still got a decent sized tract there in Alabama on the other side of the beat. Most of them didn't make it that far stopping in Mississippi. Can't say I blame them as their end of the beat was pretty close to the Salt Works, and the yanks stockaded it and manned it for several years after the war. I wouldn't want to hang around that theiving bunch either.

Incredibly mean and ruthless. During the time, most of Texas and parts of Oklahoma was known as Comancheria. Even other tribes both feared and hated them; known as headhunters and absolute savages throughout. They were so mean, they drove the Apaches into the desert and forced the more peaceful Tribes of the east, further east. They had a reputation of complete brutality. My Great great great grandfather fought them as well. He was in the Texas Revolution and also a Texas Ranger afterwards. He was a descendant of Myles Standish from the Mayflower. ×”×ž×©×™×— ×”×•× ×”×ž×œ×š

KeithC trapper K Joined: May 2009 Champaign County, Ohio.	Originally Posted by warrior Originally Posted by Savell …. Had a couple that fought in the battle of Atlanta Swamp … one didn’t make it … maybe our kin knew one another The 32nd Alabama Infantry fought from Chickamauga to Nashville. They were the unit atop Missionary Ridge when Sherman broke out of Chattanooga. My ggg grandfather Cpl Malcom McLeod was lost in that battle, his brother Cpt Daniel McLeod was there and lost a son and son in law in addition to his brother. Matter of fact because the regiment was raised by county each company was more or less made up of kinsmen and cousins. Missionary Ridge left alot of widows in Clarke county, Alabama. They were consolidated with the 58th Alabama Infantry for the remainder of the war and finally mustered out at Spanish Fort on the Eastern Shore on Mobile Bay. BTW, I recently learned that landmines were used by the confederacy in the battles at Spanish Fort and Blakely. They were 12 pounder shells equipped with a pressure detonator. Only known from there and Savannah. Shame they weren't developed earlier. Keith

Most of mine fought against it in the Carolinas. That's how we ended up in Spanish West Florida. Though years later my g grand would marry the ggg grand daughter of a brigadier general they fought against.
