| Indian leader and soldier, born in what is now Carroll Co, Georgia, USA. The son of a British officer and a Creek Indian, he led the Lower Creeks in alliance with US forces during the War of 1812 and served under Andrew Jackson in the Seminole campaign in Florida (1817–18). A party of Upper Creeks, incensed by his conciliatory policies toward white settlers, killed him at his home (1 May 1825). |
