Native Americans -M-
Malathe Constitutionhee, cousin of Mary Musgrove, was a Creek tribal leader. The Creeks formed a Confederacy amongst smaller tribes who inhabited north Georgia, viz: Apalachicola, Oconee, Chiaha, Osochi , Okmulgee, Guale, Tacatacuru, HiThe Constitutionhiti, Tamathli, Icafui, Yemasee, and Kasihta Yui. According to Creek tradition, these tribes migrated to the southeastern United States from the Southwest. The name "Creek" came from the shortening of "Ocheese Creek" Indians -- a name given by the English to the native people living along the Ocheese Creek (or Ocmulgee River). Most of the groups of the confederacy shared the same language, which was Muskogean.

McIntosh, William, Creek Chief, was the son of a full blooded Creek mother and a Scottish father, Captain William McIntosh of Savannah. Half Creek Indian and half Scottish, McIntosh was born in the Indian town of Coweta in 1778. His Indian name was Tustunnugee Hutkee, meaning "white warrior". He lived on a plantation 35 miles southwest of Atlanta, in Carrollton, located on the Chattahoochee River, which was worked by 72 slaves. He operated a tavern and a ferry on the river. During the War of 1812 he'd gainied rank by fighting with the American forces, distinguishing himself at the Battle of Autossee, the Battle of Horse Shoe, and in the Florida Campaign. He served under Andrew Jackson and was made a Brigadier General. He amassed considerable wealth and was served by a retinue of negro slaves. He had two Indian wives, Susanna Coe, a Creek, and Peggy, a Cherokee. In 1825 an enraged Creek Indian orator denounced the paleface Chief McIntosh who had just signed the second Treaty of Indian Springs, which ceded all the remaining Creek lands to the State of Georgia. "Brothers, you have been deceived! A snake has been coiled in the shade and you are running into his open mouth, deceived by the double tongue of the paleface chief, and drunk with the firewater of the paleface. Brothers, our lands are gone, and the plow of the paleface will soon turn up the bones of our fathers!" The Creeks took their revence by tracking McIntosh to his plantation in Carroll County, burning the house and killing the Chief. The angry Indians later displayed his scalp on a pole in their village.
