1812: LA,
1825: Wm. McIntosh d.,
[2]Creek chieftain William McIntosh died at his plantation home,
Lockchau Talofau, in what is now Carroll County, Georgia. [Some
sources -- such as the Dictionary of Georgia Biography -- incorrectly
cite May 1 as the date of his death.] McIntosh was the son of a Creek
Indian mother and a Tory officer father. Through his father he was
related to several notable Georgia officials, including his cousin
George Troup, governor from 1823-1827. But the Creeks traced lineage
through the mother; thus McIntosh became a chief among the Lower
Creeks, who lived near and interacted more with whites than did the
Upper Creeks, who lived along the Alabama, Tallapoosa, and and Coosa
Rivers.
