for Murder by the Indians on
 Line Greek.
 Dog by the mother of Tuskenea. The stock was good.
 The Big Woman's first daughter, Amy, was not cornells; her father was Tom Low. Sukey was Alexander s first child by the Big Woman; she had her second cousin, Dick Cornells. for a husband. Charles was their oldest son, who hung himself in 1927 or '2S. He had Peggy McGillivray for wife, the daughter of Alexander McGillivray.
 Hawkins Cornells wife was an In- dian. He and Charles left several children. But long before Charles hung himself. his wife. Peggy McGilliv- ray, died; and he married the widow of Bob Mosely; her name was Sumerly Bob Mosely was a white man. whom mentioned to you before. in connection with John Ward.
 Amy Low, the oldest daughter of Alexander Cornells' wife, had George Goodwin for a husband Goodwin was the half brother of Jim Boy. and the man we picked up. with few others when we went to Moniac's cowpens in company with weatherford, few days after his surrender to General Jack son.
 Of French Origin.
 The next is Ben or Peter Durant- he was called by both names-who was a South Carolinian of French origin. He came to the Nation and married Sophy, McGillivray, sister of unn Laughlin. John and Sandy. Laughlin married Miss Hall. who was born and raised at or near the Cow-ford on St. Johns river. East Florida, where Jack sonville Is now. John and Sandy went off with Peter Mcqueen to Florida After the old Creek war. Sandy died at Tampa Bay; John went to the Is- land of New Providence. Laughlin Durant raised several children. His daughter, Sarah. brought up pretty much by Davy White in Mobile. mar ried Sam Adams. who once run a line of stages from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico. and afterwards run a line through the Creek Nation, and was with Jim Greene the night he was killed and the first stages were burn ed.
 The daughters of Bon Durant were Rachel, who married Billy McGirth, a son of Daniel McGirth of revolutionary memory; they raised one son. named Billy. After McGirth's death, she mar ried Davy Walker and raised two sons. pavy and Ben: after Walker died, she married a man by the name of Der shins. and was living among the Choc- jaws the last I knew of her. Polly, tn. second daughter, married full-b1ooded Tallassee, named Cochirny, and lived like all other Indians. Sophia married a pr. Macomes; Betsy married Peter Mcqueen, which I have already men toned
 The Mcintosh family is next. It has been a asmatter of dispute with some as to the name of the father of Billy or Rolin McIntosh-whether it was Rolin or Lauchlan; but think it was the latter. for I knew half brother of Billy and Rolin who was a full white man. He was in the Legislature of Georgia, and I think he told me his father was Lauchlan Mcintosh. Billy and Rolin were half brothers. Billy was the greatest man I ever knew to have been raised entirely among the Indians. His history Is well known; but I will give you the names of some of his children. His oldest daughter, by Creek woman, was named Jane. She married Billy Mitchell, a son of the then Agent; after that she married Sam Hawkins. who was killed at the same time Mcintosh was. She then married Paddy Carr. but left him and moved to Arkansas at an early day. His (McIntosh's) other Creek children were Chilly and Lewis, sons, and Het- ty and Lucy, daughters. His daughter by the Cherokee woman married Ben Hawkins, the brother of Sam. Ben was killed many years ago in Texas. and Qf the time Hnnnftha Jo'~ called Dick Johnson. was killed. Ben Hawkins widow married Spire NJ. Hagarty, who before that had the daughter of Seechy Cornells for a wife Billy had half brother on the mothers side, named Hagy. He was often called Mcintosh. but was a full Indian. Rolin is now the principal chief of the lower towns-an honest good man. and as brave as men ever get to be.
 An English Family.
 The next are the Marshalls Old man Marshall was an Englishman. He settled where Columbus, Ga. now Is. He had three sons. Joe. Jim and Ben. 5oe was true friend of the whites, and so were his brothers. He was good fighter, and lost one of his eyes defending the Tuckabatchys. when they were forted in. in the time of tho war. He was killed by drunken h. dian after the whites settled the coun- try in Chambers county. Jim, I think died-tn Russell County. Ala; and Ben. very intelligent man. is yet living in Arkansas,
 To go through with the Derrysaws. Steadhams. Towards. Linders, Hollin- gers, McGees, Hawkins. Graysons Bruners, Keeners, Danileys. Lofts Baileys. Fishers, Birfords, Brintons. Reeds. Gregorys, Hales. Rileys, and a great many other whites and half breeds whom I have known and could name. would be too tedious, and would be coming up in the neighborhood of Johns views, as to the sayings and doings of his master during a three years service. The world, no doubt would hold my books. but they would at least be too lengthy for newspaper publication. So. I will give you an ac- count of the Riley family, and then go on with the full Indians.
 John O'Riley. more generally known as pacing John Riley, was an Irish man; he had two half breed sons by a Tuskegee woman. Barney and John. Barney. at the commencement of the old Creek war. was hostile; but after the skirmish at the old Tuckabatchy
