The Leading Families of the Creek Nation Are Described With Their Intermarriage to the Whites.

The present installment of General woodward's "Reminiscences is the last half of a long letter dealing with the Indians, the half breeds, and the whites who came into the Creek Nation at the earliest times. In this part of the let ter he deals particularly with the leading Indian families of Montgomery and Macon County and their fntermar- riagee among the early whites. :, It is a notable fact that a number of the descendants of the families to whom he alludes are yet living on Iit- tie River in Baldwin and Monroe Coun- ties, When the Creeks-were moved west of the. Mississippi after the In dian trouble of 1886, a number of the wealthier families of the Indians. prac- tically all of whom had white blood. established themselves along the Lit tie River and to this day they are lfV- ing there.
 The family of William Weatherford. the famous War Leader. lives on farms and plantations along this river. with other descendants of the leading Creek families.
 General woodward's recital in this letter of the trial and execution of Barney Riley. a half breed. on Line Creek near the present village of Mount Meigs. is an incident of the early history of Alabama worthy of preservation. In the written history 1t has no place and if 1t was ever print ed. except in his letters, 1t has es- capped notice.
 While returning from visit to the Northern Indians. Barney Riley killed Captain Iss Isaacs in what is now Ten nessee Returning to the Nation. he reported his crime. The Indians. ac- cording to their custom. tried him and sentenced him to death. This he must have expected when he made his con- fession. The execution, General Wood ward says. took place on Line Creek. about which so much Indian history was made.
