Fort Mimms), a number of the young warriors and few dld ones had become
 restless. Not long after Lott was killed,
 an old gentleman named Meredith was killed at the crossing on Catoma creek in what is now Montgomery county. This was done by the Olisees in one of their riotous sprees. The Big Warrior
 undertook to have them punished, but failed to do so, and in an attempt to arrest them an Olisee Indian was killed.
 A few days after this, the Ilsees at- tackled a party of Tucka batchies, under the chief Emutta, at the old agency, or Polecat springs, which was then occu- pied by Nimrod Doyle. He had been soldier under General St. Clair, was at his defeat, and afterwards with General Wayne.
 Soon after this, a chief, Tustanugga- chee, or Little Warrior, and Coosada
 Indian known as Captain Isaacs, who had gone north with Teoumseh, were re- turning to the Creek nation, and learned
 from solhe Chickasaws that the Creeks had gone to war; Relying on this in formation, the Little Warriors party did
 some mischief on the frontier of Tennes- see, well killed a few persons. On their return to the nation they found that
 war had not actually broken out The
 Coosada Indian, Capt. Sam Isaacs Ca name that he borrowed from an old
 
 coin county, Tennessee, and who was one of the most cunning, artful scamps ever saw among the Indians), gave the Big Warrior information about the mus- ders in Tennessee. Captain Isaacs, from his tricks and management, and having Alexander McGillivrays daughter for 8
 wife, was let out of the scrape; but the Little Warrior, being a Hickory Ground Indian, set the Coosa Indians at vari- ance with the Big Warrior. After this, the Tuckabatchies. -pask-ulgees or
 Road Indians, the Chunnanuggees and Conaligas all entered into an Indian f<t at Tuckabatchy, to defend themselves from those that had turned hostile. The Cowetaws, Cussetaws, Uchees Osurceeo, Hitchetas and the Lower Eufaulas, under
 Mcintosh Joe Marshall. Timpoochy Bar
 nard and some other Chattahoochee chiefs, went to their assistance. There was some skirmishing, though little dam 1 age done on either side. and the Tucka- batchies were carried to the Chattahoochee | and Flint rivers, where they remained until General Floyd came into the nation. 1 Many years previous to these sad days I in Alabama, a number of the Uchees | went north with the Shawnees really l Sowanokas), and soon after reaching 1 their new homes on the waters of the 1 Ohio river, they commenced their depre- dations on the frontier settlers of Vir- | ginia and Pennsylvania. In one of their expeditions they captured a white boy on the frontier of Pennsylvania, by the name of Hague; he was raised to man 1 hood among them, and proved to be as 1 great a savage as any of them. His first l wife was a white woman named Girthy, | but they called her Girty. Their only l child, son, they named Simon Girty,
 after his mother, the custom among the
 Indians. This boy, Simon Girty, was
 reared about Detroit, Mich. His name is 1 very conspicuous in American history, as
 having contributed much to the defeat 1 of General St. Clair; as also did man i by the name of Wells. I personally knew | four white men who were with General l St Clair, in the battle, and who knew I Simon Girty and were known to many
