on which the name is printed.
On ChickasaWhatchee creek, near
this village are the breast works con-
structed by General Andrew Jackson,
while III camp on his historic march
to Florida. Another incident of this
march south is given by Mr.. L. NJ.
Jumper, Of PARROT We quote him YER
batum: when a small boy | heard
Mr.. A. B. Brown, former honorable
and well-to-do citizen OF Terrell coun-
ty. say that he was with General Jack
son. and told of the hardships Of NOV
ing small army through the wilder
ness. They crossed the Chenubee
creek at an Indian village by that
name. General Jackson drank water
from spring used by the Indians at
the foot of a white oak, where the
public road from Dawson to Parrot
now crosses the Chenubee creek. Some
of us are now living who remember
the spring and white oak, but progress
has destroyed both.
Old citizens of Chiackasawhatchee
village remember the venerable oak
that stood in the forks OF the DaW-
son, Observation-Disclosures and Herod
roads, under the Shade of which it
is said that Dr. Loverick Pierce at
one time gathered together the In
dams who hunted up and down the
Kinchafoonee and Chicakasawhatchee
creeks and preached the gospel to
them. The tribes at that time number
ed at least six hundred.
Herod, thriving inland village of
Terrell, bears the name of an Indian
settlement that was originally just
about one-half mile to the west of the
present village. This settlement was
named for an Indian chief Herod.
There seems to be some doubt as to
whether he was full blood Indian or
a half breed.
This original old "Herod Town" is
another historic site made memorable
by being one OF Jackson's stopping
places on his march southwark. In
the spring OF 1913 the Dorothy Wal
ton chapter, D. A. R., marked this
spot with an imposing granite boul-
