Narrative
1/4 Creek
Leader of the Red Sticks during the second Creek War
After the terrible defeat at Horseshoe Bend in 1814, Red Eagle goes to Ft. Jackson (formerly Ft. Toulouse), and surrendered to General Andrew Jackson. Jackson, filled with sympathy and admiration for the noble chief, takes Red Eagle home to Nashville, TN. According to Dr. Marion Elisha Tarvin, William's half brother, David Tate, (Tarvin's grandfather) was the only man in Alabama who knew where Weatherford was during his stay at the Hermitage. (See "native" [http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=native&id=I11648] for more on this juicy tale.)
