Captain William McIntosh

Captain William McIntosh, an officer in the British army stationed in the Creek country, married two Indian women, and their sons William and Roderick became chiefs among the Creeks. He was buried in 1794 in this plot under the “Great Oak at Mallow Plantation.” William McIntosh, later known as General William McIntosh, was killed by his own people on May 1, 1825, for signing the Treaty of Indian Springs. Later his sons and his half-brother Roderick (Roley) led the great Creek trek to Old Indian Territory, and they and their descendants became distinguished lawyers, ministers, statesmen, artists, and soldiers who were noted leaders in the building of the West.
