Creek Indian Memorial, Russell County, Alabama

View from the Creek Memorial

We invite you to take a walk with us!! After Toy provided us with the photos of the Creek Memorial, Dennis and I remembered we had taken this same walk a few years ago.  This site is so beautiful and peaceful, if you are ever in Russell County, Alabama, near Fort Mitchell, you should really take the time and visit.  The site is located on top of a hill, but it is a gentle walk with areas to stop and rest.  With the heat and humidity in Alabama, I would plan to visit in the spring!!

Creek Indian Wars

The Creek Indians, who had been allies of the British during the War of 1812, were angered by white encroachment on their hunting grounds in Georgia and Alabama. In 1813, some Creeks under Chief Red Eagle (William Weatherford) (1780-1824) attacked and burned Fort Mims on the lower Alabama River, killing about 500 whites [the Fort Mims Massacre]. Afterward, US militiamen, led by General Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), invaded Creek territory in central Alabama and destroyed two Indian villages, Talladega and Tallasahatchee, in the fall of 1813. Jackson pursued the Creek, and on March 27, 1814, his 3,000 man army attacked and … Read more

Alabama Civil War Rosters

The Civil War not only divided the country from North to South, many families were divided in the same way.  These ancestors didn’t have the means we have now to communicate with each other, letters took many days. Unfortunately many of our ancestors met on the field of battle not knowing the other was there. When you are using the links you will often find a different county listed in the one you are searching.  Many of these families moved around during the war and often were not in the original county of residence.  Many of the soldiers were buried … Read more

Alabama War of 1812 Pensions

Pension application files for most War of 1812 veterans, however, will be found in the second series of pension files, i.e., those based on the acts of 1871 and 1878. These acts, based on length of service alone, relate mostly to militia veterans called to federal service. The 1871 act provided pensions to veterans who had served at least sixty days or to their widows if they had married before 1815. The 1878 act provided pensions to those veterans, or their widows, who only served fourteen days. By the time these acts were passed, most applicants were widows or minors … Read more

Alabama War of 1812 Military Records

On June 1, 1812, President James Madison gave a speech to the U.S. Congress, recounting American grievances against Great Britain, though not specifically calling for a declaration of war. After Madison’s speech, the House of Representatives quickly voted (79 to 49) to declare war, and the Senate by 19 to 13. The conflict formally began on June 18, 1812 when Madison signed the measure into law. This was the first time that the United States had declared war on another nation, and the Congressional vote would prove to be the closest vote to declare war in American history. None of … Read more
