I'd like to see us put more rosters on-line for the Creek Indian War of
1836....
Do you have any rosters on your site.....or do you as an individual have
pension/war records for anyone?
If you can identify the Captain and his full name for your county....that
would help too!
I figure every young, unmarried male in these counties was probably a part
of this war.
This is an outline to get us started with the Creek War companies....
If you have any papers indicating the company/captain your ancestor served
in, please type it up and share it.
