The Creek War is something I know little about so we all my learn something new together. I was asked the other day if I had a list of Federal Government men that fright in the war. Will I took it that they were talking about the United States Government which wasn’t around till the end of the Revolutionary War. That would mean the next Creek war between the United states would have been around 1814, but as I wasn’t given a time line it could have been even later? Like I said I know little about this war So I will put all I have here in the hope it well help some one, as I know there are family’s looking for a ancestor that was in that war in some way. There may be more information on a name placed here so if you see a name and would like to know if there is more, you can find my address in my profile, I will be glad to hear from you.
Note. This information will come from the Library of Congress.
