I represent Emistisiguo. I wan a headman of the Upper Creeks, from Little Tallassee. I was a patron and mentor to Lachlan McGillivray, father of Alexander. I helped Alexander get to know the towns and people of the Creek nation. I attended the Congress of October 29, 1771 in Pensacola among the “ruling chiefs and principal warriors” of sixteen towns of the Upper Creeks. In response to a request from the British to grant them the land on either side of the Escambia River, I reminded them of previous promises made that the boundary between colonial and Indian lands would be inviolable; and that all Creeks had equal property rights and no decision could be made without the consent of the entire nation. The Congress concluded without the Creeks granting the requested land. At later meetings at which I complained that the British were routinely violating their promises to respect the boundaries of Creek lands, I lamented, “I am now far advanced in life and this is the first time I ever saw plantations settled in my nation.” When Gen. Campbell called for help from Indian allies to defend the Gulf Coast against the Spanish, I and Alexander McGillivray sent hundreds of Creek warriors to defend Pensacola, and to disrupt Spanish communications and supply lines. I also led a force against the American armies to relieve Savannah and was killed there. After my death, Alexander McGillivray took my place as headman.
