INDIAN SUBJECT
flefore the white man came and be
gan to clear and civilize this part of
Georgia, there livid here a noble race
of people known as Indians. T hey, of
coarse, had names for persons, places
and streams. We shall endeavor to
give a few of them as we have heard
them from hearsay anil history:
Tishina uga— Mulberry river.
Ipsequilto—Cedar Creek.
Appa iachee —the sa me.
Tanrulaboule —Beech < 'reek.
Talnpahoo —A creek near Tyro school
house.

farm.
Fort Yargo—-Near Carter Hill school
still standing.
Sfloquot, Elitobay, Camas tooka, No
vuark— Indians who lived at Fort Yaf
go.
Modiu, ids wife Nyrulyn, and four
children, Nora Sura, Mora Notha, Ne
va, und Adra Axter, were Indians who
lived at Snodon (Winder).
Inomatuhataga lived on Pea Ridge.
Inomatawsinga lived near Statham,
at Green Arnold's old mill site.
Oklogee lived on l’riee Mountain
near County Line.
Tullassee lived near Prospect church
on the road from Tullassee bridge to
Alliens
These four sigped a treaty that gave
to Jackson county the “Wofford settle
ment”
Inomatuhata and Inomatawsinga
were brothers and descendants of Mis
penth and Queen Lutliro (Moon Spirit)
Umasnugn, an Indian chief, who sold
to Richard Easley, Abednego Moore
and Johnson J Strong an angle of land
thus described: Beginning at I’ 11.
Smith's, known as Calamit, following
the Monroe and Jefferson road to at
one time liocky Ford a half mile north
of Tyro school, thence westerly to Ce
dar Crook church on Hog Mountain
road, thence along said road to the be
ginning. The consideration was a
string of beads, therefore, it is called
by some headland.
In the year 171)3, Alonio Draper,
Herman Scupen and Homer Jackson
moved from Tallassee to Snodon (Win
der). These people found only one fam
ily living in this deserted town, his
name being Modin and Ills wife Nyru
lyn. This couple had two daughters,
Morn, nicknamed Bluebird, and Nera
Nara. Tills girl was admired by an
Indian, Watleskew by name, and he
talked love while she would not. He
killed her on the flat rock near the
present school building in Winder.
Watleskew was caught at Thoinoco
giu (Jefferson), slain and brought back
to Node roc and thrown in the mud vol
cano. Nera was buried near the old
cemetery at the school building.
Nera Xara was the sweetheart of
Vnmsaugua This man was born on
the Chattahoochee near Columbus, Ga.,
His father was Okokobee ami his moth
er was a Muscogee princess by name,
Klota He had one sister, Eltomura,
and one brother, Etohautee,
I'mausiigua found a girl on a battle
field, ral*Hi her, and called her Hanna
the Beautiful. She was the daughter
of Mardevedo, of Spain, and Elancydue
an orphan. In after years Banna and
Johnson J. Strong plighted eternal
friendship and love on the same flat
rock where her sister was killed.
. The home of Modln was near the Dr.
4htwnders old home? This couple had
two boys as well as two girls, the boys
were Notha Neva and Adra Alter. This
last named boy was stolen by the Cher
okee Indians at three years of age aud
was not heard from until grown. He
was employed by Governor Mathews.
Jk year before Jackson comity was cre
ated. Governor Mathews stopped in
.Huudoti. took dinner with the Modlu
family aud was fed turkey. The In
dians give him several turkeys. He
could not tnke them with him. but
promised to send a handsome Indian
lad for them, and warned Mern, telling
her she would fall in love with him.
The lad came and proved to be the long
lost boy, Adra Aster.
Tlu* mother of those four children.
Myrul.ru, was a granddaughter of
So'hey. a full-blooded Creek woman.
The grandfather was Mischance, of
the French army. Myrulyn was a
niece of Alexander McGlUrray, and a
lineal descendant of latehlan McGill
vray Mem and I>r. George Singleton
became very much attached to each
other, hut there is no proof that they
evor married.
Other Indian names that we find at
that time were the following.
Quakow, an Indian lad who lived
at Hnodon, and Hirnaco, a Cherokee
S,> Wauto. an Indian, who stole two girls
on the east side of Jackson county.

tried to make love to Banna the Beau
tiful and was killed at Calamit (P. R.
Smith's) by Tata Nyxter, an Indian lad
from ambush. Yrtyrmyrisoo was a
leader of the Bohuron tribe.
Lapsidali, an Indian squaw lived
with her brother, Omonaco on the Tar
exulaboule (Beech Creek). They were
basket makers and built them a hut of
bark twigs and mud near the creek
where they could more easily get ma
terial for their baskets.

the Indians for lands which now form
a part of Georgia we find from the Tal
lassee section these names:
Inomatuhata —Fat King.
Inomatawtusinga—Top War King.
Okolega—Mad Fish.
Alaehngo—Tallassee King.
Hiteheto —Cusa King.
