   [1]Tomorrow:
   April 30

   1812: LA,

   1825: Wm. McIntosh d.,
   [2]Creek  chieftain  William  McIntosh  died  at  his plantation home,
   Lockchau  Talofau,  in  what  is  now  Carroll  County, Georgia. [Some
   sources  -- such as the Dictionary of Georgia Biography -- incorrectly
   cite  May 1 as the date of his death.] McIntosh was the son of a Creek
   Indian  mother  and  a  Tory officer father. Through his father he was
   related  to  several  notable  Georgia officials, including his cousin
   George  Troup,  governor from 1823-1827. But the Creeks traced lineage
   through  the  mother;  thus  McIntosh  became  a chief among the Lower
   Creeks,  who  lived  near and interacted more with whites than did the
   Upper  Creeks,  who lived along the Alabama, Tallapoosa, and and Coosa
   Rivers.
