The White Warrior
Q. do you have a the story of the white worrior nd bloddy marry and do you have any pictures opf them? thank you.
A. Called Tustunnugee Hutkee (White Warrior), William McIntosh was the son of Captain William McIntosh, a member of a prominent Savannah, Georgia family sent into the Creek Nation to recruit them to fight for the British during the Revolutionary War. His mother, a Creek named Senoya, was a member of the prominent Wind Clan. Raised as an Indian, he never knew his father who. Because among the Creeks, descent was determined through one's mother; the fact that his father was white was of little importance to the Creeks.
The White Warrior Led General Andrew Jackson's Indian troops during the Creek Indian War of 1813 - 1814, during which the Upper Creeks were defeated. For his services at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend and elsewhere, he was commissioned a brigadier general in the United States Army. He also fought in a civil war between the Upper and Lower Creek Indians.
After the Creek Indian War, McIntosh built a plantation on the Chattahoochee River Lockchau Talofau (Acorn Bluff) that was worked by 72 slaves. (It is near Whitesburg and is today maintained as a park by Carroll County. This is the area said to me haunted my the White Warrior)

Even though the Upper Creeks had vowed to kill anyone who signed away any more Indian land, On February 12, 1825 McIntosh, signed the Treaty of Indian Springs; giving all the Creek's land in georgia to yhe government in exchange for $400,000. SOme people say he did it because it was in the best interests of the Creek Nation. Others say it was just for the money.
Despite Governor Troup's promise to protect him, on April 30th about 200 Creeks set fire to McIntosh's plantation and killed him.
McIntosh's home served as an inn and tavern on the Federal Road where it crossed the Chattahoochee, and because the River was then above its banks, some travelers had decided to spend the night there, hoping the waters would recede. Thus, there were several witness to the terrible events that took place there besides McIntosh's family.
Just before daybreak, a party of Upper Creeks set fire to an outbuilding in order to light up the yard so as to prevent anyone from escaping. They called to the white guests and women to come out, saying they would come to no harm. McIntosh's son Chilly and another mixed-blood escaped from an outbuilding they were sleeping in because there wasn't room for everybody in the main house.
Shot
in the front doorway of his home, McIntosh managed to climb the stairs
to the second floor, from which he began shooting at his assailants. Forced
to leave when they set fire to the house, he was shot and dragged some
distance from the house. Raising himself on an elbow, he gave them a defiant
look as he was stabbed in the heart. An eyewitness estimated that his corpse
was shot about 50 times.

Mary Queen of Scots
Mary Tudor
The Bloody Mary, or Mary Worth scare-story will usually begin with the details of a woman named Mary who was horribly disfigured and / or killed in an accident. Her tormented spirit can be summoned, the story claims, by standing in front of a mirror and chanting her name a prescribed number of times (sometimes 3, 5, 9, 13 times and so on). When you have spoken her name for the 3rd (or 5th or 9th...) time you will either see her terrible face in the mirror (and die of fright etc) or she will appear from the mirror and claw your face. In some variants no candles or chant are necessary. In these Bloody Mary is said to be able to attack you if you simply walk by a mirror in complete darkness.
The name
Bloody Mary was linked to a number of other people, including a historical
Bloody Mary Queen Mary Tudor of England, Mary Queen of Scots (probably
mostly due to confusion with the other queen), the Virgin Mary (in these
cases she generally does not display any menacing qualities), Mary Magdalene,
a witch burned at the stake, an axe murderer, a child killer and "the crazy
woman who lived down the street," among others. Mary Worth is the most
common name used when talking about Bloody Mary.
