Me, too ... Based on other reading, I have been associating Upper Creeks with modern-day Alabama, at least since statehood. If this is not a correct understanding, set me straight.

Thanks, Richard T. gmw The Upper Creeks were originally based in NW Georgia, but moved down stream in response to European diseases, and English sponsored slave raids. The Cherokee Trail of Tears (removal) was in the summer of 1838. There were numerous Upper Creek villages along the western edge of Northwest Georgia that never left when the Cherokees poured in after the American Revolution. The boundary between the Creeks and Cherokees set by the British was not the same as the Alabama-Georgia boundary. Richard T. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
