    1. [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Old Indian family names in NW Georgia
    2. The Adair family is also prominent among the Oklahoma Cherokees and Oklahoma Creeks. Yes, they are direct descendants of James Adair, who wrote the famous book on American Indians in 1776. There are many, many families with Cherokee and Creek heritage in this part of Georgia (NW and North Central Mountains). A client of mine just left the house, who is descended from Creeks, who lived among the Cherokees, but escaped to the mountains when the soldiers showed up. For those who are interested ...both the city of Adairsville, GA and the Vann State Historic Site have nice web sites that discuss the Native American history of northwest Georgia. The Chief Vann House is one of the finest plantations in Georgia. It was built by Cherokee and Moravian craftsmen in 1805. I did the architecture work on the restoration of the 1847 Adairsville Rail Depot, which is pictured in the Adairsville web site. It is where the locomotive Texas began to go after the locomotive General in the Great Locomotive Chase of the Civil War. - a famous Walt Disney movie.
