Dear Virginia, I am doing some research on the 1836-37 Creek Indian War and came across your 2001 letter in the GA-ROOTS-L Archives. How delighted I am to see a letter with your current e-mail address on this List! Family history says that my g.g. grandfather, "SAMUEL TURMAN and his family moved from Elbert Co, GA. to Harris Co, GA, a little previous to 1836 or 37, when he volunteered in the Creek Indian War. He died from bilious fever contracted in that war." I was thrilled to come across your helpful 2001 reference to Christopher Kimball's information: (http://www.geocities.com/flaterritory/9805.html It sounds exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately, it appears to no longer be accessible. Did you perhaps copy the history and time line and if so could you please share it with me? I would be so grateful if you or anyone on the List could help me !!! The name: Hardeman rings a bell, But I think that my recollection has to do with my great grandfather from GA: James Merriman ALSTON'S involvement in the Civil War. I will have a look. Perhaps we can exchange some information.

Do any of you have pension applications/war records for your Georgia Ancestors who fought in this "brief" war (not to be confused with the earlier 1813 Creek War)? I'd like to try to put together some Rosters and companies....and since I can't get to Atlanta to the Archives for the microfilm, I thought perhaps we could just start and build the list a few men at a time. My g-grandfather earned two land warrants and later a pension based on this service....which was only about 3 months. He fought : Capt Alexander Russell Regiment commanded by Robert V. Hardeman Joined at Columbus, GA and was discharged from Camp Georgia, Alabama. Virginia
