Margy & Patrick, thank you. You confirm something I found later. The Thomas Cross that I am looking for served under both Andrew Hamilton and Nash. It's a timing thing that is also a surprise because Thomas was discharged from Hamilton's company in Pendleton five months after the start of the Horseshoe Bend conflict and joined Hamilton something like three months earlier. Dennis PS No libraries where I am. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick [mailto:Patrick20@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:02 AM To: Dennis Dover; WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Unit History Dennis, Margy's answer covered a lot of good ground. Captain Andrew Hamilton served under Lt. Colonel Reuben Nash and Nash's Regiment did serve in the Creek War. In a number of write ups on Jackson's troops that fought in the "Tohopeka" or Horseshoe Bend battle, numerous references are made to Jackson's Cherokee troops, but I have found no comment as to where they were from. The Cherokee's were from North & South Carolina, Tennessee, (where Jackson's troops were from), North Georgia, and Northern Alabama. The comments also made about this battle is that the majority of troops were from Tennessee and Georgia, which neither proves or disproves Andrew Hamilton's involvement. Looks like you may have some library work ahead of you, unless someone out there has an answer or has already done some heavy CMSR and Pension work.
