In Response To: Re: Indians in the Civil War ()

It is not known who Ambrose's mother is. My uncle has papers stating that Nittucachee is the father of Ambrose Williams. It is reported that Ambrose was born in 1837. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was signed in 1830 by Nittucachee NOT Ambrose because he wasn't born yet. It is NOT true that Ambrose and Nittucachee were the same person. Ambrose was his son. It is reported on the census that Ambrose and his siblings, Jimmy and Sarah, lived with George and Mary Chamness. We believe that Mary was his mother and that after Nittucachee died she met George and they married. So Sarah Williams was Ambrose's sister and he also had a daughter named Sarah Williams, but Sarah Williams was not his mother. John T. Williams is also the son of Ambrose, but he was known to be a liar and a crook. He may have been the reason that the story was contorted because he was looking for land.

Hope this helps,
