Check out the map (click on the link below) and the next page (after you click the link), its where I'm from, Mogalusha. The trail from "beloved waters" to Mogalusha Town runs through my families original farm(s). Also, the spot where Tecumseh spoke in Mogalusha i.e. Muckalush was owned by Colonel Wilson and my Uncle Olen married Mittie Wilson a generation or two later. The place Tecumseh spoke was back to the north and east just a bit from their farm. Talashua (Tal-lash-shee) creek starts up here and this was where the largest town of the Choctaw Nation was. It is just above the present day town of House, Mississippi. There is a line of hills that runs from here almost to or maybe a little past the border with Newton County. All my paternal relatives live in this area. And some of our ancestors were always here, and climbed out of Nanih Waiya Cave (see image below) and became the people of this land before there were any other people in this land.
