Because of the difficulty reformatting word text to html or whatever the snag is... I am providing links to sections of The Creek War. Note the sources of information, and great effort to consult direct witnesses or their families, and the objectivity utilized by the author. Also, I would again reinforce that many, if not the majority, of these initial battles were between mixed-blood families. I will be utilizing oral information from various Keen family members descended primarily from Zacharrah's sons Joseph and Josiah as we go along. Joseph and Josiah will again enter the story quite soon after the Fort Mims incident. Zacharrah and Bushpo Homa are ahead of the older boys and the children. Several of the older boys being involved in the Creek War. And noting possibility of two Bushpo Homa's as mentioned in a previous posts. Noting Keen family information identifies Bushpo Homa as later anglicizing the name to "Bush Home" or "Ms Bush", and as a female, being the wife of Zacharrah Keen. A bit later when I go over other information regarding land, etc. and in comparison with previous information from the Armstrong Rolls, associations with the Irish Rush family i.e. and the Rush's involvement with Tucker, Holy Rosary Church, etc., as well as dynamics in relationship to the Keen family, etc. It gets rather interesting, noting some names will not be utilized to forestall old Southern animosities before they present themselves.
