bullet  General Notes:

NOTES:
She was the granddaughter of Captain Jean Baptiste Louis DeCourtel Marchand, French commander of Fort Toulouse in Alabama; and Sehoy I, Indian princess of the prestigious Wind Clan (Hutalgalgi), the highest ranking tribe of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Her father was Lachlan McGillivray (of the Clan MacGillivray Chiefs Lineage, part of the Clan Chattan Confederation of the Scottish Highland) who migrated to the Colonies and became a wealthy fur trader and planter in Georgia.

Her brother was Alexander McGillivray who became Chief of the Upper Creek (Muscogee) Indians, one of the most powerful and historically important Native American chiefs among the Creek of the Southeast.

Her uncle was Red Shoes (Muskogean Chief), Indian Chief of the Wind Clan (Hutalgalgi) of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Two of her maternal nephews, William "Red Eagle" Weatherford and William "White Warrior" McIntosh, who were also born into the powerful Creek Wind Clan ("Hutalgalgi"), became the most important Muscogee leaders in the early 19th century, and fought on opposing sides of the Creek War (1813-1814).
