Brad, If you purchased a house from Curtis Adams on the south side of Hwy. 80, I think I know exactly where you are located and you are indeed near the battle field. The battle field was about 1/2 mile east of your property. It was near where Hwy. 49 Junc Hwy. 80 but on the north side of Hwy. 80.

1. The Creek War did not begin with the attack on Ft. Mims. It began on July 27, 1813, with the battle of Burnt Corn Creek.
2. The story lists High Head Jim as being among 70 bodies found on the field after the battle of Calebee. High Head lived into the early 1850’s, serving as one of the commanders of friendly Creek troops during the Second Seminole War (1836-37). He died in Indian Territory, present Oklahoma.
