(2013) Creek Indian Globetrotter: Tomochichi’s Trans-Atlantic Quest for Traditional Power in the Colonial Southeast. Ethnohistory, 60(4), 605-635. DOI: DOI 10.1215/00141801- 23133849 Made available courtesy of The American Society for Ethnohistory and Duke University Press: http://ethnohistory.dukejournals.org/content/60/4/605.abstract ***Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Duke University Press. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: This essay reinterprets the life of a famous Muscogee Creek leader and examines the relationship between chiefly power and foreign travel in American Indian studies and Atlantic world studies. In spring 1734, the Creek headman Tomochichi and British imperialist James Edward Oglethorpe traveled to London to ratify a treaty that established the British colony of Georgia in the neighborhood of the Creek Confederacy. During his five-month sojourn, Tomochichi forged alliances with the Georgia trustees and the British royal family that resulted in a unique trans- Atlantic network of patronage. Upon return home, he leveraged his ocean-going imperial connections to craft an authoritative chieftainship that dated to the seventeenth-century Mississippian era. Keywords: history | ethnohistory | muscogee creek | chieftains | native american studies | atlantic world studies | Tomochichi Article: At the turn of the twentieth century, anthropologist John Reed Swanton recorded the origins of the Hitchiti Creeks, who spoke the Hitchiti dialect of the Muscogean (mus-KO-gee-an) language family.

  • Mary Musgrove: Beloved Woman of the Creeks
    National Park Service Fort Frederica U.S. Department of the Interior Fort Frederica National Monument St. Simons Island, GA Mary Musgrove: Beloved Woman of the Creeks Coosaponakeesa In 1700, Coosaponakeesa was born at Coweta on the Ocmulgee River. Her Muskogean- Creek name translates to “Lovely Fawn”, but to generations she is known by her Christian name Mary Musgrove. Her father was Edmund Griffen, a British Indian trader; her mother was the sister of the powerful Brim, Chief Mico (leader) of the Tuckabatchees or Lower Creek Indians, making “Lovely Fawn” an Indian Princess. When Mary was about sixteen years old she married an Indian trader, John Musgrove, whose surname she has become known by. From the two worlds Mary straddled, her talent as an interpreter was remarkable. Oglethorpe’s Interpreter In 1733 Oglethorpe and 116 emigrants set out to found the colony of Savannah. At Yamacraw Bluff, he solicited Mary Musgrove’s help as an interpreter for his meeting with the Yamacraw chief, Tomochichi. Oglethorpe realized that Mary could offer information and alliances he needed to secure British interests. Her services were hired at a salary of one hundred pounds sterling (about $500) per year. Mary assisted Oglethorpe in establishing treaties and in securing warriors to fight the Spanish. She supplied the struggling colonists with meat, bread, and liquor. When fighting broke out between the Spanish and British in 1742, Mary influenced the Creeks to aid the British forces, which led to the defeat of the Spanish on St. Simon’s Island. Marriage & Property Mary remarried twice after Musgrove’s death in 1735.
