Thanks to Chris Clark. Please contact Chris if you have information on the Mad Dog lines.
Mad Dog aka Fahiko aka Efua Haujo
LifeNotes: After Alexander McGillivray died in 1793, the mantle leadership of the Creek Nation mainly went to Mad Dog ("Fahiko") of Tuckabatche, who while friendly to the Americans, hated the Chickasaw Indians and waged a two year war against them in the early 19th century.
Louis Milfort, a French trader who had unsuccessfully sought the mantle of leadership won by Mad Dog, once called the chief "a thorough-going rascal". Mad Dog remained chief of the Upper Creeks until 1802, when because of his advanced age, gave up his role.

LITTLE PRINCE MAD- FAR- OFF-WARRIOR
aka BIRD
TAIL KING
and HANNAH
HALE
Little Prince Mad Far-Off-Warrior aka Bird Tail King
LifeNotes: See Chris Clark's piece on Far Off Warrior
Here is an excerpt form Chris's piece on Far Off Warrior:
In 1777, Hopoie Haujo, the Far Off Warrior of the Fish Ponds, and his father, Mad Dog of Tuckabatchee, led an attack on Fort Roger's which was on the Ogeechee River in present-day Taliaferro County, Georgia. This was apparently the vengeance taken for the death of the head warrior of the Tiger clan and nephew of Ishenpoaphe. In the ensuing attack on the fort, the indians captured a young girl named Hannah Hale, who was about 11 or 12 years old. She was taken to the Far Off Warrior's village known by trader's as the "Fish Ponds" and located on the Coosa River situated in present-day Coosa County, Alabama. Hannah Hale would later marry the Far Off Warrior, Hopoie Haujo, and by him have five children.

Chris Clark shares this with us:
In his book "Sketch of the Creek Country", Benjamin Hawkins writes this concerning Hannah Hale and the village Laloakalka, commonly called the Fish Ponds, where she lived: "Hannah Hale resides here. She was taken a prisoner from Georgia, when about eleven or twelve years old, and married the head man of this town, by whom she has five children. This woman spins and weaves, and has taught two of her daughters to spin; she has labored under many difficulties; yet by her industry has acquired some property. She has one negro boy, a horse or two, sixty cattle, and some hogs; she received the friendly attention of the agent for Indian affairs, as soon as he came in the nation. He furnished her with a wheel, loom, and cards; she has an orchard of peach and apple trees. Having made her election at the national council, in 1799, to reside in the nation, the agent appointed Hopoithle Haujo to look out for a suitable place for her, to help her to remove to it with her stock, and take care that she receives no insults from the Indians."

LifeNotes: Mixed blood. Half-brother of Sam Moniac. Cousin of Tecumseh, the Shawnee chief. Was part of Fort Mims raiding party. Was a Redstick leader during the uprisings of 1812-1814. Josiah was known to the Americans as the Creek "Prophet", a title apparently plaglarized form the Shawnee prophet, Seekaboo, brother of Tecumseh.
Josiah joined Peter McQueen and other Redstick leaders in fleeing from the Creek country following the defeat at Horseshoe Bend, and in 1816 visited England, where he was commissioned a brigadier
His family was among the two hundred Seminoles who surrendered to Jackson at Fort Gadsden in August, 1818. Miles Weekly Register, reporting on the surrender of the Seminoles in its December 12,1818, issue, noted that "the wife and family of the Prophet are among the prisoners; two of his daughters are very interesting young ladies ... the youngest and most beautiful is caressed by all the officers for having saved the life of a Georgia militia man" (see below).
