From William C. Bell:
Inns along the Federal Road ???
Alabama Historical Quarterly, Volume Seventeen - 1955
page 83, 85, 86 Sam Manack's House on Pinchona, Montgomery
County; 1803-1816, at the old Federal Road crossing. Here was born
David Moniac (Manack), first Indian appointed to the United States
Military Academy; here was entertained Peggy and Lorenzo Dow,
and Aaron Burr, under arrest, was here in 1807. Mrs. Manack was
William Weatherford's mother-in law. [Note: actually she was William's
sister]
In John R. Swanton's "Early History of the Creek Indians
and their Neighbors" (Smithsonian Institute, Bureau of American Ethnology,
Bulletin 73, Washington Government Printing Office, 1922): "The people
of Tuskogee have some cattle, and a fine stock of hogs, more perhaps
than any town of the nation. One man Sam Macnack [Sam Moniack],
a half-breed, has a fine stock of cattle. He had, in 1799, one hundred and
eighty calves. They have lost their language, and speak Creek, and
have adopted the customs aand manners of the Creeks. They have thirty-five
gun men."
Read his deposition
of his realization of the impending Creek War, given to Judge
Harry Toulmin.
Went to New York with Alexander McGillivray in 1790 and

Samuel Manac to the treasury dept..
Washington May 1816
" In August, 1816, I was commanding officer at the town of Mobile
when the massacre of Fort Mimms took place. Soon afterwards, many
of the citizens from the waters of Mobile fled to Fort Charlotte
for protection; amongst them was Samuel Manac, his wife and children,
who had, sometime before, been driven =nfrom the Nation where he
resided. It was the universal opinion and belief at Mobile, that
Sam Manac was an Indian, of large property, and that he had lost it
all,or nearly all, by his fidelity to the United States. While
Manac remained in Mobile, he and his family were subsisted by
issuing rations to them: they having no other means of support.
