Chief William McIntosh ( known as Tustunnuggee Hutke of the Muscogee Creek Nation ) was born in 1775 to a white Revolutionary War British Loyalist father, William Mcintosh, and a Muscogee Wind Clan ( Hota’lga’lgi ) mother, Senoya ( Senoy or Senoia ), in the town of Coweta in the present day state of Georgia. His mother’s position in the Nation earned him the status of White Warrior. His successful lineage on both sides, as his father was connected to prominent families in Savannah, and it was thought his grandmother was a sister of a wealthy fur trader, this would allow him to prosper. William became a large scale farmer and ran a commercial ship company, and went as far to even establish an inn in Coweta. Though despite his accomplishments among the Nation, White Warrior would go on to eventually break Creek law, signing the Treaty of Indian Springs in 1825, which seceded a lot of the remaining Muscogee Nation land to the United States. This was a crime not left unpunished, and for the first time ever a member of their own Nation was sentenced to death for crimes against the Nation, as he and a majority of the other signers were executed. He died on April 30th, 1825 in Carroll County, Georgia. Over his lifetime he had three wives, and at least nine documented children.
John T. Bowen was an Englishman who emigrated to the United States in 1834. He began working as a colorist and lithographer in New York City. Four years later he would transfer to Philadelphia to help work on the book “The History of the Indian Tribes of North America”. Following this he would go on to buy a print shop on Walnut Street, and would push to become the main colorist and printer in Philadelphia. This was accomplished, Bowen would publish numerous books and folios, such as “The Views of Philadelphia” and “Log Cabin Politicians”, and would even help engrave and color some of John James Audubon’s works for both “Birds of America” and “Viviparous Quadrupeds”. Bowen passed away around 1856, and his artist wife Lavinia would continue his printing work for some considerable time after his passing.
