Troup (1823-1827) wherein Ware reports that white settlers in the area of Fayette County are encroaching on Indian lands and committing depredations. In particular, Ware claims that the settlers are stealing the property of the late Creek leader, General William McIntosh, and other "friendly" Indians. He has also received reports indicating that the citizens of DeKalb County are committing depredations against the Indians (probably Creeks) at the head of the Tallapoosa River. Ware urges Troup to put a stop to these activities. Document ID: tcc485.
