Chilly McIntosh
Chilly McIntosh (1800–1875) was an important figure in the history of the Creek Nation. Born in Georgia to William McIntosh, chief of the Lower Creeks and his wife Eliza, he was the half-brother of D. N. McIntosh and the nephew of Roley McIntosh, another Creek chief.〔(Jon D. May.

==Sales of Georgia lands==
Like his father, Chilly signed the Treaty of Indian Springs on January 8, 1821, which sold the land claimed by the Creeks in the state of Georgia. This was Chief William's last act in a series of treaties which ultimately divested the Creeks of their lands. It was specifically illegal, based on a Creek law passed in 1824. Although William was chief only of the Lower Creeks, he had presumed to act as representative of the entire Creek Nation, angering the Upper Creeks and their chief, Menewa. A delegation of Upper Creeks had warned William that such an act would be punishable by death. William committed the act anyway, so after a trial judged William guilty ''in absentia'', Menewa sent a hundred lighthorsemen to carry out the execution. Not only was William killed, but his house was burned. Chilly, however, escaped and fled to safety. Meserve wrote that Chilly lived for several years among the Cherokees.〔(Meserve, John Bartlett, "The McIntoshes," ''Chronicles of Oklahoma'', Volume 10, Number 3, September, 1932. ) Accessed August 12, 2015.〕
Chilly had reason to fear for his safety. The National Archives contains a letter he wrote, dated May 17, 1825, to the U.S. Secretary of War, requesting protection from "a party of hostile indians as was promised by the commissioners at the treaty of the Indian Springs when we ceded our lands to the United States."〔("Letter from Chilly McIntosh to James Barbour, the Secretary of War, requesting protection against the hostile Creek party who killed his father, William McIntosh, the chief of the Lower Creeks." May 17, 1825. National Archives Identifier 300334, Record Group 75: Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1793 – 1999. ) Accessed August 13, 2015.〕
