Daniel Newnan McIntosh (1822 - 1896), often identified as D. N. McIntosh, was a Creek rancher, soldier and politician, the youngest son of Creek Chief William McIntosh (1790-1825). He was a member of one of the most influential Lower Creek families of the 19th century; after they migrated west in 1828, they continued as leaders of what was then called the Western Creek Nation. During the American Civil War, D.N. McIntosh organized a regiment and joined the Confederate States Army as a colonel. He was notable for recruiting and organizing the 1st Creek Mounted Volunteers and for leading them in several battles in Indian Territory. After the war, he continued as a farmer and rancher. ==Early years== According to one source, Daniel Newnan McIntosh, known as D.N., was born near Newnan, Georgia.〔( Access Genealogy. "Biography of Colonel D. N. McIntosh." ) Retrieved January 22, 2014.〕 However, Meserve wrote that D. N. was born September 20, 1822 at Indian Springs, Georgia.〔( Meserve, John Bartlett. "The MacIntoshes." In: ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''. Volume 10, No. 3. September, 1932 ) Retrieved January 26, 2014.〕 He was the youngest son of William McIntosh, a prominent Creek chief of the Lower Towns, and his second wife Susannah Rowe〔(Charles A. Steger, "Rebecca McIntosh Hawkins Hagerty: The Richest Woman in Texas" ), ''Texas State Genealogical Society Quarterly, Stirpes'', September 2007, accessed 17 November 2014〕 (also referred to as Ree).〔("A Guide to the Rebecca McIntosh Hawkins Hagerty Papers: Biographical Note" ), Rebecca McIntosh Hawkins Hagerty Papers, (1823-1901), 1974, 1991, Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin〕 Daniel was about 22 years younger than his elder half-brother, Chillicothe (known as Chilly), who was the eldest child of William and his first wife Susannah Coe.〔Monaghan, Jay. "Slaveholding Indians Declare War." In: ''Civil War on the Western Border, 1854-1865.'' (1955). p. 219. Available on Google Books.()〕 McIntosh also had several daughters by his wives. After his father was executed by order of the Creek National Council in 1825 for having ceded communal Creek territory to the United States in violation of tribal law, the surviving members of the family moved to Indian Territory in 1828, where they settled on the Verdigris River. They established what was known as the Western Creek Nation for some time. Daniel was sent back East to be educated at Smith's Institute in Kentucky until 1841.〔 D. N. later moved to a site near the community of Fame, in what is now McIntosh County, Oklahoma. He developed a farm and also raised cattle. In 1850, D. N. McIntosh was licensed as a Baptist preacher.〔(Roland Hinds, "Early Creek Missions.", ''Chronicles of Oklahoma,'' Volume 17, Number1.
