Homathlemico

Homathlemico (died April 8, 1818) was a chief of the Muscogee people who once lived at Autussee in what is now Alabama in North America.[1] Along with Hillis Hadjo (Francis the Prophet), he was decoyed to shore and captured near St. Marks, East Florida by an American naval ship flying a British flag during what is now known as the First Seminole War.[2] Five days later, Homathlemico was summarily executed by hanging at Fort San Marcos de Apalache by order of U.S. Army major-general and future president Andrew Jackson.[2] Jackson claimed that Homathlemico had led the party responsible for the Scott massacre,[3] although there was no due process or trial on these charges before he was executed for his alleged crimes.[4]
