Chief Tishomingo

Chief Tishomingo was one of the last full-blooded Chickasaw Chiefs. Tishomingo was born in approximately 1734 in what is now Lee County, Mississippi. He served with General Anthony Wayne against Shawnee Native Americans in the Northwest Territory and received a silver medal from president George Washington. During the War of 1812 he served under Andrew Jackson. After his service in the military, he retired to become a farmer until white settlers came onto his land. In 1837, a final treaty forced them to move to the Indian Territory. On May 5, 1838, Chief Tishomingo died near present-day Little Rock, Arkansas. Tishomingo County, Mississippi, Tishomingo, Mississippi, and Tishomingo State Park are named after Tishomingo. Tishomingo, Oklahoma is named after him and is in the area of the former Indian Territory, to which the Chickasaw were forced to move.^[1]
