BIOGRAPHY: <From Willam Weatherford, His Country and His People by Lynn Hastie, 2nd printing, 2001; p941> "Buried with his mother on David Tate's brickyard plantation in Baldwin County. When Jackson became President he gave John 640 acres." "John Weatherford - In a letter written by Caroline Weatherford Killam on July 5, 1909, she stated that her grandfather, Charles Weatherford was a Scotchman who came to Georgia. He made his home close to the Cherokee Nation and raised race horses. "There about" he took a wife and raised his family. Caroline named two of his children: William Weatherford, the Indian chief, and John Weatherford, who was her father. Caroline stated that her mother's father "Dyer" was an Englishman. He also took an Indian bride and had a daughter, Martha. When Fort Mims was attacked, all of the Dyer family was killed except two. Martha, was quite small, and happened to be in Mobile with her married sister. Thus, Caroline's mother and her married sister were the only survivors. Martha Dyer soon afterward married John Weatherford in Monroe County, AL, where Caroline was born and raised. Her father died while she was still quite young. Caroline stated in her letter that William Weatherford fought with the Indians because his mother spoke the Indian tongue. All of her information was told to her by her mother."
