By Dr. Marion Elisah Tarvin - 1893
Bienville planted a colony in Ala. in 1702 and founded the present city of Mobile in 1711. When the English began to explore the country and transport goods to all parts of it, they gave all the inhabitants the name of Creeks, from the many beautiful creeks and rivers flowing through the vast domain of the Muscogees. In 1714 Bienville erected Ft. Toulouse. One hundred years afterwards, General Jackson, on the same spot, established Ft. Jackson, now Tuskege, where the notorious Chief and warrior, William Weatherford, of the Creek Confederacy, voluntarily surrendered to General Jackson, on the same spot where his Grandmother Sehoy Marchand, the daughter of Captain Marchand, of Ft. Toulouse, was born, about 1722. Her father, it will be seen later on, was killed by his own soldiers. Her mother was of the Wind family, from whom the chief rulers were formerly chosen. Captain Marchand, the commandant of Ft. Toulouse, was married to Sehoy of the Wind family, about 1720. From this marriage they had one child, a daughter whom they named Sehoy. Capt. Marchand was killed by his own soldiers during an attack on him and his officers while at breakfast. They were afterwards shot to death. Lachlan McGillivray, a Scotch boy of sixteen summers, had read of the wonders of America. He ran away from his parents at Dunmanglass, Scotland, and took passage for Charleston, S.C., arriving there safely in 1735, with no property but a shilling in his pocket, a suit of clothes, a stout frame, an honest heart, a fearless disposition and cheerful spirits.

BIOGRAPHY:
Her kinsmen overtook the mutineers, who had murdered her husband in the mutiny at the fort in 1722. Her relatives of the Wind Clan assisted Captain Marchand's lieutenants in capturing and delivering the mutineers to the French headquarters in Mobile for their just punishment.
When Lachlan McGillivray, in search of a prominent Creek maiden to help cement his trading relations with the tribe, courted her daughter, Sehoy II, who first married Malcolm McPherson, it was Sehoy and the Wind Clan to whom he was required to appeal. When Lachlan wanted his natural son to receive an English education in South Carolina and Georgia, he required her permission. When Alexander returned to his mother's people after completing his education, his descent from the first Sehoy propelled him into the position of leadership that resulted in his succession to Upper Creek leadership to succeed Emestiseego as the Revolutionary War was drawing to a close.
