    (14) McNac, Aleck: Known by many names, depending upon who was spelling or pronouncing them. He was also known as McNay. Properly, he was Alexander Moniac. He was the son of an Indian mother and a Hollander father. His sister, Mary, was the first wife of William Weatherford. Though he had much pressure put upon him by High Head Jim and Josiah Francis to join the "Red Stick" cause, his loyalty for the most part was with the settlers. He was rewarded by having his son, David, honored as the first Indian to be accepted as a cadet at West Point. It was this son who commanded the Creeks against the Seminoles in 1836. Major David Moniac was killed during that war.
    (15) McQueen, Peter: Grandson of Sehoy Marchand (mother of Sehoy McGillivray) and the great-great-grandson of James McQueen, a British naval officer who jumped ship in Pensacola Bay in 1719. James McQueen, 1683-1811, had many wives during his 128 years upon this earth. Almost without exception, the "Breeds" who led both factions of the Creeks were his progeny.
