Discover Alexandria
Alexandria, in Calhoun County, lies near the site of the Battle of Tallushatchee, fought on November 3, 1813, during the Creek War, when General John Coffee and Andrew Jackson's troops defeated the Creeks; a stone placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1913 marks the battlefield.
More about Alexandria
After the battle Jackson found a dead Creek woman holding her living infant son. Hearing that the other women meant to kill the child, as was their custom when all his relatives were dead, Jackson took him in, nursed him at Fort Strother near present-day Ohatchee and sent him to the Hermitage, his home near Nashville. He and his wife Rachel named the boy Lyncoya, or Lincoyer, and raised him as their son; he died of tuberculosis in 1828, at about 16. A memorial to him was dedicated in August 2000. During the Civil War the Crowe Iron Works stood near Alexandria; Union cavalry under General Lovell H. Rousseau destroyed it in July 1864.
