Homathlemico

Homathlemico (died April 8, 1818) was a chief of the Muscogee people who once lived at Autussee in what is now Alabama in North America.^[1] Along with Hillis Hadjo (Francis the Prophet), he was decoyed to shore and captured near St. Marks, East Florida by an American naval ship flying a British flag during what is now known as the First Seminole War.^[2] Five days later, Homathlemico was summarily executed by hanging at Fort San Marcos de Apalache by order of U.S. Army major-general and future president Andrew Jackson.^[2] Jackson claimed that Homathlemico had led the party responsible for the Scott massacre,^[3] although there was no due process or trial on these charges before he was executed for his alleged crimes.^[4]
