“Alexander’s will, which was quickly written and witnessed at his death bed, left his property to his children in equal parts. His wives should receive “but little.” His will was taken on 16 February and he asked that Panton and Forbes be the executors.”232

“Alexander had three children by his wife that lived at Little Tallasee. he later had another wife who lived at his home on Little River in Baldwin County. There were no known children from this union.”232

In a letter to Lachlan McGillivray, William Panton wrote:

“Your daughters conduct is unjust and cruel in the extreme but I impute a great part of the business to the Villany of Durant & Weatherford who are their husbands.” Panton asked that Lachlan write “Sophy and Jenny & Sehoy” a letter asking them to at least give up the slaves for the children. The sisters had seized all his property, according to Creek custom, and had paid no attention to Alexander’s will which left everything to his children. The girls lived with their mother’s sister after she died, and later we find them living with their uncle, Sam Moniac, who was probably married to the sister of Alexander’s wife.

“..there is no evidence that Lachlan ever recognized nor offered help to his two granddaughters who were orphans living with their uncle, Sam Moniac The Indian family ties were strong and they supported their relatives in need.”232
