McIntosh in Alabama

McIntosh was named for Capt. John McIntosh, a British officer of Scottish descent. He was granted a parcel of land above the Tombigbee River by the British government after it had established British West Florida from territory claimed in its Seven Years' War victory. McIntosh was the grandfather of George Troup, future Georgia congressman and governor, who was born in 1780 at McIntosh Bluff, as the area was known, and also Creek leader William McIntosh, who played a prominent role in the Creek War of 1813-14.
