He was a son of William Weatherford, the noted Indian chieftan "Red Eagle" whose deeds of daring and patriotisn are familiar to all the readers in Indian history. Mr. Weatherford passed all his long life in this county and the many stirring incidents and events connected with its early history with which he was vamiliar would have filled a large and interesting volume.
