Lyncoya was a Creek Indian infant whose mother had been killed in the attack on Tallaseehatchee, located in what is now Calhoun County, Alabama, The few women not killed during the battle refused to take another woman's child. The baby was taken back to Fort Strother and Andrew Jackson was the only person who knew how to get the baby to take some milk. Jackson gave the baby his name and sent him to his home in Nashville and unofficially adopted him. Life for Lyncoya was not ideal, he tried to run away several time to rejoin his people. Finally Jackson sent him to a saddle maker in Nashville as an apprentice. Lyncoya died at age 16 from TB. His burial place is unknown/

Where did Andrew Jackson find Lyncoya?
In 1813, Jackson sent home an Indian child found on battlefield with his dead mother. This boy, Lyncoya, (c1811-1828) may have originally been intended as kind of a pet and companion for Andrew Junior, but Jackson soon took a strong interest in him. He was educated with Andrew Junior and Jackson had aspirations of sending him to West Point. Political circumstances made that impossible, and Lyncoya went to train as a saddle maker in Nashville. He died of tuberculosis in 1828."
