This marker across the river from John Willcox's place tells part of the story of the Battle of Breakfast Branch. The whites engaged the Indians because some Burch men had been attacked by hostile Indians but one lived to swim the river (without his scalp) and made it to Capt. John Willcox's house. From there men were rallied at Fort Adams and the men crossed the river and came upon the Indians eating breakfast. Other retaliations took place and some Indians were killed who had befriended Andrew Jackson. The whole thing grew into a national dispute. And Jackson did not turn from his trip to fight Florida Indians to protect the settlers along the Ocmulgee. Ironically, Jacksonville, Ga., is named for Old Hickory, or Sharp Knife, as the Indians called him. [For more on this click "Previous" and read "Missing Marker Of History."]
