William Weatherford, also known as Lamochattee (Red Eagle) by the Creek (c. 1765 – March 24, 1824), was a Creek (Muscogee) chief of the Upper Towns who led the Red Sticks offensive in the Creek War (1813-1814) against the United States. Of mixed Creek, French and Scots ancestry, he was raised in the matrilineal Creek nation and achieved his power there, through his mother`s family of the prominent Wind Clan. After the war he rebuilt his wealth as a slaveholding planter in lower Monroe County, Alabama.
