The son of a Scotch trader and a Yuchi woman, Timpoochee Barnard led a group of Yuchi warriors in support of U.S. forces during the war. At the Battle of Calabee Creek, Barnard’s command played a vital role in helping prevent the rout of General John Floyd’s troops.

Barnard is believed to be buried in the Fort Mitchell Historic Landmark Site, off Highway 165 south of Phenix City, Alabama. A stone marker commemorates his life.
