Biographical History
The brother of Governor William C. C. Claiborne, Ferdinand served as brigadier general of the Mississippi Territory militia during the War of 1812.
Army officer.
The Creek Indian attack on Fort Mims was one of the primary causes of the Creek War of 1813-1814. Over five hundred people lost their lives in the battle. During this period, General Ferdinand Leigh Claiborne served as leader of the Mississippi volunteers who defended settlers along the Alabama River. He and his forces defeated the Creeks at the Battle of Holy Ground in 1813 Dec., effectively ending the uprising in South Alabama. The fort was located in South Alabama, in present-day Baldwin County, between the Alabama River and Lake Tensaw.
