Elizabeth Warren a Direct Descendant of Militia ‘Indian Fighter’ Who Fought Seminole Tribe

Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) great-great-great grandfather Jonathan Crawford served in Major William Lauderdale’s Battalion of Tennessee Volunteer Militia from November 1837 to May 1838, a six month time period during which it fought two battles in Florida against the Seminoles.

Today, there are two federally recognized Native American Seminole tribes, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which has 4,000 enrolled members, and the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, which has more than 18,000 enrolled members.

Lauderdale’s battalion fought against the Seminoles at the Battle of Loxahatchie River, in present day Jupiter, Florida, on January 24, 1838. Then on March 22, 1838 they fought against the Seminoles again at the Battle of Pine Island, in present day Fort Lauderdale.

A native of Virginia, Lauderdale moved to Tennessee, where he was known as the latest in a long line of Indian fighters, as the Daily Press reported in 1992.

Gosh, I never knew she had it in her. I should have looked more closely cause those facial features are a dead giveaway. Yep, she’s definitely an old Indian fighter.

Our hearts so stout has got us fame…

    Thanks to all.

    These comments are hilarious.

    Humor is rape. The word “hilarious” is from the Greek word meaning “cheerful” which also the origin for the name “Hillary” which is why “hilarious” is patriarchal code for suppression of women. 

    This entire thread is a hate crime.
