He was discharged on Feb. 8, 1814 atKnoxville. The war changed his life as he was so impressed with the good land ofthe Creek Indians in Alabama. So in 1816 he moved his family intothe newly opened territory the Creeks once occupiedm Bibb Co. Alabama.Brought with them Elizabet's father, Henry Haggard and his family andprobably others., Henry established himself with the Cahaba BaptistChurch. They were some of the first to settle the newly opened landsof the Creek Indians in central Alabama. They settled near Six Mile Creek. They farmed with the main cropbeing cotton. Patents to the land were not issued until 15 yearslater. John was a prominant man in the community and played an active roll inpublic affairs. He served as Constable of Bibb Co. He with other men formed the Real Estate Banking Company. Thestatebanking system had failed so these men using land as theircolateral set up their own bank in Selma Alabama. On July 14, hedeeded all his land on Six Mile Creek (valued at $1500.) Then John entered into the manufacturing and trade business along withfarming. He went bankrupt when his agent absconded with the money from sales ofcotton. This disaster prompted him to move to Texas. Their eldestson, Charles , had already moved to Texas so they joined him there.Moving with them were their 2 youngest daughters, sons William, Henry,and John Son Cumberland followed in 1851 They were living on sonCharles's 200 acres on Larrison Creek in Walker(now Madison) county. When John was 73 he learned of the new bounty land act and on Nov. 19,1850 he made the 20 mile trip to Huntsville, the county seat, toprocess the claim. He submitted an affidavit swearing that he servedin the Creek War of 1813-1814 and was thus entitled to the land. Hewas granted 80 acres. After that the population near Larrison Creek had increased so muchthat a new county, Madison was formed from parts of Leon, Grimes, andWalker Co. In 1854 the county seat of Madisonville was establishedabout 7 miles southwest of the Clabaugh's land. He died soon afterthe founding of Madison County. All Madison County records have beendestroyed.
