A matriarch of Daphne, Alabama, lived life to its fullest in the neighborhood of estranged family and friends because she chose to marry a man of color. Susan Douglas was loved and revered. Unknown to her associates, she was the daughter of a once proud and wealthy Alabaman, son of the notorious Red Eagle, William Weatherford. A full blood Creek Indian, Weatherford’s granddaughter avoided deportation. She carved out a niche with the “colored” community; and rose to prominence in her Church. Her descendants may be proud of her life and legacy.
