In Lee county near Starksville a massive oak grows about one mile east of town with a three foot ground measurement of twenty feet ten inches in circumference and a split at six feet giving twenty feet two inches around. The tree marks the site of the historic Indian town Chehaw once aided by peace provisions from the tribe. On April 28, 1818 a force burned the village, killing about a dozen Indians, an event that sparked debate between General Andrew Jackson and Governor William Ra bin.
