Augustus Alston
Augustus A. Alston was born in. In 1830, Alston, along with his father, mother, sisters, and older brother, moved to Florida from Hancock County, Georgia. The family set up a homestead near Lake Miccosukee and eventually built a large plantation known locally as "Ingleside."

During the early 1830s, Alston was the director of the Union Bank of Florida in Tallahassee. His brother, Willis, was the director of the local railroad.

During the Second Seminole War Alston led a company of militia called the Leon Volunteers. On January 31, 1836, Lieutenant William Ward, one of the regimental drillmasters, presented Alston with a petition created by soldiers in his unit. The petition drew attention to the fact that their six-month enlistment period was up and that the troops wished to return home. Alston, after looking at the petition, told his second-in-command William C. Parish to "shoot the damned dog." Parish obeyed the order and drew his pistol and shot Ward on the spot. https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/9c00d88b-1b8f-431d-8ffa-cac0803d32b1

Chakaika, also spelled Chekika, was a leader of "Spanish Indians" in Florida. Chakaika was born under the name Antonio on one of the Cuban fishing ranchos and worked during his early life as a fisherman and sailor who plied the waters between Florida and Cuba.

In July 1839, Chakaika led raids against Colonial William Harney and his detachment of U.S. Army troops along the Caloosahatchee River. Historians have conjectured that these attacks in 1839 were in response to the destruction of Cuban fishing ranchos and the forcible removal of Spanish Indians during the preceding three years. Then, in August 1840, he again led a raids on the Anglo-American settlement on Indian Key. Both attacks were part of the renewed hostilities which eventually became the Second Seminole War.
