Timpoochee Barnard (c. 1783 – c. 1841) was the chief of the Yuchi people, a constituent tribe of the Creek Nation, and served as a member of the Creek National Council. During the Creek War, he supported the actions of the Creek National Council and raised a regiment of Yuchis who materially assisted in the American defeat of the Red Stick faction during the war. He is most notable for rescuing part of General John Floyd’s Georgia militia at the Battle of Calabee Creek in January 1814. Barnard, who was severely wounded in the action, was hailed for his bravery. As president, Andrew Jackson would greet Barnard’s son by noting "A braver man than your father never lived."
