I've just put together a Creek Indian War page.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gataylor/crkindw.htm

The top of the page is about the earlier Creek Wars (and it sounds like
these would apply to you)...
Then lower down the page is information about pension, land bounty. I'm
still working on this....

I know that you don't have to know the specific Indian War to ask for the
Military Record through the National Archives. All the Indian wars are in
a combined file in their resources.
The Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldier Who Served
During Indian Wars and
Disturbances 1815-58.

There is also a published book:
White, Virgil D. 1994. Index to Volunteer Soldiers in Indian Wars and
Disturbances 1815-1858. National
Historical Publishing Company, Waynesboro, TN.

This book was transcribed from microfilm series M629 at the National
Archives. I assume that means
there are compiled service records at the National Archives for these
men.

So you might want to try to locate the book before you go to the trouble of
writing to the National Archives.

I'm also trying to locate rosters!! (So maybe we'll eventually have some
on-line)
