When I was Born

McGillivray was born probably in 1750 in Little Tallassee near present-day Montgomery, Alabama. He was the son of Scottish trader Lachlan McGillivray and a Creek woman named Sehoy, McGillivray grew up in Creek society as a full member of his mother's Wind Clan. McGillivray also became comfortable with the White society of his father. Before returning to Creek society in 1777, he had lived in Augusta. He received a European-style education in Charleston, South Carolina.
