I have removed Image:AMcgillvray.jpg. As Kevin Myers pointed out to me when I added the same image, the man in that portrait is usually identified as Hopoithle Mico or Hoboithle Mico, a Creek leader who was often a political adversary of McGillivray. (The image is identified as Hopoithle Mico in Tecumseh by John Sugden and A Spirited Resistance by Gregory Dowd). An online example is at [1]. See also the version of the image at [2], that appears to have the original caption, which reads "Hopothle Mico - or the Talasee[?] King of the Creeks -- J. T. - New York 1790" (this is in context at [3]). Kevin Myers suspects there may not be any extant portraits of McGillivray. -- Mwanner | Talk 22:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
