The town of Creel, Mexico, near Mt. Creel was once a mining community 
but today is a tourist attraction.  The Bancroft Library, University 
of Califorina-Berkley has a collection of papers and other facts 
concerning the Creels in Mexico.  

Reuben Creel, son of Elijah, was an interpreter for Gen. William T. 
Ward during the Mexican War. He was appointed Consul to Mexico by 
President Lincoln after the war, married there and raised a family.  
His son, Henry (Enrique) Clay Creel, was governor of Chihuahua at 
various times from 1903 to 1911, and Ambassador to the United States 
during the Taft administration.
