Bolek

Bolek, also spelled as Boleck or Bolechs, and known as Bowlegs by European Americans, was a Seminole principal chief, of the Alachua (Oconee) chiefly line. He was probably the younger brother of King Payne, who succeeded their uncle Cowkeeper as leading or principal chief in Florida. Bolek succeeded King Payne in 1812 when he was killed during the Patriot War. After Bolek died in 1819, the Seminole were led by other members of the Cowkeeper dynasty, including Micanopy and Billy Bowlegs.
