Descendants of
Cherokee Mollie Welch~Brave Cherokee Maiden!
In December of
2011, I found Cherokee Mollie and now know her father was James Welch. James was a packhorse man for James Beamer
and a partner of John Downing. He was
murdered alone with a child of Edward Wilkinson and Mollie May of 1766. Alexander Cameron wrote of the incident to
James Stuart. They were murdered while
traveling to Tugaloo, a lower Cherokee Town.
Northward Indians murdered Welch and the Wilkinson child by bashing out
their brains, but old Trader Welch's last good act was to yell for Mollie to
'run, girl' and she did. She was hit by
Indian spears in the arm and thigh, but she managed to whip her horse and get
away! What a brave woman Mollie
was. During the Revolutionary war she
went to 96 with her mate, Wilkinson, while the rest of her family sided with
the British and moved south to fight with them.
By 1783, Mollie's protector, Edward Wilkinson, was dead. He was likely 30 to 50 years older than
Mollie. Mollie took a new mate. I have found evidence that one of these men
was named Rains. He lived in lower South
Carolina. His name I think was Jonathan
Drury Rains or John Drury Rains. By
Rains Mollie had more children, John (or Thomas), Sarah, and Mary Rains. These children were born between 1784 and
1792. Mollie had several brothers. One was John Welch, who married first,
Elizabeth Jane Hembree, and second a Cherokee woman. I am still searching for Mollie's
mother. Who was she? We can never give up hope. One day the puzzles clues will fit and we
will know!
Generation No. 1
1. JAMES1 WELCH1 was born Bet. 1700 - 1720 in
Ireland, and died 1766 in Near Tugaloo.
He married CHEROKEE QUATSI Abt. 1750 in One of Lower Towns of the
Cherokees1. She was born Abt. 1735 in
Lower Towns, and died Aft. 1766 in Cherokee Nation East.
Notes for JAMES
WELCH:
Called "Old
Welsh", James was a packhorse man for James Beamer. He was a partner to John Downing.
James Beamer was a leading trader of the
Cherokee Lower Towns, a friend Nightingale, Gov. James Glen and Ludovic Grant.
James Welch is
the white ancestor of some of the early Cherokee Welch families. His line also
accounts for many of the Welch Cherokee in the EasternTribe, through his son
John Welch (b.c.1753) and perhaps through his son
Thomas Welch,
both mixed-blood. And through our Mollie
Welch who was Edward Wilkinson's Cherokee wife.
From Genforum--L.
Petrisky
James Welch
(b.c.1720 Ireland) worked under senior trader James Beamer,
married a
Cherokee woman and resided at Estatoe village in what is now
Oconee County,
South Carolina.
A letter to South
Carolina Governor James Glen, from senior traders James Beamer (of the lower
Cherokee towns of
Tugaloo and Estatoe) and Richard Smith of the lower town of Keowee, dated
2 May 1752
“. . . 40 of the Lower Creeks came to
the Old Town of Cheowe [Keowee] . . . in a
very insolent Manner and plundered . . .
one of our Men, one Wm. Bails.” . . .
“They likewise took at the same Time
from one James Welch, Goods of ours in
the Care of this Welch, 9 large knives
at 2 Pounds leather Price, 20 smaller Sort
at 1 Pound of Leather, 1 trading Gun, 6
Padlocks, 7 and ½ Gross of Buttons, 400
Gun Flints, 8 Yards of Oznabrigs, and Pack
Saddles, and Wantys, and took Mr.
Dowey’s [Downing’s] riding Saddle. . .
.” [SC Docs Ind Affairs 1750-1754, p.247-8]
Related to this
incident, trader John Elliot gave a deposition in Charleston on 25 May 1752:
“On the 6th of May . . . he was in the
Town of Cheowee [Keowee] in the Lower
Cherokees from which the Indian People
were all removed for Fear of the Creeks,
and that there then remained there James
Welsh, and John Downing, and severall
others . . . who were then carrying Mr.
Beamer’s Goods . . to Estatoe.”
[Ibid. p.249]
James Welch
transported goods to Fort Prince George (at Keowee). [SC Commons 8 Feb 1758]
He was arrested
by Capt. James Francis of Ninety Six in 1759 and taken to jail in Charleston.
[SC Commons 19
Jan 1759; also SC Docs Ind Affairs (3) p.151,209]
He supplied
horses to Fort Loudon (Tennessee) in 1759. [SC Docs Ind Affairs (3) p.105] He
was part of the
back country militia 1755-1761. [Murtie June Clark, Colonial Soldiers ].
His son James
shows up on a 1797 list of men living among the Cherokee in TN .
There was an
earlier trader named Thomas Welch (active in 1714) A Thomas Welsh (Welch) was
buried at St. Philip’s Parish on 16 January 1770; and a John Welch was buried
there on 20 Sep 1768. The early Thomas Welch and William
Welch arrived in
Charleston before 1700. [Agnes Leland Baldwin, First Settlers of South Carolina
1670 – 1700, (Easley, SC: Southern Historical Press, 1985).]
BEAMER, JAMES -
Cherokee trader, was at Tugaloo in 1751 and at that time stated that he had
been among the Cherokee for 27 years. He may have been related to another James
Beamer, who made a will in Colleton County, South Carolina on November 13,
1687, being "about to voyage to the island of Barbados" and making
bequests to his young sons, JOHN and JACOB.
BEAMER, JOHN-
Cheokee, was described in 1811 as a relative of PEGGY SCOTT, wife of Chief
JAMES VANN. He signed a Cherokee petition in 1818, was a delegate to the 1827
constitutional convention from Hightower District, and in 1816 lived on the
Etowah River in Georgia. James Beamer
Trading Post was in the Eastatoe Valley in upper South Carolina. (Pickens
County, SC).
For the Cherokee
people, ownership of European trade goods conferred social status in addition
to everyday utility. Costing as much as 35 skins apiece, firearms, known as
trade muskets, were highly prized. A Cherokee hunter could kill 20 to 40 deer
per season with such a weapon, thereby increasing his ability to acquire other
popular items such as jewelry, paint, textiles, and tools. Commissioners of the
Indian Trade. Journal of the Commissioners of the Indian Trade, 1710-1718,
p.45. S175001
Packhorse
men occupied the lowest level of the
Indian trade. Often entering the trade as teenagers, packhorse men served as
apprentice traders who spent several years learning Indian languages, customs,
and the fine points of bargaining. Although some packhorse men ultimately
became traders, the less ambitious among them often fell prey to idleness and
alcohol. Resident trader James Beamer, writing from the Cherokee town of
Estatoe in 1753, described them as "desolute People, white Men, who under
the notion of Traders, live a debauched and wicked Life, and have Nothing to
do, and for Want of Subsistence become a Burthen to the Cherokee Indians…"

Memory thereof, after Words are forgot. The Witnesses were Sir Alexander
Cuming, Eleazar Wiggan, Ludovick Grant, Samuel Brown, William Cooper, Agnus

William Cooper], Interpreter, besides the Indians.
James BEAMER On his Examination before His
Excellency the Governor and the Honorable Member of his Majesty's Council, July
12,1751 Declared that in the Fall of the Year 1750, he fitted out seven Indians
from his Town of Tougolo' for their winter Hunt, and they were to send in one
of them for Horses to bring in their Skins for January, And their not coming
nor sending, we expected that they was either taken or killed by the Enemy.
Some Time after one Chickesaw TEHEE came in and gave an Account that their
Skins was all stole by some white Men, and I asked them what Quantity they had
lost, and he told me the Quantity that each Man lost which in the Whole
amounted to 331 Skins. The person that stole them had disguised their Theft by
several proceeding to make the Indians believe it was their Enemies had stole
them by the [Tongues?] being scatted about, the small Skins cut and their Dried
Meat thrown on the Fire, But on further Search they found out by their Names
and Tract to be white People, on which following the Tract two Days, then they,
the above said Chickesaw TEHEE, was sent in to this Examinant to acquaint him
that their Skins was stole, and to desire he would meet them at 96 to see
whether or no he could fine out the Skins for them. But then he could not go
down but sent one of his Men, Edward BROADWAY, where they were with a Letter to
Mr. FRANCIS to endeavor to get the Indians' Skins if they could be found. When
the said BROADWAY came to them they found a Pipe that they had packed in their
Skins, and they desired the said BROADWAY to go with them to Capt. FRANCIS to
Get Information where that Pipe came from, for that they imagined where that
came their Skins was. And when they came there they found that the pipe had
been given to Mr. FRANCIS' Servants by James ADAIR. ADAIR being examined by
Capt. FRANCIS declared that it was given him by Benj., BURGES, and he being
inquired after could not be had for a proper Examination in the said affair.
Mr. FRANCIS, as Edward BROADY informed this Examinant, treat the Indians with
great Civility and offered them all the Assistance as a J.P. he could give
them, and in Particular, a search Warrant, which they took but never gave it to
say Constable, but returned back to Wm. TURNER's as the Indians informed this
Examinant, where they resided still expecting this Examinant would come down to
them. But when they found he did not come, some or all of them went to John
VAN's where they saw 7, 8, or 11 of them Skins that they had lost, but would not
take them, as they not get whole, as they told this Examinant, but went Home
very much dissatisfied for the Loss of their Skins and continued so till this
Examinant left the Nation. And then desired this Examinant to recommend the
Affair to His Excellency, that they might be reimburse the Value of the Skins.
This Examinant heard some Person say that James BURGESS should declare that he
taken the Skins, and would do the same again had an Opportunity. Mr. BEAMER
being asked whether he had heard any Other being concerned in the taking these
Skins, to which he answered as above that 8 Skins had been found at Mr VAN's
and that he had been informed that one AVERY carried them there. Note (Clement
Vann, son of John Vann, had a son named AVERY, If the dates are right this
could not be him. Clement was born cir 1746, he would be age 5 in 1751) On His
Excellency inquiring what Mr. BEAMER had heard in relation to the Indians'
Proceeding, Mr. BEAMER declared that the Indians came in from hunting, they
immediately fitted out for War against the Creeks. Just after they went all
out, there came a Gang from over the Hills, led by the LITTLE CARPENTA and
TORSETTY of Seticko, and as they came along through other Towns, gathered their
Number to 100 and odd Men. And when they came to Kewee, they said they was
going to War likewise a [against] the Southward. And after staying there some
Time, they gave over the Thoughts of going and turned all back Home. In little
Time after the Gang that went out to War, from Keewee came in again and TEPTOA
of Westaroney told this Examinant that the LITTLE CAPPENTA had said the Indians
intended to kill the white People, but as all the Head Men was out from Home,
that he could not do Anything till they came home. And that if they continued
in the same Way he would send a Runner to acquaint them of it, and the said
Fellow said further, that if the Messenger came with such a Talk that he would
tell them it was a wrong Time for the white People was out of Goods and
Ammunition. Therefore they had better refer it to the Summer, when they would
come in with Goods and a fresh Cargo. And the he would tell the People that
they need not come up any more, but the Messenger never coming it all dropped
and your Examinant never heard any more about it. (R. Nicholas Olsberg ,THE
JOURNAL OF THE COMMONS HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, 23 APRIL 1750 - 31 AUGUST 1751, S.C.
Dept. of Archives and History.) and (William L McDowell, Jr., (COLONIAL RECORDS
OF SOUTH CAROLINA, DOCUMENTS RELATING TO INDIAN AFFAIRS, May 21, 1750 - August
7, 1754, Columbia S.C. Archives Dept.) The Deposition of Herman GEIGER Taken
before his Excellency the Governor and His Majesty's Council, 11 May 1751
Herman GEIGER informs me that being some time ago at the House of James FRANCIS
vizt. about six Weeks ago, when some Cherokee Indians were there, applying to
him said FRANCIS as a Justice for some Leather that had been stolen from them,
not far from FRANCIS' House, and the said Indians alleged that in the Camp
where they left the said Leather they left also six or seven stone Tobacco
Pipes, which they afterwards discovered some white People smoking out of, and
said that those that stole these Pipes must also have stolen their Leathers;
and therefore earnestly prayed Mr. FRANCIS to do them Justice, and make some Enquiry
into it. But he absolutely refused it; saying that no Notice should be taken of
such Fellows; for that they owed James BEAMER Leather, and probably had laid
out their Leathers at Savanna Town, or somewhere else, and only said, for an
excuse, that they had been robbed of their Leathers. All this Herman GEIGER
heard from the Interpreter, but was not present when the Indians made the
Complaint. But he heard FRANCIS himself say that no Notice should be taken for
what these rascally lying sons of Bitches say. And being asked where Mr.
FRANCIS lives now? Says he has left Saludee soon after the Scout was
discharged, and gone further up, where he defends himself against any Writs
that may come against him, and has seven or eight very desperate Fellows about him.
That while Mr. GEIGER staid there he discovered, pretty clearly, who had stolen
the Leathers, but said Nothing, because it was many of the People that were in
that House. But John DAVIS, being there at the same time asked Herman GEIGER
whether he had discovered who the Thieves were? He said he believed he had, but
would say nothing till he heard him speak. And he said suspected the very
People about that House, particularly Francis's Son in Law Johnny FOSTER. And
Herman GEIGER replied that You and I have the same Thoughts. The Interpreter
told GEIGER that the Indians were vastly dissatisfied at being refused Justice,
and said since they could not get their Leathers they must take the People that
had stolen it. Mr. GEIGER & DAVIS staid but one Night at Mr. FRANCIS's and
set off next Morning, with some of the People who were in that House,
particularly one of Francis's Son's in Law, [who] rode a part of the way with
them to the House of John VANN, he, FOSTER, pretending to be going to Savanna
Town. But when he came there he went another way, upon which DAVIS said to
GEIGER that it was more likely he wanted to go to see where they had laid their
Leathers. And by GEIGER and DAVIS discovered VAN was also concerned and some of
those he had seen at FRANCIS's House, who came also to VANN's House. That at
the same time they set out from Mr. FRANCIS's, his other Son, Harry FOSTER, set
out for the Cherokee Nation, in Company with one James ADAIR who lives at
FRANCIS's House. But ADAIR did not stay long in the Nation, for, on Wednesday
Night last, GEIGER met again at Beaver Creek. But he believes William THOMPSON,
who was just come from the Nation may know. And he (Thompson) being at the Door
was called in, and being asked how long ago it was since ADAIR was in the Cherokee?
Said he could not positively say; but it was about a Fortnight before Mr.
MAXWELL came there. Being asked whether ADAIR went through the whole Nation
into the Valley in the Over Hill Town; Answered, he went no further than
Hyoree. Mr. GEIGER said that he had been informed, by several, that one William
BROADWAY, whom Father and Brother are both in James BEAMER's employ, but he
himself is one of FRANCIS's People, went up lately to the Cherokees, and his
Brother then came down, that when he arrived in the Cherokee, the Indians asked
him, as they generally do, what News below? He replied that the white Men were
raising an Army to cut the Indians all to pieces. This Mr. GEIGER says it was
said. And that the Captain of his Company (SHYDER) intended to have wrote down
a full account of it; but time would not allow him. (R. Nicholas Olsberg THE

Notes for
CHEROKEE QUATSI:
Woman of the Wolf
Clan? She seems to be connected to the
woman who married Richard Pearis.
I think Trader
Welch's wife is kin to the wife of John Downing. She may not be a Wolf Clan member; as the
depostitons made by Frances Latta are hand written documents and instead of the
document saying Mollie was a Wolf it may say Welsh, Welch, Welsch. I can see in messy hand writing it could be a
fact. We know for certain that Mollie was
the daughter of Trader Welch because of the letter written in 1766 by Alexander
Camerton to James Stuart. Cameron tells
a grousome tale of Mollie, James and Baby Wilkerson going to Tugaloo where on
the way 6 Norward Indians (I think these are Shawnee) intercept their
journey. Trader Welch starts to greet
them with a handshake. He is carrying
Wilkerson's baby on his horse and Mollie is coming up behind. Welch sees they are not friendly and yes to
Mollie to turn and run for her life. She
turns and whips her horse. The baby and
Welch are war clubed to death and Cherokee Mollie is hit by two spears; one in
the thigh and one in the arm but she escapes and makes it back to Keowee.
I do not know
that Mollie's mother's name was Quatsy.
I am only using it to give her an identity. After 1766,
I think she remarried and I am searching for her and her new husband.

Entire letter
posted below, but copied the part about Mollie so it will be easy for
researchers to see--
On the 21st ult.
Old Welsh, daughter (whom Mr Wilkinson keeps) & grand child were going to
Tugooloo, and were met by six Norward Indians; Welsh had his grandchild in his
arms, and his daughter coming behind he shook hands with the Indians, &
asked what Country, but he finding them seizing of him, and making up to his
daughter, knew they were enemy, and called to her to make her escape: upon
which, she turned her horse about and gave him the whip, the enemy flung two
spears at her, and wounded her in the side, and arm; Welch, and Wilkinson's
child, were both killed, and their brains knocked out with a war club, which
was left by them with shame signs upon it; No Trader will venture into this
Nation, if the enemy are permitted to kill white People, as well as red.
Mollie married at
least one time after Edward Wilkinson's death to Unknown Rains and had a
daughter, Mary, who married Edmund Benge Duncan.
Mr Wilkinson
notwithstanding his good economy, expended to the amount of £600 currency in
making small presents to the Indians, and supplying them with provision, altho'
I bore a part of the expence, I am however well convinced, that no man in the
Province of South Carolina, could have done it at so little expence. End of

Letter from
Alexander Cameron to [John Stuart]
Cameron,
Alexander
May 10, 1766
Fort Prince
George 10th May 1766.
Sir,
Agreeable to your
Instructions to me, I set out the 21st ultimo, to see the Cherokee boundary
line surveyed, I was accompanied by the Prince of Chote, Jud's Friend, Tiptoe
Emy and the Wolf, with thirty young men, and we arrived at Dewis's Corner on
the 24th following.
Mr Wilkinson was
appointed Commissioner by the Governor and Council, to see the line run, and
Mrf Pickens, the Surveyor, attended us. We began the line at Dewis's Corner and
proceeded southwest 50 miles to Savannah River, the Indians blazed the Trees as
we went, and made the Boundary very clear and strong as they term it.
I could not learn
that we took in any land, that had been surveyed by any white man before, but
there is one Atkins, settled
--------------------
page 208 --------------------
within four miles
of the Line, near to Savannah. The distance from Dewis's Corner to the River
(as near as we could make it) is 27 miles; The course of the Line, from Dewis's
Corner to Reedy River where the Line terminates, is N. E. 50 miles[?] and the
distance 18 miles. About Saludy there are several houses within four miles of the
Line, and one House within one mile of it.
On the North
Carolina side of Reedy River there are three or four families settled: and even
if the Indian boundary be run a north course, these settlements will fall five
or six miles above it.
One William Turner
on Saludy, below Ninety six, has settled a Cowpen and Plantation on the above
Indian Lands, altho' he very well knew, that, Mr Wilkinson by Governor Bull's
order, removed a settlement off the same tract of Land last year. I have sent a
warning to remove without loss of time, otherwise I should take upon me to
drive them off, & distribute part of their cattle among the Indians as a
Tax belonging to them, &c.
The Cherokees
propose running the line from where it terminated a straight course, to Colonel
Chiswell's Mines, which I believe will be north, as nigh as I could make it;
They say, that it must be very evident, that as they have given all their
claims of Lands in Virginia, below Chiswell's Mines, and in South Carolina,
below Dewis's Corner, that a straight line, from Reedy River to the Mines, must
consequently cut off a great deal of their land in North Carolina; that part of
their Hunting Ground lies 40 miles eastward of where they now nominate their
boundary; but they do not love disputing with the White People concerning a
trifle, therefore they made them a present of it.
It would be very
necessary that a Surveyor should first sight the Line, from Reedy River a north
course, in order to know where it will terminate in Virginia, and whether or
not, it will take away any of the settlements.
Your Express,
George Redd, arrived at Dewis's Corner the 6th inst. as we returned from
marking the Line; I read to the Indians what part of your Dispatches concerned
them, for which they return you their thanks; they likewise return you thanks,
for your trouble and assiduity, in having their Boundary Line fixed, as they
are very sensible, it is of great importance to them, they were however
chagrined, that Governor Bull had sent no presents, for the Lands they ceded to
the Province of South Carolina; and more especially, as they were a poor
People, & prevented from Hunting, by the numerous
--------------------
page 209 --------------------
parties of their
enemies, that lurk continually about them. Inclosed you have a Talk from the
head beloved Man Kittagusta dictated to him, by many men & warriors of his
Nation. I inclose you likewise, an instrument, certifying their being present,
as well as myself, at the surveying of the division Line of South Carolina as
already mentioned.
I have
distributed most part of the Ammunition among the Indians, for their Defence,
as well as the greatest part of the other presents you have sent them.
I would be glad
that you would renew the Indian Commissions which I conveyed to you, and send
them, with the Medals, by the first opportunity, as they are at present much
wanted to be given, as a memorial of our Friendship toward the Cherokees which
the Creeks endeavour to depreciate, as much as possible. One dozen Medals is the
least that is necessary for them, and if you think proper to be distributed as
follows, to Ononnastotah, Kittagusta, Attacullahcedlah, Willnianwah, Otassatch,
of the Overhills; Moitoy, of the Valley; the Mankiller of Miccassie who now
lives in little Ohoteh, to the southward of the Valley, Tiptoe, Emy, Saludy and
the Wolf lower Towns, and Tugooloo.
In my letter of
the 2nd of April, I informed you that Emy, or the old warrior of Estatoe, was
ready to set out to war against the Norwards, with a party of Cherokees and
twenty Creeks; upon their march on the frontier of North Carolina, they met two
white Beaver Hunters, and it was with great difficulty Emy prevented the Creeks
from Hatcheting them; but after a strong and long talk from him to the Creek Head
Man (the Buck) he prevailed upon them to return the white men their Guns, which
they had taken from them; Emy told them that he would proceed no further with
them, as they determined to bring him into a scrape: and that he could not be
present at shedding the blood of any of his Brothers the English; he instantly
returned home and the Creeks followed.
Mr Price and I
shook hands with and thanked Emy, at a Public Meeting for his behaviour, and
made him small presents; I however explained to him that he did no more than
his duty, for his own Interest, and the good of all his Nation.
Tiptoe had pretty
good success in his expedition: he routed the enemy in two different
engagements, he brought home 3 scalps, skulls and all, in the first skirmish,
the Seed of Settico was wounded, of which he died in six nights after; Tiptoe
relates that when he
--------------------
page 210 --------------------
received his
wounds, he told them he should die in six nights and desired they would not
think it troublesome to carry him so long. On their arrival in Camp, after the
sixth days march, the Seed told them he was now going to die, that he was a man
and warrior, that he did not die like a woman, in bed, that he died in war,
but, said he, you must not bury me under the ground, to be smothered, tye me up
with vines to a pretty high tree, where the enemy cannot find my scalp, but I
can see them when they are going to war against you, and if I can do no more, I
shall bring you intelligence thereof; One more of the party was killed &
three wounded, one of which died since.
The Cherokees
were surprised in Camp, and most of them ran away; but upon Tiptoe's animating
them by a strong and bold speech, throwing off all his cloaths, & Killing
the Head Warrior on the first onset his party rallied and beat off the enemy.
Mr Taylor writes
me from over the Hills that the rogue Mankiller, and his Brother Trennilitah
are employed as Ambassadors between the Mortar of the Creeks, and Onomastotah;
and that the Mortar engages to reinforce the Cherokees with 700 on one days
warning, provided they will go to Virginia and fall on the back settlements
&c.
The following is
an extract of a letter from Mr Alexander Boyd of Virginia, to me, dated
Tenassie 2d April 1766.
“The Great
Warrior & Attacullabiculla, want to see the Great King, and seem extremely
desirous to embark from Virginia, and were they to solicit our Governor and
Council for leave (as they seem inclined to do) they would undoubtedly obtain
it, adding their Agents and your concurrence thereto; for there are none of the
murderers, that killed a party of their People, yet apprehended, neither can
they without imminent danger, for the whole body of Crackers, to a man, have
unanimously declared, publickly, that they will espouse their cause at the
expense of their lives, so that Proclamations and great rewards answer no
purpose. And should these head men be allowed to take a voyage, the expence of
conducting them to, and from England, would not exceed the premiums offered for
bringing the other villains to justice. Our Colony is now about building and
fixing a large store at the great Island on Houlston, for carrying on an
extensive Trade and supplying them on the most reasonable terms possible; and
at their request to our Governor and Council, they design to make overtures of
peace, to the northern Tribes, in their behalf; which, if they can effect,
great influence
--------------------
page 211 --------------------
will be used with
those living on the Ohio, to bring their commodities also to this grand
Magazine, and be supplied with clothing &c. All this is possible but I fear
their views are too sanguine.
“I have been
interrogated by several of the Warriors, why the Governor and his beloved men,
did not catch the rogues, and hang them that killed their People; and indeed of
late, rumours prevailed here of some of the disaffected having been busy sowing
bad talks among them, and they are threatening revenge for their losses;
therefore, your presence here is much wished for.”
We had accounts
some time ago that Mr Boyd was killed, going into Virginia, but I am glad to
understand that our information was groundless.
Numerous are the
fearful & dreadful stories, the Traders report of the Cherokees, and the
continual attempts of the Creeks upon them, to alienate their minds from us,
and sow the seed of contention among us, if possible, but I am not afraid of
settling everything in its proper channel, & making all straight.
I must observe to
you, that should the great Warrior and Attacullahculla be allowed to go to
England from Virginia, and pay his passage backward and forward, it would never
be a sufficient acknowledgement to the relations of the Indians that had been
murdered, but if the perpetrators of the murder cannot by any means be brought
to justice, then they must send large presents for the Relations of the
murdered and endeavour to make up matters that way; I am informed the whole
Body of them intend to pay me a visit on my arrival as I had been all along
promising them satisfaction, I am upon my word affraid of them, but I hope to
be able to waive the affair still longer.
I think Sir, it
lies with you, to send home the great Warrior, and little Carpenter, as it
would be of the greatest service to the Public, I do not in the least doubt but
they will be sent home from Virginia, (unless you will suppress them) as I am
convinced the Carpenter will leave no stone unturned to effect it.
In an engagement
between the Northwards and the Hunting Party of Cherokees down the Tenassie,
four of the former were killed, and three of the latter, and several wounded on
both sides; the Cherokees threw themselves into a Block House (made by the
Carpenter last Winter for his own defence) which prevented their being mostly
cut off, as the enemy were much superior in number.
--------------------
page 212 --------------------
A few days after,
a Norward Indian came close to the Island Town and snapt his gun three times at
a Cherokee Indian that was cutting of wood, the former ran up to the Cherokee
with his Tomahawk and made a stroke at him which the latter partly parried,
they grasped each other but the Norward oversett his antagonist, upon which the
Cherokee called out, and a wench, that was nigh to them, ran to her friend's
assistance oversett the Norward in his turn, tied him neck and heels and
brought him in. His trial soon came on and Attacullahculla who was Chief
Justice, ordered him to be burnt after cutting off some of his Members, which
orders were soon executed, the fellow behaved with great undauntedness, and
smiled at his torture.
On the 21st ult.
Old Welsh, daughter (whom Mr Wilkinson keeps) & grand child were going to.
Tugooloo, and were met by six Norward Indians; Welsh had his grandchild in his
arms, and his daughter coming behind he shook hands with the Indians, &
asked what Country, but he finding them seizing of him, and making up to his
daughter, knew they were enemy, and called to her to make her escape: upon
which, she turned her horse about and gave him the whip, the enemy flung two
spears at her, and wounded her in the side, and arm; Welch, and Wilkinson's
child, were both killed, and their brains knocked out with a war club, which
was left by them with shame signs upon it; No Trader will venture into this Nation,
if the enemy are permitted to kill white People, as well as red.
Mr Wilkinson
notwithstanding his good economy, expended to the amount of £600 currency in
making small presents to the Indians, and supplying them with provision, altho'
I bore a part of the expence, I am however well convinced, that no man in the
Province of South Carolina, could have done it at so little expence.
The Traders with
one voice join and request, that you would apply to Sir William Johnson in
order to suppress the insolence of the Norward Indians, contrary to the last
treaty of Peace; the consequence of that breach of theirs will be, that the
Cherokees will follow their example, & knock up as many of their Traders as
they can, which they already begin to insinuate.
His Highness the
Prince shakes hands with you, and begs that you'll send up an Union Flag to be
displayed on particular occasions, in the head beloved Town of Chotch
Ottassatch as Jud's Friend, holds you fast also, and desires, that you would
give a strong talk, to Henry Young at the Forks of Edisto, concerning three
Negroes of his, who were taken in the time of war by some of the
--------------------
page 213 --------------------
Cherokees, who
were going with them to the French in order to sell them; when Jud's Friend
spoke, and said, that altho' they were at war with the English at present, they
would have a peace with them by and by and that he would not suffer the Negroes
to be sold to the French, that he himself would purchase them, and give him
3001bs of leather for them; they were afterwards sent down here, and the Jud
left it to his own generosity what to give, but he never had a farthings worth,
a couple of cows would satisfy them.
I am Sir
&c ALEXr CAMERON.
Don Shadburn told
me of reading testemony saying Mollie was a Wolfe. We had always thought she
was of the Wolf Clan and the surname Wolfe came from that distinction. Frances Latta said she was of Cherokee and
White descent. She said she spoke
Cherokee and broken English. Frances
said she remembered her and sher son John.
Frances was a Scott, daughter of George Scott.
Notes for UNKNOWN
JOHN DRURY RAINS:
There is Drury in
Pendleton...but I am not sure of Rains first name. I doubt it was only Drury because Mary Rains
Duncan did not name a child by that first name and she had a bunch of
sons. The man may have been the father
of Drury and this is surely a second marriage for him.

Notes for JOHN WELCH:
John Welch/
Ooconu
This is from the
novel by James Strange. James used John
Welch as a role moded for John Welch in his book. The character John Welch is the son of Israel
de Lisle and Yenacona, though he doesn't know it. As an infant, he was rescued
from a fire by a white man who took him home and raised him as his own. He
kills Leech as part of the custom of blood vengeance. Leech's brother Eoneguski
is bound to kill him in turn. Welch loves Atha, daughter of Robert Aymor.
Tradition says John
Welch was half French and half Cherokee, as the novel also claims. He was a
reservee under the 1817/ 1819 treaty, claiming a reservation on Iotla Creek,
for which he was paid $1250 in 1829. Records say his reserve is next to Thomas
Jones' reserve. He killed Ah-leach (Al
Leach), who had a reservation at the head of Iotla Creek. The killing may have
occurred during a drunken fight. Yonaguska did pursue him but was pursuaded to
give up the blood vengeance by Betty Blythe, Welch's sweetheart (or, perhaps, already
his wife). Betty was the daughter of Jonathan Blythe, a frontiersman.
In 1838, Welch
gave his power of attorney to Jonathan Blythe and Jonathan Parker of Macon
County to act on his behalf for the benefit of his wife Elizabeth and their
children. He named children Edward, Mary, David, James, Jonathan, John Cobb,
Nancy, Richard, Dennis, Martha Ann and Rebecca Catherine. He also named slaves
Isaac, about 40, Nelly, 36, and her child Jane; Phillis, 26, and her children
Bill, Clarie and Henderson; and Frank, about six. (In the 1851 Siler Census,
two other children were named -- Lloyd M. and Stacy.)
John Welch born
1795 and died 1857 in Cherokee Co.,N.C. Married Elizabeth Blythe born 1795 and
died 1885 in Cherokee Co., N.C. They had 12 children, John, Mary, James, David,
Jonathan, John Cobb,Nicy, Martha, Lloyd , Rebecca, and Stacy Son Llyod was
elected principal chief of the Eastern Band Cherokee in 1875. Would like to
share info on this family.

12 Sep 1844 in Indian Territory.
Notes for MARY
RAINS:
Mary was a white
woman according to Starr, but it was a mistake she was Cherokee. The testemony of Patsy Duncan proves the
relationship between Mary Rains and Delilah Welch. Delilah also married a Rains, but that would
not prove Cherokee descent. The kinship
came through Delilah Welch as she was the Cherokee.

that Delilah was a first cousin to Mary

She may have had
a son named George. I do not know her

Notes for JOHN
WILKERSON:
[brendajackson56.ged]
I added what
Brenda Jackson had on John Wilkerson.
The following is
testimony given on behalf of Benjamin Brackett, Jr.who ap
plied for
Cherokee Citizenship. Testimony dated
June 2, 1879. Case 97, C
HN51. Included in this testimony are remarks
concerning John Wilkerson.
Statement of
Francis Latta, who being sworn on part of the claimant says:
I will be nine
six (96) of age the 5th day of next month.,
I was well acq
uainted with John
Wilkerson (Nellie's father) in the old Cherokee Natio
n. He was regarded as a Cherokee citizen. I knew his mother well and s
he belonged to
the Wolf Family (clan). It has been
about seventy-five yea
rs ago I first
got acquainted with John Wilkerson. John
Wilkerson and h
is mother talked
the Cherokee language. His mother spoke
broken Englis
h. John Wilkerson lived when I first knew him
near Maker Jack Cove (Nicka
jack?) on the TN
River. John Wilkerosn had seven children
by my sister a
nd his other wife
I think had five. He had a first wife in
South Caroli
na and two after
he came to the Old Cherokee Nation. My
sister and moth
er - John
Wilkerson came from South Carolina to the Old Cherokee Nati
on at least he
said he did. He had sons named Uriah and
Wiliam. Nelly Wi
lkerson was said
to be a sister to Uriah and William WIlkerson.
I do n
ot know how long
after John Wilkerson came into the old Nation that his so
ns Uriah and Wm.
came but the sons came afterward.
William, Uriah and Nel
ly were the
children of John Wilkerson by the South Carolina wife.
John's Cherokee
wife named Cootiah by whom I think he had five children na
med Aaron, Dick,
George and James. (She left out John) I
was acquainted m
ost with William
and Uriah Wilkerson after they came into the old Cherok
ee Nation. I never heard their right to Cherokee
Citizenship disputed the
re. I was presnt when Uriah's (Wilkerson) house
was burned. There w
as no corn to cut
down by the soldiers. It was cold up
there. I am the m
other of Allen
(?). He was a (illegible) Uriah's. William's house was bu
rned John Wilkerson's children by my sister were
named Hyram, Jefferso
n, Lewis, Lydia,
Tom, Goerge, Linda. I am a Catawba by
blood. My fath
er was also. I was born in NC near the Catawba lands. The Catawba lan
ds may have
joined North and South Carolina. I do
not speak the Cherok
ee language. I do understand it much.

in 1818 at Po(?) C

This document was

at Drury, James,
and Thomas Jones got their reservations according to t
he treaty of
1817. All Jones researchers are very indebted to Patty for th
is new
information. Documents give us a glimpse of a family long deceased.
Patty, you have
our heartfelt thanks!!!

and Thomas Jones, 1 April 1845.
Message from
Patty Woodall
All these claims
were made in the late 1830's until mid 1840's from provis
ions made in the
Treaty of 1835/1836 before the First through Fourth Boa
rd of
Commissioners. Looks like the claims was deposed in Pulaski Co, A
R. That just
means the deposition was taken in that county not that it w
as filed in the
courts of that county. These depositions were taken and th
en filed with the
Cherokee Board of Commissioners, which started out meeti
ng in the East
for the first one or two Boards and then moved to the We
st for the
remainder.
As you will
notice there is NO MENTION of a William Jones. I had thought t
he William Jones
who took a reservation very near Thomas Jones was a s
on of Thomas and
Elizabeth Jones. The deed in 1829 when Thomas Jones so
ld to William D.
Gains, William Jones is not mentioned. In fact, Washingt
on and Thomas
Jones are not mentioned either but I expect they were de
ad by this time.
The daughters were not mentioned either.
I think I've seen
some documents that state that William Jones was a s
on of Thomas and
Elizabeth Jones but these documents were written at mu
ch later dates
and I think had to do with proving Cherokee citizenship. S
o, it makes me
wonder if these later documents are accurate in all respect
s. At the moment,
I cannot find a one of them to be more specific.
Now, this leads
me to wondering exactly who William Jones was. Do you ha
ve any ideas?
Thanks.

The Wilkinson
surname is Norman in orgin. The first
record of the surna
me was found in
Durham, were the
clan was first seated from ancient times.
They were desc
ended from
Robert de
Wintona, of Glamorgan, one of the twelve knights who came to Gla
morgan with
Robert Fitzhamon,
a Norman noble, in 1066. Fitzhamon was
Sheriff of Ke
nt and founder
of Tewkesbury.
Wilkinsons held
estates in Durham, Hulan, Coxhoe, Eddercres, Sheriton, T
he Ganges,
Hurworth Bryan,
White Hurwoth, langdale, Stanley,Holmside, Tursdale, Whutt
on,
Brafferton,
Woodham Burn, Rushyford, Stoballe and in locations in Northumb
erland.
They also held
estates in Scarborough, York, Pontefract, Kirkbrigg and Win
terburn Hall in
Yorkshire.
One of the most
noteable at this time was Lancelot Wilkinson b. 1530, Harp
erley House of
Kyo in Durham.
Married 12 December 1563, Catherine
Leigh, Co. Durha
m. d. Nov. 1592.
Other noteworthy Wilkinsons
of harperley House:
In 1615 a Coat Of
Arms was granted to William Wilkinson of Harperley Hous
e, Lanchester,
Durham Co.
Eangland. His son Lawrence, a Lt. in the army of King Charles t
he First, was
captured in the
battle of New Castle On-Tyne, by forces of Oliver Cromwel
l. His lands were
sequestered by
Parliment and sold. Lawrence recieved special permission fr
om Lord Fairfax
to go to the New
World.
Samuel Wilkinson
the oldest son of Lawrence was the Grandfather of Steph
en Hopkins the
Govenor of Rode
Island, he was the last signer of the Declaration Of Indep
endance.
Mary Conyers, the
wife of William, her ancestory goes back to King Edwa
rd the First and
to the de Bohuns,
signers of the Magna Charta in 1215.
LDS records shows
the Wilkinson line back to Lord Robert of Innsbrook in B
avaria of the
Holy Roman Empire
in 946 A.D. (last names were not used until after the ye
ar 1000 A.D.)
Note: Harperley House at Kyo in Durham is now used
as a police training c

Note: I believe that Maker Jack Cove is really
(Nickajack Cave) a Cherok

settlement.. On the map it is near
Jasper, TN. The cave is now underw

the damn being built just below the cave.
The Jones, Wood and Wilkinsons lived between Nikajack
cave and Crow Town.

Message from

All these claims
were made in the late 1830's until mid 1840's from provis
ions made in the
Treaty of 1835/1836 before the First through Fourth Boa
rd of
Commissioners. Looks like the claims was deposed in Pulaski Co, A
R. That just
means the deposition was taken in that county not that it w
as filed in the
courts of that county. These depositions were taken and th
en filed with the
Cherokee Board of Commissioners, which started out meeti
ng in the East
for the first one or two Boards and then moved to the We
st for the
remainder.
As you will
notice there is NO MENTION of a William Jones. I had thought t
he William Jones
who took a reservation very near Thomas Jones was a s
on of Thomas and
Elizabeth Jones. The deed in 1829 when Thomas Jones so
ld to William D.
Gains, William Jones is not mentioned. In fact, Washingt
on and Thomas
Jones are not mentioned either but I expect they were de
ad by this time.
The daughters were not mentioned either.
I think I've seen
some documents that state that William Jones was a s
on of Thomas and
Elizabeth Jones but these documents were written at mu
ch later dates
and I think had to do with proving Cherokee citizenship. S
o, it makes me
wonder if these later documents are accurate in all respect
s. At the moment,
I cannot find a one of them to be more specific.
Now, this leads
me to wondering exactly who William Jones was. Do you ha
ve any ideas?
Thanks.

STATEMENT OF
DRURY JONES--See Mary Jones notes--page full!!
NICKAJACK AND
RUNNING WATER were both destroyed in September of 1794 by Ma
j. James
Ore. The survivors & former
inhabitants of these two (2) towns f
led to the area
now located on top of the South Cumberland Plateau and set
tled in the areas
known today as Green town, Hobbs Hill, and Tracy City.
They were nothing
more than villages and camp sites, hidden out of the w
ay in hollows and
sloughs on top of present day Monteagle Mountain. The c
amp in Tracy City
was later the home place of Chief Shook, who remov
ed to Oklahoma
with his immediate family, leaving those who wished to, a c
hoice to stay
behind. Other Chikamaka-Cherokee re
established in places l
ike the “Pocket”
in present day Marion County, in Jasper-Town, the curre
nt site of
Jasper, TN in Sequatchie County, and other connected up with t
he camps and
Cherokee settlements located in the valleys on the other si
de of the South
Cumberland Plateau in what is now designated as Warren Cou
nty at the
intersection of Barren Fork Creek and the Collins River.
Another such camp
was located at the head of the Elk River (or the Chuwal
ee River) in
Pelham Valley. This was a hunter’s camp
for Chuwalee town, a
nd named for the
Chief Chuwalee, who settled near the current site of Beer
sheba Springs,
well known as a tourist attraction today for its spring
In Grundy County, one certain Chikamaka
Cherokee chose under the 1817 re
servation treaty
his 640 acres on top of the South Cumberland Plateau in w
hat is now
divided between both Marion & Grundy Counties and is still kno
wn today by his
name “Pigeon” Or Pigeon Springs. This is
accessible fr
om the top by way
of Partin’s farm road off Hwy. 41 on the left going fr
om Tracy City
towards Monteagle, TN.
NICKAJACK, OR
ANIKUSATIYI, OLD CREEK PLACE-- Located near present Shellmou
nd, TN, it
contained at least 40 dwellings and was destroyed by Major Jam
es Ore (US) on 13
September 1794.
Note by
Betty: James Jones imigrated from
Nickajack...Richard Blevins, Sq
uire, John, Drury
and David Jones...are here. Thomas Jones

Thomas Jones
Hi Betty,
I was on the
Thomas Jones reservation today. Since I
didn't have my map
with me, I don't
know exactly where it was. Talked to a
man who will
show me where all
the springs are in the area. With my map
and his
knowledge of the
area I can probably pin point with a great deal of
accuracy where
Thomas Jones lived. The reservations
were given with the
place where the
person lived in as near the center [of the reservation]
as possible. Of course the person lived near a spring
because who wanted
to carry water
for any great distance. This is in a
valley called Kings
Cove after
William King who bought the reservation from his
father-in-law,
William Gains, who bought it from Thomas Jones.
There is
a Jones Creek in
Kings Cove. The man I met today said
there was a spring
at the head of
Jones Creek. I suspect that is where
Thomas Jones lived
... at this
spring. This man, and I've forgotten his
name, only is at
his house on the
weekends. He lives in Chattanooga but
was raised in
this area. This will be his retirement home. It is at the deadend of a
gravel road in
Tanyard Hollow [Holler] off Kings Cove.
This is a
beautiful place
and so clean looking. I told him it
would probably be
fall after the
snakes went in before I came back. I
will have my
camera. I'm very excited about this.
I know where
Thomas and William Jones reservations were.
All I know
about James Jones
reservation is that it lay right next to the Tennessee
River but where I
don't know. It is not on the maps. But I would guess
it was near
Thomas and William. Now Drury Jones
reservation appears to
be in Marion Co,
TN. I just thought about this today
after going up
Kings Cove. The head of Kings Cove is in Marion Co,
TN. So, I'm
wondering if his
reservation was there. It may have also
been elsewhere
in Marion Co,
TN. There is a big mountain on one side
of Kings Cove that
pretty much separates
AL from TN. It is a wide mountain too.
Thanks for the
pulling together of evidence. Some of it
I didn't exactly
remember that I
knew. Let me get some of it clear in my
mind and add to
what you sent.

My observations
from above are:
Alexander
Standridge, the Meeks, the Blevins and the Jones are all in
either Jackson
Co, AL or Marion Co, TN in the 1820's.
These two counties
touch each other
and the Jones reservations are not very far from state
line. Seems they all met in this area and then went
west. I do not see
any connections
between them before arriving in this [Jackson Co,
AL/Marion Co, TN]
area.
Was the Thomas
Jones on the 1820 Pendleton Co, SC census the Thomas who
married Elizabeth
Wilkerson???? If not, then who was
he? Why should I
think it was
anyone other than Thomas and Elizabether Wilkerson Jones?
If so, then the
Thomas Jones with wife Elizabeth who got the reservation
in Jackson Co, AL
is NOT the same Thomas Jones who married Elizabeth
Wilkerson. It is proven that Thomas Jones who got the
reservation stayed
on it until 1822
when he sold to William Gains. Thomas
Jones went to the
southern part of
Alabama to visit friends and relatives and died there.
Wonder who he
visited? After the sale of the
reservation, it appears the
family moved
across the Tennessee River to the south side where it was
still Cherokee
lands and lived there until the Jones families emigrated
in 1829.
With the Jones men
on the 1820 Pendleton Co, SC census it makes it even
more imperative
to determine who they were. It may be
they were someone
else but it
appears from the census records that it was the same group of
Joneses in all
the census. Does anyone have access to
looking at
Pendleton Co, SC
deeds on microfilm and court records?
With those Jones
men on the 1820
census it is very very dangerous to jump to conclusions
that the Thomas
and Elizabeth Jones with the reservation is the Thomas
and Elizabeth
Wilkerson Jones. It may be that when
Thomas and Elizabeth
Wilkerson Jones
sold that land in 1789 they left the area soon
afterwards. But if so, where did they go?
I still believe
it is the same Thomas and Elizabeth Wilkerson Jones in SC
and AL for the
simple fact of .... how many Thomas and Elizabether Jones
are there with
Elizabeth being Cherokee???? But we HAVE
to prove it or
elimate those on
the 1820 census before I am confortable with saying they
are one and the
same. I do not have a problem with presenting
all the
above evidence in
a more abbreviated format to indicate they MIGHT BE one
and the same.
I look forward to
hearing your comments regarding the above.

Statment of
Francis Latta: I will be nintysix years
old the 5th of next
mounth. I was well aquainted with John Wilkerson in
the Old Cherokee
Nation. He was regarded as a Cherokee citizen. I knew his mother well
and she belonged
to the Wolf Clan. It has been about
seventyfive years
ago that I got
aquainted with John Wilkerson. John and
his mother talked
the Cherokee
language. His mother spoke broken
English. John lived when
I first got
aquainted with him near Maker Jack Cove on the Tennessee
River. John had seven childeren by my sister and his
other wife had
five. He had a first wife in South Carolina and two
after he came to the
Old Cherokee
Nation, at least he said he did. He had
sons named Uriah
and William
Wilkerson. Nellie Wilkerson was said to
be a sister to Uriah
and William. William, Uriah and Nellie are childeren by
the South
Carolina
wife. Wilkersons Cherokee wife named
Cootiah by whom he had
five childeren
named Aaron, Dick, George, James and John.
John
Wilkersons
childeren by my sister were named Hiram, Jefferson, Lewis,
Lydia, Tom,
George and Linda.
I find the
spelling of Coo tah ya different ways,

Note: I believe that Maker Jack Cove is really
(Nickajack Cave) a

Coo'tiah)(Coh tah ya)

Thomas Jones
Thomas
Raymond Ray
thinks the Mollie Latta or Lotta who married John last is the
Peggy Wilkerson
listed
on the imm. roll
with Dick Blevins. She is directly by
him on the roll.
Uriah Wilkerson
tried to get Indian
rights but was
denied. They said he did not prove his
ancestry. Uriah
was the son of
John and Margaret McMahan.
Thomas was living
on the Eastern Cherokee Reservation in 1817 "in right
of wife"
with James and William in the same area described as " Where
Bill Brown
formerly lived on the Tennessee River.
He received a
Reservation here
of
640 acres, as did
his sons: William, James, Drury, David,
and John.
Thomas Jones Jr.
was the
chain carrier for
the surveys that were made. James Jones
Res. was just
over the line in
Tenn.
When Betsy Jones
Hampton and Mary Jones White asked to be readmitted to
the Cherokee
Nation...
Sherlyn found
this document where Betsy says that she is also know as
Betsy Wilkerson
Jones and Mary is know as Mary Ward Jones....this seems
to tie back into
the fact that Elizabeth Jones was named for her
Grandmother,
Elizabeth Wilkerson Jones.

Message from
Patty Woodall
All these claims
were made in the late 1830's until mid 1840's from provis
ions made in the
Treaty of 1835/1836 before the First through Fourth Boa
rd of
Commissioners. Looks like the claims was deposed in Pulaski Co, A
R. That just means
the deposition was taken in that county not that it w
as filed in the
courts of that county. These depositions were taken and th
en filed with the
Cherokee Board of Commissioners, which started out meeti
ng in the East
for the first one or two Boards and then moved to the We
st for the
remainder.
As you will
notice there is NO MENTION of a William Jones. I had thought t
he William Jones
who took a reservation very near Thomas Jones was a s
on of Thomas and
Elizabeth Jones. The deed in 1829 when Thomas Jones so
ld to William D.
Gains, William Jones is not mentioned. In fact, Washingt
on and Thomas
Jones are not mentioned either but I expect they were de
ad by this time.
The daughters were not mentioned either.
I think I've seen
some documents that state that William Jones was a s
on of Thomas and
Elizabeth Jones but these documents were written at mu
ch later dates
and I think had to do with proving Cherokee citizenship. S
o, it makes me
wonder if these later documents are accurate in all respect
s. At the moment,
I cannot find a one of them to be more specific.
Now, this leads
me to wondering exactly who William Jones was. Do you ha
ve any ideas?
Thanks.

RESERVATION CLAIM
OF THOMAS AND ELIZABETH JONES
STATEMENT OF
DRURY JONES
In the claim of
the children and heirs of Elizabeth Jones for whom a reser
vation was taken
by her husband, Thomas Jones, on the Tennessee River, und
er the Treaty of
1817, as per Register of Reservations NO 58 and forfeit
ed by David
Jones, administrator.
Drury Jones
appears before the Commission this 1st day of April in 1845 a
nd being
justified as one of the children of the reservee makes the follow
ing statement:
The reservation
entered by my Father for my Mother, Elizabeth, was in Jack
son County,
Alabama on Jones Creek near Kings Cove on lands ceded by trea
ty of 1817. My
Father was a white man and my Mother wasnative Cheroke
e. My Mother and
her family had been living on the place, which was afterw
ards entered for
the Reservation, three or four years before the Trea
ty of 1817. The
place had been improved some before Mother and Father mov
ed there, but the
owner, Bill Brown had abandoned it and it was the cust
om in those times
for any person to take possession of an abandoned plac
e.
My Mother had 7
children at the time of the Treaty. Five of them lived wi
th her. The other
two--James and myself--were both married at the ti
me of the Treaty
and settled to ourselves. I lived two and a half miles fr
om my Mother's
place. Several years after the Treaty--can't name exactly h
ow many--there
were several White men--Hamilton King, John Kellyson (?
), M. (?) Smith,
Tom Gunter, Bill Gunter, and Charles Reed, and some othe
rs (all living
within the neighborhood) were in the habit of comi
ng to my Mother's
house and tormenting her in every way they could devi
ce and
invariabley at night and would stone the house. In some instance
s, (they) broke
in the doors and windows with heavy rocks. One time, the d
oor being broken
in, a stone was thrown that struck my Father upon the fa
ce and broke his
jaw bone. At another time, they threw the grindstone do
wn the chimney.
The attacks were very frequent, sometimes twice or three t
imes a week, and
becoming more harrassing and frequent everyday. Father ca
me to the
conclusion that it was unprofitable for them to live on the Rese
rvation and he
and Mother, very reluctately, left it, and moved to the Che
rokee Nation,
which was 5 or 6 miles distant.
Don't recollect
whether my parents ever lost any property by it eing stol
en by the whites.
About 2 years after he left the Reservation, Father die
d, when absent
from home on a visit in the Chickasaw Nation. My mother con
tinued to live on
the Reservation until she immigrated to this count
ry in the year of
1831 (i) and died six years ago next August.
My Mother had all
together TEN children:
1. James
2. Drury
3. John
4. Polly
5. Betsy
6. Ruben
7. Washington
8. Sally
9. David
10. Thomas
Of these, Ruben,
Washington, Sally, and Thomas died young without issue. P
olly is the only
child dead that has left issue. She left three children:
Cynthia
Elizabeth
John
Polly was married
to Richard Blevins who is also dead. Their heirs li
ve in Carroll
County, Arkansas.
The living
children of the reservess--David, and Drury--reside in Delawa
re District of
this Nation. James, Betsy, and John live in Carroll Count
y, Arkansas.
When my Mother
and Father left the Reservation, it was taken possessi
on of my Hamilton
King, one of the White men who had been worrying th
em so long.
This statement
made before me, the (?might say despondent) being fully que
stioned.

WHAT WE KNOW FROM
THIS DOCUMENT
WRITTEN BY BETTY
RENFROE
Drury Jones was
alive in 1845.
Elizabeth Jones
died in August of 1839.
Elizabeth Jones
moved to Arkansas.
Richard Blevins
is dead by 1845.
It leads us to
believed that Polly Jones was his wife before Betsy.
Richard and Polly
children were Cynthia, Elizabeth, and John Blevins.
Betsy Jones
Blevins is alive in 1845.
Drury, David,
James, and John Jones are alive in 1845.
John and James
Jones and Betsy Blevins live in Carroll County, AR in184
5. Newton County
is part of Carroll in 1845.
Drury and David
Jones live in Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Jones
had 10 children: James, Drury, John, Polly, Betsy, Rube
n, Washington,
Sally, David, and Thomas. We actually do not know if all we
re children of
Thomas Jones Sr. They appear to be listed in order of birth
.
William Jones was
not a child of Elizabeth Jones. The only connection we h
ave found is his
name is listed with the Thomas Jones names and his Reserv
ation is next to
theirs. He may be a brother to Thomas Jones, who also h
as a Cherokee
wife. He may be the son of Thomas Jones by a different Chero
kee wife. He does
seem to be related to this Jones family. Perhaps, a ha
lf brother or uncle?

Notes for DELILAH
WELCH:
I know Delilah is
a granddaughter of James Welch, but I am not sure which of his sons is her
father. Patsy Duncan said in 1908
that Delilah was a first cousin to Mary
Rains Duncan. Mollie Welch and Delilah's
father were siblings.
She may have had
a son named George. I do not know her
daughters names but I do think she probably had some daughters.

14. JOHN B.3 WELCH (JOHN2, JAMES1)11 was born
1790 in Tennesee11, and died 1857 in Cherokee Co, NC11. He married ANNIE ELIZABETH "BETSEY"
BLYTHE11 1819 in Murphy, Cherokee Co., NC11.
She was born 1795 in Greenville District, SC11, and died 1885 in
Cherokee Co, NC11.
Notes for JOHN B.
WELCH:
[welch.FTW]
John Welch killed
Drowning Bear’s brother in 1819 after (or during) a visit to the Red Clay
Agency. When word of this reached Drowning Bear (Yona Guska), he vowed the
tribal right of vengeance. Drowning Bear was the son of Big Bear (Yona Equa) of
Nuquassi (near present-day Franklin, North Carolina). He was also a relative by
marriage or blood to Will of Nuquassi, who is also known as Long Will,
Halfbreed Will of Nuquassi, Long Fellow, and “Captain Will”: Will Emory (b.1744
d.1788), son of William Emory (d.1770) of Starr’s Cherokee genealogy. Long Will
was a lifelong friend of John Watts, who was born c.1753 at Ninety-Six, South
Carolina. Will’s only known son was Thomas (Emory), also known as Long Tom. The
people of Drowning Bear, Will, and John Watts were Chickamauga warriors – that
is, Cherokee who never surrendered. Those are the type of people who were after
John Welch. He was considered a dead man in the tribe until his wife, Betty
Blythe, pleaded in council for his life. She was not simply a sobbing half
breed pleading for mercy on her half breed husband – the Cherokee could not
ignore justice. She mounted a legal and persuasive argument based on tribal
justice (perhaps the killing was already a killing of justice) and she was so
effective that Drowning Bear, a man of justice, pledged that he would invoke
blood vengeance on anyone who killed John Welch.There was peace between the two
families and both men would later play big roles in the Eastern tribe’s
survival. However, as the stature of Drowning Bear increased in the tribe (he
adopted North Carolina’s Indian Agent, William H. Thomas, as his son), the
status of the Welch family in the tribe diminished, which is why many of them
went out to Oklahoma after 1848

He was not 21

i wonder if
Eleanor was named for Nelly Eleanor
Standridge
McBee. Her husand was a Primitive
Baptist Preacher

Or she was named
for the person Eleanor was
named for.
Notes for URIAH
HUBBARD:
[brendajackson56.ged]
From Don Hubbard
a descendant of Uriah's brother Joseph. "Uriah and Nell
ie moved with the
Hubbard brothers between 1810(All were listed in the 18
10 Pendelton
census) and 1817 to Hall Co., GA. My
gggg-grandfather(Josep
h) remained in
Hall Co., till his death in 1849. Brothers John and Uriah m
oved across the
river to Lumpkin Co. John stayed in
Lumpkin, Uriah volunt
eered to leave GA
and move west to the new C.N. Don read
an accou
nt in an old
family letter that Cynthia Hubbard (Brackett) died on a tr
ip back to GA
from OK. " Uriah was a pioneer in the counties of Hall, Fors
yth and Lumpkin
Co., GA (per Shadburn book, page 601)
Uriah took a 640
acre reservation on Wahoo Creek in Hall County, by rig
ht of his wife,
with 10 members in his family. He later
sold it to GA com
missioners on June
21, 1823 for $1350.00.
About 1830 - he
reported 12 children and took an oath required by GA l
aw to remain in
CN. Source: Whites Among the Cherokee, pg 62-64
" Also in
this letterbook is a list of 208 names of persons who had appli
ed for residence
in the Cherokee Nation.
1831 - A List of
white men who have Indian Families
Uriah Hubbard,
wife, 12 in family, farmer
1831 - License
for residence in the Cherokee Nation upon their having fil
ed proper
affidavits, has been issued to the following persons, viz.:"
Uriah Hubbard,
wife, 12 children, farmer
Wm. Wood, no
wife, 3 children, shoemaker
Benjamin Bracket
(Benj. Bracket), no wife, no children, no occupation list
ed
Michael C. Wood,

Mya (min?)
Brackett (Mya min Brackett) ditto (Mige)
James Wood, ditto
Abraham F. Wood
(Abraham M. Wood), wife, 1 child, no occupation
Locke Langley, no
wife, children or occupation
Andrew Wood,
wife, 5 children, blacksmith
Noah Langley,
wife, 6 children, miller
John Langley,
wife, 8 chidren farmer
In checking
census records I find:
1830 - Uriah
Hubbard in Hall Co., GA living next door to Benjamin Brackett
He has 4 sons and
2 daughters still at home.
Testimony from
Matilda Hubbard Parris would correspond with the reco
rd as she states
that she "had 4 brothers, one died, three returned wi
th me to the old
nation and came again with me back. Only
one of them n
ow living. I was not married when I first came to this
country, but was t
he next time I
came." That would make Matilda one
of the females and prob
ably Cynthia is
the other as she had not married Mige yet. (From Testimo
ny for Benjamin
Brackett, JR. Dawes App)

The Cherokee Old
Settlers came West before the forced Removal on the Tra
il of Tears
in 1838-1839. Some came West as early as 1807 (some even
ear
lier). Greater numbers came West, settling in
present-day NW Arkansas dur
ing
1817-1828. In 1828, some of these
Arkansas Old Settlers came on furth
er west to
present-day Northeastern Oklahoma (Cherokee Indian Territory
). A census of the Arkansas Cherokees was
commissioned, but never perform
ed, so far as we
know. The first formalized effort to
identify the Cherok
ee Old Settlers
came in 1851.

Notes for MARY
STANDRIDGE:
Mary is a
daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth STandridge.
Her daughter,
ELizabeth Jones Hampton, states in the Reenrollment to the
Cherokee Nation
that her mother was Mary Standridge.
She was born in
the correct location as to where the Standridges
were. She uses the names of the family in naming
her children.
She lives near
Rhoda Blevins. She was in Illinois at
the time the
STandridge family
was there.
James Jones is
probably a brother to John Jones who lives in Newton
County, Ar. 1850
near the standridges.
In 1850, there is
an Adaline Jackson and Martin Jackson with the family.
In 1860, Adaline
is using the name Jones. I do not think
she is Mary's
child perhaps a
grandchild.
I found these
Jones in Carroll Co. in 1840, no James.
He did pay taxes
there in the
1830s. He probably spent some of his
time in the Indian
Territory of
Ok. Most of his family finally moved to
Delaware District,
Indian
Territory. Mary Standridge Jones died
there. Mary lived on the Ne
osho River we
think
near Sulphur Bend
where she is buried. It was named Sulphur Bend after t
he Bend in the
Neosho
River. Mary has a stone in the cemetery
there.
Sulphur Bend
Cemetery: Located in Sec. 36 Twp. 26 R23. South of Fairlan
d. From Hwy.125,
take E 220 east 3.25 miles to cemetery. Sulphur Bend Ceme
tery, which
apparently gets its name from a nearby bend in the Neosho Rive
r, was a new
cemetery created by the Grand River Dam Authority to reloca
te a cemetery
from Sec. 32, Twp. 26 R 24. Two acres containing the old cem
etery were
transferred from the Cherokee Nation to the Ottawa County Commi
ssioners by
Cemetery Patent 137 dated Aug. 5, 1914. It had been leased fr
om the allotment
of Claudy W. Frazier. GRDA bought two acres for the new c
emetery from
Irvin And Jennie White for $200 by warranty deed dated Sep
t. 18, 1939.
(Book 161, page 656) On March 26, 1984, the County Commissi
on deeded the
cemetery to the Sulphur Bend Cemetery Association which h
ad been
incorporated by the State of Oklahoma for perpetual care of the ce
metery. (Book
431, page 276) The GRDA survey of the old cemetery lis
ts 90 graves of
which 20 were unidentified. The graves were relocated to t
he east side of
the new cemetery. The cemetery association has placed conc
rete blocks in
the ground to mark unidentified graves. Some graves, includ
ing those of the
Wards and Amma Bowen who died in 1876, are not found on t
he reading of the
old cemetery, and the cemetery association has no reco
rd of their
original location. Taken out of the book, Cemeteries of Southe

During the Civil War Squire Blevins and Rhoda Standridge Bl
evins leave
Carroll Co. AR and they are not back by 1870.
Not one of th
em is on the 1870
Carroll Co. Census, by 1880, they are all back. I thi
nk they were in I
T near Mary STandridge Jones. When they
return Rhoda St
andridge is
dead. She could be in one of the 20
unmarked graves her
e. If she lived to return, I feel she is in the
old Enon Cemetery, Carro

All these claims
were made in the late 1830's until mid 1840's from provis
ions made in the
Treaty of 1835/1836 before the First through Fourth Boa

Commissioners. Looks like the claims was deposed in Pulaski Co, A

means the deposition was taken in that county not that it w

As you will
notice there is NO MENTION of a William Jones. I had thought t
he William Jones
who took a reservation very near Thomas Jones was a s

Elizabeth Jones. The deed in 1829 when Thomas Jones so

The daughters were not mentioned either.
I think I've seen
some documents that state that William Jones was a s

RESERVATION CLAIM
OF THOMAS AND ELIZABETH JONES
STATEMENT OF
DRURY JONES
In the claim of
the children and heirs of Elizabeth Jones for whom a reser
vation was taken
by her husband, Thomas Jones, on the Tennessee River, und
er the Treaty of
1817, as per Register of Reservations NO 58 and forfeit
ed by David
Jones, administrator.
Drury Jones
appears before the Commission this 1st day of April in 1845 a
nd being
justified as one of the children of the reservee makes the follow
ing statement:
The reservation
entered by my Father for my Mother, Elizabeth, was in Jack
son County,
Alabama on Jones Creek near Kings Cove on lands ceded by trea
ty of 1817. My
Father was a white man and my Mother wasnative Cheroke
e. My Mother and
her family had been living on the place, which was afterw
ards entered for
the Reservation, three or four years before the Trea
ty of 1817. The
place had been improved some before Mother and Father mov
ed there, but the
owner, Bill Brown had abandoned it and it was the cust
om in those times
for any person to take possession of an abandoned plac
e.
My Mother had 7
children at the time of the Treaty. Five of them lived wi
th her. The other
two--James and myself--were both married at the ti
me of the Treaty
and settled to ourselves. I lived two and a half miles fr
om my Mother's
place. Several years after the Treaty--can't name exactly h
ow many--there
were several White men--Hamilton King, John Kellyson (?
), M. (?) Smith,
Tom Gunter, Bill Gunter, and Charles Reed, and some othe
rs (all living
within the neighborhood) were in the habit of comi
ng to my Mother's
house and tormenting her in every way they could devi
ce and
invariabley at night and would stone the house. In some instance
s, (they) broke
in the doors and windows with heavy rocks. One time, the d
oor being broken
in, a stone was thrown that struck my Father upon the fa
ce and broke his
jaw bone. At another time, they threw the grindstone do
wn the chimney.
The attacks were very frequent, sometimes twice or three t
imes a week, and
becoming more harrassing and frequent everyday. Father ca
me to the
conclusion that it was unprofitable for them to live on the Rese
rvation and he
and Mother, very reluctately, left it, and moved to the Che
rokee Nation,
which was 5 or 6 miles distant.
Don't recollect
whether my parents ever lost any property by it eing stol
en by the whites.
About 2 years after he left the Reservation, Father die
d, when absent
from home on a visit in the Chickasaw Nation. My mother con
tinued to live on
the Reservation until she immigrated to this count
ry in the year of
1831 (i) and died six years ago next August.
My Mother had all
together TEN children:
1. James
2. Drury
3. John
4. Polly
5. Betsy
6. Ruben
7. Washington
8. Sally
9. David
10. Thomas
Of these, Ruben,
Washington, Sally, and Thomas died young without issue. P
olly is the only
child dead that has left issue. She left three children:
Cynthia
Elizabeth
John
Polly was married
to Richard Blevins who is also dead. Their heirs li
ve in Carroll
County, Arkansas.
The living
children of the reservess--David, and Drury--reside in Delawa
re District of
this Nation. James, Betsy, and John live in Carroll Count
y, Arkansas.
When my Mother
and Father left the Reservation, it was taken possessi
on of my Hamilton
King, one of the White men who had been worrying th
em so long.
This statement
made before me, the (?might say despondent) being fully que
stioned.

WHAT WE KNOW FROM
THIS DOCUMENT
WRITTEN BY BETTY
RENFROE
Drury Jones was
alive in 1845.
Elizabeth Jones
died in August of 1839.
Elizabeth Jones
moved to Arkansas.
Richard Blevins
is dead by 1845.
It leads us to
believed that Polly Jones was his wife before Betsy.
Richard and Polly
children were Cynthia, Elizabeth, and John Blevins.
Betsy Jones
Blevins is alive in 1845.
Drury, David,
James, and John Jones are alive in 1845.
John and James
Jones and Betsy Blevins live in Carroll County, AR in184
5. Newton County
is part of Carroll in 1845.
Drury and David
Jones live in Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Jones
had 10 children: James, Drury, John, Polly, Betsy, Rube
n, Washington,
Sally, David, and Thomas. We actually do not know if all we
re children of
Thomas Jones Sr. They appear to be listed in order of birth
.
William Jones was
not a child of Elizabeth Jones. The only connection we h
ave found is his
name is listed with the Thomas Jones names and his Reserv
ation is next to
theirs. He may be a brother to Thomas Jones, who also h
as a Cherokee
wife. He may be the son of Thomas Jones by a different Chero
kee wife. He does
seem to be related to this Jones family. Perhaps, a ha
lf brother or
uncle?
from
"Cherokee Planters in Georgia 1832-1838", by Don Shadburn
Information
provide by Raymond Ray
In Broom Town
Valley were the farm improvements of Nelly (near Lookout Mou
ntain), her
son-in-law, Grasshopper, and Richard Guess, presumable the s
on of Sequoyah,
Guess owned two improvements, one valued for $197.25 (pl
us $48 to
compensate him for rent paid on the place in 1836), the other kn
own as Sparrow
Hawk's place, which had been taken and cultivated by whi
te setters in the
Spring of 1836. Also at Broom Town were Cheenahwee (ne
ar Lumpkin's),
Mesa'quah, and Coo'tire, mother of Aaron and Dick Wilkerso
n, mixed blood
sons of Edward and John Wilkerson of Tennessee.
Aaron Wilkerson's
home place at Island Town was assessed at $482.25, inclu
ding 20 acres of
bottomland and a "Boat House" 14 feet long; he also repor
ted property at
Duck Town at a place "where his mother formerly resided
." In
addition, he claimed one of John Walker's improvements near Walker C
ourthouse in
District 7, as did Bushyhead. Dick Wilkerson still farmed a f
ew acres at Duck
Town, his land adjoining Black Fox and Good Money.
Notes for
UNKNOWN:
Drury had a close
relationship with the Blevins and Meeks his wife
may have been a
Blevins or Meek.
Children of DRURY
JONES and UNKNOWN are:
i. JOHN5
JONES.
31. ii. SALLY
JONES, b. Abt. 1815.
32. iii. WILLIAM
JONES, b. Abt. 1820, Al. or Tenn.; d. Bef. 1860.
iv. SQUIRE
JONES, b. Bef. 1830.
v. JOSHUA
JONES, b. 1833.
vi. MATILDA
JONES, b. Aft. 1833.
vii. LUCINDA
JONES, b. Aft. 1835.
20. JOHN4 JONES (ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON, CHEROKEE
MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born Abt. 1792 in South Carolina, and died Aft.
1850 in Probably Indian Territory or TX..
He married (1) UNKNOWN. He
married (2) ALAFAIR MEEK Abt. 1835 in Probably Missouri, daughter of JEREMIAH
MEEK and ELIZABETH BLEVINS. She was born
1803 in Kentucky, and died Aft. 1850.
Notes for JOHN
JONES:
There are some
Jones men living near John Jones in 1850 Newton Co. I
think they may
also be his older sons. He seems to have
a very large
family. His grandsons Lem and Lewis Jones sons of
Elizabth Standridge
Felkins Jones
received allotments for being Cherokee.
I would also
think that these Joneses came to Ar. from St. Francois Co.
Mo. as many of
the rest of the
Newton Co. Jones did. Was James Jones a
brother to David
Jones Sr. of
Carroll Co. Census 1840. C. L. Boyd said
he thought John
Jones was half
Cherokee.
Notes for ALAFAIR
MEEK:
I am uncertain
about Alafair's marriages. I found the
marriage to Dan
Hubble in Cape
Gir. Mo. Jacob Meek was there, but in
1850 Alafair is
living next door
to Jeremiah Meek in Newton Co. Ar. I
think she is his
sister, but she
might only be his cousin. Since she says
she was born in
Ky. that might solve the mystery if i knew if
Jacob or Jeremiah were in
Ky. in 1803 when
Alafair was born.
Elizabeth E.
Roberts, I think is her daughter, but she may only be a
neice. Since Elizabeth stays near the other Jones
girls throughout their
lives I think
Dett, Rachel and she are sisters; however, I may be
mistaken. Alafair's mother had two sisters who married
Roberts men.
She may belong to
one of these families. Since several of
the families
went to Tx. Elizabeth may have not wanted to go and
stayed behind with
Alafair who is a
relative.
Child of JOHN
JONES and UNKNOWN is:
i. RICHARD5
JONES, b. 1836.
Children of JOHN
JONES and ALAFAIR MEEK are:
ii. ELIJAH5
JONES, b. 1835.
33. iii. NOAH
LEWIS JONES, b. 1837, Ar.; d. 29 Dec 1861, Rolla, Missouri.
iv. JOHN
JONES, b. 1837.
34. v. JAMES
JONES, b. 1840; d. Bef. 1880.
35. vi. MARY
ELIZA JONES, b. 1840; d. Aft. 1870.
36. vii. TILETHA
ANN JONES, b. 1844; d. 25 Jun 1886, Newton Co, Ar..
viii. RACHEL
JONES, b. 1844; m. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEEK; b. 1845.
Notes for RACHEL
JONES:
Arch had 5
wives. Their names were: Harriet Green, Malinda Jane
McEntire, Nancy M. Thornton, Willian George, and Rachel
Brassfield
(Meek) Rachel was my great grandmother.
Archibald had a
son named Jasper Newton and his son was Herman L. Sanders
who was my father
from Herman Sanders.
I think I have
the wrong Mary Ann.. The one I am
looking for was b:1820
in Tn. and D 1
Nov. 1890 in Pomona , Los Angeles Co.,
CA. My great
grandfather was
Archibald McDonald Sanders. He had a son named
Jasper Newton and
both was buried in Witts Spring, AR.
Archibald was a
brother to my
Mary Ann.. Their father was named Hiram
Sanders b: Abt
1800 in GA.
Notes for GEORGE
WASHINGTON MEEK:
John was killed
in the Civil War. He and Rachel had no
children or had a
child that
died. She applied for a pension for his
service and was
refused. She married Archibald Sanders of Searcy Co.
Ar. second.
21. MARY4 JONES (ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON, CHEROKEE
MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born Abt. 1794 in South Carolina, and died Abt.
1833 in Delaware Dist. Indian Territory.
She married RICHARD BLEVINS Abt. 1819.
He was born 1785, and died Bef. 1845 in Texas.
Notes for MARY
JONES:
Mary Jones was
probably married to Dick Blevins between 1820-25. He sign
ed to leave the
area in 1828?, so they were married by then.
He has indi
an children then.
I think Drury
listed these children in the order of their birth so Cynth
ia is the
oldest. She must have died as we can not
locate her, but she w
as alive in
1845.

WHAT WE KNOW FROM
THIS DOCUMENT
WRITTEN BY BETTY
RENFROE
Drury Jones was
alive in 1845.
Elizabeth Jones
died in August of 1839.
Elizabeth Jones
moved to Arkansas.
Richard Blevins
is dead by 1845.
It leads us to
believed that Polly Jones was his wife before Betsy.
Richard and Polly
children were Cynthia, Elizabeth, and John Blevins.
Betsy Jones
Blevins is alive in 1845.
Drury, David,
James, and John Jones are alive in 1845.
John and James
Jones and Betsy Blevins live in Carroll County, AR in184
5. Newton County
is part of Carroll in 1845.
Drury and David
Jones live in Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Jones
had 10 children: James, Drury, John, Polly, Betsy, Rube
n, Washington,
Sally, David, and Thomas. We actually do not know if all we
re children of
Thomas Jones Sr. They appear to be listed in order of birth
.
William Jones was
not a child of Elizabeth Jones. The only connection we h
ave found is his
name is listed with the Thomas Jones names and his Reserv
ation is next to
theirs. He may be a brother to Thomas Jones, who also h
as a Cherokee
wife. He may be the son of Thomas Jones by a different Chero
kee wife. He does
seem to be related to this Jones family. Perhaps, a ha
lf brother or
uncle?
Notes for RICHARD
BLEVINS:
Richard Blevins
is dead by 1845. he married a white
wife, then Mary Jone
s, and then
Elizabeth Jones. He had Elizabeth, John
and Cynthia by Mary.
Robbie
Kilgore--my grandmother, Edie Jane Bankhead Morrison, was born in I
ndian Territory
in 1893 and lived her short life (33
years) in and
around Chelsea. She was Cherokee. Her aunt is a
"Thompson"
- Eador Jane Bankhead Thompson, born about 1851 in Hill Count
y, Texas. Eador
Jane, and her brothers John and George (my ggrandfather) m
oved to Indian
Territory in 1887. Their mother was Cherokee. I have also s
een Eador Jane's
name on various documents as Edith and even Ada. She rais
ed my
grandmother. Robbie Kilgore

In addition to
the given name Armistead, shows frequent use of the given n
ame Squire. These names link this cluster because they
are unusual nam
es not found in
the post 1780 Blevins families of Virginia and North Carol
ina. Several
Blevins families moved into what was to become Carroll Coun
ty about 1832
from Missouri or Tennessee. Given names frequently used by t
his group but
rare in other Blevins families are Squire, Isham, Luke, Mart
in, Richard and
Armistead. Whether all of the Carroll
County Blevins fam
ilies descend
from one mid 18th century ancestor can not be answered by th
is writer.
It appears highly
likely that this Carroll County Blevins is descended fr
om one or more of
the Blevins families shown below as being in Montgome
ry County, VA in
the 1770's and in Buncombe County, NC in the 1790's. Pa
rt of those
families were in Wayne Co, KY by 1801and others
in Blount Cou
nty, TN by 1801.
The Carroll Co. Blevins are most likely descendants of Ri
chard Blevins
who is first found in the 1777
Montgomery County, VA Milit
ia List.

rom THE VIRGINIA

Y. “By deed of 28 Jan. 1755 John Armistead

he branches of
Snow Quarter. This tract was bounded by
lands of Samuel Br

Jonathan Cunningham, Joseph Price, Absolam Jordan, John Salmo

Terrill and John Blevins. The deed was
witnessed by Ralph Flip
ping, Randolph
Richardson and David Parker, and recorded in March 175

River and lies in the nor
thwestern part of
Cumberland County near present Buckingham and Fluvanna C

There is much
that we do not know about these Blevins families shown list
ed on the 1840
Carroll County, Arkansas census. What we do know about the
se dozen families
found in the 1840 Carroll County Census is:
•Some, but not
all of these families claimed Indian blood.
(See discussi
on which follows)
•Some of the
older family members were born in Tennessee, but so
me in NC or VA
•Several appear
to have close ties with the Meek families that also arriv
ed in 1832
•Multiple Blevins
and Meek marriages occurred in Blount County, TN betwe
en 1800 and 1805.
•Several of this
Cluster were in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri in the 1
830 Census
•Many of these
families repeatedly used the given name Armistead
•These families
introduced the given names Squire and Isham to the fami
ly and used the
names Richard, Luke and Martin more frequently than oth
er Blevins
families.
•Several of these
families along with the Meek family moved to Texas begi
nning in 1846
•Several appear
on the 1832 and 1833 Izard County (AR Territory) tax li
st and then
appear on the 1834 Original Carroll County tax list.

Yellville, then
known as Shawneetown, joined this community about the sa
me time." An
article in Star Progress by B. F. Rose for the Carrollton Cen
tennial 1850-1860
states Goodspeed's information a little different, calli
ng the above
referenced community "a community of undesirable half-breed C
herokees",
and says "In 1839, a company of citizens was organized, kno
wn as
'Regulators' numbering about 30 members.
It's object was to suppre
ss stealing and
punish the miscreants of the half-breed community. Sever
al were whipped
and forced to leave the country. A few
who confessed a
nd promised to
reform were allowed to stay."
Goodspeed
continues "Jacob A. Meek came from Henry County, TN about 183
7, and settled on
Dry Creek. He was a member of the
Methodist Church. H
is father,
Jeremiah, and brothers, William, Joseph, and Samuel, followed h

Red L. Larimer in

"Carrollton was select

Eastern Cherokee
Applications. In 1906 and 1907, over
48,000 descendan
ts of Eastern
Cherokees filed applications with the U.S. Court of Claims s
eeking funds
under a Supreme Court decree for descendants of the Cheroke
es who had been
forced to give up their homes in the 1830's, and move we
st to the
reservations in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Several descendants of R
ichard Blevins
filed such applications and I will excerpt one below whi
ch discusses the
Indian connection. Application # 7523 -
Morris Adki
ns of
Collinsville, Oklahoma, 1906. (s/o Wm. Adkins and wife Susan Coope
r, and grandson
of Isaac Cooper and wife Mahala Jane Blevins) This claim w
as rejected with
the government agent note that "it does not appear that a
ny ancestor was
enrolled either in 1835 or 1851. Nor
does it appear th
at any ancestors
were parties to the treaties of 1835-6 and 1846. Sever
al of applicant's
cousins were on The Old Settler roll.

d" Signed: Arizona Hoggard, Ada, OK, Aug. 22,
1908.
Disposition of
Morris Adkins Claim # 7523: REJECTED.
The claim, of the he
ad of this group
was rejected properly, for the reason that the grandmoth
er through whom
he claims, Mahala Jane Blevins, was enrolled as an "Old Se
ttler" in
1851 on the Non-resident Roll, Group 6.
"Some of the
other members of the group are claiming through Jack Blevin
s, who was a
relative of Mahala Jane Blevins, possibly her brother, b
ut as to this
there is some doubt. There is a John
Blevins enrolled on t
he Old Settler
Roll in 1851 among the Non-residents in group 4. (
It is to be noted
that this John Blevins is two groups removed from the Ma
hala Jane Blevins
above referenced to) and it is possible that this John B
levins is the
Jack Blevins through whom other members of this group are cl
aiming. This theory is given some support by the fact
that it appears th
at Jack Blevins
had a sister, Betsy Jane, and the name immediately followi
ng that of John
Blevins on the Roll and just before the name of Mahala Ja
ne Blevins, above
referred to, is "Betsy Jane Hendrick's child". The
re is also a John
Blevins on the Old Settler Roll in Delaware District, Gr
oup 1. No Blevins was enrolled with the Eastern
Cherokees in 1835 a
nd no Blevins was
enrolled on the Emigrant Cherokee Roll of 1851, whi
le a number of
Blevins, besides those enumerated, appear on the Old Settl
er Roll of
1851."
"The claim
is made that Jack Blevins was the son of Richard Blevins and Be
tsy Blevins, who
before marriage was Betsy Jones, and the assertion is ma
de that Betsy
Jones was a Cherokee Indian living in Tennessee in 1835....P
auline Hoggard,
application No. 30126, was a daughter of Jack Blevins a
nd she had a
brother Riley, and in her application she states that Riley B
levins was born
in 1835 or 36. Three of the children of
Riley Blevins ha
ve filed
applications, see numbers 39370, 40138 and 40139, in each of whi
ch the statement
is made that their father Riley, was born in Texas. Th
is would clearly
indicate that Jack Blevins was in the west at the ti
me of the treaty
of 1835-6.....Pauline Hoggard further states in her affid
avit...."I
was personally acquainted with Richard Blevins and family and k
new that he
married 'Polly and Betsy, two sisters and Cherokee Indian wom
en by
blood.' This was in 1836 when I was a
young child and living alo
ng the border
between the State of Arkansas and the Cherokee Nation."
ECA # xxxx filed
by Martin Blevins (ca. 1857-after 1907), son of Andrew Ja
ckson
"Jack" Blevins (b. ca. 1815) and wife Susan Schultz. Says his grand
parents were Dick
Blevins and Betsy Jones, and Martin Schults and wife Sal
lie Rowden. Lists the children of Dick Blevins and Betsy
Jones as Armste

Excerpting from
statement by Elizabeth Hampton: Elizabeth Hampton was t
he daughter of
James Jones who was a brother of Mary and Elizabeth "Bets
y" Jones
·Richard Blevins
was first married to a white woman and had several child
ren. The names
she could remember were Armistead, William, Squire and Jack
.
·Next he was
married to Mary "Polly" Jones and had two children, John a
nd Elizabeth Jane
·Mary
"Polly" Jones died in the Nation (Oklahoma) - Richard, Mary and chi
ldren must have
lived there after they left Arkansas, and before they mov
ed to Texas.
·Richard was next
married to Elizabeth Jones, Mary's sister.
Richard a
nd Elizabeth had
three children: Luke, Richard and Lige.
All three boys w
ere deceased and
left no descendants. Elizabeth Jones was
deceased by 18
51 (time of the
Old Settler Pay Roll). William Bankhead came to her hou
se that year and
told her he had gone by Fort Gibson and collected Elizabe
th Jane's and
John Blevins' money for them. They lived
in Fort Graham, Te
xas at this time.
·Richard moved to
Texas and died there.
Children of MARY
JONES and RICHARD BLEVINS are:
i. CYNTHIA5
BLEVINS, b. 1821.
ii. JOHN
BLEVINS, b. Abt. 1825.
iii. BOY
BLEVINS, b. 1827.
37. iv. ELIZABETH
JANE BLEVINS, b. 1830, Near Cape Girardeau, MO; d. 1858, Hill Co. TX.
22. ELIZABETH4 JONES (ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON,
CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born Abt. 1796 in South Carolina, and
died Aft. 1845 in Texas, I. T. or Carroll co. AR. She married RICHARD BLEVINS 1833 in Mo. AR or
Indian Territory. He was born 1785, and
died Bef. 1845 in Texas.
Notes for
ELIZABETH JONES:
I think Drury
Jones "took in" Elizabeth Jones Blevins boys.
They are listed
in the regiments with his sons in the civil
war as Cherokee. I do believe all died at a young age
due to the war or
just after the civil War.
Confusion comes
as to who is the mother of what
children of Dick
Blevins. Dick's grandchildren through
his son, Andrew
Jackson (by white wife) try to make
a claim to Guion
Miller. The grandchildren state their
grandmother was
Betsy Jones Blevins. I think they
were not trying
to lie but did believe this. All Betsy's sons
had died and
their grandmother was Betsy, too, but
she was Betsy
Arrington. By 1900s, I can see they
might believe
that she was Betsy Jones since she
died before any
of them were born.
Notes for RICHARD
BLEVINS:
Richard Blevins
is dead by 1845. he married a white
wife, then Mary Jone
s, and then
Elizabeth Jones. He had Elizabeth, John
and Cynthia by Mary.
Robbie
Kilgore--my grandmother, Edie Jane Bankhead Morrison, was born in I
ndian Territory
in 1893 and lived her short life (33
years) in and
around Chelsea. She was Cherokee. Her aunt is a
"Thompson"
- Eador Jane Bankhead Thompson, born about 1851 in Hill Count
y, Texas. Eador
Jane, and her brothers John and George (my ggrandfather) m
oved to Indian
Territory in 1887. Their mother was Cherokee. I have also s
een Eador Jane's
name on various documents as Edith and even Ada. She rais
ed my
grandmother. Robbie Kilgore

In addition to
the given name Armistead, shows frequent use of the given n
ame Squire. These names link this cluster because they
are unusual nam
es not found in
the post 1780 Blevins families of Virginia and North Carol
ina. Several Blevins
families moved into what was to become Carroll Coun
ty about 1832
from Missouri or Tennessee. Given names frequently used by t
his group but
rare in other Blevins families are Squire, Isham, Luke, Mart
in, Richard and
Armistead. Whether all of the Carroll
County Blevins fam
ilies descend
from one mid 18th century ancestor can not be answered by th
is writer.
It appears highly
likely that this Carroll County Blevins is descended fr
om one or more of
the Blevins families shown below as being in Montgome
ry County, VA in
the 1770's and in Buncombe County, NC in the 1790's. Pa
rt of those
families were in Wayne Co, KY by 1801and others
in Blount Cou
nty, TN by 1801.
The Carroll Co. Blevins are most likely descendants of Ri
chard Blevins who is first found in the 1777 Montgomery County,

There is much
that we do not know about these Blevins families shown list
ed on the 1840
Carroll County, Arkansas census. What we do know about the
se dozen families
found in the 1840 Carroll County Census is:
•Some, but not
all of these families claimed Indian blood.
(See discussi
on which follows)
•Some of the
older family members were born in Tennessee, but so
me in NC or VA
•Several appear
to have close ties with the Meek families that also arriv
ed in 1832
•Multiple Blevins
and Meek marriages occurred in Blount County, TN betwe
en 1800 and 1805.
•Several of this
Cluster were in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri in the 1
830 Census
•Many of these
families repeatedly used the given name Armistead
•These families
introduced the given names Squire and Isham to the fami
ly and used the
names Richard, Luke and Martin more frequently than oth
er Blevins
families.
•Several of these
families along with the Meek family moved to Texas begi
nning in 1846
•Several appear
on the 1832 and 1833 Izard County (AR Territory) tax li
st and then
appear on the 1834 Original Carroll County tax list.

There were th
en living in the
vicinity of Carrollton, Martin Standrige, his father 'Sh

Yellville, then
known as Shawneetown, joined this community about the sa
me time." An
article in Star Progress by B. F. Rose for the Carrollton Cen
tennial 1850-1860
states Goodspeed's information a little different, calli
ng the above
referenced community "a community of undesirable half-breed C
herokees",
and says "In 1839, a company of citizens was organized, kno
wn as
'Regulators' numbering about 30 members.
It's object was to suppre
ss stealing and
punish the miscreants of the half-breed community. Sever
al were whipped
and forced to leave the country. A few
who confessed a
nd promised to
reform were allowed to stay."
Goodspeed
continues "Jacob A. Meek came from Henry County, TN about 183
7, and settled on
Dry Creek. He was a member of the
Methodist Church. H

Jeremiah, and brothers, William, Joseph, and Samuel, followed h

Eastern Cherokee
Applications. In 1906 and 1907, over
48,000 descendan
ts of Eastern
Cherokees filed applications with the U.S. Court of Claims s
eeking funds
under a Supreme Court decree for descendants of the Cheroke
es who had been
forced to give up their homes in the 1830's, and move we
st to the
reservations in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Several descendants of R
ichard Blevins
filed such applications and I will excerpt one below whi
ch discusses the
Indian connection. Application # 7523 -
Morris Adki
ns of
Collinsville, Oklahoma, 1906. (s/o Wm. Adkins and wife Susan Coope
r, and grandson
of Isaac Cooper and wife Mahala Jane Blevins) This claim w
as rejected with
the government agent note that "it does not appear that a
ny ancestor was
enrolled either in 1835 or 1851. Nor
does it appear th
at any ancestors
were parties to the treaties of 1835-6 and 1846. Sever
al of applicant's

Disposition of
Morris Adkins Claim # 7523: REJECTED.
The claim, of the he
ad of this group
was rejected properly, for the reason that the grandmoth
er through whom
he claims, Mahala Jane Blevins, was enrolled as an "Old Se
ttler" in
1851 on the Non-resident Roll, Group 6.
"Some of the
other members of the group are claiming through Jack Blevin
s, who was a
relative of Mahala Jane Blevins, possibly her brother, b
ut as to this
there is some doubt. There is a John
Blevins enrolled on t
he Old Settler
Roll in 1851 among the Non-residents in group 4. (
It is to be noted
that this John Blevins is two groups removed from the Ma
hala Jane Blevins
above referenced to) and it is possible that this John B
levins is the
Jack Blevins through whom other members of this group are cl
aiming. This theory is given some support by the fact
that it appears th
at Jack Blevins
had a sister, Betsy Jane, and the name immediately followi
ng that of John
Blevins on the Roll and just before the name of Mahala Ja
ne Blevins, above
referred to, is "Betsy Jane Hendrick's child". The
re is also a John
Blevins on the Old Settler Roll in Delaware District, Gr
oup 1. No Blevins was enrolled with the Eastern
Cherokees in 1835 a
nd no Blevins was
enrolled on the Emigrant Cherokee Roll of 1851, whi
le a number of
Blevins, besides those enumerated, appear on the Old Settl
er Roll of
1851."
"The claim
is made that Jack Blevins was the son of Richard Blevins and Be
tsy Blevins, who
before marriage was Betsy Jones, and the assertion is ma
de that Betsy
Jones was a Cherokee Indian living in Tennessee in 1835....P
auline Hoggard,
application No. 30126, was a daughter of Jack Blevins a
nd she had a
brother Riley, and in her application she states that Riley B
levins was born
in 1835 or 36. Three of the children of
Riley Blevins ha
ve filed
applications, see numbers 39370, 40138 and 40139, in each of whi
ch the statement
is made that their father Riley, was born in Texas. Th
is would clearly
indicate that Jack Blevins was in the west at the ti
me of the treaty
of 1835-6.....Pauline Hoggard further states in her affid
avit...."I
was personally acquainted with Richard Blevins and family and k
new that he
married 'Polly and Betsy, two sisters and Cherokee Indian wom
en by
blood.' This was in 1836 when I was a
young child and living alo
ng the border
between the State of Arkansas and the Cherokee Nation."

·Richard Blevins
was first married to a white woman and had several child
ren. The names
she could remember were Armistead, William, Squire and Jack
.
·Next he was
married to Mary "Polly" Jones and had two children, John a
nd Elizabeth Jane
·Mary
"Polly" Jones died in the Nation (Oklahoma) - Richard, Mary and chi
ldren must have
lived there after they left Arkansas, and before they mov
ed to Texas.
·Richard was next
married to Elizabeth Jones, Mary's sister.
Richard a
nd Elizabeth had
three children: Luke, Richard and Lige.
All three boys w

told her he had gone by Fort Gibson and collected Elizabe
th Jane's and
John Blevins' money for them. They lived
in Fort Graham, Te

Notes for DAVID
JONES:
David Jones did
not get a reservation in 1817, as did James and Drury.
He was not 21
years of age. By 1828, he is married and has a wife.
He is listed in
Drury's list of his brothers and sisters as number 9.
I think he was
born around 1800-05.

26. ELIZABETH5 JONES (JAMES4, ELIZABETH3
WILKERSON, CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born 20 Aug 1820 in Tenn.,
and died 16 Jul 1906 in White Oak, Cooweescoowee District I.T. (Craig County,
Oklahoma. She married ANDREW WILLIAM
HAMPTON Abt. 1840 in Carroll Co. AR., son of JOEL HAMPTON and ELIZABETH
PAGE. He was born 1825 in Tenn., and
died Abt. 1863 in Missouri.
Notes for
ELIZABETH JONES:
Although her
headstone says she was 96 when she died, to the best of my
calculations from
various other sources she should have only been 86.
Also, from the
headstone transcription I received from Connie Schofield
as well as other
clues from various sources her death year would appear
to be 1906.
However, the book titled Births, Deaths and Marriages by
Dixie Woodard
says she died June 6, 1912 in Cherokee County.
She was
re-admitted to the Cherokee Nation (O klahoma) June 3rd 1888

Notes for ANDREW
WILLIAM HAMPTON:
Although her
headstone says she was 96 when she died, to the best of my
calculations from
various other sources she should have only been 86.
Also, from the
headstone transcription I received from Connie Schofield
as well as other
clues from various sources her death year would appear
to be 1906.
However, the book titled Births, Deaths and Marriages by
Dixie Woodard
says she died June 6, 1912 in Cherokee County.
She was
re-admitted to the Cherokee Nation (O klahoma) June 3rd 1888
1896 Enrollment,
page 178, #2266
1900 Enrollment
Dawes Roll Number - 7297/Dawes Census Card Number - 2908
The 1850 Carroll
Co. census lists Andrew under Richard. I
am sure it is
the same family.
Family story is
that Andrew was killed early in the Civil War, going to
enlist in Mo. or
after enlistment.
Definitely he is
not around after the War.
In 1900 andy
Hampton said his father was born in S. carolina...so
before Tenn. I
think they may have been is S. Carolina!
Children of
ELIZABETH JONES and ANDREW HAMPTON are:
38. i. MARTIN
R. HAMPTON6 JONES, b. 1842; d. 21 Feb 1875, Seneca, Mo. Newton County.

27. MARY5 JONES (JAMES4, ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON,
CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born 11 Sep 1821 in Tenn., and died 09
Jul 1892 in Near Fairland, Ok.. She
married WILLIAM WHITE Abt. 1840 in Mo. or Carroll County, Ar., son of WILLIAM
WHITE and UNKNOWN. He was born 1824 in
Missouri, and died Aft. 1860 in Probably Mo..
Notes for MARY
JONES:
Mary White was
called Polly. She was probably named for
Polly Jones Blevi
ns...wife of Old
Dick Blevins. Polly Blevins was Mary White's Aunt, sist
er to James
Jones. Polly said in her reenrollment
papers that she was al
so known as Nancy
Ward. This makes me wonder if Polly
Jones Blevins was n
ot named for the
famous Cherokee woman of peace, Nancy Ward.
Elizabeth Jo
nes said she was
also know as Elizabeth Wilkerson. This
is the name of Ja
mes Jones'
mother.
Polly White is on
the 1890 Cherokee Indian Census. She
lives near Sulph
ur Bend. She said she was 68 years old. Sherlyn Greaves said that the o
ld timers in Ok.
said where Polly White went Mary Standridge Jones wen
t. Mary STandridge Jones is alive in 1870. She can not be located in A
r. or MO. I think Polly White and Mary Standridge are
in Indian Territo
ry in 1870.
Elizabeth Hampton is still in Mo. in 1880.
I can not find ma
ny of the Frazier
family in 1870 or 1880. I think they are in Indian Terri
tory, also. Squire and Rhoda Blevins family are
completely absent from t
he 1870 U S
census. I think they are over near
Sulphur Bend, also. B
ut by 1880, all
Rhoda and Squire's living children are back in Carroll C
o. Ar. living
near Denver, Omaha, and Bear Creek, AR.
During the civil
War, I think mary White lived in southern MO. or
northwest
OK...near Sulphur Bend. Josiah said their house
was burned and
they had to go live at a military base.
It could
have been near
Springfield, Mo. or in I T. He said he
never had
any shoes until
he was 10 or 12 years old. He said during the
war they all took
small pox. Some of the children may have
died
because some did
die during the war. he said his mother
wrapped
their feet with
rags so they could walk. they surely had
a very
hard existence,
but presevered so more Whites are on the earth
today. If Mary had given up, many descendents would
not have
been born. William left her early in the war to go join
up with the
army. they don't
know which one...but I would guess Union since
some of his
brothers served the north. Anyway, he
was killed
before he even
got to join a unit.

Adeline Jones. (I think he had a child,
Green, but that ch
ild died. As Green is iwth him 1860, Carroll Co. AR
Census). (The Herod M
ary Jane White
married I do not think is Josiah as Mary Jane's Joel Eli Ha
rod was born
before, Josiah Harod married Delema Jones).
Ruth Atchison's

William, Isabel
l. Catherine Hurley is my brother William's

More About MARY
JONES:
Burial: Sulphur
Bend Cemetery, Ok.
Notes for WILLIAM
WHITE:
I once thought
William was the son of Charles
White...I was
mistaken...he is not his son. He
was born in MO.
and Charles was in Tenn. when
William was
born. Nathan White is his brother.
Children of MARY
JONES and WILLIAM WHITE are:
i. JOHN6
WHITE, b. 1840; d. Bef. 1870.
Notes for JOHN
WHITE:
Did not have any
children. John is on the old Settlers
Roll, but he is 18
60 Carroll
Co. He is old enough
to be away from
home, but since he never resurfaces, I think he is deceas
ed by 1860.
ii. ELIZABETH
WHITE, b. 1842; d. Aft. 1860.
Notes for
ELIZABETH WHITE:
Elizabeth D.
White is with her mother in 1860 Carroll Co. Barbara Ben
ge in her
research for Sherlyn Greaves lists no marriage for her.
iii. ILEANN
WHITE, b. 1844; d. Bef. 1891.
Notes for ILEANN
WHITE:
In 1850 IleAnn is
6 years old with William and Polly White in Carroll C
o. Ar.
Census. In 1860 Josiah Herrod is living
next door... there is an I
bby Ann Herod in
the family. Could this be Polly IleAnn
married to o
ne of the
Herrods. Josiah we know marries Delema
Jones soon after the 18
60 census.
Barbara Benge
shows no offspring for IleAnn.
41. iv. MARY
JANE WHITE, b. 17 Mar 1846; d. 14 Mar 1926, Ok. probably Delaware County.
v. SARAH
E. WHITE, b. 1849; d. Bef. 1860.
Notes for SARAH
E. WHITE:
Sarah is with the
family in 1850 and absent in 1860. I think she die
d. No offspring.
vi. WILLIAM
WHITE, b. 1854.
Notes for WILLIAM
WHITE:
William White is
with the family in 1860 Carroll Co. He is 6 years old. B
arbara Benge does
not mention him. I can not find him
in1890 I. Territor
y. I am supposing he died, also.

Notes for WILLIAM
JONES:
On
"Cherokee" Old Settlers Roll, was William Jones Jr. Emily Jones and
Thomas B. Jones
were half borther and sister to Martin Jackson Jones and
Adeline Jones.
Sally JOnes was
the mother of Thomas B Jones mother and was a
white women (not

Sister). Elizabeth Hampton said her brother was
married several times.
First wife was
the mother of Martin Jackson and Adilene Jones who are
with the James
Jones Family in 1850 Carroll Co. Ar. This woman is
probably dead by
1850 as she is not with the family. He married second
Sarah M. Gregg
(Blevins, who is a daughter of Squire and Rhoda). William
Jr. and
Emily and Thomas
B. are her children. William Jr. may

y. His second wife was Lillie ARmstrong , and
his 3rd wife was the wido
w, of Jack Jones
(Martin Jackson Jones)Mary Susan Carpenter Jones. Andy H
ampton had 5
children previous to his marriage. (so one can see that we st
ill have one
child missing, surely they died).
Emily Blevins was
once the wife of Buck Hampton (this is Henderson as I fo
und the marriage
in Boone Co. AR.) and their daughter is Alabama Hampto
n. (She is on the 1880 Boone Co. Census Ar.

previous to his marriage to Betsy.
Polly married
William White. He had no family before
this marriag
e. He is dead.
Then Sherlyn
says....Polly married Ben Hurley...but I think she is confus
ed and it should
say Catherine married Ben Hurley.
(Catherine would be Rh
oda Catherine
JOnes, daughter of William Jones and Sarah Margaret Blevins
.) We know from payment given out that Catherine
was then married to a Jo
hn J. Smith and
had 3 chidlren. Montezuma Smith, John
Smith and Eliza Smi
th. They are on
the 1890 Indian Terr. census. Catherine
Hurley has one ch
ild..Jansy. She is 15 or 16 and is married but they do
not know who she m
arried. They say Catherine Hurley is about 40 years
of age.
Then the notes
say...Polly White's first husband was Jimmy Jones. (th
is is Mary Jane
White, Polly white's daughter). He had
no children previo
us to this

of Polly White...s
he is a HALF

Wm White?)
James E. White
married a White woman. (He married Mary
A. Hampton Frazier
). She had a family previous to this

THOMAS JO
NES IS A HALF

BEFORE HER SECOND MARRIA

). Thomas Byrd is listed as such on the 1850

Betty)
Ruth Atchison is
the granddaughter of William Jones. Daughter of Joseph He

l.
Catherine Hurley
is my brother William's daughter. She
was once marri

Hurley. Hurley was a white man.
Notes for SARAH
M. BLEVINS:
Sarah Blevins is
living with her parents in 1850. She is
listed as Gregg
surname. Thomas Bird is listed below her, i think
Thomas Bird Gregg.
Sarah was
probably married to a son of Jacob Gregg who lived in Carroll
Co. and he is
dead by 1850...shortly after the census, Sarah married her
cousin, William
Jones. He is living with his parents
James and Mary
Standridge Jones
in 1850. He has two children and I think
his wife is
also dead. His children by the first wife are: Martin Jackson Jones
and Adeline
Delema Jones. Adeline married a Herrod.
Elizabeth Jones
Hampton's Cherokee enrollment papers say that Sallie
Jones, mother of
Rhoda, Emily, William Jr. and Thomas B.
was a white
woman....this
leads me to believe that Squire B. Blevins was white not
Indian.

BLEVINS:
There was a David
Blevins traveling with the Carroll Co. grou
p. He is in Cape Gir. and in Carroll Co. He may be the one that Sally ma
rried. he is dead by 1850. I think he would be a son of Richard Blevin

married to John Blevins who made a dep. for Drury and
lived near him in

remarried.

Notes for

Received the note
below from E. Flood Oct. 2001
re Alex and Mary
Elizabeth"Eliza"Jones Standridge
Standridge
marriage.
They probably had
their marriage recorded in
1869 in both
counties although married 1865,
because Alex Standridge was being appointed
guardian of the
three Martin W Standridge children
from the marriage
of Mary Elizabeth"Eliza"Jones
to Martin W
Standridge.
Remind me to scan
a copy of the marriage document
and mail later.

Notes for
JEREMIAH STANDRIDGE:
C. L. Boyd is not
sure who John F. Standridge belongs to.
He had
considered
several parents,
even a female
Standridge who might have had John before marriage. Evelyn
Flood said she
thought he belonged to Allen Standridge and Rhoda
Brassfield. She may be correct. He is in the correct neighborhood to be
their child. He is not listed in their family as a child
though. This
is a mystery.
1. Jeremiah "Jerry"3 Standridge (John Wesley2, Alexander1) was
born December 25,
1834 in Carroll County, Arkansas, and died February 23,
1917 in Richland
Township, Newton County, Arkansas. He
married (1) Nancy
Cagle March 15,
1856 in Pope County, Arkansas, daughter
of Henry Cagle
and Martha
Unknown. She was born 1837 in Warren
County, Tenneessee, and
died October 20,
1880 in Americus, Lyon County, Kansas.
He married (2)
Telitha J.
"Dett" (twin) Jones February 27, 1881 in Pope County,
Arkansas,
daughter of John Jones and Alafair/Alipher.
She was born 1844
in Richland

Richland

married (3) Rhoda Harris
September 29,
1889 in Quincy, Newton County, Arkansas,
daughter of John
Harris. She was born January 05, 1861 in Alabama, and
died August 26,
1942 in Van Buren
County, Arkansas.
Notes for
Jeremiah "Jerry" Standridge:
Jerry was
inlisted in Company C.1st. Arkansas Infanty. Volunteers, Union
At Fayetteville,
Arkansas, on February 12, 1863, and he was discharged on
August 10, 1865,
at Ft. Smith Arkansas. He was six feet ,
three inches
tall. gray eyes, hair was dark and his complexion
was dark. During the
Civil War Jerry's
Military records shows him as deserted and absent on
detached service
with a Captain Vanderpool . During the
Civil War,
Jerry's Militay
records show him as a deserter & absent on detached
service with the
Captain Vanderpool, for the same period of time. It
could be due to a
differene in or philosophy in the person who took the
roll or it could
have just been a mass confusion.

I am not
aquainted with the applicants, I was acquainred with Dick and
Polly Blevins.
Polly Blevins, nee Jones, was my father's sister. Polly
Blevins, when she
was a Jones lived in this county on Stoney Creek. She
is now dead. I do
not know how long she has been dead. Dick blevins had t
wo of my father's
sisters for wives at different times.My father lived he
re in the Nation
and on White River, AR. He died there. Polly Blevins
Blevins was dead
at the time of the Old Settler payment in 1851. I don't
know whether the
children of Polly blevins drew (more?) in 1851 or not b
ut William
Bamkhead came by my house afterwarss and had money and said th
at he had come by
Ft Gibson and drew their money (ie) the money of
Elizabeth Jane
(Blevins) Bankhead and John Blevins, children of Polly
Blevins,
deseased.
Cross Eamination:
My Aunt, Polly
Jones was the second wife of Dick blevins. I don't recolle
ct the first name
of the first wife of Dick blevins. The first
Jones wife was
Polly and the enxt Betsy, of the Jones family. Betsy left
three children,
they are all dead I understand and all died with out issue
s. Elizabeth
Bankhead has (seven?) children previous to the Old Settlers p
ayment in 1851, I
don"t know how many. Dick blevins children
by Betsy Jones,
above, I know died after the Old Settler payment in 185
1. The maes of
Betsy's children were: Luke, Dick, and Lige Blevins.
I don't recollect
these children were born previous to the Old Settler pay
ent in 1951 or
not.
Dick blevins was
a white man, he had a family. He had a family before he m
arried into the
Jones family above spoken. I don"t know how many childr
en he had then,
but ( ?) 4 or 5, one was names Armstead, one was
William and one
was named Squire and I thin on names "Jack" Blevins
(Andrew Jackson
?). these were all white children by Dick Blevens' white
wife. Dick
Blevens was living in TX at the time of the Old Settler payme
nt in 1851. John
blevins was a full brother of Elizabeth (Jane)
Bankhead and the
children of Dick Blevins by Polly Jones, my father. I don
"t know
wheather and other Bankheads ever married in the family pf
Dick Blevins.
William Bankhead and Betsy (Elizabeth) Jane, his wife,
I understand are
dead.

From
Betty--Elizabeth may have been called Mahala, also. I am not sur
e. I think she was dead by 1860.
Notes for WILLIAM
C. BANKHEAD:
From
Rootsweb--William Christel Bankhead, first child of his father's seco
nd marriage, was
undoubtedly born in Shelby County, Tennessee, where the f
amily lived for
those years before beginning their migration to the Tex
as frontier,
which they gained in 1834. Here, in Washington County, Richa
rd Bankhead
applied for a First Class Land Grant from the Republic of Mexi
co, to be located
in Walker and San Jacinto Counties, only to meet his dea
th there in 1835
before approval of the surveyed properties could be made.
Richard Bankhead and Sarah L. Nobles married
January 13,1827 in Lawren
ce
Co.,Alabama. Sarah Leah (Nobles)
Bankhead, courageously held the fami
ly together, even
through the awful days which followed, as the "Texian
s" fought
desperately for their freedom from the despotic Mexican rule. G
eorge A. LAMB 1
Sex: M
Birth: 14 OCT
1814 in Laurens District, South Carolina
Death: 21 APR 1836
in SanJacinto,Texas
Note: Orphaned as
a child George made his home with the Bankhead's and acc
ompanied one of
the sons,Richard, to Texas in 1834.There they establish
ed a farm in the
western part of what is now Walker County. When Richard d
ied,George
remained to care for his family. George married Richard's widow
,Sarah,on June
27,1835,and adopted his two young children. He joined Cap
t. William Ware's
Company D of Col. Sidney Sherman's Second Regiment,Tex
as Volunteers,on
March 12,1836,and was elected lieutenant. He was kill
ed in action at
the "Battle of San Jacinto". Lamb County was named in h
is honor in 1876.
Johnathan McGary was administrator of Lamb's estate. McG
ary was to become
Sarah's 3rd husband. Sarah,petitioned the court for h
er husband's
No.225 head right claim,which was granted to his heirs throu
gh the appearance
of Johnathan A. McGary,administrator-in-trust for the es
tate,before the
Law Commissioners of Montgomery,Texas,March 1,1838.
Sarah was also
granted the head right claim for her 2nd husband Geor
ge A. Lamb,who
died at the Battle of San Jacinto April 21,1836. He w
as 1 of 6 men
killed in that battle.
William Christel
grew to young manhood in Walker County, Texas, truly a TE
XAS PIONEER.
Prior to July 1845,
we find William with his half brother,Richard,and the
ir Uncle George
Winn Bankhead, conducting a search for land through sever
al yet-to-be
formed counties of Texas,going as far north as present day Pa
lo Pinto County,
where their names are recorded by Thomas William Wa
rd in the Peter's
Colony Venture. However, no patents were issued here f
or their
certificates, for Limestone County would seem to have been the ch
oice of all three
men, as we find Richard and George Bankhead on the tax r
olls there as
early as 1847. William's application for a Third Class Gra
nt (640 acres for

Bankhead moved his family to their permanent locati

38. MARTIN R. HAMPTON6 JONES (ELIZABETH5, JAMES4,
ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON, CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born 1842, and
died 21 Feb 1875 in Seneca, Mo. Newton County.
He married FRANCES ANN WITHERSPOON 16 Oct 1865 in Carroll Co. Ar.?,
daughter of HOYLE WITHERSPOON and MARY CARPENTER. She was born 26 Sep 1846 in Catawba County,
NC, and died 15 Oct 1928 in Denver, AR. Carroll County.
Notes for MARTIN
R. HAMPTON JONES:
I spent several
weeks at the first of June researching the Martin Jones
of Carroll Co.
Ar. with the help of Fleta Aday and
Sherlyn Greaves, I
figured out that
Martin R. Hampton, Elizabeth first child, was a Jones.
She did not marry
Andrew Hampton until after Martin was born.
He always
went by
Jones. Martin Jackson Jones was the son
of William Jones,
Elizabeth
Hampton's brother. Also, there was a
Martin Jones that was
their brother,
who is Sherlyn's ancestor. He died in
the Civil War and
married Jamina
Roberts, sister to Sarah Roberts, who married Luke
Henderson Blevins
and then to Jacob High. I am proud to
have the 3
Martin Jones of
Carroll Co. sorted out. I actually do
not know which of
Martin was
married to Lucy Unknown, but I think it was Elizabeth
Hampton's
Martin. According to her Indian Records,
he only had the kids
by Fannie
Witherspoon. Fannie's mother was a
brother to Betty Renfroe's
and Fleta
Aday's Great (many) Grandfather William
Wesley Carpenter.
Martin Jackson
Jones married Wm. Wesley Carpenter's daughter Mary Susan
Carpenter. These families had to live in the area of
Burlington-Omaha
Arkansas at this
time.
Martin Jones born
1842 died Feb. 21, 1875 Seneca, Newton MO married
Frances Ann
Witherspoon Oct. 16, 1865 in Green Co. MO she was born about
1847 died Oct.
15, 1928 in Denver, Carroll, AR , Frances parents were
Hyle (Hoyle)
Brown Witherspoon and Polly (Mary)
Carpenter, children
Theodore, Mary
Elizabeth, Caldona and Margaret Charlotte Jones. I do have
all the names of
Frances Ann Witherspoon sisters and brothers if you want
them. Just ran
across this and thought you might want it. Sherlyn
Sept. 2003--A
Buck Hampton was murdered in Stone Co. Mo. before 1880.
George W. Flippo
and his brother were indicted for the murder.
Martin
Hampton Jones
went by both Hampton and Jones. His
mother Elizabeth
Hampton was not
married to Andrew Hampton at his birth so sometimes he
used the name
Hampton, but at other times he used Jones. She called him
Martin Hampton
Jones on her Reenrollment papers.
Martin's nickname was
Buck. Some researchers have Martin and Buck listed.
I think they are the
same man. I think the Buck Hampton murdered is this
one.

Notes for ANDREW
W. HAMPTON:
Andrew Hampton
says in 1900...that he thinks his father was born in Sou
th
Carolina...which may not be correct, but it makes me thinks that Joel H
ampton was from
South Carolina.
In 1880 I found
Andrew Hampton in Joplin, Jasper Co. MO.
He is living
with his mother
and 2 kids with no wife. These two
belong to
Marinda...if that
is his first wives name.
Andrew Hamption
35 born in IN. Terr. says his mother was born there too
Elizabeth Hampton
65 says she was born in In. Terr.
William Hampton 8
In. Terr.
Mattie 3 born in
Mo. they say they do not know where her
mother was born.
It says Andrew is
a smelter of lead.

ip on the 27th
day of September 1883, by the Commission an Citizensh
ip of the

Notes for MARY
JANE WHITE:
Sulphur Bend
Cemetery records say Mary J. Jones died
at the age of 80
in 1926. It says Polly sharp is her daughter
so I know this is
her. Says she died of Nitro regurgitation?
What is that.
Jerry Boyd
said ether was used in dental work and
surgery
and mary jane
White Jones was probably having a surgery
when she died. Jo
Conner could
remember Aunt
Mary Jane coming to her house to visit. she
remembered her
helping peel peaches and her peeling them
as thin as
paper. She said Aunt Mary had a son
named Mont
Smith...so I am
correct that the 3 smith kids are
Mary's.

Kathleen Davis
Sulphur Bend
Cemetery has a Mary J. Jones 1846-1926
Found Mary J.
Jones with husband George B. Jones in 1900.
She has 2 Smi
th children in
her household....Eliza and John N. These
are her childr
en by Mr.
Smith. There is an Oscar Jones in the
home and it says he is th
eir son. Eli Hearod lives next door...Monte Smith is
with him and it sa
ys Monte is Eli's
half brother. Then in Mary's home their
is a Henry Brad
ley and it says
he is George Jones' step nephew. So I
think he is the s
on of Mary's
sister....which one I do not know.
Well, Jerry Boyd
has investigated this and says the census says Henry E. B
radley and
she is a
female...he thinks henrietta Bradley.
Was Mary Jane marri
ed to Henry
Bradley
in 1888 and this
is her daughter? Jerry says it says she
is George's st
ep daughter not
nephew?
From Jerry
7/27/07
Dawes roll for
her son John Smith indicated that her husband's name was al
so John Smith.
On your website
you list finding her in Indian Territory in 1900 with Geor
ge B Jones, with
John, Eliza and Oscar.
You indicate that
the Henry E. Bradley is a step-nephew.
I have checked
census through two different sources and the Henry is mark
ed as a female
born in Nov. 1888 and it looks like step-daughter not nephe
w. Her father was listed from England. Could Henry E. be Henrietta.
Do you suppose
Mary J. had another husband?
here is the Henry
he is talking about in 1900...
The 1900 Census
for the Indian Territory does show a Henry Bradley born 18
50 in Canada

SMITH

W OK OK
DELAWARE 5-TWP 1910
Found Mary J. in
Ok. 1900 married to George Jones. Found
her in 1910 Dela
ware Co. OK
living with her son John age 29. His
wife Martha (26) childre
n: Irene, Dorie (Dovie?) and Elizabeth aged 6, 4
and 2 months. Mary J. J
ones is 65.
Barbara Benge
said she received Old Settler's payment
pag. 54, 55, 56 19
6, and 197 in
Fairland Ar. I think she is on the 1890 Indian Census.
One source thinks
that Mary married a Herod first...this could be Josiah
's brother she
could ahve. Then she married a Smith and
lastly was marri
ed to George B.
Jones. Another source says she married a
Sellers. I fou
nd a Mary Jane
Sellers on the 1890 I. Territory census..directly after Pol
ly White. Head of her household is Joel Eli Herod. He is 22 and Ma
ry is 43. This may be Mary Jane as she is next door to
mother, Polly a
nd has a Herod
son. There are 3 smith children living
her: Montezuma, J
ohn, and
Eliza. These 3 chidlren are the children
of Rhoda Catherine Jon
es and John J.
Smith I think.
In 1860 Carroll
County, Josiah Herod has a James Herod in his househol
d. This could be the Herod she married...Joel
Eli is 22 in 1890. His bir
th falling about
1868. Delema was alive so that
eliminated Josiah as bei
ng the one Mary
married. Unless they seperated.
Sherlyn Greaves
read the reenrollment statements and sent me these commen
ts in 2001.
Thomas Jones has
8 children:
William 21
Artella 18
Leroy 16
John 14
Hattie 8
Patsy 6
Henderson 4
Joel 3
Thomas Jones
married Anna Hampton.
Andy Hampton had
3 children by his first wife (we can only account for W
m. C. and Mattie
Jane. His first wife was ??? (maybe
Marinda) Huckleb
y. His second wife was Lillie ARmstrong , and
his 3rd wife was the wido
w, of Jack Jones
(Martin Jackson Jones)Mary Susan Carpenter Jones. Andy H
ampton had 5
children previous to his marriage. (so one can see that we st
ill have one
child missing, surely they died).
Emily Blevins was
once the wife of Buck Hampton (this is Henderson as I fo
und the marriage
in Boone Co. AR.) and their daughter is Alabama Hampto
n. (She is on the 1880 Boone Co. Census Ar.
livng with ELizabeth Cary. E
lizabeth is her
sister). Emily Blevins is a white
woman.
Sarah Blaylock is
the daughter of Martin Jones, son of James JOnes. Jam
es JOnes wife was
Mary Standridge. She was a white
woman. James Jon
es was living in
Carroll Co. Ar. 15 years before he died.
Betsy Jones w
as James Jones
daughter. Betsy married Andy
Hampton. he was a white man.
He had no family
previous to his marriage to Betsy.
Polly married
William White. He had no family before
this marriag
e. He is dead.
Then Sherlyn
says....Polly married Ben Hurley...but I think she is confus
ed and it should
say Catherine married Ben Hurley.
(Catherine would be Rh
oda Catherine
JOnes, daughter of William Jones and Sarah Margaret Blevins
.) We know from payment given out that Catherine
was then married to a Jo
hn J. Smith. Montezuma Smith, John Smith and Eliza Smith
are living iw
th Catherine and
John Smith in 1890 I. T, but they are also listed with Ma
ry Jane Sellers
(Mary Jane White?). They are on the 1890 Indian Terr. cens
us. Catherine Hurley has one child..Jansy. She is 15 or 16 and is marri
ed but they do
not know who she married. They say
Catherine Hurley is abo
ut 40 years of
age.
Then the notes
say...Polly White's first husband was Jimmy Jones. (th
is is Mary Jane
White, Polly white's daughter, but I wonder if it should n
ot say Margaret
White's first husband was Jimmy JOnes?).
He had no childr
en previous to
this marriage. Margaret JOnes is the
daughtef of Polly Whi
te...she is a
HALF SISTER to Josiah White (What does this mean? Is Josi
ah White not a
child of Wm White or Margaret is not the child of Wm. Whit?
????)
James E. White
married a White woman. (He married Mary
A. Hampton Frazier
). She had a family previous to this
marriage: the oldest is Eli Frazie
r, then Susan,
and Enoch Frazier. Then James E. White
has 2 children by M
ary A. Frazier
White: William and Josiah White. (they
are with him in 18
90 I. T.
Census).
Adeline Jones is
the daughter of William Jones and granddaughter of Jam
es Jones. She married Josiah Herrod, a white man. She had no family prev
ious to this
marriage. These are the children she
names for Delema Adeli
ne Jones
Herrod: Joseph, Elizabeth, and William.
They are 21, 14, a
nd 16
respectfully.
Thomas JOnes is
the son of Wm Jones and grandson of James Jones. He marri
ed Anna Hampton.
She had no children previous to this marriage.
THOMAS JO
NES IS A HALF
BROTHER TO EMILY JONES. I KNEW THOMAS
JONES' MOTHER SALL
Y. I DO NOT KNOW IF SHE HAD ANY CHILDREN
BEFORE HER SECOND MARRIA
GE TO WILLIAM
JONES. ( Sarah Margaret Blevins is
Thomas Byrd Jones mothe
r. She is the daughter of Squire Blackie
Blevins and Rhoda Standridge
). Thomas Byrd is listed as such on the 1850
census. Sarah and Thomas a
re living in
Carroll Co. Ar. with Sq. and Rhoda.
William Jones lives ne
xt door with his
parents and two kids...Martin Jackson Jones and Delema Ad
eline Jones. Sarah is listed with the last name of Gregg
or Grigg. She h
as not
husband. Thomas is listed as her
child. I personally do not beli
eve that Wm.
Jones is his father...only my opinion.
Betty)
Ruth Atchison is
the granddaughter of William Jones. Daughter of Joseph He
rrod, a white
man. Joseph Herod had not children
living at the time of h
is marriage to
Adeline Jones. (I think he had a child,
Green, but that ch
ild died. As Green is iwth him 1860, Carroll Co. AR
Census).
Ruth Atchison's
brothers and sisters are: Joseph, Eliza,
William, Isabel
l. Catherine Hurley is my brother William's
daughter. She was once marri
ed to Ben
Hurley. Hurley was a white man.
More email from
jerry Boyd July 2007
Martha Hampton
was Joel T. Hampton's daughter and John (Tobe) Smith was Ma
ry J. White
Jones's son.
Figured out the
other day that Joel T. Hampton was a cousin of Leroy Jone
s, through his
aunt Ann Hampton Jones. His daughter
Lucy Loo Hampton Marr
ied John
Snowden. Their daughter, Nora Snowden
married William Andrew Jo
nes, son of Leroy
Jones.
The Jones, White
and Hampton families are really entwined.
Hard to keep t
rack of how
people are related.

as his kids!
Josiah Herrod is
living a few pages away aged 54 says he is ad. White mean
ing he was
married to a Cherokee which was Delema Jones
March 29,
2004--Kathleen sent Joel Eli Herrod's Indian Appl. to add his wi
fe in 1900...he
says his father is Josiah Herrod/Hearod/Herod who died abo
ut 5 years ago
(1895). So this is the same Josiah Herrod who was marri
ed to Delema
Jones. In 1868, when Joel Herrod was
born, Josiah is still m
arried to
Delema...but I suppose he had a child with Mary Jane Whit
e. I do not think they were married. Mary Jane White had children with s
everal last names: Herrod, Smith, Brown, and maybe Bradley and
Jones.

Notes for JOHN
SMITH:
In 1890, this
Smith is living with Rhoda Catherine Jones Hurley.
I think he and
Mary Jane split up and he married Rhoda Catherine.
Notes for
JOSEPHUS BROWN:
I suspect that
Mary Jane White was married to Josephus Brown
after his first
and second wife died...and Polly would be
a half sister to
all Josephus kids.
Cause of death:
Consumption
Joseph was married
to a Mary J. after Eliza Hampton!

Who is this?
The rape of
Rachel was supposed to have taken place in Mo. near
Springfield. She
was deaf and blind. The lore hands down that Joe
killed the man
and loaded his family and headed south with only his
wagon and
team. Next census, we find Joe in the
Magazine Mts. of Yell C
o. AR and it does
support the lore history as a young baby is iwth the fam
ily. Rachel was staying with a woman who had a
child, the husband raped h
er was the story.
Joe took his revenge and left with his family. Eliza w
as already dead.
She may have had TB as others in the family go it. Sin
ce Charles in 5

son.
There is a Henry
Bradley living with the family and it says step neph
ew or something
by his name. He was born in Nov. of 1888.
John Smith and
Eliza are with the family. They are Mary Jane's kids.
Next door is her
oldest son. Joel Eli Herrod (hearod) born Feb. 1868
his wife Ida Jane
born june 1876
Montie Smith is
living with them and it says Montie is his half brother.
I do not think
George Jones is of our Jones family. Sherlyn Greaves
said there were
two Jones families in this area and they were not

y. His second wife was Lillie ARmstrong , and
his 3rd wife was the wido
w, of Jack Jones
(Martin Jackson Jones)Mary Susan Carpenter Jones. Andy H
ampton had 5
children previous to his marriage. (so one can see that we st
ill have one
child missing, surely they died).
Emily Blevins was
once the wife of Buck Hampton (this is Henderson as I fo
und the marriage
in Boone Co. AR.) and their daughter is Alabama Hampto
n. (She is on the 1880 Boone Co. Census Ar.
livng with ELizabeth Cary. E
lizabeth is her
sister). Emily Blevins is a white
woman.
Sarah Blaylock is

as James Jones
daughter. Betsy married Andy
Hampton. he was a white man.
He had no family
previous to his marriage to Betsy.
Polly married
William White. He had no family before
this marriag
e. He is dead.
Then Sherlyn
says....Polly married Ben Hurley...but I think she is confus
ed and it should
say Catherine married Ben Hurley. (Catherine would be Rh
oda Catherine
JOnes, daughter of William Jones and Sarah Margaret Blevins
.) We know from payment given out that Catherine
was then married to a Jo
hn J. Smith and
had 3 chidlren. Montezuma Smith, John
Smith and Eliza Smi
th. They are on
the 1890 Indian Terr. census. Catherine
Hurley has one ch
ild..Jansy. She is 15 or 16 and is married but they do
not know who she m
arried. They say Catherine Hurley is about 40 years
of age.
Then the notes
say...Polly White's first husband was Jimmy Jones. (th
is is Mary Jane
White, Polly white's daughter). He had
no children previo
us to this
marriage. Margaret JOnes is the daughtef
of Polly White...s
he is a HALF
SISTER to Josiah White (What does this mean?
Is Josiah Whi
te not a child of
Wm White?)
James E. White
married a White woman. (He married Mary
A. Hampton Frazier
). She had a family previous to this
marriage: the oldest is Eli Frazie
r, then Susan,
and Enoch Frazier. Then James E. White
has 2 children by M
ary A. Frazier
White: William and Josiah White. (they
are with him in 18

Adeline Jones is
the daughter of William Jones and granddaughter of Jam
es Jones. She married Josiah Herrod, a white man. She had no family prev

respectfully.
Thomas JOnes is
the son of Wm Jones and grandson of James Jones. He marri
ed Anna Hampton.
She had no children previous to this marriage.
THOMAS JO
NES IS A HALF
BROTHER TO EMILY JONES. I KNEW THOMAS
JONES' MOTHER SALL
Y. I DO NOT KNOW IF SHE HAD ANY CHILDREN
BEFORE HER SECOND MARRIA
GE TO WILLIAM
JONES. ( Sarah Margaret Blevins is
Thomas Byrd Jones mothe
r. She is the daughter of Squire Blackie
Blevins and Rhoda Standridge
). Thomas Byrd is listed as such on the 1850
census. Sarah and Thomas a
re living in
Carroll Co. Ar. with Sq. and Rhoda.
William Jones lives ne
xt door with his parents
and two kids...Martin Jackson Jones and Delema Ad
eline Jones. Sarah is listed with the last name of Gregg
or Grigg. She h
as not
husband. Thomas is listed as her
child. I personally do not beli
eve that Wm.
Jones is his father...only my opinion.
Betty)
Ruth Atchison is
the granddaughter of William Jones. Daughter of Joseph He
rrod, a white
man. Joseph Herod had not children
living at the time of h
is marriage to

Green, but that ch

Census).
Ruth Atchison's
brothers and sisters are: Joseph, Eliza,
William, Isabel
l. Catherine Hurley is my brother William's

Indian App. th
at his first wife
is Mary A. White and they are divorced.
She is aliv
e. He has he only has one other child living
other than the 3 by Nancy Fr

Notes for MARY A.
HAMPTON:

This is from a
Frazier desc.
Not much known
about Mary A Hampton, except that Mary A Hampton was marri

a Williams and a James Erwin White. Mary
Hampton di
ed a Doughertery,
and is buried in Sulphur Bend Cementary, Fairland, OK
She and James
married is recorded in the William Newton Estes,1826 fami
ly bible. Wonder if she and James White had two sons,
Joe Silas and Willi
am Harland white
before they seperated/divorced. Was
Mararet E. White al
so a daughter of
James and Mary. b 4 april 1874, died 4. feb 1875. Same f

43. MARGARET M.6 WHITE (MARY5 JONES, JAMES4,
ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON, CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born 1857, and
died 1888 in Ok.. She married (1) JAMES
JOEL? JONES Bef. 1875. She married (2)
JOHN WILLIAM LAMAR Abt. 1878. He was
born 13 Sep 1853 in Al. or Ind. Terr., and died 09 Feb 1880 in Near Afton, OK.
Notes for
MARGARET M. WHITE:
Barbara Benge
says she married first a Jones and then she married Jam
es R. Lamar. She married the Jones before 1875. She married James R. Lam
ar in 1879. She died after 1880, but before 1894.
There is a
Margaret Jones buried at S. Bend Cemetery...Jan. 11, 1855 di
ed April 24,
1888.
This is Margaret the record says she died in child
birth and that Hool
ey C.
White was her
nephew. It says she was 33 when she died.
In the Polly
White Betsy Hampton reenrollment application...they state: J
ames Joel Jones
is the son of Margaret Jones ...now dead. This paper is da
ted Dec. 8
1886.
Also buried in S.
Bend is Joel J. Jones Sept. 13, 1876 died July 13, 189
5. This may be James Joel Jones, son of
Margaret? He is not Thomas B. Jo
nes' son.
There is a Joel
Jones born Jan. 1, 1847 and died FEb. 9, 1876 buried there
...could this be
the Jones that Margaret was married to?
Sherlyn Greaves

THOMAS JO
NES IS A HALF
BROTHER TO EMILY JONES. I KNEW THOMAS

Y. I DO NOT KNOW IF SHE HAD ANY CHILDREN
BEFORE HER SECOND MARRIA
GE TO WILLIAM
JONES. ( Sarah Margaret Blevins is
Thomas Byrd Jones mothe
r. She is the daughter of Squire Blackie Blevins
and Rhoda Standridge
). Thomas Byrd is listed as such on the 1850

re living in
Carroll Co. Ar. with Sq. and Rhoda.
William Jones lives ne
xt door with his
parents and two kids...Martin Jackson Jones and Delema Ad
eline Jones. Sarah is listed with the last name of Gregg
or Grigg. She h
as no

child. I personally do not beli
eve that Wm.

Betty)
Ruth Atchison is
the granddaughter of William Jones. Daughter of Joseph He
rrod, a white
man. Joseph Herod had no children living
at the time of h
is marriage to
Adeline Jones. (I think he had a child,
Green, but that ch
ild died. As Green is iwth him 1860, Carroll Co. AR
Census).
Ruth Atchison's
brothers and sisters are: Joseph, Eliza,
William, Isabel
l. Catherine Hurley is my brother William's

Notes for JAMES
JOEL? JONES:
I think this
Jones that margaret married is a
descendent of
Drury Jones. She lived in a
different town
than Fairland. She died in
childbirth.
Notes for JOHN
WILLIAM LAMAR:
Note from
interested party:
I am trying to
find info on my g-g-grandfather, James Russell Lamar, bo
rn Oct. 13, 1829,
possibly in DeKalb County, Ala. He married (Mary?) Eliza
beth Paden. They
had several children, one of which was my g-grandmothe
r, Martha
Elizabeth Lamar. They lived in Indian Territory, and that was wh
ere Martha was
born. We have always been told that Martha was full blood
ed Cherokee.
James father might have been Thomas Fletcher Lamar, and his m
other, either
Mary Ellis or Sophie Riddle. Any help will be greatly apprec
iated.
One of the James
Lamars that you asked about was born in Pendleton, SC abo
ut 1800 and
married Sarah Vann-Nicholson Jul. 1, 1835 in St. Clair Count
y, AL. His father
was Thomas Lamar and his mother's name was Mary.
My gg
grandfather, also James Russell Lamar, married my gg grandmoth
er in De Kalb Co,
AL. She was Cherokee, and her name was Mary Elizabeth Pa
den.

Notes for JOSIAH
WHITE:
Also known as
Josiah White.
July 22, 2007, I
visited with Joe White's daughter. she lives in
Newport News, Va.
and was born in 1916. She said she grew
up poor...but Joe
white was a good man..known to be one who
kept his
word. When he said he would do something
he did his
best to keep his
word. She said her father was a tall
man. she
used the word
raw-boned to describe him...meaning he was
large boned but
thin. She spoke of a man she loved. I
notice
she was only 20
when he died. She said her mother was
the fussy type
(mine was too). Her mother wanted her
daughters
to do things as
she did...like when they were canning, sewing,
doing
laundry. Mine did too. but she could
recall her father
saying..leave the girl be ...and let her do the chore her
own way.
She said with 11
children they were so very poor. She could
recall snow on
the blanket in the winter when she woke. She
was the 10th of
11 children! Speaking to Jo brought Ida
and
Joe White alive
to me. They are not names written
here...but
real people who
lived and toiled to raise 11 children to attest
that they were
here on this earth!!!

Joe White told
his daughter that during the Civil War Polly Jones White to
ok them to a Army
base and they stayed there until the end of the war.
It might have
been in OK as there were some there or it could have be
en in
Springfield, MO. I don't think Polly
White was in AR after the Civ
il War...so I
have been thinking it was over in OK in the Cherokee Natio
n, but it could
have been in MO. Joe White said they had
no shoes and Pol
ly wrapped their
feet in rags in the winter. They nearly starved to deat
h. His father
left to join forces of in the War and never came back. Perha
ps a neighbor
told them he was killed. Some of the Jones boys were in t
he Cherokee Mt.

Thomas Jones has
8 children:

Artella 18
Leroy 16
John 14
Hattie 8
Patsy 6
Henderson 4
Joel 3
Thomas Jones
married Anna Hampton.
Andy Hampton had
3 children by his first wife (we can only account for W
m. C. and Mattie
Jane. His first wife was ??? (maybe
Marinda) Huckleb
y. His second wife was Lillie ARmstrong , and
his 3rd wife was the wido
w, of Jack Jones
(Martin Jackson Jones)Mary Susan Carpenter Jones. Andy H
ampton had 5
children previous to his marriage. (so one can see that we st
ill have one
child missing, surely they died).
Emily Blevins was
once the wife of Buck Hampton (this is Henderson as I fo
und the marriage
in Boone Co. AR.) and their daughter is Alabama Hampto
n. (She is on the 1880 Boone Co. Census Ar.
livng with ELizabeth Cary. E

He had no family
previous to his marriage to Betsy.
Polly married
William White. He had no family before
this marriag
e. He is dead.
Then Sherlyn
says....Polly married Ben Hurley...but I think she is confus
ed and it should
say Catherine married Ben Hurley.
(Catherine would be Rh
oda Catherine
JOnes, daughter of William Jones and Sarah Margaret Blevins
.) We know from payment given out that Catherine
was then married to a Jo
hn J. Smith and
had 3 chidlren. Montezuma Smith, John
Smith and Eliza Smi
th. They are on
the 1890 Indian Terr. census. Catherine
Hurley has one ch
ild..Jansy. She is 15 or 16 and is married but they do
not know who she m
arried. They say Catherine Hurley is about 40 years
of age.
Then the notes
say...Polly White's first husband was Jimmy Jones. (th
is is Mary Jane
White, Polly white's daughter). He had
no children previo
us to this
marriage. Margaret JOnes is the daughtef
of Polly White...s
he is a HALF
SISTER to Josiah White (What does this mean?
Is Josiah Whi

Wm White?)
James E. White
married a White woman. (He married Mary

es Jones. She married Josiah Herrod, a white man. She had no family prev
ious to this

as not
husband. Thomas is listed as her child. I personally do not beli
eve that Wm.
Jones is his father...only my opinion.
Betty)
Ruth Atchison is
the granddaughter of William Jones. Daughter of Joseph He
rrod, a white
man. Joseph Herod had not children
living at the time of h
is marriage to
Adeline Jones. (I think he had a child,
Green, but that ch
ild died. As Green is iwth him 1860, Carroll Co. AR
Census).
Ruth Atchison's
brothers and sisters are: Joseph, Eliza,
William, Isabel
l. Catherine Hurley is my brother William's

Burial: Sulphur

Notes for JOSEPH.
S. HEAROD:
Joseph was a
farmer
Joseph Herrod is
next door neighbors to Mary Jones White in 1860, Carroll
Co. Ar. He is listed as a Widower. Adeline is living nearby with her
Grandmother Mary
Jones and her brother Martin Jones.
Joseph is 25 and
was born in Tenn. He is listed as a
widower so he has
been married and
his wife has died. This census puts his
birth at 1835.
Later he and
Adeline or Delema as she was called moved to Stone Co. Mo.
There is a son
with him on the census named Green. He
is a baby. Then
there is an Ibby
Herrod, 16; James
M. 28; Polly 19; and James 4. Some of
these are surely
his brothers and
sisters.
We do not know
the name of Delema's mother, but we feel that this person w
as of Indian
blood not white.

Jones. In 1868, when Joel Herrod was
born, Josiah is still m
arried to
Delema...but I suppose he had a child with Mary Jane Whit
e. I do not think they were married. Mary Jane White had children with s

Notes for THOMAS
BIRD JONES:
On the 1850
Carroll Co. Census, Thomas B. JOnes is listed as Thomas B.
Gregg. Sarah
Blevins was probably married to Unknown Gregg, son of Jacob
Gregg of Carroll
Co. ar. This Mr. Gregg is dead by 1850
and Sarah is
back with young
son in the home of her father, Squire Black Blevins.
About 1860, she
married her cousin, the young widow, William JOnes.
Thomas always
went by the Jones Surname. I am leaving him here so his kin
can find
him. He was actually a Gregg. I doubt anyone in his family
knew this as he
is always listed as a son of William Jones.

Catherine Smith
is living with John Smith in 1890 Cherokee census. T
he 3 children
Monte, Eliza, and
John N. are with
her and John Smith. John may have been
married to Mary W
hite and had
these chidlren or Mary could have been married to his brothe
r. The 3 children are listed with Mary J.
Sellers also. By looking at t
he 1900 census, I
can see the 3 are children of Mary Jane White and not Ca
therine Jones
Smith. I found Catherine in 1910, living
with her daught
er Jane or Jansy
Mathis and she is listed as Rhoda Smith born in AR. I gu
ess Rhoda
Catherine Jones Hurley Smith only had one child Jane or Jansy w
ho married Andrew
Mathis. The 3 smith children with her
and John Smi
th in 1890 are
related to him someway...but I do not know how.
Sherlyn Greaves
read the reenrollment statements and sent me these commen
ts in 2001.
Thomas Jones has
8 children:
William 21
Artella 18
Leroy 16
John 14
Hattie 8
Patsy 6
Henderson 4
Joel 3
Thomas Jones
married Anna Hampton.
Andy Hampton had
3 children by his first wife (we can only account for W
m. C. and Mattie
Jane. His first wife was ??? (maybe
Marinda) Huckleb
y. His second wife was Lillie ARmstrong , and
his 3rd wife was the wido
w, of Jack Jones
(Martin Jackson Jones)Mary Susan Carpenter Jones. Andy H
ampton had 5
children previous to his marriage. (so one can see that we st
ill have one
child missing, surely they died).
Emily Blevins was
once the wife of Buck Hampton (this is Henderson as I fo
und the marriage
in Boone Co. AR.) and their daughter is Alabama Hampto
n. (She is on the 1880 Boone Co. Census Ar.
livng with ELizabeth Cary. E
lizabeth is her
sister). Emily Blevins is a white
woman.
Sarah Blaylock is
the daughter of Martin Jones, son of James JOnes. Jam
es JOnes wife was
Mary Standridge. She was a white
woman. James Jon
es was living in
Carroll Co. Ar. 15 years before he died.
Betsy Jones w
as James Jones
daughter. Betsy married Andy
Hampton. he was a white man.
He had no family
previous to his marriage to Betsy.
Polly married
William White. He had no family before
this marriag
e. He is dead.
Then Sherlyn
says....Polly married Ben Hurley...but I think she is confus
ed and it should
say Catherine married Ben Hurley.
(Catherine would be Rh
oda Catherine JOnes,
daughter of William Jones and Sarah Margaret Blevins
.) We know from payment given out that Catherine
was then married to a Jo
hn J. Smith and
had 3 chidlren. Montezuma Smith, John
Smith and Eliza Smi
th. They are on
the 1890 Indian Terr. census. Catherine
Hurley has one ch
ild..Jansy. She is 15 or 16 and is married but they do
not know who she m
arried. They say Catherine Hurley is about 40 years
of age.
Then the notes
say...Polly White's first husband was Jimmy Jones. (th
is is Mary Jane
White, Polly white's daughter). He had
no children previo
us to this
marriage. Margaret JOnes is the daughtef
of Polly White...s
he is a HALF
SISTER to Josiah White (What does this mean?
Is Josiah Whi
te not a child of
Wm White?)
James E. White
married a White woman. (He married Mary
A. Hampton Frazier
). She had a family previous to this
marriage: the oldest is Eli Frazie
r, then Susan,
and Enoch Frazier. Then James E. White
has 2 children by M
ary A. Frazier
White: William and Josiah White. (they
are with him in 18
90 I. T.
Census).
Adeline Jones is
the daughter of William Jones and granddaughter of Jam
es Jones. She married Josiah Herrod, a white man. She had no family prev
ious to this
marriage. These are the children she
names for Delema Adeli
ne Jones
Herrod: Joseph, Elizabeth, and William.
They are 21, 14, a
nd 16
respectfully.
Thomas JOnes is
the son of Wm Jones and grandson of James Jones. He marri
ed Anna Hampton.
She had no children previous to this marriage.
THOMAS JO
NES IS A HALF
BROTHER TO EMILY JONES. I KNEW THOMAS
JONES' MOTHER SALL
Y. I DO NOT KNOW IF SHE HAD ANY CHILDREN
BEFORE HER SECOND MARRIA
GE TO WILLIAM
JONES. ( Sarah Margaret Blevins is
Thomas Byrd Jones mothe
r. She is the daughter of Squire Blackie
Blevins and Rhoda Standridge
). Thomas Byrd is listed as such on the 1850
census. Sarah and Thomas a
re living in
Carroll Co. Ar. with Sq. and Rhoda.
William Jones lives ne
xt door with his
parents and two kids...Martin Jackson Jones and Delema Ad
eline Jones. Sarah is listed with the last name of Gregg
or Grigg. She h
as not
husband. Thomas is listed as her
child. I personally do not beli
eve that Wm.
Jones is his father...only my opinion.
Betty)
Ruth Atchison is
the granddaughter of William Jones. Daughter of Joseph He
rrod, a white
man. Joseph Herod had not children
living at the time of h
is marriage to
Adeline Jones. (I think he had a child,
Green, but that ch
ild died. As Green is iwth him 1860, Carroll Co. AR
Census).
Ruth Atchison's
brothers and sisters are: Joseph, Eliza,
William, Isabel
l. Catherine Hurley is my brother William's
daughter. She was once marri
ed to Ben
Hurley. Hurley was a white man.
The 1888
reenrollment paper list these children together, they belong to M
ary Jane White,
but perhaps the John Smith Rhoda marries is relat
ed to or the same
man that Mary Jane was married to?
Eli Herod
Polly Brown
Montie Smith
John Smith
Eliza Smith
Right before
these children they list Mary Jane White, who is a daught
er of Polly
White, so I am unsure to whom these Smith Children belon
g. In 1890 I.

ANN JONES:
Sarah and John

remarried a
second time under the Cherokee Law May 4, 1893. Sarah Ann is

Cherokee Census, Delaware District, also on the Old Settlers
Roll, Delaware

Nation June 30,

Sarah Ann and John D.
Blaylock came to
the Hickory Grove area around 1881. There was snow on
the ground and
Grand River was frozen over.They crossed the river on ice
as there were no
bridges. Sarah and daughter, Mary Elizabeth, walked
behind the wagon
as they crossed for fear the ice would not hold up the
wagon and its
contents. They made their home just east and north of where
the community
center now stands. At that time it was known as Copeland
Switch.

Notes for LUCINDA
JONES:
Kathleen found a
Indian Enrollment Record on Lucinda that lead me to a cen
sus investigation
and computer
searchers to find all her family. It was
a very good feeli
ng to find
another Jones
after so long of
time. Lucinda had been there all the time and I had not n
oticed her. She married
before the civil
War to Mitchell England, Cherokee son of David and Sus
un Conner (some
say Fields)
and had a
daughter name Susan England. During the
Civil War he was tak
en by Union
soldiers and never returned. I assume he
served under Stand W
atie's Cherokees
Mounted Rifles. Then she married Geo. Washington Wingfie
ld and had 7
children, of which 5 lived. Last she
married Robt. W. Maddo
x. She died in 1907. Some say there is a picture of Lucinda. If anyone
h
as one and would
share it with me. I would love to see her.

Interview with
Mr. Bill Brasfield
Hanna, Oklahoma
It is necessary
that the first paragraph of this story have for a setting
a point about a
day's wagon drive southeast of Harrison, in Marion
County, Arkansas,
for it was there in 1884 that my brother, Abner
Brasfield, at the
age of twenty-two, shot and killed a man of the name of
Bill Hamm,
Justice of the Peace. My brother, Abner
was farming our
father's land and
Hamm was also, and it was after an argument over the
land that my
brother killed Bill Hamm. Abner was
placed in the Harrison
jail where he
remained for two years before he was brought to trial. He
was sentenced to
twenty-one years in the Arkansas penitentiary at Little
Rock. However my father appealed for a new
trial. It was granted; Abner
was taken back to
the Harrison jail pending this new trial.
He escaped
and started in
scouting. He, no doubt, realized that
the best place to
do this was in
the Indian Territory. He came to the
Territory and for
the next two
years we received infrequent letters from him postmarked
"Eufaula." It got to where we wanted to see him pretty
badly, this was
the main reason
for our moving to a place within three miles of Eufaula,
Indian Territory,
which we did on March 4, 1890. I was but
nine years
old at the time,
I was not ten until the 11th day of the following May,
but it is easy to
make impressions on the mind of a youngster of this
age. I remember our journey from Arkansas and out
first home in the
Indian
Territory. We came in wagons with our
stock strung out behind.
My father had leased one hundred and
sixty acres of very fertile
bottomland. This farm settled in the fork of the South
and North
Canadian Rivers
where they meet three miles east of Eufaula.
On this
farm stood a
double log house with a long hallway separating its two
wings. This house was typical of pre-statehood
Indian architecture,
especially that
of the well-to-do Indian. As a general
rule, the ends of
the hall way were
left open. We got water from a well.
Much of our furniture we made: we made chairs out of hickory, using
cowhides to cover
the bottoms. We made our plow stocks.
The implements
we most used in
farming were Georgia stocks, double shovels and one horse
turning
plows. We had four mules, all four of
working age. We had one
team of oxen and
these oxen were good workers. We used
them to plow and
to drag up logs
for the building of houses.
Our farm had many kinds of trees on
it. However, most plentiful
were the
cottonwood and bois d' arc trees. In
these woods-roamed wild
game including
deer and hogs; these wild hogs were vicious, it wouldn't
do to let them
catch you out in the open. There were
plenty of wild
turkeys and at
night we could hear the veavers at work and loud swishes
told us of trees
being felled by the beavers. Often times
they could be
seen in the
moonlight both in the forest and on the rivers.
Coons could
be heard battling
with each other in the still of the night.
We hadn't been in this primitive setting
but a few days when early
one morning three
men on horses rode up to the house. My
brother, Abner,
set on the middle
horse, his hands handcuffed to the saddle horn, and his
feet fastened by
a chain that crossed under the horse's belly.
On a
horse on each
side of him set a Negro United States Marshal, Grant
Johnson and Bass
Reeves. They would not let Abner
dismount; just gave
him time to say a
few words. They had caught him at
Brooken, which is
twelve miles to
the east of Eufaula; they were taking him to Little
Rock. When Brother Abner broke jail at Harrison a
1500.00 reward had
been placed on
his head.
We followed them into town and once in
Eufaula, Johnson and Reeves
turned my brother
over to Andy Duren, as a guard while they went in
search of
breakfast. Duren was a deputy placed at
Eufaula to keep watch
over the
inhabitants of its dozen or so residences, two stores, post
office, and
depot. It was in the front of the post
office that Abner was
permitted to
dismount, his hands having been uncuffed and his feet
unshackled. However, from my place on the sidewalk beside
my father, I
could catch
glimpses of Abner through the crowd that milled about. Abner
stood beside his
horse, handcuffs dangling from one wrist, and the chain
still attached to
his ankle. Duren stood nearby.
A few minutes later a well-known horse and
rider appeared and the
crowd parted to
let them through. The horse was black,
weighing about
eleven hundred
and eighty-five pounds and went by the name of Niger. He
had never been
out run in several years of competitive territorial horse
races. His rider was his owner and my cousin, Abner
Brasfield, and it
was after Cousin
Abner that my brother was named. Cousin
Abner, then
nearly sixty
years of age, dismounted within a few feet of Brother Abner,
but Niger walked
up by Brother Abner's side. Into my mind
leaped the
thought that
Brother Abner would try to make his get away on Niger. I
later learned
that almost everyone else thought the same thing but that's
where we all were
fooled, including Andy Duren.
Into Niger's saddlebag went Brother
Abner's hand and when it came
out it brought
with it a 45 Colt, which we had aftertime name "Old
Martha." Cousin Abner lived at Brooken and hearing of
Brother Abner's
arrest had
hurried by our house after "Old Martha." This 45 Colt had
been named
"Old Martha" after Cousin Abner's wife who had given it to him.
The handcuffs still hanging from one wrist
and the chain dragging,
Brother Abner
backed away from the deputy sheriff. The
crowd, by the
way, had suddenly
diminished. Duren told Brother Abner to
stop. Where
upon Brother
Abner retorted, "Go to H-l."
The deputy jerked his gun and
fired without
taking careful aim. Duren's shot went
wild and Brother
Abner's shot
knocked the gun from Duren's hand severing the thumb from
his hand. The deputy dived through the post office
door. (This building
still stands just
across the street west of Belt's store in the present
town of
Eufaula.) Brother Abner took two parting
shots at the door
through which the
deputy had disappeared. His bullets
embedded
themselves in the
woodwork of the door.
When Johnson and Reeves arrived on the
scene a minute later, Father
and Cousin Abner
were placed under arrest and taken to Fort Smith; they
were accused of
plotting Brother Abner's escape. When
the others of us
reached home we
found Brother Abner seated in a chair on the porch with a
Winchester
between his knees. He had forced a
neighbor to cute his chain
and handcuffs
off.
Dad and Cousin Abner made bond and came
back home; they made three
or four trips to
Fort Smith for trial but it was never held and the
charges against
them were finally dismissed. Brother
Abner stayed around
for a few days
and then went to Texas. Two years went
by before we saw
him again. At that time he returned and gave himself up
to Grant
Johnson. A detective in Texas had broken Brother
Abner's arm with a
shot. Brother Abner served four years in the
Arkansas prison at Little
Rock and the
Governor pardoned him.
For several years before statehood Brother
Abner served on the law
force at
Eufaula. I recall hearing of a gun
battle between Jake Stanley,
outlaw, and Grant
Johnson, United States Marshal. Stanley
had stolen
quite a bit in
and around Eufaula. One day he was seen
leaving town in a
wagon. Johnson followed on horseback and a little
way out of town caught
up with the
Indian-Negro outlaw. Stanley halted his
team and using his
wagon to hide
behind returned the United States Marshal's fire. Johnson
fired from his
saddle. Sitting on his horse he made a
good target.
Stanley knowing
that Johnson wore a breastplate, aimed at his head.
Johnson had to
head back to town, doing so after two of the bullets went
his way by the
outlaw had found their way through his hat.
A pre-statehood incident surrounding
outlaws of more ill repute is
the following:
Marion Horn and his family, wife and three
children, lived on the
east side of
Eufaula in a double log house with a hallway between the two
wings. Mr. Horn had better that 1500.00 about the
house in the '90's.
This was 'come
on' enough for Belle Starr and Pony Starr, infamous
outlaws. These two rode up one night and held up the
Horns. From the
sewing machine
drawer in Mr. Horn's house they took 90.00 They asked Mr.
Horn of the
whereabouts of the 1500.00 which he had on his place.
Naturally, Mr.
Horn refused to tell them and the Outlaws proceeded to
make him
tell. They threw a rope over a rafter in
Horn's barn and strung
him up by the
neck. However, before he became
insensible they lowered
him to the floor
of the barn and offered him a chance to talk.
Horn,
even under this
punishment, refused to give information, and the outlaws
went a step
further, they burned their victim's feet while he dangled in
the air but to no
avail and the outlaws had to give up.
Horn later said
the money the
outlaws were after was buried directly beneath the spot
over which he was
tortured. Mr. Horn's toenails came off
and he was
unable to walk
for better than three months. Neither
did he ever regain
his natural color
but dark ugly spots appeared on his face and neck.

Came to White
Oak, Cherokee Nation, I.T. in 1890 from Green Forrest, AR.
Theodore was 1/16
Cherokee Indian. Theodore farmed in his younger years,
later baling and
selling hay from his own and his children's Cherokee
allotment lands.
During the Florida land boom of 1910, he was lured there
to purchase land
and moved his family and personal property there by
immigrant car, a
chartered railroad car. he returned his family to White
Oak in less than
two years, where he bought a general store and resumed
farming and haying. In 1925 he returned to Florida
for Martha's health,
staying less than
a year. Theodore died from burns received when he was
starting the
morning fires in his home. Martha later moved to White Oak
living there
until her death.
Lulu and Beaulah
were twins.

Joel Frazier is
living with his Uncle Richmond Hust in 1880, Taney Co. M
o. Martha Jane
Costello married a Frazier between Spurgeon and Beck. I thi
nk is was
Joel...but I am only guessing.1890 Cherokee Nation Census
Joel E. Frazier
age 33
Polly age 18
Claude age 1 and
a half
They are living
iwth his mother Mary A. Hampton Frazier White.
Mary end
ed up married to
David Daughtery in her old age. She is
buried in Sulph
ur Bend under the
name Mary Daughtery.
Sulphur Bend
Cemetery records say J. E. Frazier died in 1921 of pnuemonia.
It says he was 63
when he died. It say he lived in Fairland, OK
1850 Carroll Co.
AR.
James F. Frazier
is Joel Eli's father, but some of the other Frazier child
ren say their
father is George, making me wonder if Mary A. Hampton was n
ot married to
both George and James.

This is Thomas'

CHANCELLOR
JOHN 53 M W MO OK OTTAWA COUNCIL HOUSE TWP 1910
Hi,
Thanks so much
for your response. I don't have very
much information on W
illiam
Thomas. I know he was married to Mellie
Blaylock per some recor
ds I have off the
Cherokee Roll information I sent off for.
He was b abo
ut 1879 and
called Tom, Tommy and Thomas instead of William. They were ma
rried in Aug 1900
in Fairland OK. I have their children
listed as
Meda b 1901 died
before 1905
John Clarence b
1905 (went by Clarence)
Dollie b 1909
Maggy b 1910
William Freddie
b1914 (went by Fred or Freddie)
William Spencer
Chancellor and Ida Lee Cornett had a son Thomas was bo
rn in 1889 . Wm. is the son of Patrick Henry Chancellor.
Patrick Henry a
nd Thomas
Chancellor are brothers and sons of John Cooper Chancelor. Th
ey used the same
names for their kids which makes it hard to follow the ch
ildren...some
folks get the wrong one in the wrong household.
Any information
you have or can find would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Michelle
1910 ottawa co. OK
Reason I htink
this is the one that is tom's father is a neighbor is Thoma
s
Carrey/Carry/Carey
and Jamina C. Roberts Jones Carey. She
is Sarah
Blaylock's mother. So I am almost certain...this is Tom's family
John C 53 born in
Mo.
cant read his
wifes name looks like B is the middle initial but just can't
read her name but
she is 50 and was born in AR. (Later found her name w
as Govenor)
John says his folks
were both born in Va
kids at home are
Ed 22
Ella 17
John 14
Jessie 10 male
Thomas 8?
maybe 83
or 88...can't
read it
Wm. (says brother
meaning he is a brother to John C.) he is 55.
So When Tom is 30
in 1910 his father is 53 and his mother is 50.
His
Grandfather is
Thomas also, and he has an Uncle named Wm. who is 55 in
1910...

Notes for JAMES
ALEXANDER ZANTRA FRANKLIN STANDRIDGE:
[Standridge_JES.FTW]
James Alexander
Zantra Franklin Standridge did not like his name, and
went through life
as "Alec" Standridge. His tombstone in the northeast
part of Pisgah
Cemetery near Russellville, Arkansas, shows his initials
as A.J., rather
than J.A.
The reportedly
illegitimate son of John and Mary Standridge, Alec was
raised until age
13 or 14 by his mother and his stepfather Pleasant M.
Taylor. After
that time, he went to live with his grandfather Alexander
Elisha
"Little Alex" Standridge. They remained close until Little Alex's
death in 1902. In
the 1900 census, Alec and his wife Dora Dunlap
Standridge are
shown as living in Richland Township in Newton County,
Arkansas, three
houses away from Little Alex and his third wife Jane
Yates Standridge.
After Little
Alex's death, Alec withdrew from association with the Newton
County and northern
Pope County Standridges. Perhaps they avoided him
because of his
illegitimate birth, or maybe he imagined they did, but
this is pure
speculation. In any event, those Standridges did not become
enemies but
simply strangers. I rarely heard them mentioned, and never
unkindly. I remember about 1955 asking James Melton
Standridge, Alec's
son and my
father, whether we were related to those other nearby
Standridge's. He
answered that he assumed we were, but he coudn't say for
sure because he
didn't know anything about them.

GOLDSBY, CRAWFORD
(1876-1896). Crawford Goldsby, an Oklahoma outlaw bett
er known as
Cherokee Bill, was born at Fort Concho, Texas, on Februa
ry 8, 1876, the
son of St. George and Ellen (Beck) Goldsby. The elder Gold
sby was in the
Tenth United States Cavalryqv and claimed to be of black, S
ioux, Mexican,
and white ancestry; Bill's mother was reportedly half blac
k, one-fourth
white, and one-fourth Cherokee. By the time Bill had reach
ed the age of
seven, his parents had separated. He moved with his moth
er to Fort
Gibson, Indian Territory, and later attended a school for India
ns in Cherokee,
Kansas, for three years. He also attended the Carlisle Ind
ustrial School
for Indians in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, for two years, but s
ome sources state
that he could barely read and write.
After leaving
school he returned to Oklahoma. Some of his biographers cont
end that he did
not begin the exploits that made him infamous until the a
ge of eighteen.
Others, however, believe that he killed his first victim w
hen he was only
twelve. Biographers also are uncertain when he received t
he name Cherokee
Bill. He murdered at least seven people and may have kill
ed as many as
thirteen. Certainly by the time he reached eighteen he had j
oined the Bill
Cook gang in bank and train robberies. Bill later formed h
is own gang and
also rode with such well-known outlaws as Henry Starr a
nd Billy the Kid
(see MCCARTY, HENRY). With the assistance of acquaintanc
es who hoped to
receive part of a $1,500 reward, federal authorities captu
red Bill and
transported him to the federal district court in Fort Smit
h, Arkansas.
There he received a capital conviction for the murder of an u
narmed painter
who happened to witness Bill's participation in a robber
y. However,
Bill's lawyer appealed the conviction, maintaining that Bill h
ad not received a
fair trial in the court of Judge Isaac Parker, a juri
st known for his
disdain for lawbreakers. After an unsuccessful escape att
empt in which he
killed a jail guard at Fort Smith, Bill received a seco
nd murder
conviction. When the United States Supreme Court rejected his ap
peal of his first
conviction, federal officials hanged him before hundre
ds of onlookers,
on March 17, 1896. His last reported comment was, "I ca
me here to die,
not to make a speech."
Judge Parker
characterized Bill as a "bloodthirsty mad dog who killed f
or the love of
killing" and as "the most vicious" of all the outlaws in t
he Oklahoma
Territory. Numerous publications recounted Bill's life of crim
e. After his
death, his mother took his body to the Fort Gibson area, whe
re he was
probably buried.

On a sunny
afternoon on March 17, 1896 as Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Golds
by escorted by
prison guards, his mother Ellen, Amanda Foster, an elder
ly lady who had
help raise him, and Father Pius, a Catholic priest, walk
ed to the gallows
to be hanged for murder. Looking around at the crowd th
at had gathered
to witness the occasion, he stated, "This is about as go
od as day to die
as any." A short time later there was a creaking sou
nd as the trap was
sprung and he was dead ending the life at twenty of t
he most notorious
outlaws to roam the Indian Territory and perhaps the ent
ire Western
Frontier. For over a two year period during the last deca
de of the
nineteenth century, he led a reign of terror throughout the terr
itory which
included murder and robbery. He murdered his brother-in-law, l
awmen, and anyone
he disliked who crossed his path.
Crawford Goldsby
was born on February 8, 1876 at Fort Concho, Texas. He w
as the second of
four children and the oldest son born to Ellen Beck and G
eorge Goldsby.
The older sister was Georgia Eller and the two brothers we
re Clarence and
Luther.
Ellen was born in
the Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation. Crawford
's maternal
grandfather was Luge Beck, described as being a Cherokee of t
he half blood,
and grandmother was Tempy Beck. Both had been slaves once o
wned by Jeffery
Beck, a Cherokee.
In a signed
deposition on January 29, 1912, George Goldsby stated th
at he was born in
Perry County, Alabama on February 22, 1843. His father w
as Thornton
Goldsby of Selma, Alabama and his mother was Hester King, a mu
latto, who
resided on her own place west of Summerfield Road between Sel
ma and Marion,
Alabama. George also stated that he had four brothers and t
wo sisters by the
same father and mother, Crawford, Abner, Joseph, Bleven
s, Mary, and
Susie.
George served as
a hired servant with a Confederate infantry regiment duri
ng the Civil War.
While at Gettysburg, he escaped and went to Harrisburg w
orked as a
teamster in a Quartermaster unit and subsequently enlist
ed as a White man
in the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment under the na
me of George
Goosby. (The spelling sometimes varied between Goosbey and Go
osley).
After the Civil
War ended, he returned to the Selma, Alabama area. Duri
ng his last
visit, the word was out that he would be captured and lynch
ed for going over
to and fighting with the Union Army, after which ti
me he departed
the area for Indian Territory.
In 1867 George
enlisted in the 10th Cavalry Regiment (Buffalo Soldier) und
er his proper
name, George Goldsby, and by 1872 he was promoted to sergea
nt major. After
the expiration of his five-year term, he re-enlisted and b
ecame first
sergeant of Company D, 10th Cavalry.
During 1878 when
Crawford was two years old serious trouble began to occ
ur in San Angela
(San Angelo), Texas between the black soldiers and cowbo
ys and hunters.
The incident that led to the largest confrontation took pl
ace in Morris'
saloon. A group of cowboys and hunters ripped the chevro
ns from the
sleeves of a Company D sergeant and the stripes from his pant
s. The soldier
returned to the post and enlisted the aid of fellow soldie
rs who armed
themselves with carbines and returned to the saloon. A blazi
ng gunfight
commenced resulting in one hunter being killed and two othe
rs wounded. One
private was killed and another wounded.
Texas Ranger
Captain G. W. Arrington with a party of rangers went on pos
t, Fort Concho,
in an attempt to arrest First Sergeant Goldsby of D Compa
ny charging that
he was responsible for the soldiers obtaining the carbine
s. Colonel
Benjamin Grierson, Post Commander, challenged the authori
ty of the rangers
on a federal post.
Sergeant Goldsby
apparently knew that the Army could not or would not prot
ect him away from
the post so he went AWOL, it has been said with the assi
stance of an
officer of the 10th Cavalry. He escaped from Texas into Indi
an Territory.
Sometime after
being abandoned at Fort Concho, Ellen Beck Goldsby moved wi
th her family to
Fort Gibson, Indian Territory. She left Crawford in the c
are of a elderly
back lady known as "Aunty" Amanda Foster. She cared for h
im until he was
seven years old and was sent to the Indian school at Chero
kee, Kansas.
Three years later he was sent to the Catholic Indian Scho
ol at Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. At the age of twelve, he returned home to Fo
rt Gibson.
Upon returning
home, Crawford learned that his mother had remarried. On Ju
ne 27, 1889,
Ellen married William Lynch in Kansas City, Missouri. She w
as the
"authenticated" laundress of the 10th Cavalry, D Troop and stayed w
ith the unit
which gave her rations, transportation, and quarters. She tra
nsferred to Fort
Davis, Texas, and to Fort Grant, Arizona. She was also wi
th the unit at
Fort Apache, Texas.
After departing
Fort Apache, she traveled to Kansas City to marry Willi
am Lynch before
proceeding to Fort Gibson. Lynch, born in Waynesville, Ohi
o, was a private
in K Troop, 9th Cavalry. He had served during an earli
er enlistment
with H Troop, 10th Cavalry.
Crawford and
William Lynch, his stepfather, did not get along. He beg
an to associate
with unsavory characters, drink liquor and rebel against a
uthority.
When Crawford was
fifteen he went to live with his sister Georgia and h
er husband Mose
Brown. They lived near Nowata, Oklahoma Territory on la
nd gained by her
mother's Freedman status. The stay did not last very lo
ng because Mose
had an intense dislike for Crawford. He returned to Fort G
ibson and lived
for awhile with Bud Buffington who is believed to be relat
ed to William
Buffington the son of Lucinda Beck. Lucinda was also once ow
ned by Jeffery
Beck and raised Crawford's mother Ellen.
At age seventeen,
Crawford began to work odd jobs cleaning and sweeping st
ores and working
on a ranch. He sometimes worked for room and board and w
as later paid
wages. He was described by James Turley, ranch owner, as bei
ng "quiet,
good natured, hard-working boy, well-liked by all who knew him.
"
Crawford's first
serious trouble started when he was eighteen. One night w
hile attending a
dance in the Fort Gibson area, he and Jake Lewis, a thirt
y-five year-old
black man had a confrontation over his younger brother a
nd he was
severely beaten by Lewis. Two days later Crawford confront ed Le
wis with a
six-shooter and threatened to kill him. Shortly afterward
s, he shot Lewis
twice, left him dead, mounted his horse and fled. Howeve
r, Lewis recovered
from his wounds. The authorities in the Cherokee Nati
on attempted to
arrest him, but Crawford left the Cherokee Nation and we
nt into the Creek
and Seminole Nations, met and joined up with two noted o
utlaws Jim and
Bill Cook described as being mixed-blood Cherokees.
During the summer
of 1894, the government purchased from the Cherokees the
ir rights to land
called the Cherokee Strip. A certain portion of the paym
ent was reserved
for the Cherokee tribal treasury and over six million dol
lars was to be
paid out to all who could make legitimate claim as to havi
ng the required
one-eight Cherokee blood. Each individual was to receive $
265.70. Goldsby
and the Cook brothers, while traveling to Tahlequah to obt
ain their share
of the money stopped at a hotel and restaurant on Fourte
en Mile Creek
operated by Effie Crittenden. Effie employed a brother-in-l
aw of the Cooks
as a cook. The gang ordered Effie to proceed to Tahlequ
ah to obtain
their money because they did not want to be seen in the are
a. Goldsby was
wanted for the shooting of Jake Lewis and Jim Cook was want
ed for larceny.
Effie Crittenden
drew the payments on behalf of Goldsby and the Cooks on t
he treasurer's
last day at Tahlequah. As Effie proceeded back to her estab
lishment she was
followed by Sheriff Ellis Rattling Gourd with the intenti
ons of capturing
Goldsby and the Cooks.
On the evening of
July 18, 1894, a gunfight occurred between the Sheriff a
nd a posse of
seven men on one side and the Cooks and Goldsby on the othe
r. In the
Sheriff's posse was brothers Dick and Zeke Crittenden who was co
mmissioned as
Deputy U.S. Marshall. Effie was the separated wife of Dick C
rittenden and it
was alleged that Dick planned the shootout in the hopes t
hat Effie would
be killed.
During the
gunfight, posse Sequoyah Houston was killed and Jim Cook was wo
unded. The
Sheriff and four of his posse fled. Shortly afterward the Critt
enden brothers
escaped in the dark.
It was after this
incident that Crawford Goldsby gain the alias "Cherok
ee Bill."
While Effie Crittenden was being questioned about the murd
er of Sequoyah
Houston, she was asked if Crawford was involved in the gunf
ight and she
said, "No it was not Crawford Goldsby, but it was Cherokee Bi
ll."
Shortly after the
fight at Fourteen Mile Creek, the famous Cook gang was o
rganized. The
gang was integrated, however, most of the members were bla
ck men some being
Cherokee Freedmen. Members included Bill Cook, Cherok
ee Bill, Lon
Gordon, Sam McWilliams, Henry Munson, and Curtis Dayson, a
nd others. A
reign of terror took place during the month of July 1894 whi
ch included
robberies and murder in the Cherokee and Creek Nations. On Ju
ly 14, 1894. the
Muskogee-Fort Gibson stage was held up. Shortly afterward
s, a prominent
Cherokee, William Drew was held up and relieved of mone
y, a pistol, and
other items. Two days later the Frisco train was he
ld up at Red
Fork.
On the morning of
July 31 the Cook Gang robbed the Lincoln County Ba
nk at Chandler,
Oklahoma Territory of an unknown amount of cash. The barb
er across the
street sounded the alarm and was killed by one of the outlaw
s. During the
getaway, numerous shot was fired. One of the gang members w
as shot in the
hip and captured. The others escaped into the hills.
The terror
continued throughout the months of September and October 189
4. A store was
robbed at Okmulgee. Individuals were robbed in the are
as of Muskogee
and Fort Gibson. On October 11, the Missouri Pacific dep
ot at Claremore was
robbed and two hours later the Katy Railroad age
nt at Chout eau
was also robbed. On October 20, the gang wrecked and robb
ed the Missouri
Pacific Railroad's Kansas City and Memphis Express at Core
tta.
Panic reigned
throughout the area especial ly in the northern half of Indi
an Territory. A
wire was sent to the Office of Indian Affairs in Washingt
on by Union agent
Dew M. Wisdom in which he summarized the conditions in t
he area stating
among other things that the affairs were in desperate cond
ition; business
was suspended, people intimidated and individuals were bei
ng robbed day and
night. He also stated that his police force was not equ
al to the
emergency and the U.S. Marshall at Fort Smith stated that he d
id not have the
money to keep marshals in the field for a campaign again
st the outlaws.
Chief United
States Marshall Crump of Fort Smith, Arkansas was summon
ed to Washington
to give an account of the gang's operation. The U.S. Atto
rney General and
Secretary of War pledged full support of the governmen
t. The Secretary
of War threatened to abrogate the treaties, abolish the t
ribal relations
and establish a territorial government." Rewards was post
ed for the
capture of any or all of the gang members.
Numerous detailed
accounts by citizens were reported as the gang robbed a
nd murdered
through out the region. They sought revenge on those who kn
ew them and
reported their activities to authorities. A black man by the n
ame of Burl
Taylor who lived in the Creek Nation had several encountered w
ith Cherokee Bill
and reported the other gang members as being Jim and Bi
ll Cook, Jim
French, Sam McWilliam, who was known as the Verdigris Kid, Te
xas Jack and
Skeeter.
Cherokee Bill had
an irresistible charm with women. However, this caused h
is downfall and
capture as we will see later. Supposedly he had a girlfrie
nd in nearly
every section of the territory and was often protected by loy
al friends.
Lawmen who pursued him usually kept a safe distance in ord
er to avoid
engaging him in battle. He was on good terms with Cherokees, C
reeks, and
Seminoles and moved through their villages and lands easil
y. In some areas
the lawmen could not move around as freely. Some towns ev
en passed
ordinances allowing him to move around or through out the respec
tive areas
unmolested.
Cherokee Bill was
credited with most of the murders that occurred during t
he gang's
rampage. Many times he killed for no cause or reason. The numb
er ranges from
seven to thirteen. One account said he murdered a least fou
rteen men.
In September 1894
Cherokee Bill shot and killed his brother-in-law, Mose B
rown, reportedly
over an argument about some hogs. The account of the inci
dent as stated by
the daughter of Georgia and Mose relates to her mother r
eceiving a letter
from Cherokee Bill requesting that she visit him.
However, Mose
objected to her going and later insisted on going along desp
ite the pleas
from Georgia that he not accompany her on the trip. Upon the
ir arrival at the
location Cherokee Bill was residing, Mose was asked w
hy he came and
during the altercation that followed Mose was shot and kill
ed.
Just before noon
on November 8, 1894, two men identified as Cherokee Bi
ll and Sam
McWilliams, the Verdigris Kid rode into Lenapah located betwe
en Coffeyville,
Kansas and Nowata, Indian Territory with the intent of rob
bing a store
operated by Schufeldt and Son. Cherokee Bill entered the sto
re while his
companion waited outside and he ordered the owner to open t
he safe in which
he secured the cash contents. Afterwards he decided to ta
ke some clothing
and ammunition. While this activity was in progress, a gr
oup of men who
was working next door appeared at the window on the outsi
de of the store
to see what was going on due to the commotion. Without war
ning and for no
apparent reason Cherokee Bill shot Ernest Melton and he di
ed instantly.
After the robbery and murder the two outlaws rode out of tow
n.
The shooting of
an innocent bystander by Cherokee Bill eventually led to h
is arrest and
conviction to hang. An intense search was mounted that forc
ed the gang to
separate. Many of the members was either captured or kille
d. Those captured
received long prison sentences or were sent to the gallo
ws. Sam McWilliams,
the Verdigris Kid, was shot and killed by and Indian d
eputy sheriff
just east of Fort Gibson. One of the Cook brothers was captu
red on a cattle
ranch near Fort Sumner, New Mexico Territory in the same a
rea where Pat
Garrett had killed Billy the Kid.
Cherokee Bill
continued to be elusive and many lawmen were reluctant to co
nfront him face
to face because of his feared reputation as being one of t
he toughest
desperados in the area. It was said that he could shoot fast
er than two ordinary
men. Using his rifle he could hit a squirrel in the e
ye as far as he
could see and could shoot from his waist and hardly ever m
iss the target.
The citizens of Lenapah were outraged and shaken up by t
he murder and it
was stated that an ordinance was passed granting him t
he privilege of
free movement without being molested which was one of t
he most unusual
acts in the history of the Western Frontier.
The Deputy U.S.
Marshall began to solicit the aid of citizens who knew Che
rokee Bill and his
movement patterns. One acquaintance visited his hideo
ut and was given
a locket that was taken during the robbery at the Schufel
dt store in
Lenapah. After the Marshals were told of his hideout a posse w
as organized to
flush him out. During the gunfight his horse was killed, b
ut he was able to
escape.
A few days later
Deputy U.S. Marshall W.C. Smith came in contact with Cli
nt Scales
described as being a black man who sometimes worked as a handyma
n. He advised the
marshall that Cherokee Bill would sometime meet one of h
is girlfriends,
Maggie Glass, at the cabin of Ike Rogers, just east of Now
ata. Maggie was
described as being of African and Cherokee descent and w
as the niece of
Ike Rogers' wife. Ike was also of African-Cherokee descent
.
Deputy Smith
contacted Ike Rogers and developed a plan to lure Cherokee Bi
ll into a trap by
using Maggie Glass unsuspecting to bait the trap with Cl
int Scales
causally dropping over to spend the night. Ike held a deputy ma
rshall's
commission, however, he had a bad reputation was not very effecti
ve.
Cherokee Bill was
constantly on guard and very suspicious of Ike Rogers a
nd refused to
leave even after Maggie urged him to do so. Ike played the p
art of a generous
host by offering him whiskey laced with morphine, but Bi
ll refused to
drink and he kept his rifle with him at all times even at t
he dinner table.
The weapons belonging to Ike and Clint were kept out of s
ight because they
did not want give Bill an excuse to shoot them. After br
eakfast the next
morning Ike gave Maggie a dollar and instructed h
er to go and
purchase some chickens from a neighbor so as to get her o
ut of the house.
Shortly after
Maggie departed Bill took some paper and tobacco from his po
cket and rolled a
cigarette. When he leaned over towards the firepla
ce to light it
Ike struck him across the back of the head. Ike felt the bl
ow would have
killed an ordinary man but it only knocked him down. Ike's w
ife grabbed
Bill's rifle while Ike and Clint attempted to subdue him. Aft
er a twenty
minute tussle on the floor the two managed to get a pair of ha
ndcuffs onto
Bill.
Bill was placed
in a wagon with Clint Scales and Ike rode behind with a sh
otgun. While
enroute to Nowata, Cherokee Bill broke the hand cuffs and gra
bbed at Clint's
rifle. Clint fell out of the wagon with his rifle while I
ke kept him
covered with the shotgun. After arriving at Nowata, Cherokee B
ill was turned
over to Deputy Marshals Bill Smith and George Lawson.
The deputies took
charge of the prisoner and placed him in the federal ja
il in Fort Smith,
Arkansas. Cherokee Bill was later arraigned before Jud
ge Isaac Charles
"Hanging Judge" Parker charged with the murder of Erne
st Melton. Ellen,
Bill's mother, retained J. Warren Reed described as bei
ng the most
famous trial lawyer in Fort Smith to defend him.
During the trial
the prosecutor produced seven witnesses who positively id
entified Cherokee
Bill as the person who killed Ernest Melton. The defen
se lawyer put on
the stand "alibi" witnesses who swore Bill was seen fif
ty miles south of
Lenapah the day Melton was murdered.
Judge Parker
charged the jury and within a few minutes returned with a gui
lty verdict. When
the verdict was read, Cherokee Bill smiled. His mother a
nd sister who had
been in the courtroom throughout the trial wept loudl
y. Bill said,
"What's the matter with you two?" "I ain't dead yet." He w
as placed back in
jail and reunited with his old friend Bill Cook who h
ad been captured
in New Mexico and the two acted as if nothing had happene
d.
On April 13, 1895
Cherokee Bill was taken to court for sentencing and Ju
ne 25 was set as
the execution date. The execution date was reset to Mar
ch 17, 1896 after
the appeal process to the Supreme Court affirmed the dec
ision of the
lower court.
During the spring
of 1895, there were over 200 prisoners in the Fort Smi
th jail and
constant scheming to escape. The head jailer, J.D. Berry, orde
red a search of
the entire prison on July 10. In Cherokee Bill's cell th
ey found nine .45
caliber cartridges, and in the bathroom they located .
45 caliber
revolver hidden in a bucket of lime fully loaded. Everyone deni
ed knowing where
the weapons and ammunition came from. There were many sus
pects, including
Sherman Vann, a black trusty and Henry Starr, the grands
on of Cherokee
outlaw Tom Starr and nephew of Sam Starr. However the sear
ch failed to
uncover a second revolver that had been smuggled into the ja
il and hidden by
Cherokee Bill.
On July 26, 1895
at 7:00 in the evening, Turnkey Campbell Eoff and Guard L
awrence Keating
entered Murderer's Row. Keating was shot and killed whi
le passing
Cherokee Bill's cell after he disobeyed Bill's order to gi
ve up his weapon.
Eoff ran up the corridor and Bill stepped from his ce
ll and fired
twice. George Pearce, another outlaw and one of the plot's ri
ngleaders, ran
after Eoff. This probably saved Eoff's life because Cherok
ee Bill could not
shoot at him without probably shooting Pearce.
Cherokee Bill
held the jail under siege and began firing at random from h
is cell. Each
time he would fire, he would gobble, a sound half between t
he bark of a
coyote and that of a turkey. The prisoners were badly frighte
ned and many had
crawled under their bunks or huddled in the corner of the
ir cells.
Cherokee Bill continued to hold out and refused to surrender.
Henry Starr
volunteered to go to Bill's cell and attempt to talk him in
to giving up the
weapon. The authorities agreed to allow Starr to visit t
he cell and
agreed not to fire during the consultation. A short time lat
er Starr emerged
from the cell with Cherokee Bill's weapon.
The second trial
lasted three days resulting in a guilty verdict and Jud
ge Parker
sentenced Cherokee Bill to be hanged on September 10, 1895. A st
ay was granted
pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. On December 2, t
he Supreme Court
affirmed the decision of the Fort Smith court and Judge P
arker again set
the execution date as March 17, 1896.
On the morning of
March 17, Cherokee Bill awoke at six, singing and whistl
ing. He ate a
light breakfast sent from the hotel by his mother. At 9:2
0, his mother and
"Aunty" Amanda Foster were admitted to his cell and shor
tly afterwards
Father Pius arrived.
The hanging was
scheduled for 11:00 a.m., but was delayed until 2:00 p.
m. in order for
his sister Georgia to have the opportunity to see him befo
re the hanging.
She was scheduled to arrive at 1:00 p.m. on the eastbou
nd train.
Shortly after
2:00 p.m. while on the gallows, it was reported Cherokee Bi
ll was asked if
he had any thing to say and he replied, "I came here to di
e, not make a
speech." Approximately twelve minutes later Crawford "Cherok
ee Bill"
Goldsby, the most notorious outlaw in the Territory was dead.
The body was
placed in a coffin which was placed in a box and taken to t
he Missouri
Pacific depot. Placed aboa

Notes for ANGLISH
SHADY STANDRIDGE:
[Standridge_JES.FTW]
Shady contracted
tuberculosis, and spent several years in the sanitorium
at Booneville,
Arkansas. As part of the treatment, he had one lung and
half of his rib
cage removed. I'm not sure on the timing of this, but
believe it was
about the late 1940's or early 1950's. Despite these and
other
misfortunes, including having at least two homes destroyed by fire,
he and his wife
Dorothy remained continuously cheerful and optimistic.

Notes for JAMES
MELTON STANDRIDGE:
[Standridge_JES.FTW]
James Melton
Standridge was called "Pet" by his sisters because he was
the baby of the
family. The nickname was misunderstood by the family's
neighbors, and
most people in Pope County, Arkansas, called him "Pat" all
his life.
He was a real
"lady's man". Women of all ages always seemed to like him.
Although he was a
fairly handsome man, I believe that was mostly because
he so genuinely
liked and respected women. He and my
mother, his
ex-wife, remained
good friends all his life. A bit of a
dandy, he would
hardly even go
outside to get the mail without a clean shave and freshly
combed hair.
He was a natural
story-teller. He had keen powers of observation, and was
able to see
things in the most common events that later became funny or
dramatic when he
described them. Many times I have seen children request
(and adults
gather around for) a story that had already been re-told many
times over.
His favorite
stories were of course about his favorite activities,
hunting and
fishing. He was extremely skillful at both. Although his
brother Ralph and
his nephew Calvin Keener could usually do better
(except in his
re-telling), few others could come close to him.
As a young man,
he left farm work to take a job as an office machine
repairman with
the H.D. Coffee Typewriter Company in Russellville,
Arkansas.
Initially the pay was only comparable to farm work, and
commuting from
the Carden Bottoms area was a hardship. He drove a Ford
that was ancient
even then, and he often told how it leaked water so
badly he had to
stop at every creek to refill the radiator. However, he
was convinced
that learning a skilled trade would be a long-term
advantage, and I
think events proved him right.
The military
being what it is, when he served with the Air Force during
the Korean
Conflict he alternated between repairing office machines and
bomber engines.
As a young man,
he was 5 feet and 10 inches tall. However, in later years
he suffered from
osteoporosis, and he was only about 5'5" when he died.
