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…"

Sir Alexander Cuming –

 

  Sir (Cummins) Alexander made the Witnesses sign to the Substance of what they saw and heard, in order to preserve the Memory thereof, after Words are forgot. The Witnesses were Sir Alexander Cuming, Eleazar Wiggan, Ludovick Grant, Samuel Brown, William Cooper, Agnus Mackferson, David Dowie, Francis Beaver [James Francis Beamer], Lachlan Mackbain, George Hunter, George Chicken, and Joseph Cooper [halfbreed son of 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.

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.

    

Children of JAMES WELCH and CHEROKEE QUATSI are:

2.  CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH (JAMES1) was born Bet. 1745 - 1750 in Tugaloo, and died Abt. 1825 in Cherokee Nation East--near Nickajack.  She married (1) UNKNOWN JOHN DRURY RAINS.  He was born Abt. 1740 in South Carolina, and died Aft. 1800 in South Carolina, Alabama or Georgia.  She married (2) EDWARD WILKINSON, SR.2 Abt. 1761 in Near Keowee, son of CHRISTOPHER WILKINSON and ELIZABETH FARR.  He was born Bet. 1710 - 1720 in Colleton County, South Carolina, and died 1783 in SC2.

 

Notes for CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE WELCH:

December 2011--Great Christmas gift--found Cherokee Mollie--Brave Cherokee Woman!

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 Copy!

 

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.

see" for the sons to be mixed blood one parent must be white. Cherokee Cla

im of Jessie w. Bushyhead #5226 states that Coo-ta-ya's first husband w

as Edward and her second was John Wilkerson. Also in Star's book in stat

es that Edward Wilkerson was white and in one of the Claims I found refere

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.

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.

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.

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.

Notes for URIAH WILKERSON:

[brendajackson56.ged]

 

Uriah Wilkerson's name appears in a Hall County Court Case with Uriah Hubb

ard and other defendants.  Uriah  went before the 1st Board of Commissione

rs in 1837 to file a claim.  He had taken a reservation in 1818 at Po(?) C

reek in McMinn Co., TN, by right of his wife.

 

I think Uriah and Riley Wilkerson are the same man and am not listing th

em as two people.

Drury Jones Document from April 1845

Elizabeth Jones Heirs VS the US Government

 

 

This document was sent to me by Patty Woodall. She resides in the area th

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!!!

rs of Elizabeth 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.

ad a first wife in South Carolina and two after he came to the Old Cherok

ilkersons Cherokee wife named Cootiah by whom he had five childeren nam

ed Aaron, Dick, George, James and John.  John Wilkersons childeren by my s

Elizabeth Jones Heirs VS the US Government

 

 

This document was sent to me by Patty Woodall. She resides in the area th

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!!!

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--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 got his 640 ac

res in right of his wife under the 1817 treaty.  James Jones land was in T

enn. Thomas land was in Al.

Subject: RE: 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.

ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sc/pendleton/census/pend1820.txt

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.

Case # 97, Benjamin Brackett VS Cherokee Nation

Petitioned for his rights as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation

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,   Coo'tire in "Cherokee

Planters In Georgia, By Don L. Shadburn.   Coh tah ya on the Drennen

Rolls of 1852.   Coo ta ya by different people on the internet.

Coo tah ya on the dawes applications of Mary and Asa Wilkerson.  Cootiah

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

underwater because of the damn being built just below the cave.

The Jones,  Wood and Wilkinsos lived between Nikajack cave and Crow Town.

                      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.

Thomas jones Jr. was the chain carrier on the surveys for James, Drury, a

-of age.  We know he died as a young man as Drury said so.

Elizabeth Jones Heirs VS the US Government

 

 

This document was sent to me by Patty Woodall. She resides in the area th

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!!!

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.

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

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.

ry and demonstrates his relationship to Richard Blevins Indian wives Ma

ry and Elizabeth Jones.  Risingfawn, born 1863 in Delaware District of Ind

lizabeth Jones who was married three times was the daughter of David and M

as a brother of Richard Blevins' wives Mary and Polly Jones, and was on t

I would guess that John was the son of Edward Wilkerson, brother of

John, as he married Catoriah first and John who married Annie wood

in 1813, would be born about 1795...making him the son of John's brother

and not John...as the dates do not work out.

Notes for ELEANOR NELLIE WILKERSON:

i wonder if Eleanor was named for Nelly Eleanor

Standridge McBee.  Her husand was a Primitive

Baptist Preacher to the Cherokee. Samuel McBee.

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, ditto

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

Note by Betty: 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

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

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.

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 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.

kely some connection to John Armistead mentioned in an article excerpted f

rom THE VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST and titled THE ARMISTEADS OF CUMBERLAND COUNT

Y.  “By deed of 28 Jan. 1755 John Armistead bought from Jeremiah Dum

as of Anson Co., NC.....850 acres...being in the County of Cumberland on t

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

idgewater, Jonathan Cunningham, Joseph Price, Absolam Jordan, John Salmo

n, William Terrill and John Blevins.  The deed was witnessed by Ralph Flip

ping, Randolph Richardson and David Parker, and recorded in March 175

5.   Snow Quarter Creek is a tributary of Willis River and lies in the nor

thwestern part of Cumberland County near present Buckingham and Fluvanna C

ounties.”  *RLB note:  More research on the Armistead family of Virgin

ia is recommended to the researcher or descendant of the Blevins cluster w

hich is the subject of this chapter.

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.

Goodspeed's 1889 Biographical Historical Memoirs of Northwestern Arkans

as  states "John, Alexander... removed from Crowley's Ridge near Helena, A

R., in 1832, and settled on Long Creek below Carrollton.  There were th

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

ot Gun' Jerry Meeks and his brother, 'Blue' Jacob Meeks, 'Black Squire Ble

vins, Richard Blevins, Sam Blevins, and others of Cherokee and English des

cent, whose society was not appreciated by their neighbors...  They...h

ad not been living in this country many years prior to 1832.  (By Bett

y:  Martin is Martin Standridge brother of James Jones' wife, Mary.  Jerr

y, the father of Jeremiah who dies in Newton Co. AR.This Jerry is probab

ly the one who married Betsy Blevins, who we believe is Dick's sister. Jac

ob moves on to Texas.  Richard is the Dick Blevins, father of Squire.  S

am is Isham Blevins.)

 

George Stone from Selected Chronology of Carroll Co, Arkansas Blevins Fami

lies: (continued)

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

im.  TN in 1802, and Delilah Meek was married in Henry Co., TN to Jam

es M. Blevins in 1837.  This Meek family on Dry Creek are not the Jerry a

nd Jacob Blue Meek.  They are related, but not the same family.  Persons w

ho entered land prior to 1850....Township 18, Range 22, 1840, John Blevi

ns 160.62 acres; Section 4, 1841, John Blevins 79 acres; Township 19, Rang

INDIAN RECORDS OF THIS BLEVINS FAMILY: (continued)

Red L. Larimer in May, 1978, in Tribune writes:  "Carrollton was select

ed as the county seat of Carroll County in 1833....Among early pionee

rs in Osage Township were Martin Standridge, the Blevins brothers..."

 

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.  Luke Blevins, (?.

?. and Sally Blevins P.33.  Misc.

 

Testimony. p. 2161.  No 27353-7523 - Arizona Haggard:

"My name is Arizona Hoggard; my post office is Byars, McClain Co., OK; I w

as born in Parker Co., TX in 1860.  I claim relationship to the Cherokee I

ndians through my father, Jack Blevins, who was one-quarter Cheroke

e;  my father was born in TN; my father claims through his mother, whose m

aiden name was Betsy Jones who was a half blood Cherokee; Betsy came fr

om TN; my parents moved to Texas about 1847, prior to that time they liv

ed in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory for about ten years or about 1

837, prior to that time they lived in Tennessee; Luke Blevins, Sally Blevi

ns - I have been told are cousins of mine; these people lived in the Chero

kee Nation in the year 1835.  I file herewith affidavit of Paulina Hoggar

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

ad Blevins, Jack Blevins, Betsy Jane Bankhead, Lige Blevins and John Hag

an Blevins.

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, VA Milit

ia List.

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.

Goodspeed's 1889 Biographical Historical Memoirs of Northwestern Arkans

as  states "John, Alexander... removed from Crowley's Ridge near Helena, A

R., in 1832, and settled on Long Creek below Carrollton.  There were th

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

ot Gun' Jerry Meeks and his brother, 'Blue' Jacob Meeks, 'Black Squire Ble

vins, Richard Blevins, Sam Blevins, and others of Cherokee and English des

cent, whose society was not appreciated by their neighbors...  They...h

ad not been living in this country many years prior to 1832.  (By Bett

y:  Martin is Martin Standridge brother of James Jones' wife, Mary.  Jerr

y, the father of Jeremiah who dies in Newton Co. AR.This Jerry is probab

ly the one who married Betsy Blevins, who we believe is Dick's sister. Jac

ob moves on to Texas.  Richard is the Dick Blevins, father of Squire.  S

am is Isham Blevins.)

 

George Stone from Selected Chronology of Carroll Co, Arkansas Blevins Fami

lies: (continued)

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

im.  TN in 1802, and Delilah Meek was married in Henry Co., TN to Jam

es M. Blevins in 1837.  This Meek family on Dry Creek are not the Jerry a

nd Jacob Blue Meek.  They are related, but not the same family.  Persons w

ho entered land prior to 1850....Township 18, Range 22, 1840, John Blevi

ns 160.62 acres; Section 4, 1841, John Blevins 79 acres; Township 19, Rang

e22, Section 6, 1844, Jeremiah Meek 35 acres; Section 15, 1840, Squire Ble

vins, Jr 120 acres; Section 33, 1839 Richard Blevins 80 acres; Section 3

INDIAN RECORDS OF THIS BLEVINS FAMILY: (continued)

Red L. Larimer in May, 1978, in Tribune writes:  "Carrollton was select

ed as the county seat of Carroll County in 1833....Among early pionee

rs in Osage Township were Martin Standridge, the Blevins brothers..."

 

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.  Luke Blevins, (?.

?. and Sally Blevins P.33.  Misc.

 

Testimony. p. 2161.  No 27353-7523 - Arizona Haggard:

"My name is Arizona Hoggard; my post office is Byars, McClain Co., OK; I w

as born in Parker Co., TX in 1860.  I claim relationship to the Cherokee I

ndians through my father, Jack Blevins, who was one-quarter Cheroke

e;  my father was born in TN; my father claims through his mother, whose m

aiden name was Betsy Jones who was a half blood Cherokee; Betsy came fr

om TN; my parents moved to Texas about 1847, prior to that time they liv

ed in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory for about ten years or about 1

837, prior to that time they lived in Tennessee; Luke Blevins, Sally Blevi

ns - I have been told are cousins of mine; these people lived in the Chero

kee Nation in the year 1835.  I file herewith affidavit of Paulina Hoggar

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

ad Blevins, Jack Blevins, Betsy Jane Bankhead, Lige Blevins and John Hag

an Blevins.

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 ELIZABETH JONES and RICHARD BLEVINS are:

     i.   LUKE5 BLEVINS, b. Abt. 1835.

     ii.  ELIJAH BLEVINS, b. Abt. 1836.

     iii. RICHARD BLEVINS, b. Abt. 1837.

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.

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

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

he is a HALF SISTER to Josiah White (What does this mean?  Is Josiah Whi

NES IS A HALF BROTHER TO EMILY JONES.  I KNEW THOMAS JONES' MOTHER SALL

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.

39.  ii.  ANDREW W. HAMPTON, b. 10 May 1849, Carroll Co. AR. near Denver; d. 12 Dec 1917, Ok..

40.  iii. HENDERSON W. HAMPTON, b. 1853; d. Bef. 1880.

     iv.  MATILDA E. HAMPTON, b. 1856.

     v.   RICHARD C. HAMPTON, b. 1859.

 

 

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.

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 1890 Cherokee Census that  Catherine was then marri

ed to a John J. Smith and had 3 chidlren, Montezuma Smith, John Smith a

nd Eliza Smith, listed with her and John. They are on the 1890 Indian Ter

r. census also with Mary Jane White Herod Smith Sellers. (I think the Smi

th Mary Jane was married to is the same as the one Catherine is marri

ed to or his brother). Catherine Hurley has one child..Jansy.  S

he is 15 or 16 and is married but they do not know who she married.  Th

ey say Catherine Hurley is about 40 years of age.  (I have found his na

me on the 1900 Cherokee Census...Andrew Mathis. Rhoda Smith is living wi

th them).

 

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

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

is marriage to Adeline Jones.  (I think he had a child, Green, but that ch

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 brothers and sisters are:  Joseph, Eliza, William, Isabel

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

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.

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 have married Hulda

white women (not Cherokee) According to Elizabeth Jones Hampton (Williams

Sister)  William Jones Jr. was married to a Hulda Armstrong, William Sr.

Sherlyn Greaves read the reenrollment statements and sent me these commen

Thomas Jones has 8 children:

William 21

Artella 18

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.

 

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.

Notes for ALEXANDER ELISHA STANDRIDGE:

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 Township, Newton County, Arkansas, and died June 25, 1886 in

Richland Township, Newton County, Arkansas.  He 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.

Betsy Hampton who first being duly sworn, upon her oath, states that she

is about 65 years old and a citizen and resident of Deleware Dist, CN.

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 a family man) from the Republic of Texas is patent

ed to him upon June 4,1850, Mercer's Colony, Limestone County, and is so

ld to J.N. Claypool, June 12th of the same year.

 

William had become a married man in 1848, having taken as a wife Elizabe

th Jane"Mahalia" as she was called" Blevins, who was half Cherokee India

n, and to them had been born a son, whom they named after his half broth

er Richard Marion.

 

By 1851,William had acquired 124 acres in the adjacent county of Freeston

e, upon which he rendered the unbelievable state tax of 19 cents, while h

is county tax came to34 cents.

 

In 1854, William Bankhead moved his family to their permanent locati

on in Coxville Precinct,Hill County, where the last two of his sons by Eli

zabeth were to be born, and Elizabeth was to die,probably during 1858.

 

 

Following the final disposition of his father's #225 Head right Claim whi

ch occurred May 3,1859, the unlocated balance of the 2/3 league and 1 labo

r, was patented to the heirs of Richard Bankhead.

 

Mustered in as private, September 15,1863,at Stephenville,Erath County,Tex

as, by Captain M.B.Lloyd, William C. Bankhead served during the Civil W

ar as a teamster in Company E,Mounted, Frontier Regiment, under the comma

nd of Colonel J.E. McCord. His Federal designation at Washington D.C

., is Company A, Frontier Battalion, Texas Calvary.

 

October 1879, William sustained a fall while cleaning out a well,which bro

ke his back,and the injuries thus obtained caused his death shortly therea

fter.

 

Rebecca, a widow at 38, and probably in delicate health herself, for she w

as dead within two years, took refuge in marriage to her minister W.A.Tarr

ant, himself a recent widower with two small children. In April 1880, Re

v. Tarrant's three year old daughter died of Scarlet Fever,and in May h

is one year old son,"choked" (Diphtheria) to death.

Generation No. 6

 

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.

39.  ANDREW W.6 HAMPTON (ELIZABETH5 JONES, JAMES4, ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON, CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1)17 was born 10 May 1849 in Carroll Co. AR. near Denver, and died 12 Dec 1917 in Ok..  He married (1) MARINDA HUCKABY Abt. 1870 in Carroll Co.

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.

The record in this case shows that on September 18, 1900, the applicant, L

nd then and there made personal application for the enrollment of herse

lf and seven minor children, Taylor J., William R., Maud J., Russell R., K

ittie, Riley R., and Benjamin R. Paden, as citizen by blood of the Cherok

ee Nation. Thereafter, on October 18, 1901, at Vinita, Indian Territory, f

urther evidence in the matter of this application was heard and on Februa

ry 25, 1902, at Muskogee, Indian Territory, the case was ordered closed a

nd reported to the Commission for final decision. The seven children of t

he applicant, Lena Goins, and her former husband, Benjamin R. Paden, who d

ied March 1896, are all listed for enrollment on Cherokee Roll Card Fie

ld No.2918, and are not embraced in this decision or considered at this ti

me.

 

It appears from the evidence in this case that the applicant, Lena Goin

s, was admitted to all the rights and privileges of Cherokee Citizensh

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

ip of the Cherokee Nation, her name appearing in the certificate of admiss

ion as "Allen P. Jones," which name was written by some mistake inste

ad of her' correct name at the time of her admission, Orlena P. Jones.

 

The applicant, Lena Goins, is identified on the Cherokee

Census roll of 1896, her name appearing on said roll as "Leana Paden," S

he was married to her present husband, John D. Goins, February 19, 1900, a

nd by that marriage a female child, Okley Goins, by name, was born on Dece

mber 16, 1900, subsequent to the date of this application, and proper pro

of of her birth has been furnished the Commission. The applicant, Lena Goi

ns, has lived in the Cherokee Nation ever since her admission in 1883.

 

The authority of the Commission herein is defined in Paragraph 1, Sec. 2

1, of the Act of Congress, June 28, 1898. (30 Stats., 495.)

 

It is therefore the opinion of this Commission that Lena Goins and Okley G

oins are lawfully entitled to be enrolled as members by blood of the Chero

kee Tribe of Indians in Indian Territory, and that the application for the

ir enrollment as such should be granted and it is so ordered.

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.

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 (Eng.)

  Henry Bradley

Home in 1900: Township 6, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory

  SMITH  JOHN M   29  M  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.

Mary A. White is 51...I think this is the Mary White that was married to J

ames Erwin White.  She was said to have married a Williams and a Harro

d. I think she  is connected Josiah Herrod in someway  him because she h

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 in 1880...I am not sure about all his lore.

Notes for GEORGE B. JONES:

1900 Cherokee nation census

lists a son for Mary Jane White and George B. Jones...Oscar...but he may o

nly be George's 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

related that she knew.

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.

1890 Cherokee Census

James White NC 36

William H. 13

Joeseph S. 11

Polly White 68

All are listed as Native Cherokee.  James White says in his 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

azier, so one of his sons died.

 

1900 Ok. Census

Found James E. White born March 1854 living next door to William Hampton (

William Charles)

Wife is Nancy looks like H. born in Jan. 1861

Children are:

Hoolie C. March 1894

Polly A. March 1897

Lulie E. Feb. 1900

 

living near by is Joel Frazier born in Sept. 1851...I think he is Nancy

's brother.

James White says his father was White and his mother Cherokee and he is 12

/16s?

Surely he was not too good at Math.

William Hampton says his mother was white and his father Cheroke

e.  He is 15/16s?

 

Notes for MARY A. HAMPTON:

Mary married George Frazier first.

She married a Williams?

She married James White.

She died a Daughtery.

 

Found that Mary married David Daughtery last.  She is buried in Sulphur Be

nd Cemetery, Ottawa County, Ok. David is too.

This is from a Frazier desc.

Not much known about Mary A Hampton, except that Mary A Hampton was marri

ed to a Frazier, 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

or Lottie White b? died 27 dec.1878.  They are both buried in Sulphur Be

nd Cementary. OK.  See James notes for divorce info. 

**************************************

Mary A Hampton was 1/4 Cherokee according the the Dawes Rolls. 

(note by Betty...have not seen Mary Hampton on the Dawes Rolls.  Need to c

heck this out!)

Notes for NANCY ANGELINE FRAZIER:

My grand mother was Polly Anna White (spouse: George Wheeler Estes), her m

other was Nancy Angelina Frazier (according to Estes Family Bible) and Jam

es Erwin White.  Do you have any info on the Frazier line?? MsMorgan3@aol.

Nancy says her parents were born in Ga.  The census says she is White, b

ut ad. Cherokee.

James White said she had not been married before she married him. I thi

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?

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?

as no 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 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 daughter.  She was once marri

ed to Ben Hurley.  Hurley was a white man.

 

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. Rifles (confederate), but he ones around Carroll Co. AR a

nd Omaha were mainly Union.  Johnson Hampton served in the Union Arm

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

Then Sherlyn says....Polly married Ben Hurley...but I think she is confus

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

ild..Jansy.  She is 15 or 16 and is married but they do not know who she m

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).

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).

1894 in Around Fairland OK.

Notes for ADALINE JONES:

1870 Stone County,MO census  Found in the old settlers book as Delema

Jones but later went by AdelineJones Herrod.

More About ADALINE JONES:

Name 2: Delema Jones

Died 2: February 07, 1876, Around Fairland OK

Burial: Sulphur Bend Cemetery

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.

March 29, 2004--Kathleen sent Joel Eli Herrod's Indian Appl. to add his wi

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.

ee Nation. Thereafter, on October 18, 1901, at Vinita, Indian Territory, f

urther evidence in the matter of this application was heard and on Februa

ry 25, 1902, at Muskogee, Indian Territory, the case was ordered closed a

nd reported to the Commission for final decision. The seven children of t

he applicant, Lena Goins, and her former husband, Benjamin R. Paden, who d

ied March 1896, are all listed for enrollment on Cherokee Roll Card Fie

ld No.2918, and are not embraced in this decision or considered at this ti

me.

 

It appears from the evidence in this case that the applicant, Lena Goin

s, was admitted to all the rights and privileges of Cherokee Citizensh

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

ip of the Cherokee Nation, her name appearing in the certificate of admiss

47.  THOMAS BIRD6 JONES (WILLIAM5, JAMES4, ELIZABETH3 WILKERSON, CHEROKEE MARY MOLLIE2 WELCH, JAMES1) was born Oct 1847 in Ark., and died Bef. 1907 in Fairland, Cherokee Nation, I.T.18,19.  He married ANNA HAMPTON20,21 18 Dec 1865 in Carroll Co. AR., daughter of JOEL HAMPTON and ELIZABETH PAGE.  She was born 09 Feb 1844 in Carroll County, AR., and died 05 Apr 1932 in Fairland, I. Territory.

 

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. Terr. Catherine 38 is a wife of John J. Smith and the 3 smi

th children are livng with them.

 

Notes for BENJAMIN HURLEY:

Ben was the son of Valentine Hurley and Rebecca.  They are in Taney C

o. Mo in 1850 and 1860. In 1870 Rebecca is in Carroll Co. AR. with Ben a

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.  Betty Renfroe

David ENGLAND, a white man, and his wife, Susannah CONNER (1/2 Cherokee

ty of Peachtree Mission, Murphy Co., NC. In 1826, David ENGLAND was cle

rk of the 3rd District of Cherokee Nation (Aquohee District.) In 1835, t

he family consisted of: a white man, one half-breed, and seven quarter blo

ods. He operated a grist mill. In 1838, they removed to Maysville, Bent

on Co., AR. Their oldest daughter, Louisa (Louysa) ENGLAND married Robe

rt Dean BLACKSTONE (a white man from Monroe Co., TN). Louisa ENGLAND and R

obert Dean BLACKSTONE are my gg grandparents. I have much information to s

hare after their relocation to Benton Co., AR in 1937, and then final

ly to Webbers Falls, Canadian District, Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma. Can any

one help?? Thanks. Linda Brooks, Ft. Gibson, OK.

 

David's mother and father may have been Joseph England and Mary Reed. He l

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.

Notes for THEODORE JONES:

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.

Notes for JOEL E. FRAZIER:

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.

urther evidence in the matter of this application was heard and on Februa

ry 25, 1902, at Muskogee, Indian Territory, the case was ordered closed a

nd reported to the Commission for final decision. The seven children of t

he applicant, Lena Goins, and her former husband, Benjamin R. Paden, who d

ied March 1896, are all listed for enrollment on Cherokee Roll Card Fie

ld No.2918, and are not embraced in this decision or considered at this ti

me.

 

It appears from the evidence in this case that the applicant, Lena Goin

s, was admitted to all the rights and privileges of Cherokee Citizensh

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

ip of the Cherokee Nation, her name appearing in the certificate of admiss

Notes for THOMAS WILLIAM CHANCELLOR:

1910

 CHANCELLOR  THOMAS 30 M W AR OK OTTAWA COUNCIL HOUSE TWP 1910

This is Thomas' father...his father is living with him, and his name is Th

omas

So it goes Thomas to John to Thomas.  Looks like they came from Mo. do

wn to AR to OK.

 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

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.

CRAWFORD "CHEROKEE BILL" GOLDSBY

 

....the toughest of them all

 

by Bennie J. McRae, Jr.

Copyright 1994. LWF Publications. Reprinted and posted from Volume 1, Numb

er 4 - July, 1994.

 

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.
