Does anyone know what happened to John Jolly --- the treaty signer? All I can find is he died "after 1826." In researching my own lines (not JOLLY), I may have stumbled across some info on him; but, I don't want to expound on my theory and look totally ignorant. I may just be looking at a different John Jolly. Carolyne
John Jolly was with the group that Tahlonteeskee lead in 1809 into Arkansas. Tahlonteeskee died, if memory serves me correctly apx 1819. Jolly then became chief of that group. He was very prominent in the life of general/Governor Sam Houston...both before and after the migration. You can read much about him in the biographies of Governor Houston.
