We lived near Boggy Depot. My father peddled goods through the country; he would be gone six weeks at a time. When six years old I could spell every word in the Blue Book Speller. One day at school they were having a spelling match. among those in line were the Hester girls. The word "stertorous" was given out and no one in line could spell the word. I was sitting in the back of the room. I was so thrilled because I could spell the word that I was jumping up and down. The teacher, Allen Wright, noticed me and said, ìCan you spell the word?í I said, ìyes.í One of the boys in the line said, ìThat little dirty-faced brat can't spell.í The teacher called me to the front; I spelled the word - the teacher seemed surprised and said, ìI will investigate you between now and Monday morning.í The first time I met this boy who called me ìdirty faceí he knocked me down, hitting me in the eye. He said that was his vengeance. My father tanned the leather and made our shoes. He would but brass toes on th Mrs. Ida Freeny (R.T.) Stuart, 1400 Classen St., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

I am unable to give any details of their experiences, but could only refer you to my uncle.í

Everyone is working really hard to get all the Southeast Choctaw info. placed on the Choctaw home page. Go to: http://freepages.cultures.rootsweb.com/~Choctaw/index.html.I know this looks long but go there then bookmark the page then you can go to it easy. Just take your time and enjoy yourself. Collect your thoughts and just jump right in. Everybody is kind and very helpfull. I'm 58 years old and even though I have done genealogy research for 37 years, I'm also new to the computer so I get frustrated sometimes because I don't know how to do some of the things that I would like to.

Hi Shelley, No, the workbook and 2 tapes are not the same as the ones made by Charlie Jones. I asked Ms. Thomas when I was talking with her on the phone, because I also have the book and tapes that Charlie Jones made. She told me that the book and tapes needed for the online language classes were made specifically for the University of OK. Language classes. There is one English speaker and five different Choctaw speakers on the tapes. So, I went ahead and ordered the set that she recommended we would need. I have listened to Charlie Jones for so long, I think he's now a member of our family...

Maybe this is one is yours - I'll try to decipher the document a little: "Before the commission to the Five Civilized Tribes. In the matter of the claim of Jim Anderson for enrollment on the citizenship roll to be prepared by the Comission for the Choctaw Nation. The aplicant would state for his claim for citizenship and enrollment that his age is 24 years and that his post office Ofahoma Mississippi. The applicant would further state for his claim that he is a choctaw Indian by blood he being the son of Tom Anderson, being the son of Soonna (I think its an "s") Anderson, a Choctaw Indian by blood. also his mother, Sine Anderson a full blood indian." On another document, it says, Tom Anderson, his wife Sine Anderson and his chidlren Luckett Anderson, Liza Anderson (some symbol that looks similar to a T) Ozu Pollie, 2nd Willis Barney, 3rd Jim Anderson. I don't really know what the above all means, do you? I don't understand the 2nd and 3rd especially since his mother is Sine, who are Ozu Pollie and Willis Barney? Anyway, that's all that's on this document. If you think it could help you, I'll be glad to scan it for you. I'm looking for my g-gndfather James (Jim) Anderson, and his brother, Pomp. We don't have a clue as to their parents - only know they were both born in Alabama (James was born in 1855). We think James and his wife Mollie (Mary Jane Lindsy) lived in Pike County AR and had a daughter Navada, then moved to IT and had 7 more children; Edward, Iva Evelyn, Jake, Clearcy Jane, Margret Emma, William Riley, and Jesse. We think they lived near the Tupelo/Coalgate area. Both g-gndparents are buried in Byrds Prarie cemetery just south of Tupelo OK. My Dad and aunt say that James was Choctaw and that Mollie was Cherokee. Haven't found anything on either of them to back it up so far.
