I am trying to research my great-grandmother's maternal family. We do NOT know where my g-grandmother was born originally, but feel that her family came from the Mississippi Choctaw. The search is complicated by the fact that she was previously married to (and divorced from) another man before she married my g-grandfather - in other words, several different Surnames involved. My g-grandmother's name was Jane Elizabeth (nickname - "Janie") DAVENPORT, b. 9 OCT 1866 (no location) daughter of Barney DAVENPORT and Selina YARCOMBY(sp?). She married a Julius HAMPTON (no info), then divorced him (no dates or locations). She later married my g-grandfather, Elisha Sharp LOCKE, in Indian Territory - Choctaw Nation, on 24 DEC 1894. Jane was supposedly a full-blood Choctaw, but registered under the Dawes Commission as half-blood to avoid having the US Government appoint someone to manage her extensive land and cattle that she owned. I know her Dawes registration number, census card number, but do NOT yet have a copy of her registration packet - "Dawes # 13406, census card 5603 (pg318)". Before I confuse myself (and you?) any further, lol, here is the main name I am needing help with, in all of it's possible spellings: Yarcombe, Yocumbe, Yacumbe, Yacombe, etc. I believe my g-g-g-grandfather's name, from the Mississippi Choctaw, was "Lacheur Yarcombe"(sp?), but have NO dates or locations. or any other info on him. His wife's name was "Mahala" (no last name). I am needing help determining the proper spelling of 'Yarcomby', so that I can find further info. I would GREATLY appreciate any help on the spelling, any info on locations in Mississippi they may have lived, etc. if anyone might recognize the name and already has info. Also, is there a website similar to the NARA site that lists out all of the Dancing Rabbit Creek(?) 'rolls'? Maybe I can find something there... Thank you for ANY help!

Does anyone have information on Doc Kerbow who is listed as a sheriff of Poteau, Le Flore Co.? The info on Le Flore Co. says he is listed on page 43 of Henry L. Peck's "The Proud Heritage of Le Flore County".This book was published by Hoffman Printing Co. of Muskogee, Ok. in 1963 and re-printed in 1967. What year was Doc Kerbow Sheriff? Was he Choctaw? Cherokee? Intruder? My gg-grandfather was J. M. Curbo/Kerbo/Kerbow. Was Doc related to J.M.? I do not have access to that book here in Texas. If anyone can help, I would be ever so grateful. Sincerely, Carmen McDaniel Forbes

Hello all, I am new to the list and a beginning researcher. My GG Grandmother was Mary Stewart born in Blue County, Choctaw Nation October 15, 1855, she was a member of the Choctaw Tribe. Mary married George A. Boydstun in 1876, they lived near Caddo. We are starting to research Mary's family history, if any of you have information or can point me in the right direction to find information I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance, Tammy Boydstun-Yedinak ************************************************************* Tamara S. Boydstun-Yedinak tyedinak@3rivers.net

Thought if any of your Choctaw relatives went to CA, this would be a good place to check out. A goldmind of information.

I am at a loss as to how to answer her question, being so new to my own Choctaw ancestry search. I believe she is not on either of the two lists, so if you can answer her question, you may have to email her privately.

My cousin's father used to call her something that sounded like "Medquah" - does anyone know if this is Choctaw or Cherokee? Or what it might mean? My g-grandfather was Choctaw and my g-grandmother was Cherokee! Carol

Choctaw are here! Sandi :)

I believe you can order them from the Archives in Ft. Worth, address available from their website. They list all the individuals living in the home. The 1885 census has farm assets listed also.
