Have you checked the Miller(now Hempstead, Ark.) Co.census 1850-1860 and check Red River, Tex., census, 1850-1870's??? I believe I saw Kitchen and mabey Piltcher???? Lots of Choctaw were in that area in that time span. My family, Daniel, Muse, Tucker, Johnson, Litchford, Thomason, Ballard were there also.
