Nalora, Thank you so much for the lookup. I am pulling hair on this family. Three of William Edward's children married into the Choctaw Tribe. This is what leads me to believe that he was in the Nation also. I know that there is a very prominant Jones family that was Choctaw. If William Edward was kin to this family in some way and came to the Nation because of this kinship would he have been issued a permit? Or were the permits issued only to people that had no affiliation whatsoever with any of the tribes?
