Her Grandfather was Elijah Crabtree. He changed his name to hide his heritage to Jerry Williams. Her grand father says his mother or father was full blooded Choctaw. Your Choctaw knowledge seems broad. Is there any help you could offer us? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am looking for Ophelia (Orpha, Orpie) TAYLOR b-abt 1836 in MS. She married a Neil (Neal) McFARLAND who was born abt 1832 in SC. They married in 1852 in Ashley CO, AR (the CO. next to Chicot).. I find Neal living in Chicot CO, AR in 8-10-1850 where he owed some land. I only know of one child that they had together but believe they did have more children. Their daughter Nancy "Nannie" McFARLAND was born in Oct 1852 in AR, probable Ashley or Chicot CO. Before 1866 they moved to Blue (Bryan) CO, OK where Nancy married. In the 1896 Choctaw Census Nancy states that both her parents had died in Blue CO, OK (Bryan CO) before 1896. If you believe Ophelia could be one of your ancestors, please contact me.
