There were many small groups of Choctaws scattered around the state in various communities. You will only run across mention of them in history books and scholarly works like the one co-written by Pete (Dr. Hiram) Gregory (a friend) of Northwestern State Univ. that you mention. My own grandmother was part of the Yawani Choctaw settlement in what is now Natchitoches Parish. There are presently 3 or 4 federally-recognized Choctaw groups in the state. The Cooper Roll was supposed to be a census of those Choctaws still remaining in the state in 1865. We now know he missed many, many Indians who, by 1865, had adapted to white ways. I have seen it on Judy White's and Dennis' site: http://accessgenealogy.com/native It was done by (I think) Douglas Cooper who was some sort of Indian agent in Louisiana at that time. I am in Louisiana...can I help with your research??? dusty List Admin. > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CHOCTAW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
