Fort Gibson was close to the area for the Cherokee. It was in Indian Territory, not in Arkansas. I am looking at a map in Five Civilized Tribes by Grant Foreman. There were some Seminoles who settled in that area for awhile, but I haven't come across any mention of Choctaw.

Hello - There was a half-Choctaw woman by the name of Mariah Williams who was removed to Cantonment Gibson in 1828 or so along with the old settler Cherokees under Chief Oolooteca in the first of the removals, even before the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. I have heard of a Choctaw village on the Arkansas river in the 1820's and I assume she lived there, although that's just a guess. I don't know where she came from before she got to Arkansas, but I understand she settled down in the Fort Gibson area after removal. My relatives tell me I am descended from her and that she is either my GGor GGG grandmother. I, too, would like to know more about those Arkansas Choctaws.

After the tribe moved, the Chickasaw and Choctaw shared a territory for awhile, and when they did seperate, members of each tribe could live in either territory, so you end up with some folks chickasaw on the Dawes, and other's choctaw.
