Jennifer, I finally found the copy of Salina Nitakechi's will. Was it you who wanted a copy? Would it be ok to send it here or to your private address? Bob B. (bbobbow@aol.com)

I asked about my great grandmother(HANNAH TRAHERN DELOACH CARTWRIGHT) having two enrollment cards numbers. After re-reading everything, her name is on more than one card. What a difference a few words make! Carol

I was looking up my ancestor's enrollment cards online and it appears my great grandmother has two cards - #2743 and #2744 - could this be because she remarried?

Surnames: graham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4gC.2ACE/994 Message Board Post: My gggggrandfather was James Graham, shown in the 1850 Clarke County, Mississippi, census. He was born in 1814 in Alabama according to that census. Though I know very little about him, his grandaughter Columbia Graham who was my gggrandmother was said, by family tradition, to be Native American or mostly Native American, a tradition of which my family is very proud. However, we have never been able to substantiate the tradition. Can anyone suggest a way for me to try to verify this? Does anyone have James Graham on a list for their family or anything? I have a significant amount of information on Columbia Graham's descendants should anyone be interested and I would be more than happy to share it.

Angelyn, Were you aware you can search for names thru the volumes of the chronicles online? I searched for William Trahern(my great great grandfather) - it gets kind of confusing to do it, but interesting. Carol

ATTORNEY WEIR HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN, KNOW THAT ALICE LIVES IN PHILADELPHIA, MISSISSIPPI, IS ABOUT 85 YEARS OLD, WORKS AT HER SON'S LAW OFFICE: WEIR & BOOKER, HIS NAME IS TOMMY. ADDRESS IS 303 W. MAIN STREET, PHILADELPHIA, MS. THERE IS ALSO A SON WILLIAM THAT HAS A LAW OFFICE IN PHILADELPHIA, MS. DATES THAT WEIR TOOK MONEY FROM PEOPLE WAS 1940-1955. HE WOULD HAVE HIS PICTURE PUT INTO THE PHILADELPHIA MS NEWSPAPER SHOWING HIM WALKING THRU THE HALLS OF THE US CAPITOL, THIS REALLY KEPT THE LOCAL PEOPLE SENDING HIM MONEY.

Is he interested in genealogy, Carol? Cousins and I are wondering when and why the Perrys, Bentleys and Anne Marie Maurer LeFlore moved to Rush Springs. Go to: http://www.google.com Type Adolphus Edward "Dynamite Ed" Perry and there's an interesting story about Carrie and Ed plus 22 "volumes" of letters she wrote Anne Marie while Carrie and Ed toured "the Continent". Coalgate is mentioned, but not Rush Springs.

Robert Cole, was Chief of the Okla Falaya District, Western Division or "Upper District (Mississippi), 1824-1826. According to: http:/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~treetop/Chiefs.html Robert Cole was the son of Shumaka, sister of Chief Apuckshenubee. Coleman Cole was Principal Chief from 1874-1878. The concept of Principal Chiefs was first established in the 1860 Choctaw Constitution.
