Imafo, do you have any further information about Mary Polly Barnes of KY? pattyg74056@cs.com
Bonnie, I don't know your Tompkins-Fulks family, but thought I would tell you that I spent today, along with other theater board members, tidying up the theater where the annual "Bob Wills Band Reunion" is being held this weekend. The surviving band members get together, and others sit in with them; and there is music and reminiscing all weekend! As a little child, I can remember my mother and grandmother listening to "We're the lightcrust doughboys from Burris Mills" at noon everyday from radio FWAA-WBAP, Dallas-Ft. Worth, which launched Bob Wills. In checking out some of my Choctaw "cousins" years ago, I learned that a group of Choctaws DID go to Leon Co., TX, rather than go to Oklahoma. Also, you might check out your possible Osage ancestry through the Osage Agency at Pawhuska, OK, as they have to keep track of the original allottees' descendants because of the division of the oil lease quarterly allotments. They might have something on your lines, even though you are not eligible. Send FACTS--names, dates, proof, etc. Good luck! pattyg74056@cs.com

Halito All: Yes SandyM, you are correct, Woodward was sometimes spelled Woodard. It was like so many things in those days, the spelling was different, even with the same person doing the spelling. With the phonetic spelling, Woodward, in some parts of the country, is actually pronounced Woodard. So maybe we're cousins. Who knows?

My maternal grandfather, descended from Lizzie(?) BOUNDS, who we believe may have been Choctaw, had as middle name "WOODARD" (note no second "W"). Is it at all possible that could be a family name handed down (by someone trying to remember their Choctaw heritage) and misspelled, or am I just grasping at straws? His full name was James WOODARD SMITH. Was WOODWARD ever spelled that way? So many questions... thanks - SandyM ----- Original Message, EXCERPTED: , From: "Richard Wilson" <imafo2002@yahoo.com> > Halito All: > Lori I have Halls in my line. ...

I am working on a project for a newsletter, and I need to find information on the following people listed in the supplement to the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Moses Foster, Charles Scott, Robert Jones, Choclehomo, Thomas Garland, T. Magagha, and James McDonald. Any information would be appreciated! Jen
Halito Imafo: Was your John Harper called Captain John? Why was he also known as Johnnie Hopiah? Was he full Choctaw? Did he live in Clarke County, MS between 1845 and 1855? Wish I could find out more about my Captain John. I've got to do some digging on the War of 1812 as suggested. Perhaps I'll gain a better understanding and/or find something on my Captain John. Thanks for sharing. Lori
Halito All: Lori I have Halls in my line. I can go back as far as the "French and Indian War". It starts with Leonard Hall who received 2000 acres from Gov. Patrick Henry of Va. for leading the Indians during the "French and Indian War". I forget just now whom he was married to but I do have that information. One of his sons, William Hall was married to a Woodward, again I can get that information to you, and they had a son Green. Many will recognize the Woodward name as a prominent trader name. Green married Mary Polly Barnes, known as Molly and they had a daughter Elizabeth Louisa Hall who married William Hanks. They are my gg-grandparents. They were all living in Kentucky at this time. William Hanks was the son of Fielding Hanks and Lydia Harper daughter of John and Mary Ann Harper and the first born in Boonesborough. John Harper was also known as Johnnie Hopiah. I do have more information but that's what I recall from memory. I hope this helps. Imafo __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Dear Dusty, This should be an interesting site, as my maiden name is Lauderdale. Maybe I can get them to waive the fee (LOL). My grandmother was Barbara Lauderdale a Choctaw Indian, and her first husband was also a Lauderdale. Theresa Lauderdale
I am getting WEARY of asking that all postings to the CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST-L list be connected to CHOCTAW GENEALOGY ONLY!!!!! I am about a hair off of putting this list on monitor status. That means that NO POSTING will get through unless it is OK'd by me! Since I cannot be at my computer 24 hours a day, that means listmembers will receive postings only once a day and only those I find suitable. It is incomprehensible to me that ADULTS with enough smarts to operate a computer cannot follow simple instructions. I have explained over and over WHY WE MUST HAVE THESE GUIDELINES!!
