    1. Re: [CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST] Samuel Brown - Indian Trader
    2. Richard Wilson
    3. Halito: This is all very interesting. I have 5 Browns in my line. Sarah Brown was married to my gr Uncle Fielding McNabb. They filed under the Dawes' Commission under different applications which tells me that Sarah filed under her own family. In other words they were both of Choctaw descent. Perhaps there is a connection. The names are:Fielden Brown, MCR# 6557,application# 427; Leander M. Brown, MCR# 6551, application# 451; Mary E. Brown, MCR# 6851, application# 468; Sarah (McKnubb) Brown should be McKnabb, MCR# 6561,application#1440, 1444; Thomas L. Brown, MCR# 6850, application#473, 475. I have many traders' surnames in my line: Barnes, Woodward, Hall, etc. Imafo [email protected] wrote: Good morning! There was a Samuel Brown in Savanah, Georgia about 1740-1750 that was an Indian Trader. I do know that most of these people married a Native American in order to gain better trading favors with their people. Does anyone on this list have any knowledge of this Samuel Brown? There were two Samuel Brown's in this area and one was the son of Samuel Brown Sr. I believe the Samuel Brown Jr was the Indian Trader.

    1. [CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST] Request for Advice
    2. I have been hunting ancestral roots for many years and FINALLY got down to some solid information about my Choctaw ancestry. However, I need some guidance in order to go further. My quest begins with Bettie Warfe/Gavin in Cliftonville (Noxubee) MS. At the age of 61, she filed for recognition as MS Choctaw, along with her 8 adult children. The father of her children, Robert Gavin was white. In testimony to the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes in 1901, she says that she was born in VA and brought to MS by "some white folks" when she was about 9 years old. She claimed her Choctaw ancestry through her grandmother, Mary Owen, whom she said was full blooded Choctaw from AL. She said her mother (Acey, Alcey or Elizabeth Owen or Hughes), was half Choctaw and that her father, Isaac Hoskiss, was a "Yankee". Although she claimed to have never been a slave, other information leads us to believe she came to MS with a John Warf, who was a slaveholder and was traded to the Gavin family. Warf migrated from VA to MS with 5 slaves. He made a stop along the way in AL. In any case, she did not make her claim as a Choctaw freedman. Her claim for Choctaw recognition was denied (MCR). However, her son Owen somehow managed to get a land grant in OK. Census records list him variously as mulatto and Indian. His children attended Indian schools. He was driven off of his land by night riders, during which experience his daughters were violated. In anguish, he committed suicide and the Choctaws refused to touch his body or bury him. The physical descriptions in the NARA records and family photos show that Bettie's children all looked Native American - long straight black hair, copper skin, thin lips - but, given their white admixture, that may not say anything. So far, I can't document much save for family memories and now the NARA records. Does anyone have any advice on where I might look for Bettie's mother and grandmother? Anything anyone can offer will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. BTW: MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    2. Good morning! There was a Samuel Brown in Savanah, Georgia about 1740-1750 that was an Indian Trader. I do know that most of these people married a Native American in order to gain better trading favors with their people. Does anyone on this list have any knowledge of this Samuel Brown? There were two Samuel Brown's in this area and one was the son of Samuel Brown Sr. I believe the Samuel Brown Jr was the Indian Trader. Thank you Cyndi

    1. [CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST] Murder of Cornelius McCann
    2. Jennifer Mieirs
    3. Here's what the "life among the Choctaws" says about Cornelius' murder Cornelius Macann, a half-breed, was our next nearest neighbor; he was a well-disposed, quiet man, about fifty years of age, with grown-up children, but married to a second wife, who was many years younger than himself. Macann owned a small farm, had comfort about his cabin, and had a very fine stock of cattle, which rendered him quite independent in his circumstances. also.. Cornelius Macann and family, who were our near neighbors, had to perform a journey of thirty miles to reach home; as they could not do this in one afternoon, they were forced to camp and take one "sleep" by the roadside. Macann was about fifty years old; his wife was much younger, and his son Jim, by a former wife, was perhaps twenty-five years old. The old gentleman was a little more under the influence of liquor than his wife, and she assumed the responsibility of taking the jug into her own possession. Camping by the side of their trail, Macann was very stupid and almost consumed by thirst; his wife kept the jug concealed and would not give him the coveted oko-ho-ma--whisky. He complained bitterly of his wife's unkind treatment, but finally lay down by the camp-fire and went into a drunken sleep. At a late hour Jim Macann, the son, rode up to the camp, whereupon Mrs. Macann immediately brought out the jug to treat Jim. The old man again begged for whisky to quench his thi! rst, which was about to consume him, but his request was not regarded; again he lay down and went to sleep. Mrs. Macann and Jim held a short conference, and then proceeded to murder the husband and father. The fiendish deed was accomplished by the son, in the presence of the wife, with a stout cudgel three feet long; he literally broke the father's head, and left his lifeless and mangled corpse lying by the camp-fire. There had been no provocation; the act was cool, deliberate, premeditated, and murderous. It was believed that the wife's object was to get rid of her husband, that she might secure a younger and more sprightly companion. The son, who was a fast young man, with a strong disgust for manual labor, wished to get possession of his father's property, which consisted of a good stock of cattle and horses. The entire community seemed shocked at the horrible and unnatural crime of the murder, and forthwith the light-horsemen arrested Jim and brought him before the proper tribunal to answer to the charge of murder in the first degree. The investigation was prosecuted with promptness; he was found guilty and sentenced to be shot. Jim succeeded, however, in obtaining a new trial, which was set for an early day; but there was no prison in which to confine him, and, before the time arrived in which the investigation was to be made, he absconded, and was next heard of in the "old nation," east of the Mississippi, a thousand miles distant. Their method and forms in the prosecution of criminals were of a primitive character. If a man was charged with crime it became the duty of the light-�horsemen to notify the accused to appear before the court, upon a set day, for trial; but during the interval the culprit went free. If a full-blooded Indian they had the fullest confidence that he would come voluntarily to the bar and meet courageously the impending decision; as his honor and bravery were involved no one feared that he would secrete himself or fly to escape sentence of the law. To be regarded as a coward was a doom more fearful, a thousand-fold, than death itself; he is altogether too brave to shun a judicial investigation; he is not afraid to die, but ready to face death with boldness. But half-breed Indians were not to be trusted; they were almost as mean and cowardly as white men themselves; they were alike destitute of honor and courage Jim Macann was a half-breed; he was "no brave," and, hence, to save h! is unworthy life, fled from his tribe that he might obtain a refuge in a distant land. also... Calvin was the brother-in-law of Jim Macann, and had been much enraged at the light-horsemen for their promptness in arresting Jim and bringing him to trial. He had sworn that he would wreak his vengeance upon Captain Riddle; this threat was made in the presence of one of Riddle's friends. Calvin had been seen in the bushes, near the Captain's residence, with his rifle in hand, and, when challenged, he boldly declared that his object was to kill Riddle. Thus matters stood for a number of weeks. Calvin's deadly hostility could not be over come, although he knew full well that Riddle's acts had been official and not characterized by personal animosity. They met for the first time after the difficulty at Ayakni Achukma, when Riddle, T. Walls, T. M'Kenny, and C. James, all light-horsemen, approached Calvin and Lewis Macann, and asked if it was true that he Calvin had sworn vengeance against the light-horsemen, and against himself Riddle in particular? Calvin said it was true, and that his purpose was to kill every man of them, commencing with Riddle. The light-horsemen then simultaneously fired upon Calvin and Lewis Macann, killing them instantly. The deed was violent and much to be regretted, and yet there seemed to be no remedy less cruel and bloody. They had only acted in their official capacity in the act which gave mortal offense, and then, to protect their lives, they were forced to destroy those who had sworn vengeance against them. They immediately surrendered themselves to the authorities, and demanded an investigation, which resulted in their acquittal; the authorities fully justified them in the deed. A man who deliberately and persistently threatens murder is considered an outlaw and treated accordingly. But, after this unhappy occurrence, Captain Riddle became gloomy and wretched; he reflected on himself, regretting that he had killed Calvin. He was sad and greatly depressed in spirit, and remarked to a friend, "I never before shed blood ; I am not a murderer, had no malice in my heart against Calvin. I wish I had not touched him, but had run the risk of being shot myself; I am now so wretched that I would rather die than live!� Some months after that event Mr. Riddle's business called him into the southern part of the tribe; and, while in the vicinity of Fort Towson, he had an attack of toothache and neuralgia in the face. The surgeon at the Fort was called to see him, extracted the decayed tooth, and gave him medicine, not regarding the symptoms by any means alarming. Mr. Goode, being in that part of the nation, called to see Riddle, but did not think him seriously ill. He did not improve, however, but, gradually declining, in a few days died, apparently from mental rather than physical sufferings. He was a national loss a good, honest, patriotic, and capable officer whom the tribe could not well spare. We knew no Choctaw for whom we felt greater respect than for William Riddle, the United States Interpreter and captain of' the light-horsemen, or marshals, of his district. His son, Philip, was in the Academy a fine, sprightly lad of twelve years of age and, when we left that country, was making fi! ne progress in his studies; he was an unusually promising youth.

    1. [CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST] Kincade's and McCann's
    2. Jennifer Mieirs
    3. The Kincade family is a HARD one to trace. I know that history book's mention Joseph Kincade was the nephew of Mushulatubbee. I have found a possible connection with the McCann's, but I can't figure them out either. Joseph Kincade was chief briefly in the Mushulatubbee district, and it is likely the children in San Bois and SKullyville are related to him. There is also an Andrew Kincade, who appears to perhaps be Joseph's brother. In 1900 James Kincade the son of Joseph Kincade is living with Martin Whistler, he's listed as a cousin. I do know that he's not a first cousin. Martin Whistler was the son of Sina Wright, who was the daughter of Melissa McCann. Melissa is the daughter of Cornelius McCann. Cornelius isn't listed on the 1856 because he was murdered by his son, the murder is discussed in "Life among the Choctaw's" In 1856 Robert Kincade has two McCann's living with him, so it is possible A. his wife was the daughter of Cornelius McCann B. His wife was the much younger wife of Cornelius mentioned in "Life among the Choctaws" C. Robert's mother was related to Cornelius McCann.... More to Follow... Any Ideas?
