I have a couple of genealogy questions. I am looking for the ancestors of John Moore who married Emilee Nancy Folsom and stayed in Miss. when the Choctaws were moved to Ark. He is listed on the 1831 list as someone who was white, wife full blood Indian, four children above 10, three below. There were several children that were already married. My husband descends from his son Martin who married Eleanor Boney. I know that some of the children that were living John must have applied for Indian citizenship. Did that make them automatically guaranteed of having it. One daughter Nancy, who married Capt. John Perry, tried to get it but they said she abandoned the land because she only stayed there for three years. Descendants of Silas were turned down because they could not "prove" that they were descendants of John, from what I understand, although a witness said he knew them and named Silas, Martin, and Jesse as the sons of JOhn. I think that John and Dempsey were also his sons that I have identified. The name Folsom seems to be well known among the Choctaw so it would seem that someone would be able to identify who Nancy was. I have looked at Folsom history but the history that was related by a descendant does not include Nancy marrying John Moore. They definitely were with the children of Nathaniel Folsom, so I assume she would be his daughter. Does anyone have any info on the Moore-Folsom family, or know where I could look. Many researchers have tried to crack this puzzle, I believe, and I am determined. When White-Indian marriages took place, were they recorded? Martin Moore was a Methodist Episcopalian minister, and I noticed that there were other well know Methodist Episcopalian ministers. Finding that Martin Moores was half Indian answers a lot of questions as to why he was living where he was in Georgia, Alabama, and Miss. His grandson, Andrew Clinton Moore, when living in Red River Co., Texas, married a "half Indian girl" named Nancy Matlock from Arkansas. We just know that her mother was named Josephine and have been unable to find a last name. I am wondering if his father, Jesse Redwine Moore, married an Indian girl when he married Ellender Watson. Are any of the Watsons Choctaw? They were married in Lafayette Co., Miss. I am hoping that someone will have some clues so we can identify John Moore and Nancy Folsom. Does anyone know where Nathaniel was when he married his Indian wives, or where his two brothers that also married Indian wives were living? Joyce Moore
