I have a particular interest in the Fort Mims event because several of my brick wall ancestors bear the surnames of people known to have died at the fort. You contacted me a good while ago with an urgent request for information for this book, but I could not meet your time constraints and lost track of your message. Now I see that you are still working on the book. If you still need assistance, please contact me privately by email. I don't remember the type of info you were seeking at the time, and I'm not an expert on the event, but will be glad to help you now if I can. And of course, I'll be interested in anything you've been able to uncover about the identities of the individuals attached to that surname list.

What does the name Nahoga mean? Lisa

Well technically it could be from other native languages, it's hard to discount one name from all the languages in north america. Especially since it could be just written down the way white people heard it. It could have been pronounced differently from the german form. Just an idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Woolf" <woolfpac@prodigy.net> To: <CREEK-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 11:30 PM Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] names > it's not an Native American name > > The meaning of Leota > Origin: German > Meaning: Of the people. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jo Freeman" <JFRBC@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU> > To: <CREEK-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 4:52 PM > Subject: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] names > > > > My grandmother's first name was Leota.

I am trying to find the parents of Leona "Lonie" Davis Goodson. She is listed on the 1910 census in MS, Monroe Co. She is 19 according to the census. Lonie married Homer Goodson in 1908. She had two daughters, Ethel, b.1909, and Mary,b.about 1912. Apparently Lonie died during or shortly after Mary's birth. Homer married again in Sept. of 1912. I lost track of Mary, Ethel continued to live with her father and step-mother. I found Mary on the 1920 census, living with Jasper N. Ellis and Lucy B. Ellis in Lowndes County. She is listed as an orphan. Jasper is 72, Lucy is 62. Mary is still with them in 1930, but now she is listed as daughter. This Mary is 18 in 1930, leading me to believe that she is the sister of Ethel, and daughter of Lonie. Ethel always said that her mother was Indian. Ethel was red skinned and had black hair and eyes. She was tall and thin when she was a young woman. I did not know Mary. I am trying to find out who Leona Davis's parents were. And how are Jasper and Lucy Ellis connected to Mary Goodson? Are they relatives of her mother? Ethel was my grandmother. Thanks for your help.

We have documented over two hundred persons, but very few of the Red Sticks. If you know of a source documenting any person who may have been there or died there, we would appreciate knowing about it - particularly any of the Red Sticks.
