Surnames: Ladiga Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5R.2ADI/1089 Message Board Post: I am assisting in a research project concerning a Creek woman named Sally Ladiga. According to Alabama court records she is reputed to have died between 1847 and 1849. The court record also contains the following: "Sally Ladiga was a Creek Indian, and had been enrolled as one of that tribe by the agent of the General Government, under the treaty of March 24, 1832; that she resided on the land in controversy, both before and after that treaty, and had a cabin upon it, and also a field; that she had no husband living at the date of the treaty, but that she had raised a family of children, all of whom had married and settled off to themselves; that the only persons who resided with her were, an Indian woman named Letter and her child, and also a boy named Ar-chee-chee; that Sally claimed this boy as her grand-son, and there was proof tending to show that he was such, and that his parents were dead. The proof also tended to show, that Ar-chee-chee resided with Sally, both befo! re and after the treaty; but there was a conflict in the evidence, as to whether he was related to her or not. The Indian woman Letter was not related to Sally, but lived with her, and cultivated her field for her; and it further appeared, that Letter had been located under the treaty as "the head of a family," upon a half section of land. The testimony also showed, that Sally Ladiga applied to the locating agents of the Government, and claimed to be located as "the head of a family," on the half section of land in controversy; but her application was refused, on the ground that she was not "the head of a family." Her first application was made to M. M. Houston, a locating agent, who testified in this cause, that he determined upon evidence satisfactory to him that she was not entitled to a half section of land, as the head of a family under the treaty. After failing in her application to Houston, she applied to other locating agents, all of whom rejected her claim. She continued, however, to reside upon the land, until 1833 or 1834, when, in consequence of some difficulty that arose between her and one Smith, who, it appears, entered upon the land, and opened a field including her cabin and field, she left the place, and went to reside with a relative. Some time, however, in 1838, she was found by a soldier of the United States army, occupying a shelter upon or near the land, and was carried by him to an emigrating company about to start west, and then at Ross' Landing; and in the fall of that year, she did start with said company to Arkansas, but never reached the west bank of the Mississippi river. There was also proof tending to show, that some of the white settlers used their influence with Houston, the locating agent, to prevent the allowance of her claim, by representing, and expressing their opinion, that she was not the head of a family; and there was also evidence going to show that the boy Archeechee was not relatedto her; that on one occasion, she represented the Indian woman Letter to be a part of her family, although she was not related to her, and had! herself been located on a half section of land as the head of a family; that she had also presented to the agent her children, as parts of her family, although they were married, and settled off to themselves; and that the boy Archeechee and the Indian woman and her child were the only persons living with Sally at the date of the treaty." Source of excerpt: Rowland v. Ladiga, 1852 WL 101, *1 (Ala.) to 1852 WL 101, *2 (Ala.) I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who could direct me to sources of more detailed personal information about Sally Ladiga. Thank you.

(unknown maiden) who married an unknown Baxter. Anna was born April 1840 in Cherokee, Georgia . It has been told to me, that Anna was of Indian heritage, and that my gg-grandfather met her, took her home and married her. I was lucky to find Anna living in 1880 with her son Sanford H. Baxter, b. 1858 (my g-grandfather) in Paulding County, Georgia. Besides Sanford, Anna had two other sons. They were John A. Baxter, b. 1870 and Charley Gordon Baxter, b. 21 May 1876, all born in Georgia. As far, as I can tell, Anna must have died after the 1900 Paulding Co., Ga. census was taken. I cannot find any further information about her other than what I have above. Any help with this family is very welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Ron, did you realize that former Post Master General and very wealthy Montgomery, AL business man Winton Blount (1921-2002) was nicknamed "Red". He had the flaming red hair and turned white in his older years, maintaining the red streak down the front. Montgomery is very proud of Red Blount. He was responsible for the largest Shakespeare Theater and (English style) cultural park in the eastern states. He was a very generous man that always gave back to our community in so many ways. http://www.au.af.mil/au/goe/eaglebios/01bios/blount01.htm http://www.archives.state.al.us/famous/academy/w_blount.html Just thought you'd want to know.
