Hi everyone, To Carole, Mary, Roberta, Sylvia, Bev, and Keith and any other I might have missed Thanks for all the help. I just wasn't sure we had a active list here. Now that we do. Lets get some activity going. Like nearly everyone, I have Native Americans on all sides of my family, and have discovered my children's father also has, I am (Divorced) (remarried) and of course I like to find their family side as well To the best of my knowledge we are Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Cherokee. I am researching: Mann. Burks, Garrett, Miller, Deer, (NA) The other side is : Richardson, Ewing, Maples, Brotherton, and of course many others some yet not named. Most of my people arrived in America in the 1600 and 1700's settling in the New England states by the late 1600' or by the 1750's they had moved south into the VA"S the N & S C's TN. and MS. Some of my white side fought in the Civil war on each side, and some of them were in the Indian Wars. I have a paper ( sworn Statement) filled out and signed by my G-grandfather James Crawford Burks on June 9,1910 in Tippah Co, Mississippi.Where he lists his family members and grandparents. In this paper he even states where the g-grandparents were registered/enrolled ----Abstract No. 5 reported by Taylor (gane???) and Rush. They were listed and located on Sec. 21 row 13 R 14 E and the Family No. was 388. But I don't know where this is reg. or enrolled with. I have posted and queried almost everywhere, in hopes to find some little thread. I have a feeling my people did not move to Oklahoma, that they stayed in MS. and that Fah-ah-ma tubbee may have taken the name Garrett. as a last name. Thanks for me taking up your time and Thanks for the Help. I also try and collect some of the stories of our Native American Parents and their dealings with our white Parents. If anyone has stories to share I'd love to hear them. My Choctaw grandmother died in Childbirth at the age of 23 my mother being only three at the time 1920, I miss her, I wish I had know her.
