I am looking for which of my direct ancestors married into the Cherokee Tribes. My Father James William Childers is listed on the Final Dawes Rolls as 1/4 but I cannot establish clearly which of his grandfathers (or grandmothers) was the original Cherokee. I would truly appreciate any help or suggestions. David M. Childers

The US Geological Service website for GNIS (Geographic Name Information System) shows Newby OK to be in Creek County, a few miles just about straight south of the town of Bristow. I can't find it as being shown on my OK map, but the GNIS shows its location to be as above described. ----- Original Message ----- From: Liz & Kevin <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 9:23 AM Subject: Re: [IT ROOTS] Newby > ??? > I don't have cable or anything I also have not heard of Newby,Oklahoma > however that doesn't mean it doesn't exist Id like to know also. <SNIP>

There are over 255 of these money-making "Enterprises" going on with more being formed monthly since it was shown that people, in their zeal to "prove" (?) that they are "Indian" will pay ridiculous sums of money for "a card" whose paper content is more valuable than what's written upon it!!! In order to prove what a joke it is and that all that is required to be "enrolled" is a check book, so far we have been able to enroll a stuffed teddy bear as "a full-blood Cherokee" in one of the Georgia groups, a Dalmatian dog as one-half Cherokee in one of the Missouri groups, and a Barbi doll (the one dressed in buckskin, of course) as a quarter-blood Cherokee in one of the Arkansas groups- so pick which one of these that you want to be "blood brother" to, and get out your check book!! Even if they are State Certified-- that means nothing! It costs the state nothing-- totally NO obligation (it's a JOKE) and if they thought that they might bring in tourists, they would "certify" an Alaskan sled-dog! Jerri Chasteen

After asking for a lookup and they could not find our lines, my 80 year old mother sent this email to me. I needed a laugh today and I got one. I hope it does not offend anyone. If it does I apologize in advance. Lee Mom's message went like this: Leona- I BELIEVE OUR ANCESTERS MUST HAVE ALL BEEN OUTLAWS- they were all in hiding. didn't do much for their ancestors who are trying to find them. It is my understanding that if you lived in the Indian Territory you had to register and have permission, Guess ours didn't believe in being law abiding. and that is for SURE; Guess you have figured out by now that you did not decend from the upper crust. mom --

We are searching for information about James Alonzo Gregory and his two brothers, Thomas and William, from the Ft. Smith area, as well as Carmen and LeFleur areas. Any information would be a great help. We know that James was sentenced out of Judge Parker's court and shipped to the Ohio Penitentiary to serve his time from about 1888 - 1894. Arlene Gregory

Thanks Sharon. No, I don't mind. She wrote me today. :-) I have a friend searching for her g-g-g grandmother Polly Vann, b. 1790-1810's. Married to Thompson Wall. Had a daughter named Dionicia, b. around 1829, m. Anthony Francis Marion Larue about 1855. Polly was born early 1800's, 1790-1820's. Dionicia's daugher Lillianne Larue, b. Oct. 2,1857, Mountain Grove, Wright County, Missouri, m. William Henry Hill, b. Dec. 25, 1847. Any information would be very helpful. Especially on Dionicia and Polly. Not sure of any of these spellings. Especially Polly, considering many, MANY women were nicknamed Polly then. If anybody has any info please contact Elizabeth at [email protected] Thanks. ----Valerie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

My interest is in the Easttam/Easthams who lived around Antlers and Bennington in the 1880s and 1890s. The father was Samuel Easttam whose mother was a Mississippi Choctaw, and his wife Catherine was part Cherokee. Need more information about their parents. Samuel had been married before (no name for wife), and Catherine had been married before to a Mr. Reeves. Samuel and Catherine were my great-grandparents. Would appreciate any help. Molly Dixon

The following are surnames I am researching in IT and early/present OK: Reaves George Kirklin Magee Harper Mullens Parsley Collins Sage Wilson The James Washington Reaves family migrated to IT about 1892 from Collin County, Texas, eventually ending up in or near present day Wagoner, Oklahoma.

I have some information and photos to share.

Jerri, Thanks for the info on how to delete the HTML that was causing me problems. Olin Petitjean.

Hi List, does anyone know about the LOST TRIBE OF THE CHEROKEE of Arkansas & Missouri? This is geared toward helping recognized and unrecognized native americans trace their roots. I read of a meeting held near me but didn't get to attend, just wondering if anyone has heard of them? I am researching WOOD, KING,CROW, & DANIELS. Thank you, Lynn

Searching for Justice, Pell, Troutman, Keener families. Any info appreciated! Especially any info on Dick Justice, aka Dik Kih The Just. Thanks!

Guerin/Geurin are different spellings for Garvin, too. The soundex for these names is G615. Alot of our ancesters couldn't read or write. When they were asked what their names were so someone could write them down; the writer spelled the name as it sounded to them. That is why there is so many different spellings of this last name. Also the the O', and Mc, and Mac were dropped from alot of these family names. Here are some of the spellings of this last name. I have found the same people's spellings of their last names different at times. Garvin,Garven, Garven, Gervin, Geurven, Geurvan, Geurvin, Guervin, Girvin, Gavin, Garwin, Garvine, Garvick, Garvinn, Garrighan, Gaurbein, ect... With a Scot-Irish accent the names could sound so different. Angela [email protected]
