Curious about the Thomason connection, too. There was a widow who married Jesse Wadkins 1910 Carter Co., OK; she was called Granny Thomas, but should have been called Granny Thomason. She was Mary Thomason Reid when she married Jesse, making Jesse her third husband. Don't know her maiden name, but there is a Cannon researcher who knows more about her. Any connection?

Hi Julie; Can you tell me about your Thomasons who were in IT? My grandfather W.W. Thomason known as Wesley lived there. He came out of Texas. His father C.C. Thomason was born and died in Benton Co. AR but he also lived in Hood Co., Texas and Ft. Scott, Bourbon Co., Kansas. Tom William Thomason [email protected]

Hi, I am researching: HINCH, FEATHERSTON, DARNELL, PENDLEY, PRATER, FARBER. I believe there is Indian; but, have no idea which tribe in my Darnell line & know that there is in the Prater line; but, they are really hard to identify as such & I have noticed that many who indicate Indian lineage specify Cherokee....wish we could get so definite.

Once again. Thank everybody for the information that they've passed this way. It is very much appreciated. Sharon: George Caruth and Ellen Moore had a son named William Coffee Woodall, b. July 4, 1835. BUT, I also see where James Tuck and Elizabeth had a child by the same name. Which would have made them Uncle and nephew, obviously. If you are able to check out the rest of the family lines you'll see that there were many Williams, Nannies, Stands, Georges and Thomases. Also, Mary Annie Reese, Margaret Annie Reese is better known as Margaret Ann(e) Reese, at least this is what I always find her information under. He had no children with his second wife Margaret Agnew. Somebody asked for more information on Ellen and I'm sorry that I forgot to write down your name. I don't have much on her other than she was also known as Ailey and Aisley. I'm assuming the reason for this is because none native speakers had a hard time understanding the accent of the native tongues. You'll find her on the Old Settler's Rolls and the Old Settler Payment Rolls as Aisley. Also, her son Stand was known as Starr on the Payment rolls. Her father was Charles Moore, known among the Cherokee as Shooter, and her mother's name in Cherokee meant Glass. Supposedly, I have no proof of this, Charles was one of the signers of the Treaty of New Echota. George Woodall was also known as George Mummer. OH! And although our family "made it" in the Cherokee Nation, they were actually born Delaware (Lenape). For one reason or another they had been adopted into the Cherokee, though I'm not sure when. On one of the Rolls I've seen, can't remember which, although Ellen is listed as Cherokee, the information for parents, she has her parents listed as Delaware. William also frequently listed himself as Delaware. And although it's off this particular topics, some information about Emmett Starr that many may find helpful and answer some questions about why their families can't be found. Take into consideration that at the time many of the traditional families still practiced .....not sure of the actual word.... multiple marriages. A man could be married to many women at the same time. Almost always sisters. It was the way of the "clan" system. The women were head of the household and kept their homes. If anybody left the marriage, it was the man. So sisters married to the same man was not uncommon and was acceptable.....to the Cherokee. NOT to Mr. Starr. If a man had more than one wife, he only recognized the first wife and her children. I've been told that he did make acceptions now and then, but have seen no proof of it. Thought this information might be useful. Thank you again Sharon. I can definitely use this information. :-) I had no idea he had been voted into council until Jerri said something yesterday. And twice?! Hmmmmm? Does anybody know what kind of information the Cherokee Nation might have on him in their archives? If there's any way possible to get any of it without going to Oklahoma? Kind of impossible for me to travel right now and may be a long while before I am able. Thank you all again. ----Valerie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Valerie wrote: "<snip> Their daughter Sarah Ellen Marker m. William Coffee Woodall Jr. was my gg grandmother." Welcome, Valerie- we are happy to have you aboard! In 1936 a federal project created The Indian and Pioneer History Interviews of Oklahoma (read about them at http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/pioneer/pioneer.htm#about ). There are a number of Woodalls who are listed in the card-file index to these (microfilm IPH-39) and one was a delightful account of a trip that one branch of the Woodall family made to California during the gold rush days. There was one account of the wagon train being swooped down upon by one of the wild Indian tribes- and the attackers shock when they found who they were attacking! The result was that some of the "wild" Indians join them as guides You asked about information of William Coffey Woodall- there is information about parents, marriages, political life, and children in volume 11, pages 532/539 of these interviews. In volume 75, pages 388/400 there is more information about his life, including a 14-page interview with William Coffey Woodall Jr. These may be ordered (printed or on microfilm) through the Oklahoma Historical Society - see instructions at http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/pioneer/ohsindex.htm Good luck Jerri Chasteen

Hello everybody. Glad to have joined the list. Already making contact I hope. In response to Linda Davis and the message you posted yesterday. I'm also researching the Killbuck, Pye, Haff lines. My ggg grandmother was Mary Jane Killbuck m. John Marker. Their daughter Sarah Ellen Marker m. William Coffee Woodall Jr. was my gg grandmother. Their son Stand Woodall m. Louise Agnes Lesoeur my g-grandfather. And their son William Coffee Woodall m. Norma Grantello my grandfather. Please contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Would appreciate any information anybody has on these Killbuck or Woodall lines. Do know that William Coffee Woodall Sr. was voted in Senator of the Cherokee Nation after the Civil War. Does anybody know how to find information on him during his time in office? Also searching for information on the French/Wintu Indian Lesoeur's (?spelling). Was supposedly the first woman to graduate from Haskell Indian College. How do I find this information? ----Valerie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
