The Choctaws and other tribes were also removed during the time of the TOT. There routes were different, but they were removed just the same. Many of the Choctaws did come from central and lower Mississippi. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Tkstet1@aol.com> To: <indian-territory-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 5:16 PM Subject: Re: [INDIAN-TERRITORY-ROOTS] Cox Family - Atoka City and Stringtown,Oklahoma > Ok,---Tn,Mississippi,Ar,Ok,To California...thanks dont have notes in front > of > me to give it all. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > INDIAN-TERRITORY-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

While everyone is talking. Does anyone have any knowledge of my elusive ancestors? My grandfather was Charles Winston Fredrick Ray Bryant. He claimed to have been born near Hattiesburg Mississippi but no birth records have ever been located. He was the youngest of four children that I know of...two sisters and one brother. He had no memory of his mother since she died either during or shortly after his birth. They arrived in Arkansas around 1910. The only name that was ever known for his father was simply "Jesse Bryant" he is buried in an unmarked grave in Saline County, Arkansas. I have a copy of one old photo which shows him as a very dark man (compared to the white man standing beside him in a corn field) tall, with dark hair. The picture is not very clear. The family traveled to OK, and then back to AR. As a child I was told my great grandmother was Indian. But no one remains alive that has any information to my knowledge about her. My grandfather received his social security as a result of an aunt who wrote a letter stating she was present at his birth. My other elusive side carries the last name Beard. My great grandfather was named Henry Hoyt Beard and was born near Rome, Ga. That is as far back as I have been able to trace. He was born some where around 1880-1890. I don't have the exact date handy. His mother's name was Molly, she married a gentleman with the last name Tull in Arkansas prior to 1900. Hoyt married Mae Bell Martin in Saline County Arkansas. I know nothing about her. Other family names are Rowland, Lowrance, Crowson. The Crowson line is pretty much searched out back to VA in the mid 1600's. The Rowland and Lowrance families migrated through Tenn. and northern Ga that I know for sure. I'm really glad to see and read all the communication during the last week or so. I've been on this list for a long time and this is the most active I've seen it. Great to see all the communications. Glad you are all here.
