    3. Researching the Cornish family who migrated from southern western Arkansas and north west Louisiana. They migrated from Lauderdale Co, AL to Arkansas. I have a hunch from there migrating pattern that they were in touch with the Chickasaw tribe as well as the Choctaw. Many settled in old Cornish about 1870. John H Cornish had a general store and established a post office box for Cornish when it was Indian Territory. He was also, involved in the cattle business and ferrying goods across the Red River at Burneyville. His siblings were Penelope Rebecah OVERSTREET, Watson Reed CORNISH, William Lucas CORNISH, Sallie Middleton THOMPSON, Ida USSERY, Helen GOODE. Included are the surnames of marriages in Arkansas that migrated to Texas and Indian Territory many of them were involved in the cattle business. Most of them spoke Choctaw and appeared to have been involved with members of the Choctaw tribe on a regular basis. This family were descendents of a Choctaw woman named Maglusher and a white man named Moses Foster, Copiah Co, Mississippi.
