Hi June, Got just a second tonight. I just got home. I was delighted to hear about your name Masters. Grandmaw Minnie being an Indian had always been just a story going around and no one really knew for sure. We had heard she was Choctaw and she lived in Mississipi. They have the MOWA Indians in Washington County, Alabama where the Choctaw Indians refused to leave, they stayed there in Washington County, Alabama about sixty miles outside of Mobile, Alabama. I am sending you one of the ways I found my grandmaw Minnie's name. Maybe you can make heads or tails of it. If this won't help, just go back to where your Internet comes up and type in you family name like Masters and Dawes Indian and see what it pulls you up. I have written off and I have heard from a couple of people who are still researching. I have a friend who has written a book, "They Call The Wind Red", she is helping me with my Choctaws. The Mowa she talks about are the Choctaws from Mobile and Washington County, Alabama, they called the Choctaws who stayed behind the Mowas. Keep in touch, please , and let me know how you are doing with your family.
