Was not on the computer for a few days, so want to enter the names I am looking for. They are Sallie Washington, her family and her mother Elizabeth Washington. Elizabeth Washington's maiden name was Folsom. I am told the last name of Washington or Folsom was also once Ray. But, Washington is the name under which my greatgrandmother and her family are listed on the Dawes Roll. I am also looking for anyone related to or who knows of the John VanMatre family who are also listed on the Dawes records. They are also related to me through my grandfather. Once again, they changed their name to Vann sometime after the rolls were taken. I'm not sure when they were changed, but some of their family had the last name VanMatre and others had Vann. Now, all have Vann. Thanks, Oleta Willhite o.willhite@worldnet.att.net

I am looking for the name, address and phone number of the Cherokee Chief. Thanks for any help. Dawn

Can anyone give me a phone number for the Cherokee Nation Arts and Crafts center??� I am planning a quick trip to Tahlequah tomorrow and need some info.� If anyone can help, would sure appreciate it.� Sue

Hi Marti, On the 7th, I found that I had a real backlog in my messages. I began to look at the subject and delete them to clean up my list. Apparently, I was too hasty. I remember seeing one that didn't ring a bell and I hit the delete button. Then I saw your name ane could just barely read the the message that had been sent to several people. As the screen was disappearing, I saw that Mr. Lowrey was included in the list... So I do not know if the Mr. Lowrey was intended for me or not, however, if it was, I don't wish to be rude and not ackowledge the message. I had seen earlier the there was to be a meeting of people at Nicoma Park for those on one of the lists. I am on about 6 lists and don't know which one was involved. However, I live in VA and have so far, this year, attended a Nancy Ward Meeting in TN and also attended my 50th H.S. reunion in CA. So, IF the message was for me, and was about the meeting in Nicoma Park, I have already used up my travel allowance for 99 and will not be able to make the trip.. Someday---I would be most happy to join the group.. AND, I would take this opportunity to thank you for all of the great service that you have provide to list members over the years... Wado, Keith Lowrey

BELL, Elizabeth and WATKINS, William: For years I thought that my Grandmother Elizabeth WATKINS nee BELL was Cherokee. William was born in Warren or Wayne County, TN. Which was Chickasaw Territory? My guess now is that she maybe CHICKASAW. William and Elizabeth migrated in 1848-49 to Carroll County, Osage Township, Arkansas where their children were born. The 1860 census of Carroll County, AR shows that Elizabeth born ca. 1830 in North Carolina. Yet all the children's death certificates show that she was born in TN. William was killed in the Civil War but I don't know when or where. All to their children migrated to Cherokee County, OK. Three of the children married the children and grand children of Caleb Starr Thompson. The descendants of Nancy WARD. I don't know what happened to Elizabeth. I don't know when or where she died at. I even don't know the names of her Parents or Brothers and Sisters. Their children; George Gordon WATKINS Born Nov. 23, 1854 in Carroll County, AR Hugh Thomas WATKINS Born May 10, 1855, in Berryville, AR Carroll County. John Benjamin McCullock WATKINS Born Oct. 18, 1861 Died Jul. 05, 1924 in Pueblo, CO. Mary Tennessee WATKINS Born Feb. 17, 1866 Died Feb. 15, 1940 Mary's first husband was Elihugh L. Thompson. Her second husband was E. H. CHASTAIN. I would truly appreciate any suggestions. Sincerely, Jared B. Houdre OakFlats@aol.com

Looking for information about Sam Pierce whos wife Lou Larkin Pierce died May 1, 1976. She is buried in Restland cemetery. I am getting desperate. Wanda

BELL, Elizabeth and WATKINS, William: For years I thought that my Great-Great-Great-Grand Mother Elizabeth WATKINS (nee Bell) was Cherokee. My guess now is that she maybe CHICKASAW. Elizabeth married William WATKINS and William was born in Warren County, TN. Warren County was Chickasaw Territory. William and Elizabeth migrated in 1848-49 to Carroll County OsageTownship Arkansas where their children were born. The 1860 census of Carroll County shows that Elizabeth born ca. 1830 in North Carolina yet all the children's death certificates show her birth place as TN. In fact they had a daughter that they named Mary Tennessee WATKINS. William was killed in the Civil War but I don't know when or where. Any suggestions I would truly appreciate. All of the children migrated to Cherokee County, OK. Also three of the children married the children and grand children of Caleb Starr THOMPSON. The descendant of NANCY WARD. I don't know what happened to Elizabeth. I don't know when she died or where she is buried. I don't even know the names of her PARENTS or BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I would truly appreciate any suggestions. I have looked at this problem so long that I am sure I have missed something. Sincerely, Jared B. Houdre' OakFlats@aol.com
