Kevin, on the 1870 Sebastian Co. Ark. census Center Twp. Pernussa's birthplace is listed as Mississippi, is this correct ? I located a Jacob Cotner with a wife named Sarah in 1850 on an index for Scott co. Ark. but I have been unable to verify this as yet. I believe that Ancestry .Com. has the wrong link listed for this one or something. I swear thier Indexes are the worst I've ever seen but the fact that they are listed at all means that they were somewhere in Ark. in 1850 . There were also several Traylor's listed in the same Twp but just as with the Cotner link it wasn't working either and when I looked at the actual census pages they were not listed on them so I believe Ancestry has the wrong county listed, so if we find one of these families we more than likely will find the other one near by. I did notice that two of these Scott Co. Traylor's were also listed as being born in Mississippi and one had a wife by the name of Ruth Ann which caught my eye sense there was a Smalley child on the 1870 census with the name Ruth Ann. I haven't been able to find anything usefull in the 1860 census so I suspect that we have to search for Taylor's instead of Traylor's, a common mistake . I'll let you know if I find anything else .

Yes Dean, your right in the respect that race has nothing to do with the fact that children born out of wedlock are usually given the mothers surname butttttt the difference in Indian woman living by the old customs is that an Indian woman need not be married to have children and still be looked upon with respect . From what little I know and have read is that Indian woman could have as many children as they wished without the bennifit of a husband if they chose to do so and this was common practice just as many men exspecially the Chiefs were allowed to have many wives. This may not be the case with all tribes but most of the 5 major tribes as I have read lived in this manner. Also according to one of the old customs unions were matrilinier (Sp. I don't use sp. check) I hope that I can explain this correctly . The children of an Indian woman living by the old customs were her children with or without the presents of a husband, they belonged to the mothers clan or tribe not the fathers. The Indian women still living by the old customs even into the late 1800's and after such time as they had taken on surnames would give thier children thier surnames just as a woman today would do. The difference though comes with the way it was looked upon by the Indians, it was a way of life for them that carried no shame, the shame was from the white man . I have an application to the Cherokee Nation made in 190? that I have in this mess somewhere, that the person submitting the affidavit says his grandmother was Cherokee and lived by the old customs having several children but never took a husband and always went by the surname of (????? ) as did all of her children. Upon researching this person and locating them on the census from 1830 till 1880 I did find the Applicant to be tell the truth, there was never a man in the household, the woman was always listed as HOH, I have found many other females living the same way also .

My grandparents, Jack A McCoy and Lizzie Sexton came out to Calif in the late 30's than back to Oklahoma and than back to California in the late 50's. While they were in Checotah they owned the motel and cafe on top of the hill(I think it was on a hill). If they were not in McIntosh Co they were in Haskell or Muskogee County.
