Thank you for the pictures of Jesse W. James' grave stones and others. The Woodson in his name is probably from Dr. John Woodson who came to Jamestown in 1619. Jesse is a descendant of John. Betty.

Hi, The Caddoes were a mostly peaceful roving band who settled North and West of Erath County., Texas, where they built homes, barns, cow and hog pens before 1860 and had crops and gardens in Palo Pinto County. John R.Baylor was a part time Texas Ranger posse leader unded Col. Buck Barry of Barry and Walnut Springs, Texas. he thpought the only good Indian was a Dead one. (This was not Rev. R.E.B. Baylor who established Baylor University and Baylor Female College in Independence, Texas) Mr. Baylor led his volunteer CENTRAL tEXAS RANGERS from Waco north to Mineral Wells and to Comanche and Abilene, Texas, not hunting prisoners as posses are supposed to My Great Grandad Robert Wyly and 1 or 2 brothers rode with him on 1 or 2 hunts for escaped murderers. before 1870, when Mr. Baylor soon left and became Governor of Arizona. Maybe he ran the Caddoes out. The Central Texas Volunteers closed the Fort Graham and Fort Griffin Reservations and sent them all to the U.S. Army post at Abilene, Fort Phantom Hill. They rode int Caddo farms- of and shot livestock and a few peopke like a woman reaching for a kid and they thought it was a rifle. Then they rode into Fort Phantom Hill and told the Army Commander to have all the Indians there in Oklahoma or they would come back and kill all Indians and resisting soldiers. These folk settled in Caddo and Chickasha, Oklahoma, southwest of OKC (Oklahoma City) Huaco Indians went to the Wichita reservation- one still lives and comes to Waco a few times a year for special occasions. Remember, the Texas Caddoes were a bffer between Marauiding Nomadic Apache and Comanches and Erath County settlers. The population of Erath County during the Thurber Coal mines of 1900 was more than in 1989 as a Universithy Town, but we don't worry about being attacked by Natoivers going to Lubbock now- or do we, ? Texas Germans had no such buffer reaching into Oklahoma.

I am going to reply privately to the question re the Renfroe's and Indian hertiage because I don't think it is of general interest but if anyone is interested let me know and I will be happy to share. The cases I was talking about is where the person actually requested to be removed from the rolls, not where they were unable to provide proof. Judy

At least some of the Caddo's ended up in OK. I grew up in Caddo County OK, adjoining counties are Kiowa, Comanche. There are also towns named Apache, Arapaho and so on. These are close to Lawton OK where Fort Sill is located. That is where Geronimo was imprisoned for a time. There is still a large population of Indians in the area. In fact Anadarko which is the county seat of Caddo County calls itself the Indian Capitol of the the world. One of the attractions is Indian City with a museum and other exhibits. There is a large parade and celebration every year to celebrate Indian hertiage. Most of the Indians in this area were the Plains Indians. When the area was opened to settlement every one who could establish their Indian blood was given 160 areas of land. This included each child. Much of this land is still in the hands of the descendents of the orginal owner. Incidently if it was an Indian grant and remains in the family and not sold they pay no property taxes of any kind on it.

Hi, Jesse Bushyhead.s Indian heritage was from the Longhair clan of the Cherokees. Indian Agent Gen. Joseph Martin had 2 Anglo and 3 or more Cherokee wives at one time or another. Polygamy was allowed but not common in the Cherokee Nation. Some Anglo women would overlook the husband's Indian wife as it guaranteed her and her family's safety from Indian attack and they were not in the same community at the same time. Gen. Martin married Susannah Graves and her sister Mary Graves. They trace to Thpomas Graves of Jamestown. married Col. Ben Cleveland Sam Houston, Pres. of Republic of Texas welcomed Cherokee and Choctaw and Caddo and wanted all north and east of Tyler , Texas. So many intermarried came that they settled down to Cherokee County , Texas, near Livingston , where the Alabama- Coshuta Reservation today. On the Reservation in the Visitor's area is a Presbyterian Church for Tribal members. Baylor Universith held a Powwow for various tribes a few years ago. The Alabama - Coshata were the best matched and most colorful dancers there in White and Red bright Indian dress. The Buffalo River Indian Baptist church started in an auxiliary chapel and has moved up the Brazos. Several Baylor students attend it today and are working on one of three levels of degrees. Others are in various Flea Market businesses and Art and beauty shops and there is one Quala- T shirt and cap printing company . Sounds like Quala Cherokee. One from Waco was on the Tribal Council in Tahlequah. I.T. The church was in the Bellmead First Baptist Church East of Waco. The next President of Texas rejected the idea of a reservation but those who spoke and dressed Anglo style and had farms were botherred less. Those who followed Tribal customs openly were sent on a Trail of Tears out of Texas. My wife's nephew, a Tyler worker, was of that group but his grandad took the name Smith.

Could someone explain the difference in these? What areas did they come from? and where did they go? The caddos disappeared from Ar. many years ago. Wonder where they went or what happened to them? What is the difference in a muskogee and a cherokee?

Charles, We have Foremans in my husband's family. My husband's Grandfather, David Clarence Greenlee, had a sister, Mary Catherine Greenlee, who married James William Foreman. They lived in MS and both died in Hickory, MS. Mr. Foreman was born July 15, 1857, in Moultre, GA. They married March 26, 1885 in Hickory, MS. Would this be any of your family? Thanks, Dortha McElroy Greenlee

Some thoughts on the Lost Cause: During the Civil War John Mosby was knon as the Grey Ghost. He was the guerilla calvary leader that raided Union forces and supply trains.He captured a Union General and even hanged prisoners. He had a long life dieing in 1916.In 1872 he became a scalawag which landed appointments in the foreign servive. Mosby had firm ideas . He said we fought for slavery.He made no bones about it . There are two bookx that really portray the the south during Reconstruction .First is David Blight, ".Race and Reunion, The CivilWar in American Memory", and "White Terror, The Ku Klux KLan Conspiracy and Southern Reconstruction" by Allen Trelease. Trelease is professor at the Un. of North Carolina,His work is the first full scale scholary study of the Ku Klux Klan and of its role in the wave of white terrorism that swept the south after the Civil War. Blight is also from the Un of North Carolina, Tony Horowitz says this the best book ever written on the memory of Americans greatest conflict. I am 84 years anf family reach back into the Civil Wsr and Reconstruction- in fact to the American Revolution. My paternal Grandfather was Confederacy Army veteran and all my maternal grand relatives came to Texas in the late 1920s . I have read "Southwest Historical Journal" for many years to keep wih southern history. Frank .

The Trail of Tears started in 1838, and removal was complete in 1939. However, many Cherokees had started leaving for Arkansas many years before. Tahlonteeskee, brother to John Jolly (Olooteskee), left Tennessee for Arkansas in about 1808.

Could you tell me where the grist mill is located? I have looked for many years for it. No one had a knowledge of it until you mentioned it. wyly1@juno.com wrote: > Hi, > Will finish now.

I am hoping Charles or someone on the list can answer a question for me. In Tennessee there are a number of cases of Indians including a number of Renfro's who are listed as having removed themselves from the Indian rolls. I have just always assumed this was an attempt to avoid being forced to move by the goverment. Does anyone know if my guess is correct? As it turned out my Mark Renfroe left TN (probably Wayne County) in 1837 and came to old Lawrence County AR. So it appears they still left either voluntarily or involuntarily. Would appreciate any info on people choosing to be removed from the rolls. I know that some of Mary's Turney family came from TN to AR about the same time.

Hi, Will finish now. Anywhere the Indians were removed to, they either found other rovings who considerred them as intruders . In Arkansas it was the Intermarrieds like Will Roger's family and John Jolly, Sam Houston's friend and the Blackburns who built the War Eagle River grist mill, still running, who had taken the best land. which had been promised to the ones forced on the Trail of Tears later, It was not unusual for Indians to be given blankets infested with smallpox, which they could not resist . Jesse Bushyhead, grandson of Capt. John Stuart and ancestor of Tahlequah Wylys was a well educated Baptist minister and translater and worked from the Baptist missions office . He and Cousin John Foreman were held all summer in Camp Hetzel, Georgia. They built plle bleachers and had daily Bible studies and hymn singing. When the first norther hit, they were started on foot with mounted soldiers around them on the way to Oklahoma on a forced march- no stops if one passed oput or died- his froends would grab him and drag him until the night stop and hastily butry him. About half of his party got to Bushyhead Mountain in Arkansas alive. For some tribes the Trails of Tears did not end until after the Civil War. Caddoees and Cherokees who could be identified from Anglos were sent to Oklahoma about 1850 by R.E.B. Baylor and his " Central Texas Rangers" . Many returned to Texas living , dressing, and looking like Anglos- many never left the same way. They refused to sign Tribal rolls as the broken pronioses on land and mistreatment was not worth the discrimination it would bring their families. Many took Anglo names just as slaves took the name of someone they respected. Take care, Charles A.

Hi, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Natchez trace , used by Indians leaving New Orleans for the Memphis area . Also, it depends on the tribe. western tribes moved much later than the Cherokees. The Hopi snd Navajo were excluded from their old range to a reservation later- After the Cherokee and Choctaw Trails of tears, mostly to Arkansas-and Indian Territory. The main goal ar t first was across the Mississippi. Mayesville- Fort Smith Ark. was a great melting pot of Indian, Mexican, Anglo, Black, and others. Take care, Charles A.

The "Trail of Tears" was what? 1829-1830. The native americans started leaving the areas long before they were forced to- simply because they could find no peace. Then it was one of Americas Favorite Heroes-wasn't it- that helped them move along at a little faster pace? Could you be more specific on the date? It might help us to help you.

The Cherokee in North Carolina intermarried with many white traders. I am interested in finding out about Jennie Arrowood who married William Howard an Englishman. They would have traveled from Virginia to SC and on into NC before the trail of tears. Have any of you ran across these names in your travels. Linda Gossett Cochran

Hi, the first Moores that popped into my mind was Charlie and Clarence Moore, brothers in Chalk Mountain., Erath County, Texas One had daughters Ailele and Carlene that I knew of. I am not sure if Hayden Moore was their brother or cousin or not close kin, They attended Chalk Mountain elementary and Stephenville High I attended Johnsville first. Today they would be in the Three Way Consolidated Independent School District between Glen rose, Somerville County and Stephenville. and would be bussed to Hico, Hamilton county for High School . Charlie used to combine some oats, barley, Vetch, and Maize or Milo for my dad. . They were both farmers. (Charlie and Clarence). Charlie may have been Charles, but Charlie was all I ever heard.

Can anyone tell me the most direct route from Blount, Al to Hot Springs, Ar. The wagon was pulled by a team of oxen and it took 3 mo. They left Al. in the spring of 1865. Taking into consideration, the rains, or swollen creeks, how would it be possible to travel that distance in such a short time span.
