Surnames: Cox, Daniels, Brashears, Walker Harmon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CkB.2ACI/2306 Message Board Post: JOHN COX b. 1830 Tenn ,was listed next door to Charles Cox in the 1870 census of Bell County, Texas. Charles might be related. CHARLES COX was born 1840 in Tennessee, and died Abt. 1890 in Latham, LaFlore County, Oklahoma. He married LETHA DANIELS b Abt. 1862, daughter of ALFRED DANIELS and MARYBRASHEARS. Some of the children were; Emma b. 1862, Charley b. 1865, John b. 1870, Joseph Rufus, b. 1877, Maggie Etta b. 1880, Letha A. b. 1882. All of Charles’ children were born in the Choctaw Nation. John married RACHEL HARMON WALKER who was b. 1831 in Alabama and died 1909 in Kimble County Texas. John died 1914 in Kimble County Texas. Some of the children were; Sarah J. b. 1854 in TN. MATTIE TENNESSEE, my great grandmother, Mary b. 1860 and Henrietta b. 1867. The children were born in Arkansas and the Choctaw Nation. I have virtually no documentation to prove this information. I gleaned this from what others posted and from the census data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Oklahoma State GenWeb Project has two divisions. One is designated "IT", for "Indian Territory". You can get to the sites by either going through the Ok State pages or going directly to IT and finding the Indian Nation you want to search. Your nation is there and also listed as part of a five nation confederation. I found some of the "Oral Histories" to be much more enlightening than a simple chart with names and birthdays and such. Oral histories usually contain name changes which appear to be a common practice among many Indian folks. You should be able to read about name changing practices on the Ok website. If you haven't read about the tribe you are researching you may want to go to the Ms GenWeb Project. There is quite an interesting history there, including how the tribe ended up in Ok. They were not the sort of tribe one sees in the movies or on TV. In fact, they were far more advanced than their European neighbors in early Mississippi. Have fun. There is some great stuff on the net!
