Hi, I finally had time to send this . My wife had one Riley brother near death in Van, Texas Monday. When we got home Wednesday, another had died in Dublin, Texas. ANCESTORS OF MARY JANE BUFFINGTON OF MAYSVILLE, ARKANSAS WITH GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE ROOTS- ANGLO AND CHEROKEE MARRIED rOBERT fLETCHER wYLY, B. 1827- SON OF CAPT. WILLIAM CLARK WYLY , c.s.a., TYLER,TEXAS B. IN HIAWASSE-TOCCOA GA. AREA. Capt Wyly was a brother to my Great Granddad Robert Wyly, age 13 at Shiloh. , so his Eddins- Yowell- Mitchell- Cleveland - Sevier-Hawkins line is the same. Supplied to me by Sidney McNair Wyly, of Tahlequah, Ok. , deceased and drawn in Fort Worth, Texas by Robert Fletcher Wyly, Jr., deceased. The Wyly Connor Real Estate in Tahlequah is on the Internet as a subsidiary of a Tulsa office. 1st Generation: Joshua Buffington, m. 1830 to Saber Lynch. Second Generation: Thomas Buffington married Mary Daniel. Jeter Lynch m. Nannie Martin, 1799 (Daughter of Gen. Joseph Martin, Cherokee Indian agent and Rev. War Vet)--- 3rd Generation: Ezekiel Buffington m. Mary Emory, sister of Susannah Emory who was the first wife of Capt. John Stuart, Rev. War. Marmaduke Daniel married Nannie Still, full blood Cherokee. Gen. Joseph Martin, m. 1775 to Susannah Emory. \gen. Martin's first wifeSusannah Graves, sister to Mary Graves, wife of Col.

He was also related to jesse Walton and sold Traveller's Rest Inn to Gen. J.R. Wyly & Sarah Clark afted Jesse left for Georgia Gold Fields. 4. th Generation. Joseph Martin and Susannah Childs, William Emory and --- Grant- 1/2 blood Cherokee of the "Longhair clan". 5 th Generation- Walter Childs married Mary Page, Ludealie Grant married a full blood Cherokee. William Buffington Wyly m.1901to Cora McNair (He was was brother to Percy, Robert lee, Julia, Captola, Albert Sidney, Marmaduke, and Zoe Augusta Wyly) Second Generation: Dr. Felix Hurd McNair married Nanny Sarah Bushy. Third Generation: Rev. Jesse Bushyhead married Eliza Wilkerson. Jesse's cousin John Foreman was in charge of the Missionary Baptist Mission board to the Indians. He and Jesse were imprisoned in Camp Hetzel, Ga. in warm weather to be held for cold weather to put them on the Trail of Tears. They were well educated and built pole bleachers for daily Bible Studies while in prison. Over 1/2 of Jesse's group died going to Arkansas Cherokee Nation. See Trail of Tears Book. It says when Jesse would translate sermons of Cousin John one sentence at a time, he would stop and give a loud Ugh- Hugh before going on. They were both involved in treaties when Jackson was turning on his Indian Treaties and Sam Houston's Friend John Jolly was already in Arkansas, with ancestors of Will Rogers and Movie star Linda Darnell- I understand some of this tree fits her. Sam and Jackson were friends- perhaps the Cherokee Removal of other friends and adopted brothers drove him to drink- it was Chief Jolly and friends in Arkansas who soberred him up and he came to Texas. Fourth Generation: OO-OO-Du-Tu ( Bushyhead)married Nannie Foreman. Fifth Generation: Capt. John Stuart, Rev. War m. Susannah Emory-parents of OO-OO-Du-Tu Her second husband was Richard Fields Susannah was a widely respected "Divine" (Beloved Woman?) Confused Yet? Robert Fletcher Wyly was accepted into the tribe- Mary Jane Buffington was kin to a chief somewhere on this chart. He was the first White to be appointed to office in the Cherokee Nation and was also Editor of the Cherokee Advocate, printed in the Cherokee Alphabet of Sequoya. , in Oklahoma. He was also Attorney General of the Cherokee Nation and became a District Judge. He was 6"6" tall in stockings. His son, William Buffington Wyly,was appointed Chief of Police for Tahlequah, I.T. in 1893 after the former chief and deputy were killed in a street gunfight. He was 18.Percy and Partner built the Lawrence- Wyly Trading post and a bank or two.He was also Superintendent of the Cherokee Nation orphanage in 1900. and becme Postmaster. Percy Wyly, Sr. was a Regional FBI supervisor under J. Edgar Hoover for 27 years and supervised the integration of the State of Mississippi. He retired as Security Chief of Albequerque Schools and the Sandia Corp. One of his brothers attended Univ. of Glasgow Medical School 7 years, returned to Tahlequah, and died. Percy Jr' is now an attorney in Albequerque. Also- the Stuart name- notice this Indian descendant of his refused his name- a Royal Family in England. I used to visit with a John Outlaw, deceased, Valley Mills . Texas and after a trip to the Gatlainburg Sevier Reunion I told him a John Outlaw was Col. Sevier's attorney in a Knoxville suit over a race horse sale. He said that was his ancestor and they used the Outlaw name because they were "Outlaw Stuarts" when they came to the U.S.- or, out of favor with the King, so his kin up and down the Bosque River dropped the Stuart and took the name Outlaw. Take care, sleep tight, and don't let the Begbugs Bite. Charles Augustine Wyly O.S. If you do not get this on Txerath or Southern Trails, please forward it to someone so it will be there.
