Sandra, I don't know anything about Howard Waldrop, but I am looking for a gggrandmother who married Michael Waldrip and was Indian. Her name was Rebecca Brown, and she was in Tishimingo Co., Miss. Where did you find the Dawes List? I thought it was only for people whose families went to Oklahoma, or did your grandmother go. My husband's Moore and Folsom family are listed on the 1831 Mississippi Choctaw list. Were they on that one also?
