Affairs, he served as Principle at the Colorado Day School and as a Guidance
Counselor on both Hopi and Pima Reservations. He worked as an Education
Specialist at Indian Boarding Schools in Riverside, CA & Tahlequah, OK. He
was the Deputy Director at the Area office in Anadarko and Self
Determination Officer in Muskogee, OK. He retired from the Bureau of Indian
Affairs Senior Executive Service as Deputy Director of Indian Education in

I was told Jane was white and very much disliked. I know she did not raise her daughter, who was my grandmother, Minnie Jane McCurtain (born 1885). Jane may have been dead or possibly in prison? Minnie was raised by her father, Joshua, and his sister, Rebecca Elizabeth (aka Peggy Witt / Darden) Thank you,

I am needing information concerning William Stanton b. 1847 in
Indian Territory ( (OK) Died 1887 in North McAlester OK.
He is on the 1885 Choctaw Census as 1/16 Choctaw Indian.
He is listed as
William Stanton--wife Martha Stanton--children William Henry,
Mary Lula, Susie, Arthur, & Katy. (Martha Estep Stanton
was his 2nd wife) The first two children belong to William & his first
wife Liza Ann Kirk.
I am searching for any information concerning this family.
I know that Martha Estep was married to a George Brashears before she married
William Stanton. I also know that the Breashears & the Stantons were
closely related probably by marriage. A man named Alan Stanton
(white man with an Indian Wife ) was living beside the
Tombigbee River in Alabama at the time of the 1830 Treaty of the Dancing
Rabbit. His
close neighbors who were enumerated with him were, Turner Brashears,
Delilah Brashears etc. I think that Allen Stanton was married to a
Brashears woman. Does anyone know anything about this family?
If so,
please write to Marty63@juno.com
or martha gujda.
Please help if you can:

I am looking for family relatives. My Great-Grandfather Leo Merryman, born
in Kully Chaha (Kulli Cha ha), Sugar Loaf Co., Moshulatubbee Dist., Choctaw
Nation, Ind.Ter., (near present Poteau, LeFlore Co., Oklahoma) and later married
Oda N. Reynolds. I have put numerous postings on the Internet in my search
for some long lost elder whom may know a bit of family tree information about
relatives to my great-grandfather or descendants of his siblings or those of his
aunts and uncles with not much success with contacts. But, thought I'd try
again here!
My Great-Grandfather (Leo) was born in 1891 and his
father before him was David C. Merryman born also in the Choctaw Nation in 1853;
while his grandmother Anny Scott-Merryman (and David's mother) was born in
Mississippi before the 'Trail of Tears' removal to the new Choctaw Nation there
in what of course became Oklahoma (aka land of the "red people").
Other spellings in past generations on Merryman - Merriman. Hopefully, this will help others
to doing family tree research - also seeking
family connections - Thank you

First Story - Brashears
What a great idea to be able to help search for family on this
site!
We were at the gathering in Bakersfield over the weekend and had
a good time.
We're looking for information about Alfred (Alford)
Brashears. He is my gr. grandfather:
BRASHEARS, Albert - Choctaw, married Martha A. Grissom (born
1860),
a white, at Savanna. He died at his home six miles from Savanna
He was a brother to George Brahsears, born in 1865 and a resident of Hartshorne.
Application for enrollment, Choctaw Nation, Case 5862.
Information about my grandfather: Ira Beshears b. Jan 27, 1896 in
Sandridge, OK Ira is listed as Indian in the W.P.A census for Coal County.
Family history say that Albert was Ira's father. We are having trouble proving
when Albert died and exactly when Ira was born. There seems to be a discrepancy
in the records. Would also like any information about Albert's parents or
siblings. George Brashears testified at hearing for Martha Grissom to get Indian
rights (brother) L.E. Brashears signed the wedding certificate when Martha
&
Albert were married. (relationship not mentioned) Martha's case number was 1234.
Would like to hear from anyone with any information or ideas. Thank you, Larry

Second Story & First - Jones Family
My name is William
Jones, am 19 and I am of Choctaw decedent. My father Roger
"Tony" Jones is Half Choctaw and half Creek. His father is Wilson
Jones, he
was full blooded Choctaw. They moved to California back in the early 1950s.
Well, he passed away back in May and my father and I didn't know much about
our Choctaw side. So I started to look on the Internet about my family and I
have found a lot! I am able to go back to my gggg grandfather Solomon Jones
with the help of some cousins I found back in Oklahoma. I am having trouble
on finding information on my gg grandparents Simon and Phoebe Jones, so I was
wondering if anyone could help me out with on finding any information on
them. They didn't have a roll number so its hard to find any information on
them. They died prior to 1890, so their son Peter Jones went to live with his
grandparents who were Edmond Jones and his wife which her name is unknown.
Peter has a roll number because at time of enrollment he was living with his
grandparents. I would also like it if anyone who knows my family could let me
know and get a hold of me. We have lived in San Bernardino, CA since they moved here to CA back in the early 1950s. Also I would like to know if there
are any Indian churches in Southern California? All help is greatly
appreciated. I hope to hear from someone soon!
Thank you so much, William Jones (Choctaw/Creek)
Next - Jones Family
Jacob Jones
Jacob or Jake as he was called was born in 1850 in Red River County, Indian Territory. His parents were Silas and Bessie Jones. He had two sisters, Patsy and Kizziah, (she was also called Kizzie) Hampton, Heflin, Wilmoth. He has a brother Adam. There isn't anything else about his childhood or family. Jacob met Ellen, whose mother was Louisa Anderson and father was unknown, around 1877. He was on the Chickasaw 1878 annuity rolls with a wife and one child.. His oldest child was Osborne Jones, roll # 13995, he married Virginia Goode in 1900. The cause of death was unknown on 2-19-1915. Jacob called him "Osman" On 11-28-1880, a second boy, William 9commonly called Billy was born. He later married Ruth Everett, a white lady. She petitioned long and hard to become a Choctaw citizen and succeeded. They were killed together in a buggy accident while crossing Muddy Boggy 9-21-1901. Jacob's first daughter, Luella, born in 1889 was nicknamed Minnie. She married George Hunter in 1889. Another son, John Jones was born, he was run over by a buggy and died from a leg wound and lock jaw. Their last daughter, Pearl ones was born 8-16-1891 and she married Rosco Gardner. Pearl died 7-27-1916. Jacob was 6 foot tall, slim, healthy and strong with black hair and brown eyes. He could speak both Choctaw and English but could not read or write. He was 3/4 Choctaw. He was a farmer and raised bees for honey, cows, hogs, horses and mules. He was a hard worker and honest man. Jacob was know for being open, liked to talk and socialize and had a lot of friends. I was privileged to met Abe Winter, who at 7 years old, would go and have dinner at Jacob's ranch. He said kids loved going to Jacob's place and he would always ring a bell at lunchtime. Jacob' house a big frame with 7+ rooms, the big barn and corral were not far apart. It was located near Atoka. Abe' dad worked for Jacob. They would cut and bale meadow grass to feed the stock. Jacob had branded all his stock JJ. Jacob became a Lighthorseman in Pigeon Roast which earned his a spot in the 1905 picture of the last Choctaw Tribal Council at National Capitol Tuskahoma, Indian Territory. I wish, I knew some stories about his adventures as a Lighthorseman.
My Grandma, Virginia Goode Jones, Osborne's wife, told how Jacob always said "By Gosh". Jacob always rode a big horse when he came to visit them. They had two twin girls and Jacob brought them 2 little red rockers. After Ellen, Jacob's wife, died, he married Francis Johnson and had one son, Paul C. Jones. Jacob died on 9-5-1917 in Bennington, Ok. He was buried at the old Church Cemetery with a big tall marble headstone. After all of my research and talking to people that knew him, I have concluded that Jacob Jones lived a full and prosperous life with many friends. He was a honest hard working ma who had succeeded in life. I could hear Jacob say "I become a Lighthorseman because the land needed taming and I knew I could do it." If anyone know any more stories about him or his family, Please let me know.

William Pleasant Johnson I am trying to collect information for a number of ancestors, and am needing help in tying them together. William Pleasant (aka "Sam") Johnson ca. 1835-1900 born in Virginia, Civil War Veteran. Supposedly married Choctaw or Chickasaw woman in Alabama or Mississippi right after the Civil War. Moved to Arkansas or Indian Territory in 1870's or 1800's. There is a William Johnson (#224) listed as "Intruder in Choctaw Nation, Moshalatubbee District, Skullyville, Green Mill Post Office, 1882."I have his wife's name as "Flora Earls". William Lonis Johnson 1867-1939 (my great-grandfather) Son of William P. Johnson. Born in Parrish, Alabama and died in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. My grandfather told me that as a child during the early 1900's (before 1910) the whole family would spend the summer traveling through Indian Territory from Ft. Smith, Skullyville, Poteau, and Durant, all the way to Paris, Texas, visiting family all along the way adn back. Our family records show his wife's name was Henrietta Rush (died 1929), from Alabama, but his death certificate has the widow's name as "Effie", so he must have re-married. I have found a William Johnson, white, age 44, as a Choctaw Citizen by Marriage, Roll #630, Census Card #761 but am not sure as how to determine who this man is. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. David Vanderpool 1310 W. 4th St. Coffeyville, KS 67337 no email
