I am in the process of creating a family tree, it is believed that my mother's family was from Allen Parish. The Blueeye's were Choctaw Indians. My grandmother's name was Lonie Blueeye. My grandmother died when my mother was very young, she was raised by a lady in Glenmora. The Blueeye's lived in Allen Parish in the late 1800's early 1900's.

Tony, I don't know if we have e-mailed before. I have e-mailed with Renea Autin in 1999. I changed servers, and can't get in touch with her. So, I am glad to have found you.

I don't have much on the Blueye family, but I know probably as much as can be found out in this present day and time. I am interested in any further information you find on this family.

E-mail me at: peggy@CFaith.com

I too have been looking for information on Blue Eyes (Blueye, Blueeye, etc). My ggg-grandfather was Isaac J. Blue Eye, his son was Amos Blue Eye, he went to Oklahoma & enrolled himself & two of his 3 children (that i have verified) as Missippi Choctaw...his wife Celeste / Celestine didn't survive the trip. My great-grandma Ida Blue Eye was only 3 and her brother Adolphe was about 7. Other than a few small pieces of incomplete information I have been able to find next to nothing out about them. What happened to them, who they were descended from, etc. Talk about Elusive !

Anyone who has informatino on any of the Mississippi Choctaw / Choctaw Blue Eyes, any spelling please fill me in. I will happily share what little I have been able to verify. I have a bucketful of hunches and leads I'm trying to follow up on but not much is panning out. Unfortunately most of that branch of the family tree died young or disappeared entirely so there's no one left around who has any concrete information.

There a handful of Blue Eye's who are on the 1880 & 1900 Census from the same areas as Isaac's descendants but I have been unable to verify if they are related, or any additional source information for them.

My thanks in advance.

Oh, one last tidbit...Amos's mother was not Liney but a woman named Easter or Esther that it sounds like Isaac married after Liney (Liney was considerably older than Isaac). Her Choctaw name was Fil-e-ta-ho-na and Isaac's was Mon-tubbi. Easter had previously been married to a man named Baptiste, no English 1st name but Choctaw name is Hai-yak-et-ubbi. They had at least 1 child while married, Joseph Baptiste (MCR5132)...Amos's 1/2 brother. (MCR5133).

still looking... :)

My mother-in-law said that Ida Blueye lived in Broken Bow, OK. My grandmother was raised by a Blueye but have to find the first name. It has slipped my memory. I believe this woman was the daughter of Ida.
