Where were James and Mattie from originally? I'm looking for a Mattie (Price) Suddeth who moved to Tulsa with her Suddeth husband. Not sure of his first name. It is said that they lived for a time on a Native American reservation. My relative was African American and was from Daviston, Alabama (Tallapoosa County)

Waiting for your response. Thank you

Hello Lynn,

I am the grandaughter of James Issac Hulstine. My father was Tom O. Hulstine. If your maiden name is Guillory you must be a grandaughter of Elner Hulstine and Archie Guillory. Your father and Uncle have to be Buzz or Larry. Anyway, I have alot of genealogy and will gladly share. Sorry to say, I do not think we are Jewish. The Hulstine's appear to be German but have not traced it to Germany yet. Please email me privately. gjgray@ocsnet.net Your Dad and Uncle should know who I am. Gloria Hulstine Gray

Re: Hulstine/Self Family

nienhuisklke — 2009-09-26 01:01:52Z

I'm the great granddaughter of JAMES ISIAH HULSTINE and DULSA MAE BACHUS. My grandma was their daughter. I remember my grany she always smelled of roses. I also know how James died.

When you say your dad talked of grandpa george you mean George Hulstine right? Who was your father? I would like to talk more about this part of my family with you. My uncle told me that his grandpa, James Hulstine, told him they were Jewish. I'd love to get all the facts and if you have any old family pictures I would go ga ga over them.

Thank you Lynn Guillory, Hulstine

That is great information. I do not know much about the Creek nation. How in the world did she get the name Devereaux? Was she 1/2 Creek?

Please send what you have. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this tree.

Re: little berry johns

dianaroush — 2009-09-21 12:44:04Z

I am sorry, but yes she was one in the same and she was indeed a Creek Indian --- She was from a tribe that a battle was fought not far down the road close to Kville.

If I can gather any other information i will be more than happy to get it to you as well. I do think that Thomas Lightsey has some pictures -- I will go and see him and see if I can scan them for us both. - Diana

Re: little berry johns

dagreyjr — 2009-09-21 02:06:14Z

Malachi's father was Littleberry Johns, b. ~1797 in SC, d. ~1855 in Liberty Co., GA. Littleberry's father was Littleberry Johns, b. ~1775. I do not have any parents for Livecy.

I don't think that you answered my question. Do you think that this Livecy (Johns) was Leviticus Devereaux? The reason I ask is that my family were Devereauxs from Liberty Co., GA.

Do you think Livecy (Johns ) was a Creek indian?

Re: little berry johns

dianaroush — 2009-09-20 19:29:11Z

You are right --- that is a little out there for making babies... You you by any chance know who either of their parents were... they are as far back as I can go. We are in Appling County GA and there are still many of the Johns right here.

They would have been Great Great Great Grandparents - Has Malachi - then Ward Finally Emma Johns (Lightsey) in order. Thanks you so much for your information. - Diana

Re: little berry johns

dagreyjr — 2009-09-18 21:46:37Z

Delilah Lily was my 2nd great grandmother. My mistake.

Re: little berry johns

dagreyjr — 2009-09-18 21:45:02Z

Yes. Offsprings were: Zachariah b~1816, John H. b.~1817, Malachi b.1822, Delilah Lily b. Sep1824(my great grandmother), another unnamed son b.~1827. All in Colleton Co. SC. The following were born in Liberty Co., GA: Ann Harris b.1833, Littleberry b. 1844, George F. b.Dec1849, and Mary M. b.~1852

Levicy was born in 1783. At the birth of Mary(1852) she would have been ~69, for George ~66, Littleberry ~61 and Ann Harris ~50. I am not a doctor, but those last ages seem old to be cranking out babies.

Re: little berry johns

Is there a Leviticus Devereaux that married a Littleberry Johns?

I have two Littleberry Johns but neither is married to a Leviticus. One is married to a Levica. Is this your Leviticus?

Petition 20183102 Details
Location: Mobile, Alabama
Salutation: To the Honorable Abner S. Lipscomb Chief Justice of the State of Alabama & Judge of the first Judicial Circuit Sitting in Chancery (LIPSCOMB, Abner S.)
Filing Court and Date: Circuit, 1831-March-17
Ending Court and Date: No Ending Court Specified

General Petition Information

Abstract: Latchlin Durant seeks to regain possession of slaves given by his grandfather McGilveray to his mother. Durant says that the slaves were "forcibly taken" and, in 1803, delivered to David Tait [Tate] of Baldwin County, who held them in trust for Alexander McGilveray, a minor who died in England without any issue. Durant states that all the named parties "were residing in the Indian Nation & under Indian Laws at the time of the transactions" and that "all the parties except McGilveray your Orator's grandfather were of Indian blood & descent by the father or mother or both." Durant declares that as the only surviving son of his mother and the oldest surviving male descendant of his grandfather, "by the laws of the Creek tribe of Indians ... he is the sole heir of said McGilveray." Now Tait has died, and Durant asks the court to order his heirs and executors to account for the slaves, which he estimates to be more than one hundred; to compensate him for their services; and to return them to his possession.

Some time in 1825 in Old Creek Nation Ga. amoung other people the Berryhill's and the Derrisaw's (spelled many ways) come to the O.I.T after selling their land and just before the major start of the trail of tears. Rootsweb has some of the letters written about the journey west. These are my decendents. I'm real interested in contacting the Derrisaw's that may be in Oklahoma today and any Bittle's that are related.
Thanks

Do you recognize the name Rufus Harvison? Thanks for any response. Also, I thought your name was also quite a coincidence.

I think I also heard my dad mention Severs also. He also had a cousin (I believe) named Albert. I will have to look up my papers and see dates or other names.

It would be helpful to other researchers if you could indicate which Eastman Richard you are looking for as there was more than one.
Also, if you could include any information you have from your own personal research. That way people know what you already have and what you don't.

Thank you.

Polly (Shadley) Fitzgerald

fwp735 — 2009-05-29 14:55:50Z

I am searching for background on Polly Shadley, who emigrated in 1837 from Alabama with husband Alexander Fitzgerald and daughters Amanda and Sarah Ann. Polly was born around 1805, Creek by blood, and submitted a bounty claim for land under her maiden name of Shadley after the death of Alex Fitzgerald, who served as a bugler under Captain McIntosh. Polly's daughter Sarah later married William Wesley Clark, probably in Arkansas, and had a daughter Mary Clark, who is my great grandmother. Emigrating with the Fitzgeralds was Amanda Callahan and her son Samuel B. Callahan, who later became very prominent in the Creek Nation in Muskogee.

Re: Bunnie Manawa

dcdc34 — 2009-06-21 01:02:51Z

I'm afraid I don't know much beyond that Bunnie Manawa was born before 1870 in possibly the Okfusky, Canadian, Indian territory and died before 1901. He was married to Leah McGilbera (sp?) and she was from Hickory Ground, Indian Territory. They had 3 children, Bunnie, Lydia and George Bennett. Most of my information is through George Bennett Manawa.

You and I are related. I believe your mother to be Rubye Manawa Smith and my husbands grandfather was June, her brother. Can you please contact me at speakermom@hotmail.com to exchange what information I do have.
