Yes; help. My gggmo Missouri Ann Blackwell McClure was the dau of Wm. McClure and Sarah Goza; a lady from Ms.? sent me Goza line to the 3 childre.-don't have it in front of me so I'm making no sense; Givson name in line. See McClure/Blackwell/Riddle(Missouri's husband)and Goza(Gosa)in S.C. Want more info to connect to. I found W. and his bro James McClure in the 1831 Choctaw Indian census. Wm.'s listed as White man with Indian wife-don't know where the Indian comes in. frances fmcw@ktc.com

Geri please first give me your email address; I'm not on ancestry.com; I am sucking up all the generosity they are giving out this Christmas for the freebie special; I'm homebound due to bad back injury which is why I'm doing this more but a little at a time. my email is fmcw@ktc.com This is so exciting; a lady from the Goza/McClure line sent me info and said she was prob. dau of Martin Goza. I saw where there were Gosa'a in 1830's in Noxubee Co.; that was one of the counties included in the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit, including part of Ala. I noticed that the name was spelled Gosey in a census-don't you think that was colooquial accent-"the Gosey's live there"-boy I bet they loved that! Was it you who said the name is Spanish-means "joyous"; I think it is Spanish due to the interchanging of "z" and "s"in the names. Yhis is so exciting ;it seems that what Daddy said-"the Goza's are Spanish"-it came back because I'd never heard the name-my fa was mentally ill and in the VA for years and I rarely saw him; my parents marr. very short and my mo remained faithful "forever".It was tense and we'd taken him out to eat when I was 14(I'm 54) but I'd remembered later in life that evening and he'd talked about the Indian blood in the family. He'd mentioned 2 tribes and they both began with "ch"-put that in my mind because I remember knowing I'd forget; when my mo got him off the subject it was over. He was a brilliant man, an atty. in Waco(an honest atty.)and in mid life had a complete breakdown; I never knew him sane but have wanted to know my ancestors on both sides since I was "knee high to a duck". My mo said that whatever my fa said abt. the family(not much in that short of a marr.) always came true. Wm. McClure is listed as a White man with an Indian wife(there are McClure's who are mixed Cherokee in another census-Ga.-with names Wm. and John so they may be part Indian also); the Choctaw may come from the Goza's or the Gibson's; Tangela's ggmo was Choctaw and she was a Gibson. The book compiled by Betty Wiltshire Cox "Choctaw and Chickasaw Early Census Records" has the names of the 1831 Choctaw census when the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit gave the Slave-holding Plantation Indians the right to stay on their land if they gave up their Indian citizenship. James McClure is in that same census and by looking at the census and the fact that Wm. died in 1846 I figured he'd had have older children that were no longer in the 1850 census-and sure enough! I have written for a lookup at SLC LDS Library on names; address is Correspondence c/o Family History library / 35 N.W. Temple St. / Salt Lake City Utah 84150, book no. 790.1 cutter # W712 Pioneer Publishing Co. attn. Dawne Hole(a request form from your local LDS will get it on microfilm-same address to request that, attn.: Sue Wiggington; your library may have it; also called the Armstrong Rolls and available for viewing on microfilm at the Nat'l Archives. The book had "walked off" from library and I didn't know how to find it-just 1831 Choctaw census-we can thank Dawne for finding it.The microfilm may also be available through the local library lending process-AGLL. This is why so many people can't find their Indians, I think, it's always the Dawes Rolls; this group was off the rolls by that time. McClure/Blackwell/Goza/ etc. in South Carolin and I think same co.-not sure of that-don't quote me. But James and William McClure always together in every census and so that is them; I can't place my gggfa Green Joseph Riddle and working on that now-a man from Ala. thinks we're related-there's Indian blood a few people have told me that also-that Cherokee and Choctaw were in their Riddle line and they think we connect. That's another story. frances fmcw@ktc.com

Geri the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit is online but there are the names of the chiefs and 5 families included in treaty but this census apparently has a lot of names, both White and Indian names but all Indians or married to Indians. They're transcribing it online but they hadn't gotten to McClure's yet and it doesn't include the number in family. Are you in Texas? I am-born raised and most all of family-most for some generations but last I see of Green Joseph Riddle is in Randolph Co. Ala.1875; there's a Joseph Riddle in the 1831 census but I don't know if/how he's related to Green.
