Hi Donald
I just saw your name, at thanks giving this year I was talking to some freidns and agreed to look up the name higginbothum for them as word was they were blackfoot. which is really saponi/souix. so are you a higginbothum from Texas and MO before that?
Oh no trouble on you not knowing my folks. I just wanted to know if oldsettlers were indeed in yell CO. because some of Shoeboots are on a old settlers rolls. and I don't know if that is just AR or AR and texas or what. but old settlers were in yell CO. I belive my Shoeboots was a chickamauga and born in KY. but I can't prove much yet! just got family stories so far.
so that is great that there were cherokee in yell CO. that might help me make more family connections.
also I think the Dameron mentioned are really Cameron. but they changed it after the war, at least for awhile. starr seems to know about them but doesn't list them in his genealogy pages. oh well ! thanks for the help though. oh other places that my family were in AR was Lafeyette CO and
Lonaoke (sp?) and jackson CO. I know jackson had lots of natives that moved through it, don't know if amany actually stayed there but lots of folks moved through there. MY family did moved to yell CO first I figured there almost had to be some connections or relations there.
thanks again
