Re: Chickasaw Census

corbinj145 — 2009-11-05 01:07:13Z

can anyone help me research the "Lower Chickasaws" in South Carolina. Squirrel King and about 200 Mississippi Chickasaws settled in South Carolina around 1723 to protect the trade route to the homeland. Some Chickasaws stayed in South Carolina after removal. The area around Indiantown, SC, has numerous historical references to Chickasaws, such as Black Mingo and Mingo Township. General Francis Marion (Swamp Fox)rode a Chickasaw horse during the Revolutionary War.

Any information would be appreciated.

I found her!!

Della Green

tahirihlang — 2009-10-23 17:55:36Z

Looking for the mother of my GGrandfather whose name is listed on his birth certificate as Della Green.(Possibly spelt Dela Green)

She was chickasaw/choctaw Indian. My GGrandfather says he was born in Texas but raised on the "reservation" in Oklahoma. There is a Turnbull (buried in Ardmore OK) in the family I believe it is Dellas brother.

He had a half brother and half sister but I dont know if they are older or younger.

My great Grandfathers name is William S Henslee also went by Sam Hensley born approx 1871.

Thanks for any help as I have hit a brick wall

Sarah Malissa Minnick is my gr grandmother. Her daughter Myrtle married Richard Elliott - my grandparents. Going to Tulsa, OK in a week and hoping to find some info. Sarah died in Soper, OK in the early 50's I believe. Sarah's other daughter Frankie Mahoney lived in Soper also. If you have found any other info, please let me know.

Sorry, but I do not have anything for Illinois. All the materials I have pertain to the old Choctaw/Chickasaw lands in Alabama and Mississippi,l and the Final Dawes Roll of Indian Territory ( Ok.)

Re: Chickasaw Census

Bryghtstar — 2009-07-06 05:03:20Z

Yes, I looked for both variations. I see you have not been doing genealogy long. The Johnson name is such a long shot, in Illinois alone, not to mention the variation of Johnston. Just for 1850, there are 4,921 Johnsons listed, 0 Tom Johnson, 92 Thomas Johnsons,and 295 William Johnsons. O Heldrick/Heldrich. What info do you have of the marriage? With no county or city, in Illinois, it would be very hard to find. I started with the 1850 census, because that is the first year wives names were mentioned unless, they were widowed. Sense i did not find a Hendrick/Hendrich family listed, in the 1800 to the 1850, in Illinois, it makes it much more harder to narrow down a county, or city. I hope this explains it a little better. If you have any other info i will look further. Good luck. Vidia

Re: Chickasaw Census

cjdimaster — 2009-07-06 01:08:38Z

You were looking for Heldrich? or Heldrick?

Heldrick is the name associated with my family. hmmm

I appreciate your looking for me.

Re: Chickasaw Census

Bryghtstar — 2009-07-06 00:21:30Z

In looking at the Heldrich name, in the Native American, I could not find a connection. The Johnson name is very common. I did a quick look at the 1800 to 1840 USA Federal Census, the surname Heldrich is not in the USA, that I could find. It maybe spelled differently. I looked in the 1850 census and found 3 family,s listed with the heldrich surname. None were listed in Illinois. There were 3 family,s listed in 1850, with a total of 12 people, one family listed in Virginia, one in Maryland, and one in NY. All turned out to be fron Germany, or France in looking at there history. I could not find a record with the Heldrich connected to the Johnson. if you have a county or town in Illinois, and a date, this might help to lower the search of the Johnson name. Sorry I could not help. Good luck. Vidia

Re: Chickasaw Census

cjdimaster — 2009-07-05 22:59:31Z

Married Tom Johnson. Son William Johnson. Illinois is the only information I have.

Re: Chickasaw Census

Bryghtstar — 2009-07-05 22:55:24Z

Who did she marry? It helps to have as much info as you can. when did they marry? where are they buried? Any info you have, will get better results. Vidia

Re: Chickasaw Census

cjdimaster — 2009-07-05 22:24:25Z

All I have is A Heldrick. So I was wondering if there were any family of that name. It was a woman who married into my family in the 1800's.

Re: Chickasaw Census

Bryghtstar — 2009-07-05 22:16:30Z

Hi Curtis, It would be helpful if you could post the names you are researching. Good luck. Vidia

Re: Chickasaw Census

cjdimaster — 2009-07-05 18:10:15Z

Bonnie,

I am looking for either a Chickasaw or Choctaw family from Illinois area in the mid 1800's with the name of Heldrick.

Is there any mention in the census of that name?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Re: Colbert

CPecpec — 2009-03-01 18:47:47Z

Gina,
Thank you so much for your help. I do have a copy of the Dawes packet and yes they were cancelled. But what I am having trouble with is was Abigail the daughter of Cheif William Colbert or was she fromanother Colbert line. I have been to the Nation's website and have looked at the outline on the Colbert family and do not find Abigail at all, but the lady from the NAtion that did the outline only sarted from the Oklahoma side and Abigail is from the Alabama side before the move to OK.
Cheryl

Re: Colbert

CPecpec — 2009-02-25 19:27:46Z

Re: Colbert

Bryghtstar — 2009-02-25 18:29:25Z

Hi, this is some info on your William S. Stinnett.
William S. Stinnett b.abt. 1766 in Amherst, Va. died 23 Feb. 1838, married Abigail Colbert in 1816, in Va. Don,t know if you have this. Good luck, Vidia

Re: Chickasaw Roll

Bryghtstar — 2009-02-25 20:02:29Z

Hi Diane, I am not sure if this will help you, but I found 2 Cordelia Moore, listed on the Dawes Rolls. I could not find her as Redmond, there were a few Redmond listed, but it did not sound like any of your names. There are no Dozier listed. There are tons of Moore surnames, as the Moore is a very common surname. This is not much, but it is all I found, except what you already have on the other post. Good luck, Vidia

Hi Jody, I thought I would look on rootsweb to see if anyone might have any family tree work done, and found one that had some info on Cynthia Elizabeth Mcgowan, showing her parents as James Mcgowan and Margaret Tilford, and their parents also. Thought you might want to check it out. It has some good info to follow up on.
Good hunting. Vidia

Re: Colbert

Bryghtstar — 2009-03-02 02:29:29Z

I do believe that Abigail was Cheif Colbert,s daughter. I have not looked at all the apps of the Stinnett,s family line, nor the many on the Colbert line. Many of them were excepted. I believe I read that Abigail was not mentioned on Cheif William,s app, but that several other children were also not on his app. I do believe you are on the right trail. If I find anything I will send it your way. I had a Stinnett from marriage of the Clemon Stinnett side, not a blood relative. On the notes I had, this was what I had down. In other family on the Abigail side, most think she was from the Cheif Colberts line. Maybe someone working on His line will post something to the forum.
Good luck.

Hi, John or Johnas as he was known to many, including my GGgrandmother, was a Chickasaw Freedman, and a medicine man.
This is some info on him. He was a beautiful man, and married 3 times, and had many children. Both his first and second wife were full blood Chickasaw. This is also stated by Epsie,s father, on his Dawes record. He had been a slave. This is some info on him that might help you. He was also said to be 115 years old when he died. I don,t know if that is true. My ggrandmother attended his funeral.He was known by many people. Good luck.

Re: Colbert

Bryghtstar — 2009-03-01 06:19:28Z

Also in 1818 Chickasaw Cwnsus list Jameson Colbert, His first name was William. He was the son of William Colbert and Jessie Moniac. Many of the Colbert line are from these desendents, on the Chickasaw line.
Good luck

Re: Colbert

Bryghtstar — 2009-03-01 06:13:07Z

You might want to look at the Dawes index roll for Clemon Stinnett. He was a gr or ggrandchild of Abigail Colbert and William Stinnett. I do believe they were canceled, but it has a lot of genealogy on the app.
