Our Great
Grandmother Anna Stone, married three times. Two of her
children Carrie and Cecil Earl were called "half" siblings by the
other children, but they were all born while Anna was with
Fenn....go figure. Anna was the daughter of Augustus Marvin
Stone and he was the son of Benjamin Wilburne Stone. Ben
was the son of Michael D. Stone of 1700s Maryland who married Polly
Wells in Putnam Georgia. Michael's parents are unknown at this
point but it would be fun to find he was related to the Mr. Stone
who signed the Declaration....
Anna's mother was
Mary Ann Hendrick, the daughter of Christopher Columbus Hendrick,
who was only in Alabama for a short while. before moving on to Texas
while the new land was for sale really cheap.
The Stones however
returned to Macon Georgia.
Anna's first
husband, William Franklin Fenn's ancestors came from Early and
Decatur Georgia. Anna later married Mr. Carter and then a Mr.
Dasher, both need further research.
Her son by Fenn
was called Cecil Earl Fenn Carter, so she must have remarried while
he was still a very young child.
Had six
children with William Franklin Fenn during her seven years of
marriage. She left him in Barbour County Alabama with the children,
taking only the baby and moved to join her family of Stone in Macon
City, Bibb, Georgia. There she remarried and gave the baby the name
of Carter. Little baby Carter told his family that his grandfather
was a full blood Cherokee Chief. Of course young Carter was a tall
handsome dark man like his siblings, but he did drink too much, so
the chief part may or may not have been fantasy. The Fenn boys were
tall, over 6' and very dark.
The Carters, Stones, Fenns were
all in 1700s Georgia in Creek Indian Lands. Elijah Fenn was the son
of Travis and "Mary" and the grandson of Zachariah Fann - Elijah
married Martha Rich, daughter of Stephen and "Abiah" Rich. Elijah's
son John married Emeline Harrell and Elijah's daughter Letitia
married Thomas Rich.
Emeline named a son William Franklin
Fenn in 1855. His wife Anna was called Annie. Annie's parents were
Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone. Parents of Augustus
were Sarah Davies and Benjamin Wilburn Stone. Ben was the son of
Mary Polly Wells and Michael Stone who lived in Captain John Stones
District of Putnam County Georgia. Parents of Mary Ann were Mary Ann
Winters and C C Hendrick. Winters' parents were Amelia Lyle and
Albert Winters, who married in 1816 Jackson County Georgia which was
then Cherokee Nation East. During this era it was quite common to
marry a native american and give them a Christian name.
Anna Lou's baby was named Cecil Earl and he
is only found in Texas census records for 1920 and 1930 during his
military service first at San Antonio and then at Fort Bliss in El
Paso. On the 1900 census Anna's son Robert is not listed so she may
have been pregnant at the time and she may have also raised him but
I have been unable to locate her on a census after she married or
lived with Mr. Carter - she was very young and may have had more
children with Carter. There are some possibilites with the census
records but the woman is listed as black and widowed - then there is
one Arnie Carter which could be Annie in Macon GA and she is alone,
a laundress. Even so, in 1910 and 1920 there is no Robert listed as
her son and the family knew him personally and he did exist and I
found his tombstone by his brother Frank Jr. Then her son Arthur is
not found after 1910 even though
family
says he married, had children, and died in his 20s. Cecil
married Alice Emma McClain, sometimes referred to a Emily Alice or
Ellie; she was the daughter of Lorena Emma Bozeman and Charles
Allen McClain.

Our great
grandfather Charlie McClain's father came out of Georgia during the
Civil War leaving behind a wife and children, who eventually filed
divorce. The McClains originally were from Virginia, migrating
into South Carolina, with the marriage of a Charles McClain to
Elizabeth Moon around 1760 and she gave him several sons who
migrated into Georgia long before the Trail of
Tears.

Cobb County GA
connects to Josiah McClain of South Carolina
who's father was Charles McClain who might have been in the American
Revolution; Charles had married Elizabeth MOON in Virginia around
1780 and then migrated into the Carolinas where their children were
born.
Josiah was born in 1788 SC and found on census in
Georgia. The name on his headstone is JOSAH
Josiah had James
in 1810, John Milton, William Smith, etc. Josiah also had Charles
Pinkney McLain in 1818 SC
They all had many
children.
James named his son Josiah Marion McClain born 1838

Thanks for visiting I am
researching many of my grandparents. Hans Brooks of Holland and his
son John Brooks born 1837 in Pennsylvania. John Baptist Bond,
Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith, grandson of John Smith, Annie Clark
Ballard, granddaughter of Larkin Francis Ballard, Rowena Densy
Baxter, Peter Bozeman of the American Revolution, his son William
Henry to Peter Edward, Elisha Anderson to Seaborn Montgomery
Anderson, Lavinia Brack, Hester Doty, William Sellers, Charles
McClain and Josiah, Gideon Moon, Elijah Lee, Andrew Cooper, Frank
Cochran, Isaac Coonfield, Captain George Little of Scotland,
Christopher Coonfield of Holland, Alexander Cochran of Scotland,

Fann of England, Zachariah Fenn, Anna Lou Stone, Frank Fenn,
Augustus Marvin Stone, Mary Angeline Partridge and George Thornton,
Milton Elijah Thornton, Bessie Mae Hood and Ella Olivia Baxley, and
many more.
Most believe the Boseman
or Bozeman families came from Holland and this we may never know.
Edword Bozeman was found in the 1790 census of Baltimore, Maryland;
John in Talbot, MD; Lawrence Bouseman in Baltimore. Some served in
the American Revolution and received a pension along with grants of
land, for instance, the South Carolina Archives lists some as
Gabriel, John, Paul, Jesse, Ralph, James, Mordecai and probably more
with different spellings of our last name. Of course it would be
nice to learn more about Mordecai even his middle name and if he was
the son of Samuel Edward Bozeman and Mary White, after all, her
brother was named Mordecai and the name Edward has continued over
many centuries.
So many names were Biblical yet then we find
another set of Bozemans named Ralph, Fred, George, and Lewis. Names
were so very special, most often, after another dearly loved family
member.
These families were farmers and many had well
educated, successful careers, mostly throughout the South, as they
explored each new territory as it became available.
Reverend
Bozeman did a marvelous job writing his "Sketches of the Bozeman
Family" in 1885 and a couple of pages were scanned to share
indicating the whereabouts of Mordecai. He does not say anything
about Mordecai being a fatality of the Revolution so we can only
assume that he died later from natural causes, and hopefully that
information will come to light soon.
The 1810 census of
Darlington SC shows only four Bosemans, John, James, Peter and
Chapman. 1800 shows a Thomas living in Somerset NC. The name Thomas
is carried on through the next century.
* From 1798 to 1819,
a steady influx of Europeans into Alabama settled on land formerly
occupied by several Native American tribes. Alabama became a part of
the Mississippi Territory in 1798 after Indian cessions in north
Alabama. Migration increased after the end of the Creek War in 1814.
In 1817, the Alabama Territory was created, and Alabama became the
22nd in December 1819. PETER BOZEMAN was in Alabama on the 1830
census.

Fact, fiction or folklore, by

Bozeman families throughout the South.
They resided among
several different tribes of native americans and have many indian

In January 2008 the DAR
has finally listed Peter Bozeman.
Mordecai Bozeman born 1735
NC, while there were only a few colonies on the coast, while it was
still Indian Nation and his son Peter born 1758 served in the
American Revolution. Documents show that both were paid 4 pounds for
their service. Nothing more is found on Mordecai but his son Peter
moved his family to Montgomery Alabama about 1826 - 1827. His son
William Henry is my connection. However, we must note that
Peter's second son was named Jesse in 1793. There was another Jesse
in the Revolutionary War who lived by Peter on the 1800 Darlington
Census so there is a strong possibility they were brothers. Or that
Mordecai went by another name, middle name, and could have been
there. Peter's first son was named Meade so that might have some
connection to his mother or his mother in law - perhaps their maiden
names.... William and Martha Hill ( daughter of John Hill of
South Carolina) had Peter Edward Bozeman who married Nancy Jane
Anderson ( daughter of Lavinia Jane Sellers, who's mother was
Lavinia Brack) and had John Thomas - John married Alice Lorena
Stephens and had Lorena Emma Bozeman - Lorena married Charles Allen
McClain, the only son of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion
McClain. Their daughter Alice Emma McClain married a dark handsome
Cherokee named Cecil Earl Fenn Carter about 1931 and had Anne Alice
Carter in 1934. Cecil's parents were Anna Stone and Wm Franklin
Fenn. Anne was orphaned at the age of 5 and lived with her McClain
Grandparents. Anne Carter married Frankie Lavern Cochran in
1951.
Frank was the son of Luella Ellen Coonfield and Frank
Delbert Cochran of Chetopa Kansas and Frank had one eighth Cherokee
blood. Luella's parents were mixed Cherokee, Lattie Cedonia Little
of Kentucky and Benjamin Wallace Coonfield of Arkansas. Frank
Delbert's parents were Clora Jane Miller of Illinois and Jacob
Benjamin Cochran of Ohio. Clora's parents were Mary Clara Parker of
New York and James Miller of Rockingham Virginia. Parents of Mary
Clara were Rosannah Lemmon and Archelaus Parker, a son of Sarah
Tefft and Archelaus Richardson Parker of Massachusetts and New York
Indian Country 1600s.
Anne Carter Cochran's daughter Kathy
married Charles Wayne Brooks of Montgomery Alabama. His parents were
Mary Ella Thornton and James Edgar Brooks. Mary Ella's parents were
Bessie Mae Hood and Milton Elijah Thornton. Parents of James were
Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. Parents of Susie were Sarah
Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper. Parents of Milton were
George Thornton and a native american named Mary Angeline Partridge
out of Georgia. Parents of James Sr were Annie Clark Ballard and
John Edwin Brooks from Maury County TN. John's parents were Roxanna
Permilia Smith of TN and John Brookes of PA and his family came from
Holland. The Ballards were from North Carolina 1700s.
Thus
all of the Brooks children descend from many surnames including the
Bozemans and Carters.

- Mordecai1 (40 KB)
Bozeman in SC Militia,
father of Peter, John, James and probably Ralph and Paul. Mordecai
could have been the son of Mary White and Samuel Bozeman of Bladen
County North Carolina and born 1735, while it was still Cherokee
Indian Territory. The researchers of his son John claim that John
was half Cherokee so the other sons would also be half blood. This
makes sense since nothing is known about his wife and his marriage
is not recorded anywhere thus far - some speculate that his wife
was called Elizabeth

The son of Mordecai
born around 1755-1758 had sons named Jesse M, Peter E, William
Henry and a daughter Lucy Campbell. They moved to Montgomery
Alabama around 1827 and Peter died around 1829. Peter had been
paid for his service in the SC Continental Line of the American
Revolution but thought he had earned something more when he moved,
perhaps the Land Grant, but was possibly rejected because of a
dead line setup by the government, but he did write about having a
certificate, one that we have not yet discovered.

Aunt
Carrie Fenn's husband has little to do with our
genealogy, yet he was an indian and moved her to
Indian Nation Oklahoma, which adds a little
confirmation to the Fenns being of indian blood, like
Carrie's brother, Cecil was our grandfather and
claimed to be Cherokee. Carrie and Cecils'
mother was Anna Stone and her Uncle Charles Stone
named his sons Osceola and
Tecumseh........so........... the plot
thickens.
From Bullock
County Alabama to Montgomery, Carrie married after
1920 to Ben Johnson of Choctaw Nation, Texas. They are
found on the 1930 census of Creek,
Oklahoma.
Her parents were Anna Stone and Wm
Frank Fenn who had married in 1893 Bullock County and
they had six children before divorcing soon after the
1900 census, where Anna joined her parents in Macon,
Bibb, Georgia. Carrie was the first born child, then
Frank Jr., Arthur, Robert, Emmett, and Cecil who
claimed to be Cherokee. They were all very tall, dark
and handsome. Family lore is that Frank Jr., told his
children that Carrie and Cecil were only his "half"
sibling.....
Ben's parents were America Emeline
Mills and Nathaniel B. Johnson of Alabama, who moved
around a lot, into Arkansas, and into Texas, where the
census indicates some children born in Indian
Territory. Some of Nathaniel's siblings may have also
been born in Indian Territory.
Nat named a
daughter Ellen after his sister.
Ellen Gray
Johnson, b July 12,1856 Springfield Alabama, d April
26,1952 Monument, Lea County New Mexico, she married
William Fletcher Weir, on Dec 16,1881, Brady , Mc
Culloch County Texas( I have original Certificate)
William Weir wa sborn Dec 19,1854 Polk Missouri, d
August 8 ,1937 Monument , lea County Texas, they lived
in Texas until early 1906 , when they went by covered
wagon with their 8 children to Lea County NM, William
purchased the famous, historical Hat Ranch.
Nat
also had a sister named Louisa
Powell.
Nathaniel's mother was Mary Ann Macon
and her ancestors had something to do with the
founding of Macon County Alabama. Ironically Carrie
Fenn's father was also born in Tuskegee, Macon County,
Alabama.
The story of Ben returning to Alabama
is unknown. It is also unknown how he met our Aunt
Carrie. They had only one child, a daughter named
Dorothy and how her name is special to them, is
another mystery to uncover.

Elijah had our John Fenn in 1829. Travis married an
unknown "Mary" who might have been native american
and then Elijah married a Martha Rich who had an
unknown mother named "Abiah". It was not uncommon
for one to marry a native american and give them a
Biblical name.

Jacob Cochran's mother was
Martha Henderson
he was born in Ohio
1822
Our families
were together in Pennsylvania and again in Ohio.
Several intermarried and we find them on census
records.
Perhaps they came from Ireland
together and that may be how they all settled into
Pennsylvania beginning their journey in the free
world. History shows that many Irish fled to Scotland,
and called themselves Scotch-Irish when they arrived
in America.
Their descendents went west into
many new territories. Some are buried in Quaker City -
nice thought to ponder. Perhaps they were the Quakers
we read about who got along so well with the Indians
in the 1700s.
There was much Indian unrest back
then and several tribes moved into Ohio and Kentucky;
many intermarried with the whites and continued
westward.
Below you will find a 1790 record on
STURGEON and if you look closely you will see an
Alexander Douglass....now that confuses this author...
- 1810 HUGH COCHRAN
WITH 16 FAMILY MEMBERS (160 KB)
LOCATED IN
MOYAMENSING, PHILADELPHIA, PA some think that Hugh
Cochran was the father of Alexander and William. In
1790 I found a Hugh in South Carolina but he is
still there in 1810. They surely did have large
families.
- 1860 Ohio -Elizabeth
Henderson, wife of John (534 KB)
lives near
Mariah Cochran and Elzira - this must be Elizabeth
Cook who married John Jr.
- 1810 Alexander
Cochran in Gettysburg Township (162 KB)
located
in Adams County, PA with 14 family members and
searching the census pages near him I find NO
familiar names other than a Thomas Cochran with 13
family members. Names of wife and children were not
added to these census records so one can only
speculate unless they locate a will in the state's
will book for more evidence of this man's legacy.

John.

Peter and
Thomas are found here. Thomas may be the father of
Sarah Sturgeon who married John Clendenning. I tried
to trace the parents of Thomas and his mother Sarah
Ferguson and believe that her father was a Thomas
Ferguson found in the area. Alexander Douglass is on
this page too!
- 1790 Alexander
Cochran in Mifflin PA (147 KB)
this shows he
has 11 children in 1790 ?? This census record only
shows head of household and not where he came from,
so we can assume he is from Scotland or from Ireland
- maybe a large family came over the sea or perhaps
the other family trees online are only made up from
speculation. In the 1800s there were dozens of
Alexanders in census records and dozens more of the
Williams so they could all possibly be related to
this one Alexander. It would be very difficult for
anyone to be certain of the connections to this one
man.
- 1800 Molley
Douglass (283 KB)
Edgefield SC -
since I ran across Alexander Douglass with the
Sturgeons, I felt like finding his wife after he
passed away. IF this is our Mary Molley, she has not
yet married George Little - Remember that her
husband went on a survey with Molley's brother John
Handley to Kentucky and was murdered on the way back
to Pennsylvania - she feared the Indians and left.

Notes (52 KB) Saving a few names
found on census in 1790 thru 1820 which may help us
later on with this family tree.
Jacob Cochran married Clora
Jane Miller about 1879 - her mother was Mary Clara
Parker. Mary's mother was Sarah Tefft and her
father was Dr. Wanton Parker.
Parker
families came from Worcestor Massachusetts, while
Miller families from Rockingham Virginia, into the
midwest.
Mary Clara Parker married James Miller
in 1850 Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois. Their
daughter Clora Jane Miller became my great
grandmother. She smoked a corn cob pipe,and one was
made of clay; she learned about making her own
medicine from her mother. Family story is that her
mother shared medicine with the Indians. Clora's
grandchildren spoke of her staying with them after
becoming widowed and had no where to live. She spent a
few months here and there with each of her children
and their families and survived nearly thirty years
longer than her husband.

Great great great great
grandpa to Charles Wayne Brooks was Elijah Lee.
Elijah was born 1777 in South Carolina and migrated to
Chambers County Alabama.
Their
descendants were in Montgomery County by 1850
Elijah Lee was born in 1777 South Carolina. He
married Malinda Phillips in Greene County Georgia, the
daughter of Mark Phillips.
They settled in
Chambers County Alabama about 1830 not far from Andrew
and Alsey Cooper also from South
Carolina.
Marriage: Charner P. Cooper
and Sarah F. Lee
Sarah's son was Levi
Benjamin Cooper and he married Sarah Elizabeth Carter
in Montgomery and had Susie.
Sarah's father
also came from South Carolina, born 1820 Thomas R.
Carter's parents bought land in Talladega. His father
was John Wise Carter of South Carolina and his parents
were Elizabeth Wise and John Carter.

Sarah Lee and
Charner Cooper married - he served in the Civil War
and their son Levi moved to Montgomery and worked on
the farm of Thomas R. Carter and fell in love with
Carter's daughter Sarah, whom he married and had a
daughter named Susie Mae Cooper. They came from the
Lee and Cooper families of Chambers County and lived
not far from each other. Family says that Elijah Lee
might have bought his land from a Creek Indian and
they surely lived in Creek Indian Territory.

The first Home
Steaders of the City, arriving from Iowa Territory
after many years in Guernsey Ohio.
Jacob and
his first wife with six daughters appeared on the 1870
census of Iowa, then his second wife on the 1880, as
they prepared for the long journey south.
Much
of their families lived near them and some even
followed Jacob to Kansas.
Some of his children
and grandchildren and great grands remain in Kansas
while some ventured elsewhere and began a vast lineage
of their own in Arizona, California,
Colorado,Missouri, Oklahoma and
Alabama.

Alexander, William,
Jacob, Cochrans of Pennsylvania into
Ohio.
Was the Captain Alexander Cochran
of the American Revolution my
ancestor?
Uncertainty about Hugh Cochran
of 1700s Maryland but he also named a son
Alexander. Yet they may all connect to Clan
Cochran of Europe.
My Alexander and
William were the only two Cochran families in
Guernsey Ohio in 1800 and 1810, then their sons
began their own legacy of Cochran.
Family
tale is that two went into Canada and never
returned. Some settled in Iowa Territory for
many years, then California, Kansas and Arizona,
with descendants in Colorado and Alabama.
Jacob, the son of
William, and grandson of Alexander, married
Clora Jane Miller and had our Frank Delbert
Cochran. Frank married Luella Coonfield
and had my father Frankie Lavern Cochran in
1927. Luella's parents were Lattie Little and
Ben Coonfield.
In 1913 Arkansas a nice
blend of genealogy began with the marriage of
Frank and Luella, and once again in 1951 with
Frank and Anne. Anne Carter's parents were
Alice McClain and Cecil Carter. Anne
was orphaned at age 4 and raised by the parents
of Alice, Lorena Emma Bozeman and Charles
Allen McClain in Ramer.
1972 with the
marriage of Charles and Kathy, the surnames in
the family tree doubled, and their daughter's
marriage with Westbrook increases the number of
Grandparents to baby "Carter".
Carter has
a strong ancestry, full of faith and patriotism,
honest, hard working individuals who have
created a loving legacy for him to
continue.
"I have Cherokee blood
in me. I have just enough white blood for you to
question my honesty!"Will Rogers
With
so many families in former Creek Nation Alabama,
it is quite possible we are mixed.

notes from
the LDS site, Rootsweb, and census
records
Frankie was honest, hard
working and faithful, grew up on a farm, some
education until he joined the Air Force.
Baptised in a creek in Chetopa Kansas and read
his Bible every day. His word was law and his
friends knew that he always had a place at the
dinner table for them or an extra chair by the
fish pond.
He served in Korea as a
copilot of a bomber plane and was wounded and
sent back to Maxwell AFB in Alabama where he
then told his brother Freelon that it was too
hot for him to go there and Freelon went to
Korea anyway and died in a truck
incident.
Several in my family have had
special gifts, the gift of knowing and seeing,
the gift of healing or the ability to stop
bleeding. Dad had several true premonitions and
the night before he passed away, he held me in
his arms saying I love you more than you will
ever know and he was gone on that Christmas
morning.
His sister Irma was born with a
veil over her face. His aunt heard ticking in
the wall before a loved one died. His granny
Clora smoked a pipe and could read the ashes. He
witnessed many healings by my mom's granny and
he was very close to her. Most made their own
medicines. He spoke of his mother spending hours
in the field gathering herbs.
He found
peace at the fish pond, that is where he could
be found on the weekends and I feel now that he
is at peace with his elders and loved ones while
guiding me along this journey of
love.
Named
after my great grandmother Lorena Bozeman
McClain who was born in 1890 Ramer, Montgomery,
Alabama, I have thoroughly enjoyed writing about
this great lady and her heritage.
After
my parents passed away and my husband died of
cancer, I began to write about them and their
family trees when I was unable to
sleep.
Our families have traveled many
miles and intertwined in the same communities,
some knowing each other, many moons ago.

Lineage
Charles Brooks had
dozens and dozens of ancestors migrating into
Alabama in the early 1800s. Joseph Baxley born
1815 Georgia or possibly as some speculate, in
SC., married Mary Evans and named a son James H.
- the tombstone of James has the middle name as
Hardie. James served in the Civil War and
married Louisa Miranda Holt and resided in
"Holtville". Their daughter Ella Olivia Baxley
married L. W. Hood and had Bessie Mae Hood who
married Milton Elijah Thornton. Elijah's parents
were Mary Angeline Partridge, an indian, and
George Thornton, a mixed blood from Georgia, who
had settled in Central, Elmore County, Alabama.
Elijah's daughter, Mary Ella Thornton married
James Edgar Brooks Jr. Parents of James were
Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. James
and Susie are listed on the 1930 census with
both their widowed mothers. Susie's ancestors
were in Chambers County about 1830: Andrew
Cooper and "Alsey" from SC living near Malinda
Phillips and Elijah Lee born 1777 SC. Their
children Sarah F. Lee married Charner P. Cooper,
a soldier from the Civil War, and had a son
named Levi who moved to Hope Hull working on a
farm owned by Thomas Randolph Carter, where he
fell in love with the daughter, Sarah Elizabeth
Carter. Parents of Thomas were "Mary" and John
Wise Carter of SC who had migrated to Talledega.
Thomas is buried in Hope Hull on his old
plantation by his first wife Lacy Jane Bozeman.
Her name was Lucy on census but Lacy on her
tombstone. Thomas served in the Civil War and
his grandfather Captain John Carter served in
the American Revolution, along with his own
father in law, John Wise of South
Carolina.
The second wife of Thomas
Carter was Mary Josephine Hereferd of Virginia
and she was the mother of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter.
Mary was not very happy with this
marriage and had only the one child. She buried
Thomas by his first wife. Some of Mary's family
settled in Alabama and some moved on to Texas.
Mary's mother was Jemima Ramsey of
Virginia.
Parents of James Brooks were
Annie Ballard and John Brooks of Tennesse and
they are all buried at Greenwood Cemetery in
Montgomery Alabama. John was a railroad man,
born to Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and a John
Brooks born 1837 Pennsylvania.
John 1837
died of tuberculosis in Texas. Parents of
Roxanna were Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith.
Parents of Annie Ballard were Dora Craig and
James Ballard of TN. Some of these families
migrated into Tennessee about 1800 from the
Carolinas living amongst the Cherokee Indians
and Chickasaw so they could have been mixed
blood. Annie's picture shows she was a dark lady
with black eyes and black hair and so was her
husband's features very dark but I would suspect
his from the Smith side of the
family.
Charles Brooks wed Kathy Cochran
in Montgomery Alabama. She was at least one
eighth Cherokee blood. Her parents were Anne
Carter and Frank Cochran. Anne's parents were
Alice Emily McClain and Cecil Earl Fenn Carter.
Emily was called Emma,Ellie, and Emmer by her
parents Lorena Bozeman and Charles McClain
Lorena's parents were Alice Lorena Stephens and
John Thomas Bozeman. Charlie's parents were
Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion
McClain.
The father of John Bozeman was
Peter Edward Bozeman, a Civil War Soldier who
married Nancy Jane Anderson, and her father was
Seaborn Montgomery Anderson, another Civil War
soldier. Seaborn had married Lavinia Jane
Sellers.
The eldest Anderson in
this line is listed at familysearch.org as a
full blood Cherokee.
The Sellers wives are
listed as indian and the Schrimpshire families
intermarried with Sellers are also Cherokee
while one of the Shcrimpshire girls married
Chief Dennis Bushyhead and one of the girls
became mother of Will Rogers.
Cecil Carter's parents
were Anna Lou Stone and William Franklin Fenn.
Frank was born in Tuskegee to Emeline Harrell
and John Fenn a Civil War soldier of Georgia.
Anna's parents were Mary Ann Hendrick and
Augustus Marvin Stone of Georgia. Anna divorced
Frank Fenn about 1901/1902 and remarried to a
Carter, then to a Dasher, as found in Georgia
census records.

records show the date of birth of Charlie was

Many
roots and branches needing
attention
some branches have famous
Indian Chiefs some registered in Indian
Nation some were rejected
many of the
historial indian names that others are
researching managed to be in our family
tree yet not in my direct
line.
actually this family tree became a
kudzoo vine with over 17,000
members
my direct line said NO WAY to the
Trail of Tears and became "white" thinking they
would be free
This page is actually the
entry to the rest of our research. Genforum
failed to send me the sign in name and
password for the old webpage, after repeated
requests and when you toss your
cookies, you can't get back in, so here we
go <giggles>
We are Native
American, speak English, and never lived in
a teepee :)
We grew up with truth and
honor. Respect for all creations. A passion
for art and music runs strong in our
family.
As a young child in Montgomery,I
played with the kids next door who were full
blood Indian; the Jackson family got along so
well with mine and our mothers had a lot in
common with their recipes, hobbies and
customs.
In Arizona many spoke spanish;
I remember a huge Catholic church where we all
went for vaccinations but best of all were the
outdoor festivals held there.
I love
working on our family tree but unable to
travel to the many places required to get
more facts, so I add my little collection of
old photos, notes, and stories so enjoy
!
Much love and appreciation to my
wonderful aunts and cousins working on this
line. One of my new online cousins turned out to
be my best friend from high school and our paths
crossed as we both researched our grannies; such
fond memories of a truly wonderful friend, Linda
McClanahan of Forest Hills.

Father
always called Mother his little Indian Squaw and
she loved it. They were a very proud Indian
couple yet never knew the language or customs
known to those on Indian Reservations. Our
families grew up with grandparents who had a
tonic or poltice for their ailments and grew
their crops to feed their families - mother
nature took good care of them. They traveled our
great nation seeking answers that were never
found. We lived among other Indian
families...Mother was Cherokee, possibly half
blood; Father was both Cherokee and another
tribe, possibly Creek, or Shawnee, since
his mom stated they were from two different
tribes. =Mother's line has many women with
first names only, which could also be a clue
that there may be other Indian tribes involved
in this family tree. I find it so strange that
the men are well known, even their middle names,
while nothing is known about their brides. Yes
it would seem that the well known, well to do,
McClains and Bozemans would at least remember a
granny's last name. There are several McClains,
Moons, Cochrans, Littles on the Indian Rolls
registered in Oklahoma, but it is so very
hard to locate a connection. Was John McClain
a son of our Charles and Cherokee or was it
his wife who had Indian Blood? We have so much
work to do ! The census records are all black
and white, Indians were mostly put down as
colored. Even the 1850 census records show race
only as B W or C. Indians lost their lands and
they lost their rights to be treated humanely.
Some were dragged from their homes and forced to
move to Oklahoma Indian Territory and many did
not survive the trip...Perhaps my ancestors died
on the Trail of Tears, yet they might have
hidden until it was safe to come out and claim
to be white, so they would be treated as equals.
Those who hid might have become the Over Hill
Cherokee Tribe. Others moved into Kentucky or
Tennessee, intermarried, learned a trade or
fought in the Civil War. They took on famous
white names so nobody would suspect they were
Indian.Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri,
Illinois and even Texas and Arkansas became a
safe haven to many tribes...Of course Kentucky
became a state after actually being a part of
Virginia; Tennessee was actually a part of North
Carolina. We have the locations and the time
periods yet we have no documentation to prove
our Indian Blood. The Indians became
invisible. They had no choice! One ancestor
suffered a house fire that destroyed any
documents and photos that might connect to our
past. He was Annie Stone Fenn's oldest son. We
are finding more connections to Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina before the Trail of
Tears began and know that many were intermarried
with these tribes, before they moved into
Georgia or Kentucky and onward.Some came out of
New York Indian Country, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, removing to Ohio and on westward
mingling with other tribes, and starting a new
life. My John Wright Little left Kentucky and
claimed to be white when he got to Arkansas so
that he could find good work and own land. His
line goes to Charles Weatherford of Virginia
which could be the same father of Chief Red
Eagle. Great Grandpa Charlie McClain had many
visions of his elders, but of course some
thought he was simply crazy. His wife, Lorena
Bozeman was a healer and could stop bleeding,
people still remember her faithful help in
Ramer...Anne Carter also had her visions and her
husband Frank Cochran had amazing premonitions,
not simply intuition, but the true feeling of
happenings in the family, that led him home in
urgency. His sister was born with a veil over
her face which the doctor removed twice and it
still came back ! The third time, her mother,
Luella Coonfield Cochran, took the veil and
placed it in the family Bible that once belonged
to her mother Lattie and it still remains. The
veil is usually a gift to a seer. In my
dreams, I heard mother's voice saying Sleepy
Cloud and I am still trying to learn what she
meant.

- Thank You For
Visiting!
Many
of our ancestors have at some point in their
journeys, spent time residing in Alabama. They
crossed the Atlantic and ventured south for many
reasons and on through the midwest.
Many
of them married young Native Americans and that
is one fact which is very difficult to prove
since it was rarely ever acknowledged on census
records. Then the census officials often could
not spell names correctly! Everyone was black or
white in the 1800s and mostly whites were
allowed to purchase our land and profit from it.
Now we have to prove a direct blood line to our
Indian families or the government will not
recognize us as Native Americans. Can you find
any other race asked to prove
themselves?
If you take a moment to think
about it, we ALL probably have Indian blood in
our family tree.
It's no big deal and
nothing to hide, but certainly something we can
be very proud of because the Indian were a very
proud people who cherished this country and all
their Creator provided within it. They prayed
daily to the Creator and had high respect for
everyone in their peaceful
land.
Clues are found in several
areas, yet we continue to search for the true
answer to our past. Listen to the stories of
your Elders and look around for
clues.
Tracing our roots can be very time
consuming, and extremely addictive: each day we
find a new name to add to the list of
cousins. Each day we find a new story to share
and possibly a shocking fact!
Many of the
branches in my family tree lead to another
Indian Chief and I am still looking for the
Indian Princess in my direct blood
line.
Our Little family has been
researching a link to the sister of Pocahontas,
named Cleopatra, while some researchers say
there is no documentation proving she ever
existed, they cannot prove she
didn't.
One great grandmother married at
the age of 12 and had six children by the age of
19, according to the census records but I do
believe they have her age posted incorrectly. I
am still anxious to know about her life, but she
vanished about 1900 and hopefully to a better
life! Her family may have been laborers on the
Fenn Plantation in Eufaula, and we certainly
read where Indians worked the farm. They shared
every day together and intermarried. Some of the
slaves on that plantation adopted the last name
of FENN.
My mother grew up as white
but learned very early in her childhood that she
was different. She was taught to run hide
whenever the KKK came down the road. Her uncle
was told to sit in the back of the bus during
the days of prejudice.
Now I search for
the answers Mom was seeking - who gave her this
Cherokee heritage.
Names I am now
searching are: Clora Jane Miller Cochran, Lottie
Sadonia Little, Luella Coonfield, Peter Edward
Bozeman (Bosman), Josiah Marion McClain
(McLain), Annie Lee Stone Fenn Carter, William
Frank Fenn, Cecil Earl Carter, John Fann and
Emeline Harrel, Nancy Jane Anderson, Sara Mills
with Joseph Stephens, Mordicai Bozeman of 1700,
Martha Young Coonfield, Mary Epperson Coonfield,
Barsheba Clark Coonfield, and several Moons as
well.
We all connect thru our old ones
and find we are all cousins!

Working
with family stories of the old days, tales of
medicine women, and their beloved soldiers of
the many wars in our country, I may not be able
to prove or officially document our Native
American ancestry, yet knowing it is in my heart
and in my spirit, is all that is really
important.
The stories consist of one
great granny, Lorena, who was a well known
healer in Dublin, Alabama; one who could read
the ashes after smoking her pipe; one aunt born
with a veil over her face ( which was removed
three times) which was the sign of a seer. The
amazing intuition of my father, who left work
immediately when it thundered, knowing that his
baby was about to be born, and yes, I was born
that day, in Broken Arrow, Tulsa,
Oklahoma.
Then we are told of Mr Ward,
working in his field, as a strong
thunderstorm approached, he slammed his axe
into the ground, and the skies
cleared.
Our families pass on many
interesting stories but they all spoke the
English language, yet practiced good survival
skills.
I would love to learn more
about their culture and language, and teach our
children to respect these and the ways of our
elders. Yet we have the stories to pass on and
the love, truth and respect that were taught to
me.
When Indians learned about
Christianity, they welcomed new knowledge of GOD
and the afterlife with their elders. They were
in awe, learning of Jesus, and of course we were
told the Mormons believe that Jesus appeared to
the Old America, so perhaps this faith was quite
welcomed by most the tribes when the Europeans
arrived.
So when they were Baptized, many
were given new names to use and they are almost
impossible to trace now. Some Indians changed
their name more than once during their
lifetime.
Our Stephens line in 1760
married an unknown full blood Cherokee woman in
NC and gave her a Biblical Name.
Due to
Indian unrest and the Trail of Tears, many
Eastern Band Cherokee fled south or up into the
mountains (OverHill) to escape the laws and
disease of the white man. Our family believes
that Charles Weatherford "may" have fathered our
Kitty Weatherford in Virgina before moving to
Alabama and fathering Chief Red Eagle. We also
might connect our Cochran, Little, Wright lines
to Cleopatra, sister of Pocahontas. Many of this
line came from South Carolina and Virginia into
Tennesee and Kentucky before moving to the
Midwest.
Mother's line in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina came into Alabama for
quite some time before some moved
west. (Moon, McClain, Bozeman,Anderson,
Stephens)
Census takers were very
prejudiced and would not recognize Indians
owning property so they put most down as blacks
or mulatto - in some cases the Indian feared the
government finding them so they called them
selves blacks or whites.
After the Trail
of Tears, they believed that no Indians existed
in other areas, so no Indians appeared on census
records, and had to be found on the Indian
Nation Rolls in Oklahoma.
Thus we hope to
find our ancestors registered on the Indian
Rolls, somehow, but it sure seems to be an
endless journey.

Tom
Carter's father was John Wise Carter of South
Carolina and nothing is known of his mother.
John's father, Captain John Carter, served in
the American Revolution with a John Wise. The
daughter of John Wise was Elizabeth and she
married Captain John Carter in South Carolina.
Captain John may have had a brother named
Captain Thomas, explaining how he named his own
son Thomas Carter.
It is unknown why Tom
left his family in Talladega and moved into
Montgomery. He was buying land off the Bozeman
Estate to make a home for his own
family.
Tom lost his first wife and
several children in the small pox epidemic, some
say the flu epidemic. Only two children
survived, Lucy Carter Calloway and William Henry
Carter. Military records indicate that Tom was
sick in a Virginia hospital at one point and
ironically married his second wife, Mary, from
Virginia. Perhaps they had met in Virginia and
she followed him, their story is
unknown.
Mary had only one child, Sarah,
and wanted no more with Tom. When he died she
buried him by his first family and she moved in
with her daughter.
Mary may or may not
have filed for his military pension, thus far, a
record is not found. Name: THOMAS

Our Great Grandmother
married three times. Two of her children
Carrie and Cecil Earl were called "half"
siblings by the other children, but they were
all born while Anna was with Fenn....go
figure.
Had
six children with William Franklin Fenn during
her seven years of marriage. She left him in
Barbour County Alabama with the children, taking
only the baby and moved to join her family of
Stone in Macon City, Bibb, Georgia. There she
remarried and gave the baby the name of Carter.
Little baby Carter told his family that his
grandfather was a full blood Cherokee Chief. Of
course young Carter was a tall handsome dark man
like his siblings, but he did drink too much, so
the chief part may or may not have been fantasy.
The Fenn boys were tall, over 6' and very dark.
The Carters, Stones, Fenns were all in
1700s Georgia in Creek Indian Lands. Elijah Fenn
was the son of Travis and "Mary" and the
grandson of Zachariah Fann - Elijah married
Martha Rich, daughter of Stephen and "Abiah"
Rich. Elijah's son John married Emeline Harrell
and Elijah's daughter Letitia married Thomas
Rich.
Emeline named a son William
Franklin Fenn in 1855. His wife Anna was called
Annie. Annie's parents were Mary Ann Hendrick
and Augustus Marvin Stone. Parents of Augustus
were Sarah Davies and Benjamin Wilburn Stone.
Ben was the son of Mary Polly Wells and Michael
Stone who lived in Captain John Stones District
of Putnam County Georgia. Parents of Mary Ann
were Mary Ann Winters and C C Hendrick. Winters'
parents were Amelia Lyle and Albert Winters, who
married in 1816 Jackson County Georgia which was
then Cherokee Nation East. During this era it
was quite common to marry a native american and
give them a Christian name.
Anna Lou's
baby was named Cecil Earl and he is only found
in Texas census records for 1920 and 1930 during
his military service first at San Antonio and
then at Fort Bliss in El Paso. On the 1900
census Anna's son Robert is not listed so she
may have been pregnant at the time and she may
have also raised him but I have been unable to
locate her on a census after she married or
lived with Mr. Carter - she was very young and
may have had more children with Carter. There
are some possibilites with the census records
but the woman is listed as black and widowed -
then there is one Arnie Carter which could be
Annie in Macon GA and she is alone, a laundress.
Even so, in 1910 and 1920 there is no Robert
listed as her son and the family knew him
personally and he did exist and I found his
tombstone by his brother Frank Jr. Then her son
Arthur is not found after 1910 even though
family says he married, had children, and died
in his 20s.

after this census Frank's father died and Frank

Our great grandfather
Charlie McClain's father came out of Georgia
during the Civil War leaving behind a wife and
children, who eventually filed divorce.
The McClains originally were from Virginia,
migrating into South Carolina, with the marriage
of a Charles McClain to Elizabeth Moon around
1760 and she gave him several sons who migrated
into Georgia long before the Trail of
Tears.
Mars Hill Cemetery in
Cobb County GA
connects to Josiah McClain
of South Carolina who's father was Charles
McClain who might have been in the American
Revolution; Charles had married Elizabeth MOON
in Virginia around 1780 and then migrated into
the Carolinas where their children were
born.
Josiah was born in 1788 SC and
found on census in Georgia. The name on his
headstone is JOSAH
Josiah had James in
1810, John Milton, William Smith, etc. Josiah
also had Charles Pinkney McLain in 1818
SC
They all had many
children.
James named his son Josiah

Thanks
for visiting I am researching many of my
grandparents. Hans Brooks of Holland and his son
John Brooks born 1837 in Pennsylvania. John
Baptist Bond, Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith,
grandson of John Smith, Annie Clark Ballard,
granddaughter of Larkin Francis Ballard, Rowena
Densy Baxter, Peter Bozeman of the American
Revolution, his son William Henry to Peter
Edward, Elisha Anderson to Seaborn Montgomery
Anderson, Lavinia Brack, Hester Doty, William
Sellers, Charles McClain and Josiah, Gideon
Moon, Elijah Lee, Andrew Cooper, Frank Cochran,
Isaac Coonfield, Captain George Little of
Scotland, Christopher Coonfield of Holland,
Alexander Cochran of Scotland, Abraham Crigler,
Lydia Carpenter, Polly Duval, Jesse Simmons,
Kitty Stone, Hester Ward, James Young, Charles
and Catherine Weatherford of Virginia, John C.
Wright, John Wright Little, Reason Roby, John
Fann of England, Zachariah Fenn, Anna Lou Stone,
Frank Fenn, Augustus Marvin Stone, Mary Angeline
Partridge and George Thornton, Milton Elijah
Thornton, Bessie Mae Hood and Ella Olivia
Baxley, and many more.
Most
believe the Boseman or Bozeman families came
from Holland and this we may never know. Edword
Bozeman was found in the 1790 census of
Baltimore, Maryland; John in Talbot, MD;
Lawrence Bouseman in Baltimore. Some served in
the American Revolution and received a pension
along with grants of land, for instance, the
South Carolina Archives lists some as Gabriel,
John, Paul, Jesse, Ralph, James, Mordecai and
probably more with different spellings of our
last name. Of course it would be nice to learn
more about Mordecai even his middle name and if
he was the son of Samuel Edward Bozeman and Mary
White, after all, her brother was named Mordecai
and the name Edward has continued over many
centuries.
So many names were Biblical
yet then we find another set of Bozemans named
Ralph, Fred, George, and Lewis. Names were so
very special, most often, after another dearly
loved family member.
These families were
farmers and many had well educated, successful
careers, mostly throughout the South, as they
explored each new territory as it became
available.
Reverend Bozeman did a
marvelous job writing his "Sketches of the
Bozeman Family" in 1885 and a couple of pages
were scanned to share indicating the whereabouts
of Mordecai. He does not say anything about
Mordecai being a fatality of the Revolution so
we can only assume that he died later from
natural causes, and hopefully that information
will come to light soon.
The 1810 census
of Darlington SC shows only four Bosemans, John,
James, Peter and Chapman. 1800 shows a Thomas
living in Somerset NC. The name Thomas is
carried on through the next century.
*
From 1798 to 1819, a steady influx of Europeans
into Alabama settled on land formerly occupied
by several Native American tribes. Alabama
became a part of the Mississippi Territory in
1798 after Indian cessions in north Alabama.
Migration increased after the end of the Creek
War in 1814. In 1817, the Alabama Territory was
created, and Alabama became the 22nd in December
1819. PETER BOZEMAN was in Alabama on the 1830
census.

Welcome! My
family tree has nearly 18,000 members so one can
certainly get lost in the midst of the many
names involved but the searchbox will help
locate almost any name or location that I have
researched..
I managed to locate my dad's
parents Luella Coonfield and Frank Delbert
Cochran on a few census images, the one in 1930
included my daddy at age 3 and then the four
great grandparents were also traced back a ways.
Frank Delbert's parents were Clora Jane Miller,
a pipe smoker who could read the ashes and Jacob
Benjamin Cochran, a Civil War Vet who had moved
his family to Kansas in 1882 from Iowa..
Jacob had been married and had six
daughters before he was widowed and met Clora. I
had heard that he had joined in the California
Gold Rush and sure enough, found him and his
brother in the California census, while I also
found his wife remaining in Ohio with the
children on another census, right next to his
brother Alexander Cochran. Most of them migrated
into Iowa Territory by 1870
His daughter
Elzira wrote a letter, in my files, about her
daddy coming back with socks of gold dust and
about the move to Iowa where she married her
true love.
Clora's brother John Miller
seemed to have followed them and I do have
pictures of my daddy with some of the Miller
boys who were his cousins.
Luella's
parents were Lattie Cedonia Little born in
Kentucky and Benjamin Wallace Coonfield of
Indiana, but his parents had migrated to
Arkansas many years before..
I had found
that Jacob Cochran was born in 1822 Ohio to
parents from Pennsylvania, Martha Henderson and
William Cochran, a son of Alexander. Apparently
William and Alexander were the only two Cochrans
in Guernsey Ohio at that time. Clora Jane's
parents were Mary Clara Parker and James Madison
Miller of Illinois, while Mary's father was a
Doctor Wanton Horatio Parker, so the story is
told that Mary would help the Indians with
medicine needs. Wanton's parents were Sarah
Tefft and Archelaus Parker who's families were
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island during the
1600s and then into New York Indian Country, but
also with connections to the history of King
Phillip where he killed one of the Tefft
brothers. Many tribes of these areas migrated
into Ohio and Kentucky...blending with the early
settlers.
Lattie was a beautiful mixed
Cherokee indian and family tale is that her
father refused a land allotment in Oklahoma's
Indian Territory and moved his family into
Arkansas.
Benjamin's family of
Indiana were Benjamin Wylie Coonfield, another
Civil War Vet and Martha Frances Young and the
photos of this family indicate they mixed. The
Youngs and Coonfields go way back into 1800
Kentucky near where Daniel Boon's family lived,
finding Squire Boon on the
census..
Lattie Little's parents were
Mary Catherine Crigler and John Wright Little, a
Civil War Vet, both having family in early
Kentucky history books, pages I have copied into
my webpages. Catherine's parents were Nancy
Catherine Roby, (daughter of Reason Roby) and
Abraham Crigler. John's parents were Catherine
G. Wright ( daughter of Catherine Weatherford
and John C. Wright. Catherines father was
Charles Weatherford and we know his wonderful
place in history with Sehoy) and Doctor Hiram
Lucius Little who was a surgeon in the Civil
War.
Hiram's parents were Betsy
Douglass and Jonas Little who were married in
1798 Union County South Carolina. Hiram was
widowed young and moved to Texas with a very
young teen bride ( 14 !! ) and started a new
family in Bosque County.
Parents of Betsy
Douglass were Mary Handley and Alexander
Douglass and after his murder in Pennsylvania,
she moved to South Carolina and later on married
her daughter's father in law. It was Mary
Handley's brother, Captain John Handley, a
surveyor like Daniel Boon, who urged these
families to move into Vienna, Kentucky and gave
land to his sisters.
John Handley and his
son became wealthy land owners and Senators who
are mentioned in the History of Kentucky books.
Hiram Little's brother was named Douglass and he
had his own wagon making shop, but became a
wealthy lawyer as well as his own son Powhatan
Little, also mentioned in those books, as well
as the controversial murder of brother Wesley
Little.
While the Criglers connect to
the historical Germanna Colony of Virginia and
the Millers connect to 1700 Rockingham Virginia
where Reverend Alexander Miller is written about
and buried, I find the story of Captain George
Little born 1733 Scotland so very awesome, as he
settled into Union County South Carolina, served
in the American Revolution, had ten children,
and moved into Kentucky in 1802 where he is
mentioned in several pages of the Kentucky Bios
and Kentucky History Books
Most of these
families also had a great grandfather who served
in the American Revolution.
My mother's
side was a little difficult to trace at first,
since she was orphaned at age 4, but it soon
came to light. Her parents were Alice Emma
McClain and Cecil Earl Fenn Carter but he did
not use the name Fenn, since his mother Anna Lou
Stone had remarried a few times. Cecil's death
certificate was signed by his brother Emmett
Marvin Fenn who added the parents names of Annie
Stone and William Franklin Fenn, so I ordered
William's death certificate and found his
parents were Emily Harrell and John F. Fenn of
Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama, and census
records show they were born in Georgia in 1829.
Anna Stone's family also came out of
Georgia into Macon, Alabama on the 1850 census,
Augustus Marvin Fenn and Mary Ann
Hendrick.
One item to disrupt our
genealogy of Cecil Carter is that his brother
Frank Fenn, often told his children, that Cecil
and Carrie were only "half-siblings" and that
puzzle will haunt us forever.
Perhaps
Uncle Frank Fenn did not want to be related in
any way to the indian blood that ran through
their veins - perhaps he lived as white and
shunned his siblings - perhaps they were darker
skinned than he was - perhaps their mother did
fool around with a Mr. Carter long before she
married him - we will never know the truth, but
she did remarry and give Cecil the Carter name
that he used for the rest of his life, and his
sister Carrie did marry a Choctaw Indian Ben
Johnson and they died in Indian Nation Oklahoma.
Ben signed an affidavit that his mother was full
blood indian America Mills from Alabama and that
his father would not let her sign onto the
Indian Rolls so this sets a fine example of the
difficulty our families dealt with and how it
affects our research. But my grandfather Cecil
Earl Fenn Carter was proud to be a Cherokee and
so was my mother. Another tidbit in the puzzle
was Cecil's younger son being named William
Lawrence Carter in 1935 - where does the name
Lawrence enter the family history? Was Cecil's
adopted father a Lawrence Carter? There are no
records, no paper trail thus far to confirm
anything! Then again where does the name Earl
enter the family? It was not Anna's father's
name nor her husband's name? Cecil's other son
was Cecil Earl Carter Jr and he named his sons
Cecil Mark Carter in 1950, Jeffrey Earl,
Michael, and Bradford Earl Carter.
Parents of Alice McClain were Lorena
Emma Bozeman born 1890 Ramer, Alabama and
Charles Allen McClain born 1886 Ramer. His
parents were Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah
Marion McClain, a Civil War Vet, but I never
found a marriage record. Elizabeth's parents
were Mary Susan Stephens and Abner Broadway.
Lorena's parents were Alice Lorena
Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman of Ramer,
Alabama. The Bozeman lineage has been a
fascinating study of our ancestors in 1700 North
Carolina, living among the indians and fighting
in our War of Indiependence, before Peter sold
his Land Grant in 1826 and migrated into Hope
Hull, Montgomery County Alabama and beginning
this new legacy, where he lived amongst some of
the most historical families of our state.
The Stephens families had several
plantations around Dublin and Ramer and a family
history book was written by cousin Clyde
Stephens, with a copy in the Ramer Library.
Perhaps Lorena and Charles were cousins a few
generations back. But Clyde wrote that our
grandfather John Stephens joined the American
Revolution in the Carolinas and then married a
full blood indian, then migrated into Montgomery
Alabama. Some of his descendants ventured into
the new Texas Territory and returned with most
going into Florida and then into Panama where
they now grow bananas and sell to the world.
Lorena's grandmother was Nancy Jane
Anderson and I found her grave at Greenwood
Cemetery!
Elizabeth Broadway had a
sister, Rebecca Lou Broadway who married Clopton
Gibson and had a son named Jason
Gibson.
Jason Gibson married Lorena's
sister Ethel Mae Bozeman, and had a daughter
named Ruby Gibson.
When I talked with
Ruby and her sister Peggy, on the phone years
ago, she told me that Charlie McClain and Jason
Gibson had talked about being first cousins so
this gives a better confirmation to this
research.
Ruby's daughter Elizabeth gave
me a copy of a letter written by Ethel about her
childhood days, about the death of her mother,
and how they had to live with grandma Nancy Jane
for a while and the difficult times they
had.
I can remember the ladies all wore
long dresses, no such thing as slacks for women
back then!!! But Lorena could buy dresses for a
nickel at the Salvation Army and we enjoyed
shopping there. She could also cut older
garments into squares to make her quilts and I
still possess three of them that I helped her to
make in the 1960s.... .
When I began
researching my husband's family tree, his cousin
Clarence helped out a lot, sending old photos
and letters. Clarence had studied a cemetery in
Hope Hull where one of their grandfathers was
buried but it was also on property once owned by
my Bozeman ancestors.
Cousin Clarence
wrote the article you will find on the website
called Alabama Cemetery Preservation regarding
the cemetery in Hope Hull that they just call
Stokes - Carter but I would like to call it
Bozeman - Carter for the wonderful families we
have buried there affecting both my family and
my husband's family who came together then just
as they do now.
My husband's parents
were Mary Ella Thornton and James Edgar Brooks,
Jr. Mary's parents were Bessie Mae Hood and
Milton Elijah Thornton. Milton's parents were
Mary Angeline Partridge and Charles Thornton of
Georgia. Bessie's parents were Ella Olivia
Baxley and L. Wesley Hood of Holtville Alabama
and Ella's mother was a Holt. The parents of
James were Susie Mae Cooper and James Edgar
Brooks of Montgomery. Susie's parents were Sarah
Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper of
Hope Hull, Alabama.
Sarah's parents were
Mary Josephine Hereford of Virginia and Thomas
Randolph Carter, a Civil War Vet, but he had
been widowed from his first marriage to Lacy
Jane Bozeman. Parents of Levi were Sarah F. Lee
and Charner P. Cooper, both from Chambers County
Alabama until he moved after serving in the
Civil War.
Parents of James Brooks came
from Tennessee, Annie Clark Ballard and John E.
Brooks. John's parents were Roxanna Permilia
Smith and John Brooks. Parents of Annie were
Dora Craig and James C. Ballard, all with rich
Tennessee History of the early 1800s.
All of these families are linked within
this webpage
where I have a little study on each of them and
on this
page and for a much longer list of documents
that I have collected click
here and the memorial I made for my husband
is here and
of course the Family Tree
Maker page.
I hope that my
children and theirs will someday realize that
all of the people named above are their family -
they are your grandparents and great
grandparents and bring you a vast family history
worth much more research than I can offer. We
have dozens of men who served in the American
Revolution, which set our country free, and then
dozens more in the Civil War, and many listed in
stories of our colonial history.

Mordecai
Bozeman
The above
mentioned Thomas Randolph Carter had married
Lacy Jane Bozeman, served in the Civil War, and
lost his wife and some children to an
epidemic. He remarried to Mary Josephine
Hereferd and they had a daughter named Sarah
Elizabeth Carter.
Sarah married
one of his farm workers, Levi Benjamin Cooper
and they had Susie Mae Cooper who we all knew as
Mamaw. Mamaw had married James Edgar
Brooks Sr and their child was James E Brooks Jr.
who was married to Mary Ella
Thornton.
Mamaw's husband
was the only child born to Annie Clark Ballard
and John Edwin Brooks of
Tennessee.
Mamaw's
daughter Sissy helps me with the story about the
Carters, saying that when Thomas died, his wife
Mary, had him buried beside his first family
then she went to live with her
daughter.
Then later on
census I found the widows Annie and Sarah living
with Mamaw in the Oak Park area.
Families usually took care of the widowed, took
them in and loved them.
That would seem
the case with the above mentioned Martha Hill
Bozeman. While she had the writ of dower
to protect her home, she probably felt very much
alone living beside Jesse and had to move away
to be near her own family to raise her
children.
Kathy Cochran's ancestors
in Kentucky http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~kc90853/Kentucky/Little-Handley-Douglass-Crigler-Roby-Wright-Weatherford.html
Father of Peter
who also joined him in serving in the American
Revolution as told and confirmed from the book
Sketches - along with Mordecai's son
John.
Peter's bounty land in Darlington
South Carolina was surveyed in 1826 as he began
the long journey to the new lands in
Alabama. His brother John had
already migrated to Mississippi with his indian
bride. Peter had married a widowed Sarah
Brown and adopted her two little girls, and
having more
children.
By 1826 all
were grown and married with children of their
own and they all loaded their wagons, every one
of them but Peter's younger brother James, who
remained in Darlington.
The South
Carolina Archives on the web has many articles
and documents regarding these families and the
Alabama Probate Office records began in 1828
where Peter is having a dispute with the
Treasury Office demanding his Bounty Land in
Montgomery. One of the documents was signed by E
Stephens.
Peter died in
1829. His estate sale includes the names
of his wife and children and many other names
who came with him from Darlington
SC.
There was a
John Stacie listed and he might have been the
husband of Sarah Bozeman. Vincent Joiner's
signature appears on the Estate of Peter so he
must be connected.
Peter Bozeman
and families were settled in a community named
Hope Hull in Montgomery County Alabama, actually
named by Abner McGee who lived
nearby.
The Bozeman
Plantation consisted of 160 acres in the
beginning but McGee had purchased much more. The
lots were sold at two dollars an acre in lots of
80 acres
Peter's son
Jesse M takes over the family business
handling all documents which can be found in
Alabama Probate Office because his
parents could not read nor write and only
signed their X mark when
needed.
In the
1830 census of Alabama, all of Peter's
children are found and their spouses
except Meedy who had died about 1827. In 1840
William Henry lived next to Jesse but William
died in 1848 and the paper trail of his estate
began. In 1830 young Peter and Gilly are
found living next to Anderson and the late
Meedy's son Peter Henry moved into Mississippi
near their Uncle John who had migrated from
Darlington with his Cherokee bride in 1823 and
started a vast lineage
there.
Jesse's
siblings are found further apart, perhaps
trouble is brewing from Jesse's
control.
Jesse's wife
died and he married the widow of James Freeman,
named Frances and he adopted her children and
they had more. The grave of James Freeman
Bozeman was found beside Lacy's. Jesse's
son with his first wife was named Jesse A and he
steps in to take control when his father
died. Jesse A married Missouri Flinn
and the Alabama History mentions her Flinn
family moving into Alabama, living in a
wilderness full of wild beasts and several
tribes of indians.
The lands of Montgomery County were put up
for auction at the Federal Land Office in
Milledgeville, Georgia in 1816. Larger parcels
were sold to developers who subdivided the land
into lots for urban commercial and residential
use, predetermining a major city on the banks of
the Alabama River at Montgomery. A hardy and
superior class of people penetrated the
wilderness. Settlements and towns sprang into
existence everywhere. The City of Montgomery,
which became the county seat in 1822, was built
on the side of the Indian town Ikanatchati
(Econachatee), which means red ground, and
Towasa on a high red bluff known to Alibamu
Indians as Chunnaanaauga Chatty.
In 1848 Jesse
petitions the court on behalf of William's
orphaned children and asks for a Writ of Dower
for land and the home to remain with the widow,
Martha Hill Bozeman. He asks for everything else
to be sold and divided equally among the
children, some grown and some minors, but he
also begans to purchase some items for
himself.
Tombstones of
Jesse Bozeman, Lacy Jane Bozeman and her husband
T R Carter were found recently on the property
they once owned in Hope Hull - the property
which Thomas Carter bought from William Henry
Bozeman's estate, which was possibly once owned
by William's father, Peter Bozeman,the American
Revolutionary Soldier.
Plus knowing most of these fine young men
served in the Civil War; and knowing that my
great great great grandfather Peter Edward
Bozeman was born on this piece of land is
overwhelming.
In 1850 Martha
is gone from the home place. She has moved
to another part of Montgomery which seems to be
among her own siblings. Her sons Peter
Edward and John Thomas stay with her, and her
daughter Martha M.
She is listed
on the census as Mrs. Martha Bozeman so she is
hard to locate so it might be easier for
researchers to search for whom I believe is her
sister's husband next to her, Moses
Rushton. Note that all of the women listed
on this census page were born in South Carolina
and could be more of her
family.
Martha's sons
served in the Civil War. Peter Edward
Bozeman married Nancy Jane Anderson and their
son John Thomas Bozeman married Alice Lorena
Stephens.
Martha's
daughter married Norman Campbell and her other
son, Meady married a widowed Sarah Brewer,
adopted her children and moved to Birmingham
Alabama.
Martha's son
John Thomas Bozeman married Nancy Kizar Hill -
yes another Hill in the family
tree. The wives applied for
confederate pensions in
Montgomery.
There was a
witness John A Hill on the application of Nancy
Jane - yes another Hill and his father was John
H. Hill who had also moved his family from
Darlington
In fact Peter
Edward Bozeman's grave has been found on the
property previously owned by John A
Hill. John's son R L Hill is
buried beside Peter along with Alice Lorena
Stephens Bozeman nearby.
John Hill
founded the Hills Chapel Church in 1872 and
provided a public cemetery in front of it away
from his own private family cemetery behind the
church.
All along the Meriweather Trail.
My
recent visit in May 2007 to Hills Chapel to join
other descendants of Peter Edward Bozeman
revealed they knew nothing about his father
William Henry nor Martha Hill Bozeman.
They never knew they were related to the
Bozemans of Hope Hull which was only a few miles
down the road. Maybe Martha never told her
children because she left Jesse and his
controlling behavior behind her when she
moved.
They knew that
Peter Edward was the father of John Thomas
Bozeman but did not realize Alice Lorena
Stephens ( John's first wife and our grandmother
) was buried on this Hill property.
Finding her tombstone was so exciting !
She was the indian in our family
tree. Alice had named two of her
daughters Lorena and Ethel, to whom we all
connected. However, John's second wife was
Sarah Ellen Bean ( yes kin to the hanging Judge
Roy Bean ) and her son was Bob, and
some of Uncle Bob's children were there with
us.
Ethel
Peter Edward
also had a son named Peter James Bozeman who
married Dora Ann Dillard, who came from the
nearby Dillard Plantation - their granddaughter
Dora also attended our gathering and we enjoyed
her family stories.
Peter James and
John Thomas are buried with their wives in the
public cemetery out in front of the Hills Chapel
Church, as well as Ethel's family. Ethel
Mae had married Jace Gibson, son of Clopton
Gibson and Rebecca Broadway, a daughter of
Abner.
Ethel's sister
Lorena had married Charles Allen McClain in 1908
in Ramer and they lived along Hickory
Grove. Charles was the son of Elizabeth
Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain
who's ancestors came from Spartanburg,
SC. Parents of Elizabeth were Mary
Stephens and Abner Broadway who also had
grandfathers in the War.
Abner's parents
were "Mary" and Abner Broadway of Sumter
South Carolina and bought land in Alabama in
1837. Grandfather William Pool Broadway
served in the American
Revolution.
Lorena Bozeman
McClain's daughter, Alice Emma, married Cecil
Earl Fenn Carter in Montgomery Alabama about
1931. They had a daughter named Anne Alice
Carter who married Frankie Lavern Cochran.
Their daughter Kathy Lorena married Charles
Brooks. The Cochrans were found on the
1920 census of Chelsea, Rogers, Oklahoma living
near Will Rogers. They had come out of
Kentucky to Arkansas to
OK.
Charles is
buried at the Dublin Church of Christ Cemetery
but Lorena is buried at Memorial Cemetery
along the Bozeman Drive in Montgomery, Alabama
just off Mobile Road ( Mobile Road goes back to
Hope Hull ). Lorena's uncle Robert Bozeman
owned all that land along Bozeman Drive and
donated some for that cemetery. Robert
also named a street after each of his daughters
when they got married.
Uncle Robert
was another son of Peter Edward and his full
name was Robert Henry
Bozeman.
Peter Edward's
son George M. died young of yellow fever. Walter
"Wattie" was a streetcar motorman who Lorena
wrote about, died during cotton pickin
time.
Millard Milton,
another son of Peter, married Nettie Barrow and
named a son "Clyde"
< go
figure>
The name George
has not been in the family lineage thus far,
however, there was a George Hill, large
plantation owner, who could possibly have a part
in this work later on.
Peter's
daughter Alice Lucy married W S Wilson and moved
to Jefferson County, taking along her mentally
disabled sister Martha Jane Francis
Bozeman.
Peter's son
Mead married Leila Campbell ( cousin? ) but he
died in 1920 and is buried by his mother Nancy
Jane Anderson Bozeman in a large Bozeman family
plot at Greenwood Cemetery, close to the
entrance on the left.
The Andersons
also came from the Carolinas and connect to
Edward Doty of the Mayflower and our first
Thanksgiving.
Nancy Jane's
parents were Lavinia Jane Sellers ( of the
Carolinas ) and Seaborn Anderson. Seaborne
Montgomery Anderson served in the Civil War
while his great grandfathers had served in the
American Revolution.
Elisha
Anderson's Will was probated in Montgomery
Alabama. His mother was Lavinia
Brack. She was the daughter
of Eleazor Brack and Hester Doty - Eleazor
had served in the American Revolution and the
Doty family had native american
blood
Lavinia
Sellers' parents were William Calvin Sellers Jr
and Levinia Anderson, a sister of Seaborn (
cousins married cousins ) . Calvin had served in
the War of 1812 and his father had served in the
American Revolution. Calvin's brother
Alfred Sellers had married Elizabeth Anderson,
another sister of Seaborn.
Calvin's great
grandparents were Elisha Sellers ( Am Rev
Soldier ) and Sarah Jane Peeples of the Cherokee
Nation East. Elisha's mother was
also native american, Mary Willis born 1710
in North Carolina.
Many of our
cousins and ancestors played a part in the
growth of the east coast in the 1600s and 1700s
among many nationalities and tribes who also
existed there and they fought to protect our
country.
They also
learned the English Language ! Indians
were overwhelmed with the Bible stories about
the Creator. Many took on Biblical names
when baptized.
Storytelling
has been a fascinating part of our heritage and
it must continue.
When I try to
research the possible parents of Mordecai
Bozeman, it is logical to think of Mary
White, who married Samuel Bozeman, and she
also had a brother named Mordecai White, so she
would be my first choice. Yet we may never
know the name of Mordecai Bozeman's wife,
perhaps she was also native
american.
Very few others
before us have attempted to research this family
tree in Alabama. Jimmy Ray was kind enough
to help me realize which Peter Bozeman connected
to Ramer. Wayne Bozeman found records on
our family in Hope Hull and Wayne is married to
my husband's cousin. The Gibsons
assisted with the lineage of Ethel Mae and
joined us at Dublin when we discovered the grave
of Peter Edward Bozeman. Visits,
interviews, phone calls, letters, emails, have
brought us all together. I really hope
that the younger generation of the Bozeman Clan
will carry on with our labor of
love. Jimmy Ray's daughter is
currently working with DAR to get the name of
Peter Bozeman established in their book, so the
rest of us can join or at least appreciate his
history.

Cousin Dora told us there were once
at least 50 or so tombstones behind Hills Chapel
and here is one small stone being
uncovered
Perhaps the family could not locate
the original headstone of Peter so they ordered

John Brooks of Holland descendents
in Alabama.
My grandfather Frank Delbert Cochran's
parents were Jacob Benjamin Cochran born in
1822, and Clora Jane Miller who had
married in Iowa after Jacob's first wife Mariah
White had died. Both had children by their
previous marriage.
Jacob's parents were Martha Henderson and
William Cochran, a son of Alexander.
Jacob
Cochran was one of the very first families to
homestead in
Hill
City, Kansas after they left Iowa. His
daughter Clora kept my Aunt Bernice
informed
of their history. The Cochrans had some
awesome sky blue eyes and the men never went
bald
like we see some families like the Brooks men
who had lost their hair before the age of
30.
Alexander Cochran raised his family in Pennsylvania
and soon settled into Ohio, possibly Quakers,
with several sons joining the Civil War
and
even living in California during the Gold Rush.
Later these young men moved to Iowa to
farm the new
land, and after several years, Jacob Benjamin
Cochran moved to Kansas with second wife
Clora
Jane Miller, a daughter of Mary Clara Parker and
James Madison Miller. The Millers were
Irish from Rockingham Virginia.
Many
of these mixed migrations were referred to as
Pennsylvania Dutch.
Family
lore is that Mary Parker shared medicine
with the indians and research shows that her
ancestors were
in the 1600s and 1700s New York Indian Country
as well as Mass and Rhode Island, with one
cousin,
Joshua Tefft was killed by King Phillip.
One Mr Sweete was banned from England as a
Catholic
Priest and lived in exile in France. These
cousins from the 1600s do not really count but
it is
really touching to know they had something to do
with our being on this earth.
As
far as documenting the Cochran lineage, I have
none beyond Jacob to prove the names of his
parents
or grandparents. Locating a census record
or a will or more would help to prove this
lineage.
Perhaps
Jacob told his children about his parents but
reading the census records, I can safely say
there
were dozens of Williams, Alexanders, and Jacob
Cochrans in Pennsylvania and Ohio and
even those
who migrated to Iowa Territory. Apparently
William Cochran married Martha Henderson in
Ohio
and had Jacob but this author has not located a
marriage record. Several Cochrans came out
of
Pennsylvania and Maryland into Ohio and causes a
bit of confusion in tracing our own, because
they used the same names for their sons over and
over.
Frank Delbert Cochran married
Luella Ellen Coonfield in Arkansas 1914;
he had met her while he was in Arkansas looking
for work and he had worked in mines and in the
farm during his life. Luella's parents were
Lattie Cedonia Little and Benjamin Wallace
Coonfield.
All of these families supported
our country in the military services and several
are found listed in the Rosters of the Civil
War.
As far as my own family heritage
goes, I know that Lattie and Luella said they
were Cherokee, some write to me rejecting that,
but it is so, my father and his sisters said so,
so that is enough for me.
Fortunately
for many other lineages, those before us have
done a lot of research that I can go back
and
verify for myself leaving reason to believe most
of what I can see.
Isaac
and Barsheba Clark Coonfield spent many years in
early Kentucky and then moved to Indiana
with
their grown children. She was found widowed on
the 1830 census. Her son Isaac Benjamin
Coonfield
moved his family to Arkansas. This family is
mentioned in the book of the Early History of
Morgan
County Indiana.
There
was a John Martin Coonfield born about 1795 in
Pennsylvania following Isaac who could have
been
a brother, surely not his son, but also
found in KY and OH. There was a John
McMasters Coonfield
born 1796 Kentucky who might be the son of Isaac
and Barsheba but at this point, it is so
confusing.
Those early 1800 census records did not
give age nor location of birth, and it did not
list the
number nor names of the children, so we really
do not know when nor where Barsheba Clark
married
Isaac Coonfield and thus far we can only guess
at the names of their parents and surely
Barsheba
would have at least one son named after her own
father which was the custom.
One
of their daughters married an Obediah Clark, and
one married Arch Clark, and I am thinking
of how
royalty preferred to keep it in the family. Both
Clarks followed Barsheba to
Indiana.
Now
I wonder why the move? They leave their
established homes and farms in Kentucky to start
over
and this is before 1830.
Grandma
Barsheba also had a son named Isaac who married
Lydia Epperson, named his son Isaac, while
that John Coonfield named a son Isaac and
Barsheba's other son James, also named a son
Isaac,
so we must be careful reading those census
images.
Lydia
died young and her sister Mary Epperson married
Isaac and they moved to Arkansas having
more
children, and may have lost three sons in the
civil war.
Lydia's
son Benjamin Wylie Coonfield married Martha
Frances Young in Indiana and moved to
Arkansas,
having a son named Ben. My Aunt Deloris
Cochran said that Ben's hair was so black
that
it looked blue.
Martha's
parents were possibly Minerva Evans and James
Young of Kentucky and there was a George
Young on the 1860 census in their household,
probably a brother of James. Martha named
sons
George and James so this is only my theory of
her genealogy. Martha's father and uncle
appear
to have been born in Pennsylvania while her
mother if from Kentucky. Then the 1850
census shows
us that the Uncle George was bron in New Jersey
and that the first son of James, named
Edward,
was born in Iowa so now we get to research that
state as well. There was only one James
Young
found in 1840 Iowa Territory, and he was in Des
Moines.
When
I look into 1820 Clark County Kentucky there are
several Youngs and Evans families close
together
and even an Epperson family.
1810
shows Eddward, 2 James, William, Robert, John
and Mr Original Young !! Original seems to
the
the elder and with no children in household.
Also finding Peter, James, Abrahama nd a
Mabra Evans.
Then 1800 M Evans is in South
Carolina.

Great
Grandpa Benjamin Wallace Coonfield married
Lattie Cedonia Little and they had Amy, Ruth
and
Luella Coonfield, Harrison and several other
children. Amy married Joe Gray and I had
corresponded
with their daughter Verna, who forwarded copies
of her late sister's research ( Dorline
Gray
Teegardin ) who was trying to connect this
lineage to Chief Powhatan. Cousin Verna even
sent me
a p;icture of my dad, Frankie Cochran, when he
was very young. On the phone she was very
sweet
and glad that I was working on our lineage,
saying that much of Dorline's work had been
loaned
out and there was not much she could copy for me
to learn from, but thought that her sister,
Dorline
had joined a Pocahontas Club. Ruth married
Bates and Harrison married Inez
Gray.
Dorline
had also been corresponding with our cousin
Martha Hawes in Arizona, who also shared a
great amount
of research with me regarding L P Little.
L P Little had a great way of leaving a
trail of his elders
by giving each child a middle name of one of his
ancestors and I am honoring him and his
work
by writing about him on the Kentucky webpage. In
fact Lucius had written articles about others
that
he knew and I would love to find a copy to add
to my little collection of things in our
genealogy.
Arkansas
land records indicate that Isaac Coonfield
bought land in 1856.
Hiram
Lucius Little, was the father of our John Little
and the son of Betsy Douglas and Jonas Little,
had lost his wife, Catherine Wright, in
Kentucky
and moved to Texas. His son John Little
served in the Civil War as a blacksmith,
married, had
several children, lost his wife and then moved
his family into Arkansas.
Our
grandma Betsy was found widowed and living with
her daughter Betsy Roberts on the 1850
census.
Hiram
Little married Rebecca Isabella Adams in Bosque
County Texas and had more children including
a Hiram jr. Most are buried at the
Meridian Cemetery. Hiram's headstone refers to
him as a
doctor and a mason. Rebecca was from
Tennessee and they lived beside her sister
Kissiah Brooks and Rebecca named one of her sons
Brooks Little. It is also quite possible
that Hiram was visiting his Uncle John Little (
brother of Jonas ) in Tennessee when he met
Rebecca.
Uncle John's family also went to
Texas. John and Jonas had left other
brothers behind in Newberry South Carolina so we
do not know where they migrated.
Apparently
some of the brothers of grandpa Jonas had
already removed to Texas by 1800 and our
Hiram
had joined them. Our Texas migration needs
further study.
Betsy
Douglass Little had another son named Douglass
Little who married Martha Ann Wright, his
sister
in law. Martha named her first son, Powhatan and
he was a lawyer, and a judge, who was a
great
writer and did a lot of research on his lineage;
as did his daughter, Laura Simmons
Little.
They
traced Mary Handley to parents Martha Mason and
George Handley of Ireland, noting that
Mary
was born asea, on the trip over. Mary's brother
was Captain John Handley. Their notes also
chart
a Thomas Jones settling in the 1600s on James
River in Bermuda Hundred, Henrico County,
Virginia
and wrote about a Polly Jones who may have been
the wife or companion of Charles Weatherford,
but then again their work was blurred and Polly
could have been related to L P's
mother instead.
Mother
of the Wright sisters was Catherine Weatherford,
a daughter of Charles Weatherford in
Charlotte
VA. Alabama land records indicate land
sold to a Charles in 1841 if this is his
grandson by
Red Eagle. So far records only indicate one
Charles Weatherford born in this time period and
it is quite
possible that he had more than one wife than
history would like for us to believe and if he
was indian
trader, he probably had many children that have
not been noted.
History
also indicates that the father of Red Eagle was
from Scotland, and a his grandson on the
creek
indian mailing list says that Charles fathered
many children with many women and then went
back
to Scotland but we may never know the facts.
Some family trees indicate that Charles
was the son
of Martin Weatherford and an indian woman called
Mary in Charlotte Virginia who migrated to
Georgia
and I did find documentation in the Georgia
Archives onlne that show Martin was a wealthy
planter
and it mentions nothing at all about Scotland.
Martin was a loyalist, very outspoken and
the state
of Ga banned him so he moved his family to the
Bahamas and more documentation is found
to prove
that.
Hopefully
something will surface to resolve the
mystery.
Laura
Little joined the DAR and had a monument
dedicated to her great grandfather, Captain
George
Little in Kentucky. Laura's granddaughter,
Martha, in Arizona has assisted with this
research.
Laura had studied the Weatherfords, Wrights and
Chief Powhatan. Laura had joined the
American
Genealogical First Families. leaving a fantastic
paper trail for her descendants to
follow.
Parents
of Betsy were Mary Handley and Alexander
Douglass who were married in PA. MMary's
brother
Captain John Handley became a surveyor like Davy
Crockett and on one trip to the new land
in
Kentucky, before 1800, his brother in law,
Alexander Douglass went with him and never
returned. Alexander
was murdered by indians on his way back home.
His wife took her girls and moved into
a scottish
settlement in South Carolina, where her daughter
married Jonas little. Later the father of
Jonas,
George Little, married his son's mother in law.
Both had become widowed but they had no
children
together that we know of.
Ironically
there was an older Jonas Little in South
Carolina, who's descendants moved southward
and
into Alabama and we can only suspect there may
be some connection to George. The 1790
census
of Newberry, Union, South Carolina shows George
with a housefull of children but it also
shows
others around his home named Jonas, Joseph,
William and John who could also be his
Scottish
siblings. Some of those came through
Alabama
and
Texas but it is hard to configure.
Hiram
Little's son was John Wright Little who married
a Mary Catherine Crigler. John lived with her
family
before the marriage, with her parents Catherine
Roby and Abraham Crigler.
Abraham's
parents were Lydia Carpenter and Owen Crigler.
Catherine's parents were Kitty
Simmons
and Reason Roby. These families left
Virginia to settle in the new land of Kentucky
about 1800
among friendly indians who were also migrating
westward.
John
and Mary were beautiful, dark complected, had
black eyes and black hair and they had
Cherokee
blood.

----------
The
Battle of Alamo lists a soldier named Hiram
Little and there is a possible connection to our
lineage
as some of the decendants are found in Texas
census records. and one receiving a land
grant
in Texas.
Much
of my research is being added to
usgenweb.com
Descendant
of all of these was Frankie Lavern Cochran born
1927.and Kathy Cochran who was born in
Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Oklahoma later moved to
Montgomery Alabama after spendng a few years
in Arizona.
Frankie had dark hair and blue eyes like
his father and his younger pictures resemble his
father,
but as Frankie aged, he resembled his grandpa
Coonfield very much.
Pictures
of Catherine Crigler and then those of the
Coonfield women show us they all had long
dark hair
in braids and dark eyes. Luella Coonfield
and her mother in law Clora Jane both smoked
pipes. The
pipes are in the possession of cousin
Stanley.
Aunt
Irma talked of granny Clora Jane Miller Cochran
being a sweet old lady who stayed with them
for
a while when grandpa Jacob died. Clora
stayed with each of her children, taking turns,
as she had
no place to go. She taught them about corn
and how to pop it. She mysteriously read
the ashes
of her pipe. Aunt Irma was the child born
with a veil over her face. The doctor
removed the veil
twice as it seemed to grow back and on the third
veil, her mother Luella took it and placed it in
the
Bible where it still exists to this
day.
Frankie's
sisters have assisted with this research.
There are many documents, pictures, census
records,
letters marriage licenses, death certificates,
land records, wills, and our other research
