Following the path of the old ones.
Broken Arrow is
my birthplace and both of my parents are Cherokee by
blood.
We lived along Mingo Road in Broken Arrow, Tulsa
County, Oklahoma and my dad's parents at one time lived in Chelsea,
Rogers County, Oklahoma before settling in Labette, KS.
Many
of his family migrated into Arizona near many indian reservations
which still exist and we soon joined them living by his Aunt Eunice.
Mom's brothers visited often and one "Billy Boxcar" owned a roofing
company in Enid, OK while the other "Big Brother" lived in North
Carolina, where his wife's grandfather was a pastor in the Cherokee
Reservation, as told by cousin Mark.
We lived amongst people
of all colors and heard many different languages and took note of
various traditions.
I have followed them as far back as
possible with census records, tax lists, church records, military
records and some land deeds back to 1800 and some census records to
1790 being the first one taken, and found some very old records in
the Archives regarding slave purchases, court petitions, or other
court documents, etc., plus other old stories or books written, such
as cousin Joshua Tefft being hanged, drawn and quartered by King
Phillip in the 1600s Rhode Island history. Also there were books
written by our cousin Lucius Little about our family's involvement
in the History Of Kentucky, and Clyde Stephens's book about the
migration of John into Alabama and his descendants, plus Wagon
Tracks by Fenn, Sketches of Bozeman, Rev Miller by Milo Custer and
many more helpful references to our family tree.

Just me....with Jimmy Ray Bozeman
behind me we have finally discovered the grave of Civil War
Soldier, Peter Edward Bozeman, born in 1834, buried near his
daughter in law Alice Lorena Stephens Bozeman. Peter was married
to Nancy Anderson who also had Cherokee ancestry and connects to
Edward Doty of the Mayflower history. Peter was the son of Martha
Hill and Wm Henry Bozeman. The tombstones were cleaned and
photographed by several of cousins who met us there in the deep
woods.

Just me surveying a very old
cemetery found in an old pasture at Hope Hull. My daughters were
with me when we discovered their daddy's great great grandfather
Thomas Randolph Carter's tombstone monument near my own mother's
great great great Uncle Jesse Bozeman, and both of these men had
migrated from South Carolina in the 1820s. Thomas married the
daughter of Jesse and purchased some of Jesse's brothers land
during the estate sale of William Henry Bozeman in 1847.

Tracing my many greats across the
nation. Doty from Plymouth Rock, Tefft from Rhode Island, Parker
from Mass and NY Indian Country, Brooks from Holland to PA,
Cochran from Scotland to PA Bozeman in 1600s Maryland, my families
migrated repeatedly as the trails were developed with many of my
moms' ancestors in Alabama Territory by 1820 and 1830 as they left
their Carolina plantations and started a new.

Catherine Weatherford Wright (499
KB)
Cherokee by blood, born in the 1790s, and her mother
was probably the mysterious Patsy Weatherford found on the 1810
census of Charlotte Virginia. Catherine's father was Charles
Weatherford, possibly the famous Charles Weatherford, found in
Creek Indian History as written by Pickett - by Chisholm and
Boylston in Montgomery County you will find Pickett Springs and
indian mounds where Charles Weatherford had settled with another
wife name Sehoy. Sehoy's family was buried along the Alabama River
but she and her husband were not.... Anyways, this is my father's
line on his mother's side and explains why his mom said she was
Cherokee.
