Charles Wayne Brooks
1953-1998
married
Kathy Cochran in 1972 and they have several common ancestors found in Montgomery 200 years ago. The wagon trains
flowed into Alabama Territory while it was still a vast
wilderness full of indians and wild beasts,
which was once a part of the Mississippi
Territory.
Grandfathers who
had served in the American Revolution received Bounty Lands in South
Carolina and Georgia, and then migrated into Alabama about 1820.
Mom's grandpa Peter Bozeman was captured at the Fall of Charleston
along with Dad's grandpa George Little. It is written in the South
Carolina Roster. They received land and a small pension for
their services and later began to migrate away from the indian
unrest of the east coast. They had resided amongst many famous
indian names, like Guist, McIntosh, McGillvary,McQueen, Rogers,
Weatherford, mostly marrying into the Creek tribe, except for the
Cherokee George Guess who was known as Sequoyah of TN. Pickett's
History of the Creeks tell us much about those many families and how
Chief Red Eagle, brother of Catherine, was born in Coosada, which we
drive thru now nearly every week.
Dad said his mom
was half indian and that my mom was too. Nothing on paper as
proof; just the many wonderful stories passed along that keep us
believing. We have to remember that the Cherokee of the East Coast,
while some stood their ground and kept their reservation, some fled
southwest. The Carter family were tall, copper skinned, large
featured, beautiful people. Grandpa Cecil Carter's Aunt Letitia
joined the indian rolls of Oklahoma. His sister Carrie married
a Choctaw and they went to Oklahoma about 1930. Cousin Clyde
Stephens wrote of our grandpa marrying a full blood Cherokee maiden
in the 1700s and coming to Alabama and some of the pictures are
overwhelming. Her Anderson family of the 1700s were listed as
full blood on the LDS page when I searched them a few years
ago.
I have a large
collection of images that I paid for in my subscriptions, yet now
that ancestry is buying up so many genealogy groups, I hope that all
of the work is not lost in the future.
Many of
the books are online in the google library and the LDS library to
read, copy, and share.
usgenweb.com is a
free search of many old records in the archives which will amaze
you.
It has each state
listed and I did upload a lot of my work to them. all free to
see
The Parkers came
through New York Indian Country and the Teffts in Rhode Island
history with King Phillip,with a great family migration outwest,
where our Dr. Parker is found in the Iowa Territory history of early
settlers.
The Cochrans and
Coonfields first settled in Pennsylvania 1700s. Alexander
married Sarah Adams; was she kin to a
president?
They met up and
married with the Longs, Hendersons, Sturgeons, Tracy, Clark,
families and migrated into the Ohio military lands and Kentucky
after Daniel Boone had checked them out. A Squire Boone lived
nearby on the KY census.
So much left to
explore, maybe find gold. And they tried and moved
on.
So many stories
to tell. So few left to share them.
Some paid cash
for land; some took the homestead option. Jacob Cochran was
the first homesteader of Hill City, Graham, Kansas, where he
is buried. John Little's homestead was in
Arkansas.
The Bozeman
plantation of Hope Hull in Montgomery was large and extended close
to Maxwell AFB including the Memorial Cemetery off Bozeman Drive, at
Simmons Road. Uncle Robert Bozeman started this as a family
cemetery managed by his nephew Eugene Johnson. The majority of
mama's family is buried there, including my great granny Lorena
Bozeman McClain and her many children.
We met up with a
group of Bozeman and Gibsons in south montgomery at Dublin's Hills
Chapel Church to locate Lorena's grandpa Peter Edwards grave.
He had served in the civil war and this was quite an emotional
experience as we also found the grave of Lorena's indian mother near
Peter. They had home made tombstones which were quite
lovely. All hidden in an old
family graveplot
behind the church in the woods.
Nobody knew until
that day that we are all related to the one man from the American
Revolution, Peter and many began to join the DAR. His son
William Henry had a large family in Hope Hull who remained and
multiplied and his niece Lacy married a Thomas Randolph Carter, who
purchased a piece of the property after Henry died in 1847. After
his wife and several babies died in an epidemic he went to war and
was found sick in a Virginia hospital where he met his second bride
Mary Josephine Herreferd and thus began the Brooks - Cooper lineage.
Mary's daughter married a Cooper and had Mamaw who married a Brooks.
A Brooks grandson found the cemetery at Hope Hull and wrote an
article of its neglect in the Alabama Cemetery Preservation.com and
it's history, which is quite remarkable. thanks
Butch!

Researching one's family tree is a long process
and only the ones close to your heart and in your life can
be verified in the beginning.
Browsing through the
many other family trees on the internet we can find
thousands of new cousins, and thankfully there are many
census records, cemetery records, etc. available to verify
those.
Some may not be verified and need further
research. I have ordered a few death certificates, browsed
through boxes of our old family photos with names and dates
on them, cards, letters, and notebooks, to put this
together, yet am quite certain there are still many
corrections and additions to come.
Dozens of
new cousins have emailed me with some detail about their
connection to my lineage and it's been wonderful getting to
know you all. Some want me to show them their indian blood
which is impossible, I only know my own. I know that my dad
was one quarter Cherokee and his sister calls her son Regal
Eagle and my mom's great great grandpa Stephens married a
full blood Cherokee in SC before his journey to the Dublin /
Ramer area where I have visited a few times to do my
research. Her great great grandmother Nancy Anderson has two
grandmothers from Cherokee blood and maybe more.
Both
of my parents had Cherokee blood but it is highly possible
there was some other native american blood in their lineage.
Many of my mother's ancestors lived among the Creeks in the
1700s and my father's lineage was in Kentucky 1800 where
many tribes had migrated, yet soon after, they all began to
migrate to Iowa Territory and Indiana, ending up in Arkansas
and Oklahoma.
it's been said that my dad's great
grandfather John Wright Little refused an indian land
allotment however he did uproot his family from their
Kentucky roots to migrate to a homestead in Arkansas and his
descendants ended up in Alabama.
When I was
looking into my husband's line I was told that his mom's
grandmother Partridge was an indian from Georgia and I did
find her families on census there before they all moved into
Elmore County.

Native
Americans of South Carolina VERY IMPORTANT FIND: 1719 South
Carolina Assembly in determining who should be "indian" for
tax purposes (Indian slaves were adjudged at a lower tax rate
than negro slaves..so the idea is to get as much tax as
possible...remember, censuses were also intended to assess the
taxable citizens in any given area, so race was determined by
what the census enumerator felt that the person should be
taxed as.) The Act passed that year stated "And for preventing
all doubts and scruples that may arise what ought to be rated
on mustees, mulattoes, etc. all such slaves not entirely
Indian should be accounted as negro." Inference: persons of
Indian blood less than full-blood would be legally documented
as "negro". It is apparent that by the time of the founding of
Fort Christana at the NC/VA border, a large segment of the
Siouan/Tuscarora/Algonquin Indians which were settled there
and put to work as miners, were already mixed with white and
Portuguese blood. By the time of the closing of the Fort, and
the migrating of these Indian mixed-bloods to the shores of
the Pamunkey River at around 1720, many of the families were
so mixed and acculturated, that they were no longer legally or
socially regarded as "Indian"....of course, they still had a
high degree of Indian blood, and a strong Indian identity, but
for the most part they went about their lives much like their
white neighbors, farming, raising cattle, acquiring and
titles, etc.
By the 1750's
when these Christian, English-speaking, literate, industrious,
mixed-blood families began to spread to southern NC and
northern SC, those white colonists didn't know what to do with
these people. Usually when they 'toed-the-line' socially,
financially, and legally, these is little documentation to
distinguish them from their white neighbors... its only when
someone crosses the line that their is some legal case, tax
dispute, violent confrontation, etc., etc., which of course
documents these peoples' ancestry in the darkest possible
light.
The single most important point here is
this.......it wasn't the "mixed-blood" factor that held these
people together as separate communities (there are many
families of mixed black/white ancestry or white/Indian
ancestry that melted into the larger white or black
population) ... it wasn't the Portuguese ancestry that held
these people together as separate communities (many of the
families did not claim Portuguese ancestry, and the majority
did not claim it as their first choice of racial
identity)...it was the Indian ancestry that was the identity
and motivating factor which caused them to live separately
from their white and black neighbors.

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 Elizabeth
"Sallie" Carter Cooper, 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:

A
small beginning of my genealogy: Marengo County was created
by the Alabama Territorial legislature on 1818 Feb. 6, from
land acquired from the Choctaw Indians by the treaty of 1816
Oct.24. The name of the county was suggested by Judge Abner
Lipscombe, and was given as a compliment to the first white
settlers, expatriated French citizens and commemorative of
Napoleon's great victory at Marengo over the Austrian armies
on 1800 June 14.Marengo County is situated in the west-central
part of the state.It is bordered by Hale, Greene, Perry,
Dallas, Wilcox, Clarke, Choctaw,Sumter.
George Grauer
born 1801 Germany married Sophia Porter born 1801 North
Carolina and migrated into Marengo County Alabama. Perhaps
with a group of brothers and sisters, they all seemed to have
settled closely together, even with Sophia's father Mark
Porter and his families.
Sophia's daughter Elizabeth
was born in 1827 Alabama and she married James Westbrook in
Marengo County, a son of Moses.
The Westbrook families
were also from 1700s North Carolina and may connect to a
Richard Westbrook who served in the N C Militia in
1754.
It appears that Elizabeth Westbrook was a widow
with one son, William, on the 1850 census so she must have
been pregnant with George Grauer Westbrook that year. In 1879
her son George married Marsella Braswell, who's families were
also early settlers of Marengo County; her mother was Mary
Glass, also another family of early settlers. Mary's mother
was Hannah Holt, a daughter of Cader Holt, a big plantation
owner who was buying land in Marengo in the 1820s. The others
mentioned above have land deeds dated 1830.
Elizabeth
Westbrook remained a widow for many years and always took care
of her mother Sophia, who we find together on the 1870 census
when Elizabeth has remarried, to Mr. Lawson and had more
children...Elizabeth's son George and his wife Marcella had
several children, including Clarence Grauer Westbrook in 1879,
who married Carrie Etheridge. Carrie named a son Bruce Garland
Westbrook in 1919 and he married Christine Holley. Christine's
son married Penton, a daughter of Lige Bennett Penton and
Gertrude Jones starting their own legacy in Elmore
County.

Many
of our families were the early pioneers when Alabama first
became a state, after being part of the Mississippi Territory
which was then mostly Choctaw land. South Alabama was Creek
but slowly most tribes were moving westward. Georgia did not
allow plantation owners to employ indians but Alabama did. The
land was cheap and fertile so the migrations began. Most used
Biblical names for their children yet some named them after
popular native americans. Several are recorded in various
county history books and the Pintlala Historical Assn has many
in their webpage whom we are very proud of. As we stand on the
capitol steps and admire the star where Jefferson Davis took
his oath as President of the Confederacy, we can look around
and know that many of our relatives also stood nearby to
witness this wonderful moment. And across the street we can
walk through his home, which had actually been moved from
Ramer, where he resided near our families. Our families were
honored to serve.
In the north
we have a grandpa Cochran married to a Hannah Adams in the
1700s but we do not know if she was connected to the
political, historical Adams families. We have a Stone in 1700 Maryland but
did his daddy sign the Independence. Then our cousin Joshuah
Tefft was killed by King Phillip 1600s. So many possibilities
when we dig a little deeper :)

Brooks
Families of the South. ......Hans Brooke
had three boys and one girl....Henry, Edward, John and Lula
Christine....They settled in Reading PA. The parents died
leaving minor children, and the little girl was
adopted...John, our grandfather, was bound out to a tailor to
learn that trade....He was very unhappy and ran away, arriving
in Columbia TN about 1860 and we find him on the Giles County
1860 census in TN working as a tailor but as John
Brooks...That year he married Roxanna Permilia Smith
She was just
breaking up with her other boyfriend, Doctor Crittendon Smith
and fell in love with John Brooks...John and RP had Walter and
Nora before joining a wagon train to Texas where John, Lula,
Nimrod and Tom were born......
...John died
in 1882 of tuberculosis and is buried in Paris TX. Roxanna
went back to TN to marry Doctor Terry Crittendon Smith. He
actually heard she was widowed and went to Texas to marry her
and bring her back to TN. They lived and died in Sandy Hook,
Tennessee.
Their son John married Annie Clark Ballard
and had only one child, James Edgar Brooks - soon they moved
to Montgomery Alabama.
The Smith and Ballard families
came out of North Carolina about 1800 migrating into
Tennessee's Indian Territory.
Permilia named her first
son Walter Brooks, and this author finds no Walter in the
lineage,so why use this name? and another son JOHN Edwin but
the census looks like his middle initial was H., and JOHN
married Annie Clark Ballard in TN and they moved to Alabama
being transferred with the railroad and then lived on Adams
Avenue near the train station. Annie had only one child, James
Edgar Brooks, who became a bookkeeper with the State, and
later married Susie Mae Cooper who soon named her own son
James Edgar Brooks Jr., a daughter Christine . Susie was the
daughter of Sarah Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper of
Chambers County AL.
Annie's photo shows dark black hair
and coal black eyes. Annie's parents were both born in
Tennessee, James Calvin Ballard and Willie Eudora Craig but
their ancestors migrated from the Carolinas. "Dora's" mother
was Rebecca Caroline Pennington and she married William Craig
in 1860. Rebecca's mother was only known as "Gracy" who
married William Pennington, and his mother was only known as
"Kezziah" born about 1750 in South Carolina.
Her mother
was Caroline Bond, daughter of a John Baptist Bond of North
Carolina. Parents of Caroline Bond ( who married 3 times? )
were John Baptist Bond and Kitty Stone. Many researchers are
looking into the Stone name as being of Cherokee
Blood.
In Georgia was Joseph Baxley born 1815 married
to Mary Evans and making their way into Alabama. Their son
James married Louisa Miranda Holt and they resided in
"Holtville" in Elmore County AL. Also in Elmore County was L.
W. Hood who married their daughter Ella Olivia Baxley. Ella's
daughter Bessie married a Milton Elijah Thornton in Elmore
County. Elijah's parents also came out of Georgia, Mary
Angeline Partridge amd George Thornton. Elijah's daughter Mary
Ella married James Brooks. Mary Ella's granddaughter married
Westbrook. In the WAR a Colonel Thomas Carter and Captain
John Carter with their many children migrated from SC to
Talladega, AL and even named their sons after each other.
Those sons and grandsons served in the Civil War and John's
son, Thomas Randolph Carter went to Montgomery where he
married Lacy Jane Bozeman.Her dad Jesse and his siblings had
inherited Peter's estate, so as they died off, Thomas made a
big land purchase off Henry's share in 1848. So when you look
at the monuments of Lacy and Thomas, know that you are
standing on the old plantation of Peter Bozeman, in lands
formerly owned by the Creeks. Now step back and study the
facts and read the clues between the lines. Study those who
lived in indian territories and learned from them, survived
thanks to them. Study the ladies they married and if they had
a last name; most did not.

Marriage into the Westbrook family, now there are many new
names to study like Grauer, Glass, Holt, Braswell, Penton,
Jones, Holly. Daddy, 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....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..Studying
Marengo County finding Elizabeth Grauer Westbrook in
1850.

Charles McClain (1888

Death Certificate - his daughter Alice married
Cecil Earl Fenn Carter, the son of Anna Stone. Charlie
raised the children of Alice and Cecil when they died by
1939. Charlie was the son of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah
Marion McClain. Census records show the date of birth of
Charlie was 1886 and all other records seem to differ
because his wife was not very educated. Few could read or
write back then. His funeral memorial booklet shows the
names of his parents, wife, and many children. Served in WWI
but has no headstone on his grave at Dublin Church of

Edward, son of John Thomas (86

My
grandpa Cochran had a grandma Catherine Weatherford,in VA, a
daughter of Charles, but Charles was in Alabama when she got
married in 1811 with his son William (Red Eagle). Well my
mom's family was here in 1830 by John and two Daniel McQueens,
one married to a Rachel Lewis and here I was researching the
possibility that one of Peter Bozemans daughter may have wed a
Benjamin Lewis, who had owned the land in 1822, which later
became the property of Peter and his heirs, including Lacy's
husband Thomas Carter. Edmond Lewis and Benjamin had many
descendants all around them. Lucy Bozeman Campbell had a
daughter Martha who may be the one who married Mathew Stokes
who also owned a piece of this land at one time. Lacy's
daughter married a Calloway. Jesse Bozemans son married a
Flinn, who's family worked for McGee. They all married into
the Sellers, Anderson, Dillard, Gibson, Goodson, Hill,
McClain, Stephens, Stacy, Broadway , Fenn, Stone,
Carter,families, from Pintlala into Ramer and Pine Level, they
farmed and struggled to survive, while defending their country
in every war that arised. Several of these names were Justices
of the Peace or attorneys as we see their signatures on many
documents. One signature was Nathaniel Williams and my parents
had seen Hank as a young one playing guitar on his porch. Some
came from Chambers County and Talladega, while some went back.
St. Clair county was quite popular, as was Marengo county.
Then I found the Thorntons and Hood families in Elmore county
with Holt and Baxley. All of these soon met the Brooks
families who came out of Tennessee. And the Lee and Cooper
families were buying up land in Creek country of Chambers,
while one McQueen married a Creek and Mr. Thornton had married
an indian Miss Partridge in Georgia before migrating into
Elmore. Miller, Parker, Little, Douglass, Handley, Coonfield,
Young, Wright, Weatherford, into Kentucky about 1800 soon went
west, becoming a part of the Cochran heritage. I have recently
noticed that the eldest Alexander Cochran in PA who served in
the Am. Rev War, has a daughter listed in the DAR, but they
have added inserts that he may not be her dad, so family
history is always a fun mystery. I see about 20 of our
grandfathers listed on the DAR webpage, but may not ever have
enough paperwork to prove my direct lineage. But I have joined
thru my grandma Bozeman's line. When I found her family on the
1830 and 1840 census of Montgomery County, AL, and studied the
many families and neighbors around them, I realized that many
of these intermarried and created our great city. They also
spread around each of the counties nearby, but we have to keep
in mind that most of the land was creek nation and tiny
counties were just beginning to form. The train station
downtown is along the river, and there are currently many
historical markers that this was once an indian village. I am
finding our ancestors in many Early History or Pioneers books
of various states and it makes me very proud.

family tree is gigantic and still blossoming. From TN

had previously resided in TX for a short time due to
his TB. Our northern ancestors were granted lands and
migrated west, with the Cochrans, Millers, Little,
Wright, Weatherford, Ross, and the Coonfields of KY
are found in the Indiana history books. Some had more
than one wife, or had children everywhere they
traveled; I have found the Weatherfords used the same
names repeatedly for the children of each
wife....weird.....but many others used Biblical names
repeatedly so be careful to watch those birthdates.
They had many skills of survival, traveled to find
work, then learned their way into politics and are
mentioned in many books of early pioneers. So much to
be proud of. Tracking their roots may be hard, many
could not read nor write, so had to rely on certain
others to write and spell for them so do not give up
when stumbling over an error. That error may be a
CLUE!!! Then after the Trail of Tears the census
takers did not acknowledge any native american,
therefore, writing them down as black or white,
depending on which family they married. Another clue!!
Research and have an open mind.

developing itself from the Mississippi Territory and
forming new counties. The Carters were in Talladega
and it became a county later. Just like Elmore
county was later formed after the civil war from
parts of Montgomery and Autauga counties and the
Montgomery line extended further and further into

Jonas
married Betsy Douglass in 1798 Union County
South Carolina and his brother John and their
father George Little migrated to Barren Kentucky
to a place called Vienna, later moving to the
Green River area in Calhoun, McLean County,
which was formed from part of Ohio County, then
the area was called Daviess County. The Little
Campground is what the area was called. Mary
Handley's brother Captain John Handley had
previously surveyed this area and invited them
to join him at Vienna, offering his sisters Mary
and Rachel several acres of land and John soon
became a Legislator. Parents of the Handleys
were Martha Mason and George Handley of Ireland,
and Martha's mother was Martha Worthington and
we see many of their family names in
Kentucky.
Jonas Little was born in 1780
in Newberry, Union, SC to Scottish parents Mary
and George Little and his mother died a few
years after his birth.
About 1802 his
father married his mother in law, Mary Handley
Douglass who was also widowed. Her husband
Alexander Douglass died on a survey trip to
Kentucky with Mary's brother John Handley.
Mary's other two daughters married Hunt and
Minton.
George had daughters who married
Humphrey, Hunt, Spray, and they all moved the
entire clan to Kentucky, as found on the 1810
and 1820 census records along with several other
names from Newberry who accompanied them on this
journey.
John Little eventually moved to
Tennessee, then Texas, followed by a son of
Jonas, named Dr. Hiram Little, a doctor from the
Civil War. Another Hiram Little served in the
Battle at the Alamo but may have been the son of
John or one of the other Littles found in 1790
Union SC.
The sons of Jonas were very
successful men, masons, businessmen. Wesley
owned a hotel but was shot in the back when he
called a man a liar. Douglass made plows and
wagons in his own shop, but soon became an
attorney and Judge. Hiram was a Mason and a
Physician/ Surgeon in the Civil War. Hiram and
Douglass both married daughters of Katherine
Weatherford Wright, daughter of Charles and
possibly grand-daughter of Mary Half Blood. We
do know that Douglass named a son Lucius
Powhatan Little, so there is some indication to
their native blood.
1790 indicates
another Jonas Little who might have been the
father of George Little or a brother, and a John
and a Joseph who must be all kin. When Captain
George Little arrived in Kentucky in 1802, he
encountered many popular families whom others
are researching.

Arrow Roots
Broken
Arrow is a city located in the northeastern part of
the U.S. state of Oklahoma, primarily in Tulsa
County.Our Cochrans and Coonfields landed in
Pennsylvania and migrated south into Ohio and KY.Many
relatives lived in this area due to their indian
heritage. Grandpa John Little refused indian land
offers, according to Aunt Bernice, but chose a
homestead on a mountain, Big Sandy, in Arkansas. His
grandchild Dorline joined the Pocahontas club. His
family started in SC then went to KY in 1802 where his
great grandpa George Little then married his sons
mother in law Mary Handley Thompson. Many have that
mixed up. George had ten kids with his first wife, but
he and second wife were too OLD to have kids.
Coonfields left KY for Indiana in 1824 history books
of IN. Grandma Miller-Cochran is in the book of VA and
mentions her son Frank.James Millers wife Mary Parkers
dad Dr. Parker came from NY indian territory, into
Ohio, then Michigan indian territory, on to Iowa..His
mom Sara Tefft also written about in Rhode Island
history with King Phillip!. Mom's family was in Wagon
Tracks by Fenn and the Sketches of Bozeman by
Woodruff, also the Hope Hull/Pintlala history assn.
mentions several more. Carters were everywhere!!!Index
of Carters on the 15 Cherokee rolls and explanation of
the rolls, to include the 13 Carters on the "Trail of
Tears." Of the 15 rolls, Carters were found on all of
the rolls with the exception of 3. Our
family history research has been so fascinating, just
knowing they are also found in BOOKS!!..plus two go
back to the first Mayflower voyage. moms's cousin
Norma has joined the mayflower society, we have joined
the DAR and the sons of the Confederacy. I have also
found usgenweb has a ton of their archived history

So
far I have two ancestors on the Mayflower, the
original Pilgrims, who began to create our
country, planting seeds, building shelters,
churches, and of course recording tithings and
taxes, long before they worked along with the
founding fathers, yes they were there too, all
together, such a fascinating history for us to
realize we are a part of. We are a part of the
first 13 colonies, their joys and sorrows,
territories, statehood, battle after battle, we
were there. Family history is so awesome when
one learns when and where and how. Follow your
path and enjoy every moment.

he also served in ww1, had two sisters who
died before he was born, could not read nor write and was
never certain of his age, a small short type of guy, with
lazy eye, was very spiritual. His nose is very much like the
famous creek chief calvin mcghee but i find no mcghee in my

our GG great grandfather Henry Bozeman lived
amongst some of the most influential people of the county
but he is never mentioned in the history books....his land
was divided and sold when he passed away in 1847 and a
Thomas Carter bought a portion which we can still see and
visit the family cemetery as Tom had married Henry's niece
Lacy Bozeman, the daughter of Jesse and possibly Lucy
Anderson...this is also the only place where uncle Jesse had
his middle initial M....so he could have been named jesse
mordecai after his grandpa......also note that peter has the
family....he has moved near the Anderson family......he is
closer to Lavinia Jane Sellers Anderson......also our
family

proof of mcclain parentage gave me something

heirs (173

the Bozeman heirs name Lucy and Sterling
Campbell but look closely.....is it LACY??? and of course it
mentions our grandpa HENRY and then the minor heirs of meedy
who resided with ellen and vincent joiner who did not remain
in montgomery county.this does not include the third
daughter of peter so she may not have survived the journey
to alabama. but do take note of the CAMPBELL surname as it
begins to appear quite often in the next several years of
our family; perhaps cousins marrying cousins.....or
not.. |

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.

John,
Thomas and Henry, perhaps a Benjamin Carter found in 1700
North Carolina, received Bounty Lands in South Carolina for
serving in the American Revolution.
Due to Indian
unrest some migrated beyond those lands and the many tribes
were battling over the territory. Many of these families were
mixed with indian blood but had to protect their families from
the hostiles.
1820 Alabama census shows Thomas Carter
and a John W. Carter with large households and John named a
son Thomas that year, so we can assume the first two were
brothers. These Carters went back and forth across the south
and young Thomas served in the civil war, married a Bozeman
and secondly a Mary.
Cecil Earl Carter's mother Anna
Stone married a Carter about 1905 and his name is not yet
found, but she was widowed and staying with her mother in 1920
Macon GA. Cecil married Emily McClain, daughter of Charles,
and Cecil's niece, Martha married a Henry
McClain.

Round
and round we go from the east coast to the west. Before we had
many grandfathers in the American Revolution, we had those
fighting king phillip in the northeast, those settling in the
1600s into massachusetts and new york indian country and of
course, two that we have discovered on the first mayflower
landing at plymouth, doty and fuller, who's descendants
migrated south. Such a joy following their wagon tracks as
they journeyed through the wilderness making their
contributions to the new country of freedom.
Montgomery
AL itself was an indian village yet became the spot of
Jefferson Davis taking oath as president of the Confederacy
and his home has been moved to be near the capital, where that
took place, on the street where our ancestors went to sell
their crops and served in the war with Davis. A gold star is
still on those capitol steps where he took oath. This Dexter
avenue was dirt at that time, full of horses and buggies, then
brick for many years, yet paved around 1970.
Blessed
with the many contacts and emails to further my journey of
family research, many of us have joined the mayflower society,
the daughters of the revolution and our sons of the
confederacy, thanks to all who led me, to all who have passed
on, and here is hope that our loved ones will continue on this
path as our elders would have appreciated.
