Hi Rooters

Sit back while I tell you my tale. I am working on some very early families who married into the Chickasaw,Cherokee & Choctaw Nations in the late 1700's and early 1800's.

John B (Basset?)MOORE b 1782 La m Delilah LOVE MITCHELL they had several children before John d in 1838, again contact me.

Colbert MOORE b 1803 and brother to Christopher, Sarah Ann and probably John and possibly Annie. Colbert m Fraces Catherine BAILEY (see above) 1828. They had several children- contact me. Colbert was listed as a interpreter for the Chickasaws.

Sarah Ann MOORE b LA m Henry LOVE had several children. I have also found another marriage record for Henry to Elizabeth MEEZELL 1809 in Ark Co Annie MOORE b 1833 Piegon Roost Ms m John SMALLWOOD bro of Choctaw Chief SMALLWOOD
