Land Patent Bogue Chitto Neshoba Territory First Mississippi Families

Under this burry pix of a picture, find the link to read the treaty terms of what the fed recognition of Choctaw was in treaty terms  in 1902.




This is a screenshot from the section explaining the land patent recognition, one of two ways to be recognized as Choctaw and the other way was full blood status.  


Isom Pounds, former indenture from Cheraw, SC to Cheraw, MS had to receive land grants  and then sell to afford to purchase the 1835 land purchases in the pictures below.  I am trying to find his original land which had to be granted.



Mulatto's who were bound out as indentured were freed by law at 21 (said Mulatto law read in the historical section of Georgetown District of SC).

Below is Isom Johnson Pounds, Jr and two grand daughters, also the Cooper Roll cousin for whom the 1855 rolls are named.  The Coopers of the Rolls had to go to court to be reinstated for lost rolls.  On those rolls are family names, the names of Winny, Isom, Mack, Jesse all keep getting repeated in many generations of many families moving over in groups from SC.  The guide for many families was "Choctaw Bill Williams".  Benjamin Richardson and wife Winny came over from Georgetown District, SC with "passports".
