Was there a Chickasaw family with Brown as a surname?ģ) Study the "by Blood" families from the same community to see if they have ancestors - parents called "Brown". If that is your question, then I suggest the following:ġ) You may want to study the slave schedules (census) of 1860 for Chickasaw communities to see if there was a person called Brown who was one of the slave holders.Ģ) Also study the community in the region where the family lived. I assume that you are asking a question about the man Brown, and possibly who he may have been, is that correct? You are correct about the Brown as owner and father of the child. All of this is fascinating, but so much is missing. It is not clear if he was free, or owned by whites. Her mother Josie Fields, was the daughter of Elmira Fields who was owned by some Chocktaw Indians but her father Bill Fields was not owned by Native Americans. I'm sure there is some significance to this, but I have no idea what it is.īoth my grandmother's mother's family and father's family were slavesd of Native Americans. Not only was every single Mulatto listed as a fugitive, but not one of the black slaves were listed as fugitives. While trying to figure this out, I also found Jackson Kemp's slave schedule from 1860 and noted the large number of mulatto slaves and that every single Mulatto slave listed was also listed as a runaway. So it i snot know whether or not there was really a Louis Kemp who owned Jackson Kemp who was married to Peggy and fathered her children, or if a name was just given for the records and the father was actually Jackson Kemp himself. Family history indicates that all of Peggy's children were actually by the man who owned her. His mother Peggy was listed as a widow so Louis Kemp was already dead. Her Grandfather was Louis Kemp, who was listed as a slave as Jackson Kemp in the 1902 Dawes Enrollment packet for my great-grandfather Dave Kemp and his Mother Peggy Kemp and siblings. I have been researching this myself as my maternal grandmother was a Kemp.
