Hi Luckie!

NOBLEHORSE is an English translation of my Shawnee (with roots in Oklahoma stretching back to Indiana through Kansas) name. I was born with the surname PAYNE, but officially took NOBLEHORSE as my surname 25 years ago.

Like many Americans I'm quite a mixture... Native and African American roots mixed with European... My grandfather, Samuel PAYNE, taught school in Luverne, Alabama from the 1890s through the 1900s. His mother, Julia Katherine DANIEL(S) died in Rutledge, Alabama in 1892. Tracing her back further has proved difficult...

Her second husband Oliver SEARS survived into the early 1900s and remarried - but I've been unable to find out what happened to him. Julia and Oliver had another son I believe - who of course would have been my grand-uncle...

Douglas must admit both NOBLEHORSE & DANIELS caught my attention!

My Daniels were from KY & OH - although I believe they had "southern roots".

Noblehorse?! Are you Creek?

Luckie.

Researching my g-grandmother Julia Jude Daniels in Crenshaw County, AL - as well as any information about her second husband, Oliver Clancy or Oliver Sears...

Hi,

My g-g grandfather, John Pickney Black hailed from Pickens County, AL. He left AL sometime in the late 1830's to head to TX. No members of our family have been able to locate exactly who his parents were. It is family lore that he was orphaned very young, so may have grown up in the household of a relative or neighbor. If anyone has any information about a family or families with the surname of Black in Pickens County in the 1830/1840 time frame, I'd love to hear from you!

Hi all;
Search many a surname in northern Alabama Counties of Jackson, Madison, Limestone, Lawrence, CheroKee,Colbert and the southern Tennessee counties of Franklin, Lincoln (where I presently live), Giles, Lawrence and Wayne. Hope to hear from you and have gainful for all discussions and recussions of old information.
