Ome! Thanks for watching!

Yes, the Choctaws raised up around $170, which it would be equivalent to $5,000 in today's money. What is so really awesome is that, during the time of covid and the Navajo Nation was struck hard with the sickness, and perishing most of the tribal members, The Irish people turned around and helped the Navajo Nation as well.

Right, lol 😂

Sure, Love history!

Hey you are welcome.

Not that I am aware of. Contact the Choctaw Health Clinic in Talihina, OK and they should be able to give you the address.

@@mercedithcompala8148 I know not too far from the Nail crossing, just across the Blue River from the Nail's crossing stage stand was the Fort Mcculloch. I believe the Nails and Folsom grave is near there as well.

@@hizprezhistorydestination2024 oh I am referring to is in the Gilmore area.I will get back to you.

You are very welcome.

You maybe kin to my wife. Her family lineage is a Bohanon. Her Great Grandmother was Isabell Bohanon before marring into a Johnico. She is originally from Talihina.

@@hizprezhistorydestination2024 Yes Your wife descends from Samuel Bohanon the preacher. My line is his half brother Ellis Bohanan. They shared the same father William Bohanan Jr. 2 sisters Betsey Anderson and Phoebe Anderson were married to William Bohanan Jr. Phoebe was Samuel Bohanan's mother. Ellis mother was Betsey Anderson. Phoebe and Betsey were daughters of Daniel Anderson and Jenny Baptiste/Battiest. Most Bohanan's in the Sardis area and cemetery is my line. We're part of a big big family of William Bohannon Sr and Choctaw wife. Their kids John, Joshua, Silas, William Bohanan Jr, Mary Anderson Bohanon and Susan Bohannon Spring. A lot of the cousins work at the Choctaw Nation or did.

@@dmfields42 Well this is pretty awesome. I would have to tell my wife about this. Yeah, my wife and I was looking into her Bohanon side family tree and yes, it is huge. We both went to Mississippi last year and a friend of mine new where the section of the Bohanon family land was located. In which it was just a few miles northwest corner of Starkville, MS before removing from the homelands during the removal. And Springs, yes, I know a Spring who actually works at the Choctaw Cultural Center and his name is Ryan Spring. His dad is Gary Spring who now resides in Talihina. They are many Spring family that resides in Hugo, OK as well that I believe to be in the same lineage as well. I believe my wife's family through Samuel and Thomas Bohanon are buried at the Old Bohanon Cemetery near Whitesboro, OK.

Yes, but it was just a half mile south from this site. And Yes, I totally agree.

You are very welcome!

Oh really!? Well, I was born at the Indian Memorial Hospital in Lawton.

The Choctaws did had plans to try and renovate it, but it failed through, some environmental issues.

You are very welcome

Lol 😂

Yes! I would highly recommend it. I surely love Moundville.

Yes! This is a very interesting story and history about these 2 individuals. Always good to learn some good history. Thank you so much for watching. 👍

Yes! The Trail of Tears as we known as the Indian Removal Act which was passed within the Congress in the U.S. and which was signed by no other than President Andrew Jackson. Jackson and his vice president Martin Van Buren pushed in the Indian Removal Act, in which President Thomas Jefferson who first declared the Removal Act, but wasn't pushed into congress, for the Choctaws to give up their homelands in Mississippi. On September 27, 1830, The Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty was signed over to the United Stated for all the Choctaws in Mississippi to remove to the new lands of the Indian Territory of what we now called, Oklahoma. Over 28,000 Choctaws with children and elders, moved westward, leaving their homes and few of their belongings back as they trek on their long journey in the long winter months. During arrival, only over 10,000 Choctaws had arrived in the new lands as some perished during the long walk on the Trail of Tears. The name Trail of Tears came from a Choctaw who was reported by a reporter in Little Rock, AR hearing him saying, " As we all came upon a Trail of Tears and Death." But a few Choctaws, turned back into Mississippi, to hid in the woods and swamps. As government found the hidden Choctaws, they started to adapt into the laws of the new state of Mississippi. In 1945, the Choctaws in Mississippi became the federally recognized tribe in the U.S. as they now reside in the reservations. The Choctaws in Oklahoma is now the 3rd largest tribe in the U.S. as we now have over 200,000 tribal members that lives in the Choctaw reservation of Oklahoma and outside of the boundary as well.

Will you share these stories with me as I am direct descendant of folsoms

@@purpletears__ yes, my dad lived in Stigler Oklahoma, going to high school. Lived around the corner from the family. He ran with the two brothers. His favorite story was of him and one Folsom boy, use to stand outside,between that little hamburger joint and the bank and watch the Osage boys drive by in their new cars. Which they'd laugh 'was a different one '..each time 😅.one of the Folsom buddies was at my dad's funeral.
