1 ear Mr. Williams :
I am serry I was not in when you came by, however I have had time to go over my references and can relay more to you now in writing.
I did go to Washington D. C. and found some additional information about Pooshemataha, Pushmataha (Apushim-alhtaha, ?the sapling is ready, or finished, for him*- Halbert) In Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico Edited by Frederick Webb Hodge Pt.V.1 Pushmataha Choctaw ef unknown ancestry, borr: on the E. Bank of Noxuba Cr* in Noxubee Co., Miss 1761*5 died at Washington D* C# Dec* 2h$ 1821* before he was 20 years of age he distinguished himself in a expedition against the Osage, w. of the Mississippi*
Moved to Texas, then Spanish Territory. War of lf!2 was in the Pensacola campaign, signed treaties of Nov* 1^, 180?: Oct 2li, l$l6j and Oct. 18 1820*
Died of the croup at 60 years of a^e*
He was not distinguished by ancestry, he was always poor, brave and generous, Pushmataha had remarked he had two wives, the Indian custom of a plurality of wives.
The chief had five children. His oldest son died at the age of 21. The others were younw at the tine of the deccane of their father*
