These records came from the National Archives and the list was posted in the newspaper in Biloxi/Gulfport, Mississippi in November of 1935. Attempts have been made to establish just what this Society is, but to date we have not obtained that information.
The information for these pages was contributed by Jackie Matte, author of They Say the Wind is Red , Pat Creel-Kendrick, and Dusty. We thank them for allowing us to provide our readers with this valuable Choctaw history.

Collection:
The “Society of Mississippi Choctaws” was not an official office of the Choctaw Nation or the predecessors to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. In fact, it was the law firm of T. B. Crews and H. J. Cantwell of St. Louis, MO (with offices in Washington D.C.) offering to “contract” with Mississippi Choctaw to put forth “Article 14” claims from the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek of 1830. This effort coincided with the hope of reopening the Choctaw rolls for adding additional Mississippi Choctaw to the enrollment during the 63rd United States Congress 1913-1915. A similar scheme was also run by the name “Texas-Oklahoma Investment Co.” However, both efforts were ultimately unsuccessful in adding to the rolls.

Thanks, Ronald for the well-informed response.
Luke Ward Conerly is my Great Great Great Grandfather and a founding member of the Society! I learned these are descendants of the Choctaw that refused to migrate to Oklahoma!! Great to be a part of such a strong group of people❤️!
Halito. My great grandmother was Alice Mae Woodard and she married Anderson Cuevas, grandson of Zeno Cuevas. I believe she had a brother possibly named Nick Blackwell. They all lived around Hancock and Harrison counties. I have plenty of info from his side, but none from hers. Any help is appreciated.
My great great grandmother is Ada Lee Conely Hamiter. My email is spiritlove@verizon.net
