The Choctaw Riddle's

The Riddle Family

William Riddle appears first in records on a census of the Spanish Territory in 1781 in the Mobile area. He appears next in records of the Choctaw Trading house as an I.C. or Indian countryman until his estate is mentioned in 1818. His Choctaw wife was Caty, a sister to the Choctaw Chief Mushulatubbee. Where William Riddle emigrated from is not known, but he may be related to the Riddle’s in the Virginia and North Carolina area, some of whom had known Tory sympathies. Caty was from the Okla Apetat district of the Choctaw nation, and resided in what is now Sumter County, Alabama.

William and Caty had the following children, Mary, born before 1793, Susan born in or about 1793, Lucinda, date of birth unknown, born after 1793, Joseph, likely born around 1800-1804, John W., born 1/1/1809, and William, born in 1811. After William’s death, Caty married John Jones, Sr. He apparently was close to the two younger boys, as he gave them property in what is now Sumter Co., Alabama, but neglected to give Joseph any property. The Armstrong Rolls shows Caty’s second husband’s residence 5 miles from the factory, near Demopolis. It also indicates that Susan lived on the Tombigbee, 7 miles from Demopolis, Joseph lived on the Tombigbee, Mary (or her husband), lived on the Tombigbee, on land belonging to Thomas Lewis.

From a testimony made by Tandy Walker in 1875, we have the following information about the heirs of William Riddle, (erroneously referred to as John Riddle).

The Choctaw Nation

Skullyville, C. N.

July 21st A.D. 1875 On this day personally appears before me, William B. Pitchlynn , one of the Commisioners of the Court of Claims for Mosholatubbe District of the Choctaw Nation, under and by the virtue of an act of the General Council of the Choctaw Nation passed Nov. 6th, A.D. 1872, creating a court of claims. {?unreadalbe abbreviation} Tandy Walker who being duly sworn deposes and says that he verily believes that he, for himself, and others above and hereafter to be mentioned have a just and equitable claim on the Choctaw Nation for the value of fifty horses abandoned at the time of emigration in the old Choctaw Nation in Sumpter County, State of Alabama. That he claims as one of the heirs of John Riddle, Snr- his grandfather who was a Choctaw by marriage (birth lined through) and resided in the said county and state of Bodka Creek that it (next large portion of sentence unreadable on copy) of a large stock of horses that these horses continued in possession of his heirs until the emigration of said heirs from that country to the Choctaw Nation, West. That the number of horses owned by said John Riddle at or about the time of his death, previous to the treaty of 1830 was estimated to be on or about three hundred that by depredation this stock had been reduced to on (lined through) or about fifty head which number deponent verily believes were left and abandoned that the said horses were worth at lest one thousand dollars being an average price of twenty dollars each that de does not believe that any ( and again, large portion of the copy is dark and unreadable, about 3-4 lines), that his grandfather John Riddle Snr, (not readable next few words, think it says left the following heirs or children, but the copy is too black to read) viz: Joseph, John, and William, Mary, Susan, and Lucinda. Lucinda died leaving no heirs. Mary died leaving claimant and deponent and Mary Blackburn, born Walker. Susan died leaving heirs Catherine Wall, Margerite Moncrief, and Sarah Trahan dec'd and Jinsey Folsom dec'd. Joseph Riddle died and left heirs Moses Riddle, Jesse Riddle and Betty Wall. John Riddle Jr. died and left heirs George William and Douglas and Martha Edmonds, Sarah Cooper and Margaret Johnson dec'd. Signed by Tandy Walker.

Below that is Sworn and subscribed to before me, this 21st day of July A.D. 1875 signed William B. Pitchlynn, one of the commissioners of the Court of Claims for Mosholatubbe District of the C.N.

Another testimony follows, for the same date, can not read most of the first part of this copy, but I can pick out a few words, nothing understandable, nor is the testimony portion that is signed legible. (cut off) the part that is readalbe is the last few lines, He thinks there could not have been less than three hundred altogether (horses) John Riddle died before the treaty thinks there were about three hundred head left at the time of the treaty {unreadable word} and two others went at one time to {?} horses their provisions gave out were forced to return these horses had a very wide range don't recollect that John Riddle's heirs ever sold or otherwise disposed of the horses never heard of them having done so they never brought any of these horses to this county.

Mary Riddle, eldest child of William and Caty Riddle.

Mary married John Walker, brother to the blacksmith Tandy Walker written about in many histories of Alabama and the Creek War. From the testimony, it appears that only two of John’s children where the children of Mary Riddle, Tandy and his sister Mary. For this reason, I have removed the other children to an unknown mother.

Descendants of John Walker

John Walker, and his brother Tandy Walker, of renown for his rescue of a White woman from the Creeks, arrived in Mississippi Territory together. Tandy, namesake of his nephew, eventually moved to Texas.

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN3 WALKER (WILLIAM2, TANDY1) was born Abt. 1780, and died 1850 in Skullyville. He married (2) MARY RIDDLE Abt. 1810, daughter of WILLIAM RIDDLE and CATY. She was born Abt. 1792, and died 1848 in Skullyville.

Notes for JOHN WALKER:

The following is what Martini has on John Walker: White resident among the Choctaws was born in 1780, the son of Tandy Walker. He was in the Indian country by 1801, being employed as a weaver at the Chickasaw agency that year. He eventually ended up in the Choctaw Nation, where he married Mary Riddle, and in 1831 was living in Moshulatubbe District. His family then consisted of nine persons, including one male over 16 and three children under 16. There was also one white in the household. On June 13, 1831, he registered to remain in the east, stating that he was a white man with an Indian wife, three children under 10, and four children over 10. He was allowed 480 acres by the 1830 treaty, which he sold by 1838. On September 21, 1836, he wrote from Demopolis, Alabama, offering to remove the remaining Choctaws to the west. He then stated that he had lived among the Choctaws many years. He was living on Blue River in the Choctaw Nation West in 1838 and died in 1850. His wife died in 1848. He was the father of Judith (married Robert M. Jones}, Tandy, John (1817-1886), William (born 1819), and Louis (died 1841).

Household in 1831

Judith was married, so she would not be enumerated with the family.

John Walker {white}, and Mary. Tandy Walker is listed as 16 in the Choctaw Academy records of 1832, Lewis is 12, and W.R. {William, probably William Riddle}, 11. So who are the missing 2 children? William and Mary are probably listed as under 10, one child under 10 missing, and one child over 10 (if male under 16} missing as well.

Notes for LOUIS WALKER:

Lewis' children are not named by Tandy in 1875 as heirs of Mary Riddle Walker, perhaps because they aren't in Skullyville county?

Notes for WILLIAM WALKER:

Neither of William's children are named by Tandy Walker as heirs of Mary Riddle, perhaps because they didn't reside in Skullyville?

There were two Betsy Beams at the same time in two different locations.

In an 1836 (maybe 1856) letter from Jackson MS. William Walker and Alsy (Elsie) Walker state they being the heirs of Anna who was a daughter of Istanche or Betsy Beams........

Notes for TANDY WALKER:

Testimony of Sarah Ann Moncrief Harlan

When asked about their neighbors, she first named Viceroy Tut, that was a white man and a farmer. Then, they asked her about Indian neighbors. She replied William Hall and Tandy Walker - not the younger Tandy Walker, but the one that had been dead for a good many years - "the back ancestor of all these Walkers" - the one that had been governor of the Choctaw Nation, I.T. The only other neighbor that she could remember were the Jackson Riddles.

Notes for HENDERSON WALKER:

Another researcher lists as a child of Elzira, which would make him significantly younger.

This is from Inez VonDerau's "the first 300 years"

Robert McCurtain, youngest son of Cornelius and Amy, was born on Christmas Day, 1850. He was killed before he reached his 24th birthday. All five of the McCurtain brothers were said to have been very tall and large men. Robert fell in love with a daughter of Colonel Tandy Walker and a half sister to Henderson Walker. Henderson had created a jealously toward Robert and disliked him very much. One day Robert rode over to the Walker place and Henderson was standing in the yard, Robert told him he wanted to get a bridle he had left there. As he rode into the yard Henderson shot him, his horse wheeled and ran about a one-fourth mile and Robert fell off the horse dead. Our father, who was not yet born at that time, said he remembers his Mother showing him a lone oak tree where Robert fell off the horse. This tree was close to the Walker home. When the trial came up Henderson beat the case on self-defense. He made his brags about killing Robert. He left the Choctaw Nation and went to the Cherokee Nation, where he stayed for three years.

When he returned to his father's home he continued to make his brags. Jackson and Edmund McCurtain, two older brothers of Robert, got their heads together and decided to pay a call to the Walker home. They said they could stand Henderson beating the case but could not stand his making his brags. They rode up to the Walker home after dark, knocked on the front door and Henderson answered the door knock. When he saw who his night callers were he began to beg for time. Edmund stood in front of his brother Jack, who rested his sawed off shotgun on the shoulders of his brother Edmund and shot Henderson Walker. He fell to the floor dead. There was a fifteen-year old girl, who was a visitor in the Walker home, who witnessed the killing that night. After the two brothers had killed Walker they calmly walked out of the house, mounted their horses and rode away. There was never any questioning or investigation by the law, nor was there any hard feelings between Colonel Walker and the two McCurtain brothers.

Interview with Green Walker Jr.

I was born October 26th, 1873 on Bokchito Creek, near what is now known as Soper, Oklahoma. It was then known as Kiamichi County, Choctaw Nation.

My father's name was Green Walker. I don't remember my mother's name, for she has been dead for a long time. I don't remember my grandfather's name nor my grandmother's name. I have been told they came from Mississippi, with the first bunch that came to this country. I don't know how they came over nor how much they suffered by the weather as they came over, for I never heard anyone say anything about it.

My father was not in the Civil War and I don't think that my Grandfather was either. If my grandfather was in the Civil War, my father never did tell us about it, and my father died at a ripe old age. He never told us that he was in the Civil War and I am pretty sure that if he had been, he would have told us about it.

When my grandfather came over to this country he located near what is now Soper, Oklahoma. Of course, at that time there was no Soper. He lived there until he and grandmother both died, where they first located. This country was prairie country and the land was fine. It was black land country. My father lived there until his death. I am now living a few miles from where my grandfather first located.

We had a farm of about thirty or forty acres in cultivation. As it was out on the prairie it was not hard to put in this much land. All we had to do was to make rails enough to fence it and break the land, then cut a few sumac bushes, then it was ready for the plow. That was the reason we put that much land in cultivation. We raised corn and some cotton on this land and when we picked the cotton we had to take it to Garrets Bluff, on the Texas side, and have it ginned. The cotton was sold and used in buying such supplies as we needed. We had our corn ground at a water mill which was located on Miller Creek, on the East side of Boggy River. The grass was fine on the prairie; it was high as a man on a horse.

We had cattle, Hogs and ponies on the farm and they ran out on the range. The grass was fine so they just ran out in the open range and got fat. We did not have to feed them even in the winter season. All the indians who lived in our community had plenty of stock. At that time there were no wire fences, the country was open range. All we had to do was brand our cattle and ponies and turn them loose until the next spring, when we gathered them and branded them again. There were plenty of acorns in the creek bottoms which the hogs lived on and got fat, they didn't have to be fed at any time.

Mother had a spinning wheel and a loom. She would make threads on the spinning wheel and then she would put the threads in a loom and weave them into cloth from which she made jean pants and shirts. She would also make socks and mittens out of wool. We had a few sheep for this purpose. father then sold the socks and mittens to other indians when they wanted them.

I did not play any Indian ball, however, I have seen them play. When they had a ball game between two counties it was more of a fight than a ball game. The older people would not let us youngsters play the game.

I have never seen an Indian dance. I have heard that they used to dance what they called a war dance during the war, and had what they called a scalp dance. I never saw them dance. These dances were among the full-bloods mostly. I have seen a dance that was called "Virginia Reel" or something. It was different to the dances they have nowadays. The Indians have quit dancing, I haven't seen an indian dance for several years. In that part of the country where i was reared there were lots of wild game such as deer and turkeys and fish in the creeks. There were lots of prairie chickens on the prairie, the prairie was just full of them, and lots of quail, in fact the country was full of the things that a man would want to eat.

We had a fine country then. There were no white people, all who lived there were Indians. The country was open for the stock where they could roam at will, They had no one to bother them. There was plenty of wild game, no wire fences, in fact, there were not many houses. Most of the houses we had were built of logs.

I went to school at Spencer Academy, a Choctaw Government school, for three terms and I went to Kendall College at Muskogee, for one term. That was about the extent of my schooling. Spencer Academy burned down several years ago and was not rebuilt, so there is no school building there now.

My grandmother and my grandfather were full blood Indians, but my father and my mother were not full bloods, they were mixed bloods. We did not live among the full bloods, in the community where I lived all were mixed bloods. However, we are all Choctaws and have lived in the community all of our lives. We are mixed with white people, where they got it I don't know.

giving birth to her first child. The child, a boy, died also. She

John Garrett and Maggie Collins Ainsworth.

Mattie White listed as a marriage in 1888, but he is living with Agnes in 1899, so I deleted that connection.

Dawes card 2773, no children listed. He is listed as age 29, and wife Mattie Gill 24, which is really strange, since it is almost 15 years after the 1885 census, he should be 39. No children are listed. He is listed as 1/4 choctaw. His mother Cillen Krebs was 1/4 choctaw, his father Tandy Walker was 1/4.
