Ken,
Thanks for the look up,Its sure looks like him,but except for the middle name being "S" -"l" It would be nice to know if he was in commissary? That would seal the proof being him.I'm looking at Samuel Cochran age 49 overseer do you think he's the same one shown as enlisted pvt. and some these are his son's.One 22 yrs old,one is 18 years old? That would mean he was a Uncle to William? Just a idea.I'm on new a computer,I'm not to sure I got the bugs out of it yet.
Yesterday I got a picture of late"Winchester Colbert" on the front page of the 'Chickasaw Times' July issue 2008.

He will be inducted into the Chickasaw Hall of Fame Aug.21,2008 at ceremonies 6:30 p.m. at Riverwind Casino.
It the photo looks abt 1866 went he went to washington D.C. I will try to sent a copy,it the only one known to exist.I live in Oregon and not be there, but other family members will be.His Hat,is a ?Thanks
