Sam - Makes sense, thanks for filling in some of the blanks. It would be interesting to study the original list to try to determine if perhaps a transcription error occurred. Regardless, until we can locate CMSRs or muster rolls for the Choctaw Battalion, we have nothing to compare the name to. Perhaps George Martin could take a run at it. I am pretty much out of the loop for the next 5 days, but will try again when I am back if no one else has found anything.
