I have been searching for a very long time for any information about my gr.grandmother
Lula Caperton, from MS. My mother had very little information of her grandmother, Lula,
other than that she was half Choctaw Indian. Lula b.1867 married Beauregard Buford in
1887 in Noxubee County, Mississippi I can find no records, other than her marriage to
B.Buford, except on the 1880 US Fed Census. At that time she was 13 yrs. old and living as
a student with a William H. Forbes family in Noxubee Co, MS.
I can find no information on Lula Caperton Buford's parents at all.
Apparantly, her mother was full-bloodied Choctaw Indian and married a Caperton (first name
unknown)from MS or Tenn.
I would so appreciate any information that would help me find my gr.grandmother's
family,....her Choctaw family or Caperton family.
There has always been a mystery over this missing link of information.
Please, if there's anyone out there that has any info., or any suggestions. HELP
I've researched extensively on this and other geneology sites, as well as trying on
various Indian rolls. With no names, I've hit a wall.
Thanks for any help!
