Message Board Post:
is the Chisholm trail named for one of the cherokee Chisholms ? because I saw where some John Chisholm married a woman named Sophronie. now my daughter in laws line somehow connects to Nocoma texas and a lady named Sophie.McClendon kilgore and we are trying to trying to connect to a Sophronie McClendon . now
the father or grandfather is said to be a mysterious indian/ maybe choctaw or cherokee male who changed his name , who changed his name to appear irish.. we assume he changed it to McClendon.
now I have run into a few cherokee and a few in my line of cherokee ( with a little choctaw/chickasaw ) who were or might be related to Oconostota and or turtle at home etc who had to change their name for political / removal reasons..
so a possible Cherokee who had to change his name just seemed a bit too familiar.. I just have to ask about it .
does anyone know who John Chisholm was who married Sophronie/ probably shortened to Sophie .
OR which Chisholm lived near Nocona texas / and who's farm started the ( chisholm trail. and does anyone know what His wife's, daughters etc name was and they came from ?
