Note for: Julia A. Wood, 1872 - 12 DEC 1901

According to Cousin Bo, he remembers seeing his father's mother in 1946 and she had long white hair. He said she died in the late 40's so therefore this information on Julia cannot be right, unless Harmon Sr. was married twice. Bo said that Julia is buried in the Spring Cemetery.

Hi Jami,

What are the odds of such a thing happening? I was completely stupefied!

Peter W. Hudson, Sr., and Myrtle May Campbell Hudson's oldest daughter (to survive infancy) was Lillian Thelma Hudson. She married Tom (Thomas Jefferson) Olive, and they had five children: John Thomas, Mary Frances, Betty Jane, Sharon (me), and Deborah.

So Peter W. Hudson, Jr., is my uncle--mother's only brother. Hiahwahnah was the Indian name given to the baby of the family, whose name is Frances Clyde Hudson. Aunt Hiahwahnah is the only surviving one of the siblings. I submitted a story entitled "Myrtle May Campbell and the Choctaws" to www.myhistory.org that is a compilation of my memories of my grandmother. Both she and my grandfather were such grand people.

After Wash Hudson had been murdered, my grandfather Peter W. Hudson was sent as far away as possible by his mother. This was done to prevent the oldest son--Peter--from attempting to take revenge for his father's murder. Revenge was evidently a Choctaw way of doing things--an eye for an eye kind of deal. An interesting footnote: Wash's murderer--also a full-blood--committed suicide in prison because he could not tolerate being locked up. So it was a tragedy all the way around.

Peter W. Hudson, 712 West Beech, Durant, Oklahoma, Born, Eagletown, Indian Territory, August 29, 1877. Parents, Washington Hudson, Frances Bohanon Hudson. Full-blood Indians, Choctaw.

MR. HUDSON'S STORY:

My people came to Oklahoma from Mississippi, about 1832. "From information I received from my grandmother Hudson, who was about 18 years of age at the time they were brought here, that there were so many of them, and were all afoot and endured some hardship on account of weather, deaths all along the trails. My great grandmother died some where on the road."

My grandfather, James Hudson, was a minister of the Gospel; the rest were farmers and stock raisers.

I was court clerk from 1907 to January 1921, in Pushmataha County. At present I am in the Indian service, as land appraiser.

"In Tribal Affairs, my Great Uncle George Hudson, was President of Constitutional Convention in 1856 and in 1858 at the ratification of the Constitution so drafted he was elected first Chief under the new Constitution, in fact only written constitution Choctaws ever had, but he was not elected in 1860 because he refused to take part in Civil War." My Uncle, Jackson Hudson, became county judge of Eagle County, Choctaw Nation, after the Civil War. This was the county seat at Eagletown and he served 24 years; also, he served 4 years in the Civil War, in the Southern Army.
