My gg israndmother was Mary Elizabeth Pyatt, who is supposed to be Dennis Bushyhead's grandaughter. I need to find out if one of these daughters is her mother. Her children were: James (g grandfather), Charles, Zipporah, and Parlee.

Thank you for all the information you have given me. Now maybe I can truly trace this back to the Butler surname on my father's side of the family. How do you know so much of this family, are you related? Please email me if you would,

Re: Bushyhead changed to Busby, Creek Indian

You are right, there are several Bushyheads that were Cherokee. It would make it much easier if my husbands family came from Cherokee history, but they come from Creek history. There is only one Bushyhead on the Creek rolls (Cleveland). Bigger problem is that our Bushyhead changed his name to Zachariah Busby, and we don't have the original first name to compare to rolls and indian annuities. Thanks for the information anyway. You are definately on the right track. You might also check Roots Web and see what they have on Native American names.

A few days ago I was searching for an Effie McBroom on the Dawes Rolls, and was eventually lead to Flora J. Harris from around Long View, Texas. I think Effie (IDA G.) is the niece of Flora, who is the grandaughter of a Nancy Bushyhead (Cherokee Indian) of Tahlequah, Cherokee County, Oklahoma.

Bushyhead changed to Busby, Creek Indian

We have the one of our ancestors originally had the name Bushyhead and changed it to Busby in the early 1800's. He was a Creek indian. I found a Cleveland Bushyhead in the Dawes Rolls, but our "Zachariah Busby" would have been long gone.
Any thoughts?
