During our Oklahoma road trip, we visited the Chickasaw National Capitol Building in Tishomingo.
Behind the purple-flowered bushes are a set of memorial bricks that people can purchase in tribute to others. My dad had a set made for the ancestors in our Chickasaw line. They sit at the base of the building and welcome all who visit:
My grandmother
My great-grandmother
My great-great grandmother
My third-great grandfather
My fourth-great grandfather
My fifth-great grandfather
My sixth-great grandmother
My sixth-great grandfather
It was 105 degrees on the day we visited the Chickasaw National Capitol Building. The trip was nice, but equally as nice was the Dairy Queen just 2 blocks down the road. It was an ideal end to our day.

OK, this is wayyy wayyy cool, no, not the weather, the bricks!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I'm guessing no one knows the real name of your sixth-great grandmother?
ReplyDeleteVery nice of your dad to purchase the bricks, and I'm glad you've got the photos. Yep, that is very cool.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, you're correct. James Colbert had three wives. Two were "Fullblood Chickasaw" and one was "Halfblood Chickasaw." That's how they are referred to in every bit of information I have seen so far, even in museums and books.
