This, while true, is misleading. Although the position of Chief generally went to the nephew of the Chief through the sister of the former Chief, the council would chose the canditate also based on his merits as a warrior. H.B. Cushman uses this example in reference to Pushmataha. Presumably, the need for this was that their may be more than one nephew who was vying for leadership. Additionally, the first Chiefs most books referred to as "elected" were descendants of the same three bloodlines as the former Chiefs Mushatubbee (David Folsom and Robert Kincaid), Apuckanubee (presumed relationship, Robert Cole, Greenwood Leflore, Thomas Leflore), and Pushmataha (Oklahoma (sometimes called Tappenhoma) Nittakechi, Pierre Juzan).

    Notes:

    I preface this particular person's lineage with the caveat that this is a 'best evidence' assumption based on facts and DNA evidence.

    Arthur Carney was born about 1755-1760 in North Carolina, to the son of Arthur Carney the Indian Trader and Elizabeth Aderton. Like his father, Arthur became an Indian Trader to the Choctaw's and was found to have a trading post under the Spanish Grand Party in 1787 (after his father's death) in Spanish Territory that was at the time known as east Florida in the Mississippi Valley near New Orleans, at the mouth of the Yazoo River. This trading post provided beef from Texas Trading Companies, among other items.

    While establishing himself as an Indian Trader, Arthur was offered, and took up a Choctaw Indian wife named Hoke (Hokey) from a prominent family, and from this union his wife bore a child and named him Jeremiah (Jerry) Carney, namesake of his father's son Jeremiah, his uncle. This wife is also documented in the baptismal certificate on file for his son Jeremiah. He also had another son by Hoke, who he named Arthur after his father, and who is found in the Armstrong Rolls when forced in the emigration to Oklahoma in later years. In addition, he had a white wife named Matilda, and much later another Celeste Brashear with which he had one child Elizabeth Louisiana Carney. Celeste died in childbirth in 1798 after 1 year of marriage, and daughter Elizabeth was orphaned at 6 years of age when Arthur was also killed on 6th of July 1804 at age 49.

    To fill in a few years in between; we find in various documents that Arthur was an active Indian Trader and a man of wealth and prosperity, with friends of other prominent traders such as Turner Brashears, Louis Leflore, Alexander Fazier and others. In later years he was in a partnership in the mercantile business with John Edgerill, which ended in 1802 when Elderill filed suit for an improper accounting by Carney. But, before any decree or payment was made, Arthur died in unknown circumstances. Not long after that, Edgergill died in 1807 and the suit was later renewed in the name of Prosper and Richard King, Edergills heirs or assignees. The Kings obtained a decree against Arthur's estate, now held by his widowed wife who had now married John Cummins. The decree also extended to Joseph Nichols and his wife Elizabeth who was the daughter of Arthur Carney. John Cummins was the administrator of Arthur's estate, as mentioned by Kings attorney.

    A major setback for Arthur occurred during the American War of Independence started in 1776, when like his father (who died in the war), he sided as a loyalist with the British. At the end of the war, Arthur was given 6 months to settle his estate and was then banished from the Colonial Union under the Act of Attainder, Banishments and Confiscation and selling any effected assets quickly, as he took refuge in Spanish eastern Florida (later known as Louisiana and Mississippi). In 1784, he was in court in East Florida, in a case against Manuel Solano and Arthur Carney. He denied charges of Theft but admitted that they beat up a negro named Frank.

    Notes:

    I preface this particular person's lineage with the caveat that this is a 'best evidence' assumption based on facts and DNA evidence. Positive proof of Iklennabee's and John Carney's (B:1748-1750) father is NOT available and based on conclusions.

    Background: It is concluded that the father of Iklennabee was likely a white man who married a Choctaw Indian woman. In Choctaw language, iklanna means 'half' in relation to blood (brother), and the full meaning was "Half-blood Warrior". Many Choctaw families helped their daughters select a trader as husband. Both Traders and elite Choctaw families sought these unions but chiefs like Franchimastabe and Taboca controlled the actions of such foreigners who wished to become part of Choctaw Society. Elite power became increasingly associated with these foreigners and their imported goods. Only elite Choctaws had marriageable access to traders and only elite Choctaw women married these traders in the late eighteenth century.

    DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (B: 1775) line is related through an exact match with 37 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (B: 1748) line. Despite other researchers speculation, we cannot merge Iklannabee into John Carney (B: 1748) who is believed to be his half-brother. Reasons: (1) That John Carney has children with sufficient documentation proving that they were born and partially raised in the North Carolina and then arrived in Tennessee territory in 1783 - Iklannabee birthdate firmed up about 1758 and would have been father at 12. (2) Iklannabee was Indian in appearance, and ? breeds were not then allowed to own land in Tennessee/North Carolina or serve as juror. (3) It is shown in several Censuses that John and his children were never mentioned to be anything other than white.

    This leads us to conclude that John of Tennessee and John of Mississippi have a common male progenitor although the evidence points out it cannot be the same father, thus a generation is skipped and John of Tennessee is actually the uncle of John of Mississippi. These families are found together in eastern North Carolina, which later became Tennessee with ample evidence of association with each other and each other's friends and acquaintances. This father/grandfather of the two men, points to a Carney/Kearney man who probably entered the country from Ireland around 1731, arriving in all probability in either eastern Florida (later state of Mississippi), or colonial Georgia. Some evidence points to his being a Flax Linen Spinner/Trader from Northern Ireland who took up Trading in the new land, and some evidence points to his coming in as an Irish-Scott brigade soldier/farmer given land and passage by the French Military in exchange for service, and may indeed be the same former Flax Spinner. We do not know if this was a trader or soldier for certain. Not long after his arrival in America, this first Arthur Carney from Ireland had a son, Arthur Carney (Kearney), born in about 1735. It is known that he also had a son named Jeremiah (brother to Arthur B:1735) and another son named William who was a prolific and successful trader among the Indians (documentation maintained). Arthur Carney B: 1732 is also known as Thomas Arthur Carney but apparently usually used his middle name Arthur in most documentation.

    Arthur Carney (B:c-1732) became a trader also, sometime after age 19 and his authorized area for trading was in Choctaw Territory, whereby this authority required he remain at his trading site 6 months out of the year. Most traders spent somewhat less, around 3 to 6 months of the year actually at their post, plus travel time - and like others, Arthur maintained a tobacco plantation and a white wife and family back 'home' for the other 6 months of the year. Documentation shows that Arthur was an active trader and land holder and was quite a successful businessman.

    Arthur was offered, and took a Choctaw Indian wife - whose name is uncertain, but was from a prominent family; and from this union his wife bore Iklannabee, born around the year 1758. Arthur was married to a white woman also while in North Carolina and later Georgia where he based some of his holdings. Her name was Elizabeth Aderton, as noted in several dealings outlined below. From this marriage, Arthur had at least one daughter, Margaret Carney, and three sons - Jeremiah Carney (not Jerry), Arthur Carney (Indian Trader), and John Carney B:1748. Pending further documentation, Arthur may have a possible fourth son, a trader William Carney who died in 1795 without children.

    The French withdrew from east Florida/Mississippi October 16, 1762 and ceded their claims in eastern Florida (Louisiana, Mississippi, etc) to Spain. The following year, the treaty of Paris gave Britain nearly all of France's holdings in America, setting the stage for dispute and conflict and a confusion of loyalties for the colonist. Who did they recognize as the true masters and heirs and to whom would they side with when the war of Independence broke out in 1776?

    By October 1775 all branches of government in the Georgia Colony were gone except for the Judicial branch after being overtaken.
    In December 1775 what was left of the Provincial Congress appointed a new Council of Safety. They were to organize a battalion to defend Georgia. On Jan 7th, 1776 the battalion was further organized by elected and commissioned field officers. This is when the prominent and wealthy ARTHUR CARNEY was "elected or commissioned" as a "Company Officer" with a rank of Captain, of the Fourth Company. John McIntosh, Jr Captain and Lachlan McIntosh JR 1st Lt were commissioned for the third Company. Capt Carney had 2 Lieutenants, 4 Sergents, 4 Corporals and 48 Sentinels in his company.

    In August 1777, Captain Arthur Carney was taken prisoner by the British at St. Simons Island, Georgia "Their crews captured and carried away Captain Arthur Carney, five citizens, several negroes, and as much household furniture as could be conveyed in the barges." For any number of possible reasons, Arthur deserted to the British on the "10th of August 1777, and subsequently joined the enemy." His son Arthur (B: 1755/D:1804) was also a Tory he too sided with the British. After the war 100,000 loyalist were dispersed to all parts of the Empire, from Britain to Mississippi, West Indies, Canada and Florida.

    Unfortunately, Arthur did not survive the war and was killed during the waning hours of the war in 1783. His property of 300 acres at Sunbury, was put up for auction in August 1781 as confiscated property, even before his death. This disposal of assets continued after his demise with other properties of "late the property of Arthur Carney...being persons named in the Act of Confiscation and Attainder, as enemies to the State." Public sale held at Sunbury February 1785. This was followed by Confiscated Estates sales in St. Patrick's Parish (now Glynn County), and others.
