Child of Arthur Kearny and Hokey (Choctaw Indian) 4 May 1795 Jerry was elected as Captain of his village to represent them in government affairs. He was a corporal in the War of 1812 Nixon's Regiment. Per June Pollard: On his military discharge papers indicated he lived "in Amite" (probably Marion Co. later)...in l84l & l842 he purchased land in Madison Co. by cash and indicated he lived in Marion Co. MS. He owned lots of land in Madison Co., MS which his heirs filed for in AR but Jerry also owned property in other counties so it is uncertain where he is buried..

Captain was a title adaptated by the Choctaw from white mans ranking system to designate a lower level leader of a band of warriors; with the Chief known as Big Medal, his assistant as Little Medal, followed by Captains leading the groups of warriors.
Jerry was a Corporal in the Mil. The Capt Rank comes a Choctaw Title. War of 1812 Jerry Served in Nixon's Reg. Ikenaby served with Andrew Jackson.Ikanaby also served Choctaws in War of 1812.

(DJ) RE:Jerry being the Father of Ikenaby MS...well, that will not stand up against the Baptismal Record D.J. found in Mobile dated l795 with Jerry being "around 9 years of age" when baptised...this would make Jerry too young to have children - right? SO THE BOTOM LINE IS WE ARE SOLELY LACKING IN DATA TO ESTABLISH JERRY AS THE FATHER OF JOHN CARNEY, SR. OF MS Subject: American State Papers VOL VIII URL http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llsp&fileName=035/lls p035.db&Page=686 Link to the Choctaw who applied for citizenship a good copy to save Much has been written about the change in hereditary leadership to an electoral process in nearly all the books written on the Choctaw. 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). The descendants of these families continued an active role in tribal government until the Dawes Commission act of 1896, many holding the office of Chief.

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.
