I believe it was. The Indians were given the chance to stay behind, buying land and living under the law of the land, but as it were, not many did, chosing to stay with their people and most did not have the means to buy the land sold out from under them by the negotiated treaties anyway. I have records of the Caraway family (married into my Coheas) who was in partnership on some land dealings with Indians that stayed behind in the Calhoun Co., MS area. But to answer your original question, I believe most certainly Charlie and Perry Cohea ( of Indian descent ) in some way connected with this Perry Cohea to acquire the name of Cohea in the Jackson MS area and then moved on to Oklahoma with the Movement in 1840. The white Perry Cohea and my Charlie Cohea are accounted for in the areas they settled and their ancestry documented.
