To expand on this, three of Ira's sons ended up in northeastern Indian Territory, Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation by the time of the Civil War. That's where they got their allotments in 1906. I've not found record of Ira and Elizabeth past removal; perhaps they stayed in Arkansas, but their last son, Henry Goddard, was born in the 1850's in Indian Territory. Our family tradition has it that the Goddards were Shawnee and intermarried with the Cherokees. We are enrolled with the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, but recently the Loyal Shawnees broke off from the Cherokees and are compiling their own roll, for which we are also eligible.
