Dear Mr. Work,
We have a small bit of information on Chief George HUDSON and on Peter James HUDSON, but we were not aware of their kinship, parents, etc. I would like very much to exchange data with you on this family. Here is what we have on Chief George and Peter James:
"Chief George HUDSON",p.54, "Chief George HUDSON born Miss. 1808, educated Mayhew Mission School, removed with Choctaws 1832, settled near Beth Abara Mission on W. bank Mr. Fork River;A wheelwright, he became (a) lawyer known for (his) oratory; on the Choctaw Nat'l. Council 1844-50; Chairman Const. Convention 1860; Principal Chief from 1860 through 1862; HUDSON died 1865... and he is buried (near DeQueen, AR, east of Idabel, OK)."
"Peter James HUDSON was b. Oct.10, 1861, at the old Stockbridge Missionary School building built by Cyrus BYINGTON at or near Eagletown in the Choctaw Nation. He died at the Indian Hospital at Talihina on Oct.21, 1938. The funeral was held on Oct.23, 1938, in the Choctaw Council House, and he was buried at the Tuskahoma cemetery near the Choctaw Council House on the same day. He was enrolled as a full-blood (roll #5483) although in fact he was three-quarter blood Choctaw of a non-English speaking Choctaw family, his grandfather being a white man whose antecedents and Christian name not disclosed. On Aug.16, 1891, he m. Amanda Jane BOHANAN, d/o Samuel H. Bohanan, a Presbyterian minister, and his wife, Margaret WOODS BOHANAN. Peter, the son of James HUDSON, and his wife, Ah-ho-bo-tema, who in Mississippi, was a member of the Apekah clan".... Children of Peter J. HUDSON and .. Amanda J. BOHANAN HUDSON were Helen A.
