gr-gr grandfather,Richard Matney
My gr-gr grandfather's name was Richard Matney,we were always told he came from Ok.and was Cherokee Indian.Also that possibly he had another name,an Indian name and that is why we can only trace him back so far,there seems to be a mystery surrounding him.I do know that my gr-grandmother,Polly Grnnip(nee)Matney,went to Okahoma,sometime in the thirties,with two of her daughters(one being my grandmother, Lela Grinnip and the other being my aunt Elzena,to stake some sort of claim,that had to do with an Indian enrollment.At that time they lived in Union,Mo.But my grandmother and her kin came from Tuscombia,Mo. in Miller county,so I know that Richard Matney went there when he left Oklahoma,he, and I believe, a brother and possibly a son from a previous marriage.I believe he was married to a Grigsby,before he married my gr-gr grandmother Martha Scrimager.If anyone knows anything about any of this I would appreciate some feedback.
