(History "William Latty: Hills of Tennessee to the Missouri Ozarks" compiled by Ila Chastain "Folk lore tells us William with his young wife and two toddlers left Tennessee on that dreaded "trail of tears" with a ten-wagon caravan." Info from older family members and court records lead one to believe that William Latty and family traveled through the wilderness with Latty families and other related families, Tyners and Bradshaws.  Susan died in childbirth, and William came down with pneumonia from digging her grave and also died. Their 7 youngest children were raised by two maiden aunts in the home of Andrew Jackson "Doc" Latty.

This looks like John D. Tyner's Aunt (Martha E. Latta) lived with them, and that his wife's Aunt (Rebecca E. Latta/probably #44 Carlene Rebecca Latta) lived with them. There is a Rebecca F. Latta (1869-1952) buried in the Caney Cemetery, Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK, along with a Martha E. Latta (1859-1933).  If there is a reference to their father's being born in George, wonder if this was where #1 John Latta was from originally.??
 

13 JOHN WESLEY (2) LATTY

John (1). Born abt. 1840. (I believe the date of his birth is wrong, because his children were being born about 1846.  There is a record that he was born between 1801 and 1810. - 1830 Williamson Co., Tennessee Census-Census Film #024540 shows a John Latty, with one male under 5, 2 from 5-9 years old, 1 from 15-19, 1 male 20-29, and one male 60-69, 1 female 5-9, 1 female 15-19, 3 females 20-29, and 1 female 40-49. This could show that John's parents John Latta (being the 1 male between 60-69) and Martha Frances Scott Latta (being the 1 female 40-49) was living with them.)  Married Francis "Fannie" Connors.  Fannie was born in 1827 in Tennessee and died in 1887. She is buried in the Caney Cemetery, Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK.  Or it could be a different John Latty altogether.  There is a Matthew Latta and a William Latta in the First Cherokee Mounted Rifles, Bryan's Battalion, Oklahoma.  This could be William below, but who was Matthew?

GUION MILLER COMMISSION INDIAN RECORDS - Application No. 16875 - 3918 - James B. Tyner
Elizabeth Tyner (Francis Elizabeth Latty - daughter of John Latty and Martha Francis Scott) being first duly sworn in behalf of Robert J. Tyner says:
I am about 79 years of age. I was born in Roane Co., but I don't know the state. It was in the east. Applicant gets his Indian Blood through his father, Lewis Tyner. He died in 1878. He was born in the east. He left the east in 1850. Lewis Tyner was my husband and he was a Cherokee Indian. He was enrolled in 1851 but I don't know whether he drew money or not. In coming west, we stopped in Missouri but came to the territory in 1874. I think that Lewis Tyner was a quarteroon. Lewis was born in 1800. I married Lewis in 1847 and he was a tolerably old man at that time. He lived in Hamilton Co., Tenn. before we were married. He lived in Alabama before he moved to Tennessee. Reuben and Nathan were brothers of Lewis. He had another brother who died in the Chickasaw Nation. His name was Jesse and he married a Chickasaw woman. Rueben and one of the other boys came out west as far as Arkansas with the Old Settlers and then moved to this state. Lewis' oldest child, John was born in 1819. I am the second wife of Lewis. He was separated from his first wife and she moved to Arkansas with some of their children. Ruebin died before we came out west in 1850. Hiram was a child of my husband by his first wife. His oldest son was named Ruebin. I think he was born about 1845- he was old enough to be in the Civil War. Susan Tyner is the name of my oldest child and she was born in 1850. I never heard that my husband was enrolled. Never made an affidavit that he was enrolled. I never knew of him receiving any land or money. My husband has always been recognized as a Cherokee Indian. My children never associated with any other tribe of Indians than the Cherokees. her mark - Elizabeth (X) Tyner. (Elizabeth was "Francis Elizabeth Latta", daughter of John Latta and Martha Scott.)

End Notes...............
______________________________________________________________________________

One might look to branch No.9 for a tie to this branch. Also look at the book ;
" The Lords Vineyard" By, F. F. Latta 1940 About Branch # 9. Please keep in mind that people of that time did not like to show their relationship to an Indian Tribe, as I think has been done in branch No.9 . Keep in mind that " Indian Territory" was what is now Northern Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma and that White people could not own land in Washington Co., Ark. until the Treaty of 1826, unless they married into the Tribe. It looks as if the above 4 Felix (3) Latta had

named his sons after what could be his uncles in branch # 9. Andrew, James, Thomas, Francis, Samuel. And his daughter "Elizabeth" after his aunt in branch # 9 " Sarah Elizabeth".
