Robert Was Officially 1/4 Choctaw Indian
Tribal Enrollment data recorded about 1885-1886 shows Robert Lee Pebworth as being a one-year-old Indian male, with a white mother (Mary Pebworth) and an Indian father (John Pebworth).
His statistics recorded December 12, 1902, Field #638, Towson County, Fowlerville, OK, reveal Robert Lee (aka R.L.) Peb(s)worth to be #1491 on the Dawes Commission Choctaw Nation Roll. Robert Lee Pebsworth is listed as being born in 1896, fourteen (14) years old, one-quarter (1/4) Choctaw Indian with original tribal enrollment number 10332, and was the son of deceased John Peb(s)worth and Mary Peb(s)worth.
Robert Lee Pebworth, Sr. and Beulah Ethel Whitaker were married July 24, 1909, by Methodist Minister J. H. Bell in Durant, Oklahoma, Bryan County. He was 23 and Beulah was 15. Witnesses were C.A. and I.A. Whitaker.
Divorce
Beulah and Robert, Sr., were divorced around 1925. Afterwards, Robert proceeded to marry a woman whom he called 'an Indian princess.' On Jan 3, 1925, 35-year-old Robert Lee Pebworth, Sr. married 21-year-old Thelma Holman in Paris, TX, Lamar Co. Later, on Aug. 13, 1932, Robert Lee Pebworth, Sr., married Ethel Davis in Dallas, TX, Dallas Co. Beulah Whitaker Pebworth, his first wife, never remarried.
After the divorce, the four boys' grandparents helped rear Robert and Beulah's sons. The boys worked in the Pebworth family dairy near Idabel, Oklahoma [Cousin Sherry has inherited many photos of the boys on the milk truck selling milk to the Idabel populace!], while Beulah went off to Austin, Texas, for secretarial training.
Beulah worked for many years as a secretary at the Biltmore Hotel in Oklahoma, City, Oklahoma.

Robert's Parents
Robert Lee's father was John Pebworth. His mother was John's third wife, Mary Armstrong.
John Pebworth had at least three, perhaps four, wives:
Susan Ann Farlis, age 18, married John Pebworth, age about 24, in Clark Co. Arkansas on Feb. 21, 1861
Mary Arrington
Mary Armstrong,
? Mollie Williams (1877) (The existence of this wife is hotly disputed among family genealogists!)
The 1885 Towson County Choctaw Nation Census lists the following persons:
John Pebworth, 47, Indian male, farmer
(wife) Mary Pebworth, 26, white female
Joseph Pebworth, 15, Indian male
Rosella, 14, Ind. fem.
Emma, 6, Ind. fem.
Sam, 5 (or 3?), Ind. male
Robert Lee, 1, Ind. male
James Walter, 1, Ind. male
(Debate exists as to whether or not Robert Lee and James Walter were twins. If so, this James Walter Pebworth may have died in infancy, because the Dawes Commission Census just over a dozen years later lists Robert L. as 14 yrs. old and James as being 9 yrs. old.)
I have a copy of one page (Towson County, Post Office: Fowlerville, Indian Territory, Field # 638, dated Dec. 12, 1902) of the Dawes Commission Choctaw Census that lists the following persons:
Sam Pebsworth, age 21, Dawes Roll. No. 1490, former tribal enrollment no 10331;
Robert L., 14, Dawes 1491, T.E.# 10332;
Hugh, 12, Dawes 1492, T.E.# 10333;
James, 9, Dawes 1493, T.E.# 10334;
John, 7, Dawes 1495, T.E.# 10335;
Louis, 5, Dawes 1496, T. E. #10336.
These male children were listed as having 1/4 Choctaw Indian blood with tribal enrollment having been in Towson County in 1896. Their parents are listed as John Pebsworth and Mary Pebsworth, both deceased by roll date of Dec. 12, 1902.
Robert's Grandparents
Robert Lee Pebworth's grandfather was a man of English descent, Henry Pebworth [also called Henry Pebsworth and Henry Pidgeworth in Armstrong's Choctaw Census of 1831] who reportedly lived from 1790 to 1847. (Some family historians said that Henry died, according to Muskogee Records, in 1842 in Clark Co. Ark. as a result of a hunting accident and was buried by Shady GroveBaptist Church.)
Robert Lee Pebworth's grandmother was a full-blooded Mississippi Choctaw Indian named Na Ka Ta Cha, whose English name was Patsy McCann, and who was born in Indian Territory, Mississippi. One family genealogist lists Patsy [Na Ka Ta Cha] as being born in 1790 and dying in 1883. (Another has Patsy born about 1800 and dying at the home of her daughter, Mary Ann, in 1846 in Curtis, Ark., Clark Co. and buried by the Shady Grove Baptist Church.)
Robert Lee Pebworth's grandfather, Henry Pebworth, his Choctaw wife, Patsy McCann [a.k.a Na Ka Ta Cha], and their family were living in Pickens County, Alabama, when Indian lands were declared confiscated and Indian relocation was ordered.
According to some family genealogists, Henry Pebworth and (Na Ka Ta Cha) Patsy McCann married about 1819, and both had been married previously. Before Henry Pebworth married Patsy McCann (Na Ka Ta Cha), she was married to a man named Bean. Patsy and husband Bean were parents of Jim Bean, born about 1815 in Indian Territory, Miss.
In the 1831 Armstrong Census Henry Pidgeworth (Henry Pebworth) cultivated 14 acres, and there were 7 in his entire family [(no males over aged 10) and 5 males and females under aged 10)]. Henry Pebworth (aka. Henry Pidgeworth) is listed as white with 160 acres of good land in Tombeebe. Pidgeworth's wife, Na Ka Ta Cha, was cultivating 5 acres out of her 160 acres of good land in Tombe. Her family consisted of 10 persons, including 3 males over age 10 and 6 males and females under age 10. So apparently Na Ka Ta Cha had about 4 children by her first marriage. (The fact that an Indian named Cornelius McCann is listed beneath the name of Na Ka Ta Cha provides confirmation that Na Ka Ta Cha, wife of Pidgeworth, was actually Patsy McCann.)
Tribal Enrollment data recorded about 1885-1886 shows Robert Lee Pebworth as being a one-year-old Indian male, with a white mother (Mary Pebworth) and an Indian father (John Pebworth).
