My people came to Oklahoma from Mississippi, about 1832.
"From information I received from my grandmother Hudson, who was about 18 years of age at the time they were brought here, that there were so many of them, and were all afoot and endured some hardship on account of weather, deaths all along the trails. My great grandmother died some where on the road."
My grandfather, James Hudson, was a minister of the Gospel; the rest were farmers and stock raisers.
I was court clerk from 1907 to January 1921, in Pushmataha County. At present I am in the Indian service, as land appraiser.
"In Tribal Affairs, my Great Uncle George Hudson, was President of Constitutional Convention in 1856 and in 1858 at the ratification of the Constitution so drafted he was elected first Chief under the new Constitution, in fact only written constitution Choctaws ever had, but he was not elected in 1860 because he refused to take part in Civil War."
My Uncle, Jackson Hudson, became county judge of Eagle County, Choctaw Nation, after the Civil War. This was the county seat at Eagletown and he served 24 years; also, he served 4 years in the Civil War, in the Southern Army.
