MARTHA (PATSY) LYONS DORLON
Choctaw Ballards Author: John Reed Date: 12 Nov 2001 2:37 PM GMT Surnames: Ballard, Havens, Lyons, Dorlon Message:
I really don't have much information about Rosalee or Rosalia Ballard's family. I know her father was Phelan T. Ballard. Her mother was Misrecordia Haven. Roselia was born March 7, 1795 in Heron Bay Ala on the Fish River. I have a photo of her Baptismal record from the Mobile Catholic Cathedral. I also have a tin type photo of her. She is wearing what has been identified as Choctaw style ear rings and dress. The ear rings are still in the family. A cousin in Mobile has them and I have photos of them. Roselia married Amos Paul Lyons. One book refers to him as an indian scout. They had a daughter Martha Patsy Lyons. She married Nathan Mulford Dorlon. His obituary says he was the first white man to came to Heron Bay, Al. This is where Patys Lyons and Roselia and her family lived. I also have a tin type of Patsy Lyons at age 97?. My older aunts and my father talked about being told by their grandfather that Roselia was Choctaw. My grandmother also p[assed this information on to us. There has never been any doubt of her being Choctaw in our family. The problem is offical records. My grandmother and her generation have no government birth records. They were born at home near Alabama Port and had no contact with the government. Family history talks about hiding from the 1830s removals and avoiding the government, thus the lack of official records. My grandmother was involved in one of the CHoctaw law suits in the 1950s. Unfortunately the records have disappeared, in hiding, covered up at this time. We are still trying to track them down at the Natioanl Archives to see what she filed on her geneology. The search goes on. John
Martha Patsy Lyons who married Nathan Mulford Dorlon as half Choctaw. The family filed a claim with Attorney Weir based on her lineage from parents Amos Paul Lyons and Rosalia Ballard a Choctaw and grandparents Phelan T. Ballard and Misevicordia Haven being Choctaw indians.
