Today’s episode of Research Like a Pro is about the story of Eliza Ann Isenhour (1850-1898) and the family lore that claims she was a full-blooded Cherokee. The conversation starts with the 1884 incident that left Eliza a widow with four young children and another on the way after her husband, William Henderson Shults, died following an accident. Faced with the challenges of widowhood, Eliza remarries Jacob Meek, and they eventually move to Indian Territory, where she dies in 1898. Despite family stories, evidence suggests Eliza was not Cherokee.
Diana and Nicole talk about Eliza’s early life, born in Arkansas, her family’s relocation following her father’s death, and her eventual move to Texas. They highlight the family’s migration to Coryell County, Texas, by 1870, setting the stage for later moves that would define Eliza’s journey. Central to their conversation is the family’s relocation to Indian Territory in the late 19th century, driven by legislative changes and opportunities for land. They examine whether Eliza and Jacob’s move was part of the 1889 land grab or if they qualified for tribal membership based on family stories of Eliza’s Cherokee ancestry.
Through research, Diana and Nicole find that Eliza did not have Native American bloodlines, with her husband Jacob being ¼ Choctaw. This discovery leads them to reconsider the family narrative, suggesting the lore of Eliza’s Cherokee heritage may be rooted in her step-children’s Choctaw background rather than factual history. They conclude by emphasizing the role of research in affirming or refuting family stories. The tale of Eliza Ann Isenhour exemplifies how family lore can morph over time and underscores the significance of a thorough and open-minded approach to uncovering historical truths.

This is Research Like a Pro episode 302. Examining Family Lore was Eliza Isenhour, a Cherokee? Welcome to Research Like, a Pro a genealogy podcast about taking your research to the next level. Hosted by Nicole Dyer and Diana Elder, Accredited Genealogist Professional. Diana and Nicole are the mother daughter team at FamilyLocket.com and the authors of Research Like a Pro A Genealogist Guide with Robin Wirthlin. They also co-authored the Companion Volume, Research Like a Pro with DNA. Join, Diana, and Nicole as they discuss how to stay organized, make progress in their research and solve difficult cases. Let’s go.
Nicole (42s):
Today’s episode is sponsored by Newspapers.com. Well, it’s Research Like a Pro again. How’s everyone doing? Hi Mom.
Diana (49s):
Hi Nicole. I’m excited to be here talking about genealogy again with you. It’s always so fun,
Nicole (55s):
Right? It is. We’ve just been pre-talking and it’s always exciting with all the new tools, with DNA and with artificial intelligence, there’s always something new to learn and we’re having way too much fun.
Diana (1m 8s):
Yeah, I don’t think when we started this in 2003 that we had any idea where the field of genealogy would be going, so it is super fun.
Nicole (1m 18s):
Right. Tell me what you’ve been doing for your Clemsy Cline project.
Diana (1m 22s):
Well, this last assignment was to work with segment data. So I have been going over to MyHeritage and GEDMatch and finding people who match on the Cline line and then painting those segments into DNA painter. And it’s been really great because I have identified a specific segment through triangulation on Chromosome 22 and You know it’s always really fun to identify a segment that’s coming from a third great grandparent. I don’t have many of those figured out yet, so it’s exciting to see. And really I had to do a lot of work to get to the point where I’d even recognize these DNA matches and who they were and where they were coming from.
Diana (2m 3s):
So it really is a testament to doing the whole process, learn about your matches, figure them out, and then you start getting more and more evidence from the DNA.
Nicole (2m 13s):
It’s so true. Good job. Announcements: our Research Like a Pro Webinar Series for May is going to be by Scott Dixon, who is a graduate of Research Like a Pro, and the title of his class will be Who was Mary Fe DeShazo, a case study using indirect evidence in burned counties. So we’re excited to hear him talk about that. Here’s the description. Mary was born in a county whose records burned. She was married and lived in two counties whose records burned. It seemed that wherever she went, disaster followed her. How then to determine who her parents were and what her surname was. This case study uses indirect evidence and negative evidence to identify a probable family of origin in Antebellum and reconstruction era Mississippi.
Nicole (2m 60s):
And the topics that will be covered are Mississippi burned counties, indirect evidence, negative evidence, War of 1812 pension, tax records, land records, and census records. So, we are excited for that. Also, the next Research Like, a Pro study group begins August of 2024, this year. And if you’d like to be a peer group leader for that, please apply on our website and you would receive free registration to get news and updates. Join our newsletter. It comes out every Monday with our latest blog posts, podcast episodes, videos on YouTube, and any coupons for upcoming conferences. We will be both presenting at the National Genealogical Society Conference this month, May 17th.
Nicole (3m 41s):
And we are excited for all of the wonderful lectures I’ve been seeing. Some really great topics come up in the NGS newsletters. So, I’m excited for the whole conference.
Diana (3m 52s):
I am too. NGS always has fresh new lectures and it’s always really fun to see the breadth of those all sorts of different topics. And for this one, I am doing one on writing stories of ancestors, which is a really fun topic for me because often I am, you know, discussing the Research Like a Pro methodology or specific record types. So we’re going to have a lot of fun in my class talking all about writing.
Nicole (4m 20s):
Yay. I love that topic. And you’ve done so much writing, especially last year when you did every week a different profile or biography of an ancestor,
Diana (4m 29s):
Right? and I learned a lot of little tips and tricks that I will be sharing. So hopefully a lot of our listeners will be logging on to the NGS Virtual Conference and can watch our lectures. That would be so fun. Well, today we are going to talk about one of those ancestors that I like to write about, and this is a Eliza Ann Isenhour. She was alive between 1850 and 1898, so she didn’t live to have a really long life. She died when she was about 48 years old and she still had a lot of younger children. So we’ll talk a little bit about her life. But the reason I wanted to research her was because we had a story that she was a full-blooded Cherokee and I had pictures of her.
Diana (5m 16s):
I have, it’s a very faint, kind of a blurry picture of both her and her husband. And she doesn’t really look Cherokee, but you know, as we’ll talk about this was a story that had been handed down in our family. So I wanted to talk about this whole idea about family lore. So the first story that we’ll start with is about the tragic accident in 1884 that made her a widow with four young children and another one on the way. And her husband, William Henderson Schultz had been riding his horse and his younger brother, Dick Schultz whipped the horse in fun and the horse started bucking and William held on until blood ran from his ears.
Diana (5m 59s):
So this had caused internal injuries and it resulted in his death. This story was told by my dad and his dad and it was always just exactly the same. I would try to get more details, but they didn’t know anything more than that. Well, Eliza remarried and she had another son named Calvin by her second husband, Jacob Meek. And they moved north from Brown County, Texas to Indian territory by 1898 where she died. And as I said, she was fairly young. She died of pneumonia, I believe, and her descendants all reported she was full blooded Cherokee. It didn’t come down just through my branch of the family, it came down through other branches of the family as well.
Diana (6m 42s):
So of course I wanted to research her and try to figure this out. So starting at the beginning with Eliza, she was born in Arkansas according to her census records. And in 1850 she was in the household of her parents Barnett and Marianne Isenhour. And even though we don’t really have relationships in that census, there’s no reason to suspect that this wasn’t a family grouping. The family was enumerated in Poe Township of Montgomery County, Arkansas on 19 September, 1850 and Eliza was just six months old. So that gives us an approximate birth date of March, 1850. And her parents were both born in Missouri and they’d moved to Arkansas at least by 1848 with the birth of their oldest child, Sarah.
Diana (7m 27s):
So the household had Barnett age 29, Maryanne age 21, little Sarah, age two, and Eliza Ann, age 6/12ths.
Nicole (7m 37s):
Love that.
Diana (7m 38s):
Yeah. Isn’t it always fun to have the baby’s ages broken down by months? Yes.
Nicole (7m 43s):
And I think it also gives us a pretty good idea of that indirect evidence that this was a family group and not Eliza with an aunt and uncle or something.
Diana (7m 52s):
Exactly.
Nicole (7m 52s):
Because usually when they’re infants like that, they’re still with their mom.
Diana (7m 56s):
Right, right.
Nicole (7m 57s):
Unless the parents died. I was gonna say too that how do you know if an 1850 census represents a family grouping or not? and I was just thinking about how it just comes down to the body of evidence. And when you research all the records for a family, you start to get an idea.
Diana (8m 11s):
You do. You start to think, okay, wait, I think I’m missing something here. Or and I think it just comes with experience too, looking at a census and getting a feel for what might be happening there. Well, by 1860 though, life had significantly changed because the Father Barnett had died somewhere in the mid 1850s. And by 1860 we have Eliza Ann Isenhourin the household of her stepfather, Esquire Blevins. So this is one of those blended censuses. And in this case, we do have the different surnames that help us sort out who is who. So. we have Squire Blevins and Maryanne Blevins. So Maryanne had remarried the Squire Blevins and they’re both in their thirties.
Diana (8m 57s):
And then we have a Margaret Blevins, a Luke Blevins, a Richard Blevins, and a Mary Blevins. So we’ve got children from his first marriage between the ages of 14 and eight. And then we have the Isenhourchildren listed. So they’re separated out by families, which I think is super helpful. So then we have the Sarah Isenhourand Eliza plus two more, Texana and John between ages six and 13. And then we have two little girls, Emily and California, both Blevins age three and one, which would be children of Maryanne and Squire Blevins together. So in this case, in 1860, it really nicely delineates You know his children, her children and their children
Nicole (9m 41s):
Just by the groupings. Right. I love how you can kind of just infer that based on ages and
Diana (9m 48s):
And their surnames. In this case, they did retain their surnames You know, but the Isenhour children were Isenhour’s,
Nicole (9m 55s):
Right? Yeah. And that’s so lucky because
Diana (9m 59s):
It doesn’t always happen
Nicole (9m 59s):
When they don’t have that. 10 years later they didn’t have that. But, and then it’s just so nice to be able to see it clearly laid out with the Blevins children listed first. And they’re all You know they didn’t mix them in. Right.
Diana (10m 13s):
And so, and their ages make sense
Nicole (10m 15s):
Separated
Diana (10m 16s):
For You know children groupings. They’re going right down in age for each grouping of children. So this was a good enumerator. They figured it out.
Nicole (10m 24s):
And you could tell when Barnett died because after the conception of John Isenhour, who’s six and before the birth of Emily Blevins, who’s three
Diana (10m 34s):
Right So I, think we’ve always just felt like it was probably about 1855, 1856, which right makes perfect sense with the birth of those children.
Nicole (10m 47s):
Well, it’s fun to hear all of this household information and kind of what we had from 1850 to 1860. By 1870, the Blevins and Isenhour family had moved to Coryell county Texas. And this time, like I mentioned, the Isenhour children were listed without their surname, Isenhour, and they were listed as Blevins. But the unusual names Texana and California identified this as that same household of the 1860 enumeration in Johnson County, Texas. And Eliza Ann Isenhour’s birth year of 1850 remained constant So. we were able to identify this as the correct family, and they have quite You know some interesting names.
Nicole (11m 30s):
It’s not just Texana and California. I mean, we have Tennessee Blevins and Heel Blevins. So yes, Those were fun names. Well, let’s go through the whole family So. we have Squire Blevins age 45, born in Tennessee, and then Polly Ann Blevins, age 44 in Missouri. And whenever a Mary becomes a Polly, we can rest assured that that’s the same, same person, because that was a nickname for Mary, unless there was another Mary or Polly that the person married. But it’s the same. And then we have Richard Blevins, Eliza and Blevins, Texana Blevins and Polly Ann Blevins and John Blevins.
Nicole (12m 11s):
So those Eliza Ann, Texana Polly, and John. Those were actually supposed to be Isenhour’s. They were listed as Blevins. And then we have Tennessee Blevins and California Blevins, Huel Blevins, Jane Blevins, Martha Blevins, and Jacob Blevins all the way down to age four for Jacob. So wow. Well, soon after the 1870 Census enumeration, Eliza married William Henderson Schultz on July 4th, 1871 in Bell County, Texas. And when New Land opened further west in Brown County, Texas, William applied for a grant from the state of Texas in 1878.
Nicole (12m 51s):
He stated that he is now a bonafide settler upon a 160 acres of land that he believes to be of the public vacant lands of the state of Texas, that he is improving said land as a homestead and has no other. And further that he is a married man and makes this affidavit for the purpose of obtaining a home said land is situated in Brown County. So the survey and the map reveal the location of the land and the neighbors. So that was a cool record to have.
Diana (13m 21s):
Right. Well, I was just gonna say that I love that Texas land record because it’s all digitized in full color and it has the survey map, which is just so neat to look at. So yeah, Texas Land grants are fabulous if you can find those. and I didn’t have this for the longest time until those were digitized and I became aware of them. And it was neat to get one more piece of the puzzle for him because he died so young and left very, very few records. So the land record was really great.
Nicole (13m 52s):
Oh yeah, I guess I haven’t thought about the fact that William Henderson Schultz died young. But it is nice when you can gather even more details about those people who had relatively shorter lives and few records.
Diana (14m 4s):
It’s,
Nicole (14m 6s):
Well, this young family was listed only once on the census with their father William in 1880. So since all the children were born since the marriage in 1871, this is kind of the only time they’re listed with their father. Four children had been born to them, and this awesome census had relationships and birthplaces of parents. So that was nice. But it’s also the first census with a conflicting birth year for Eliza 1848. Perhaps William was the unknown informant and he just forgot his wife’s age. He was like, oh, she’s a little bit younger than her true age of 30. He was like, she’s just 29 forever.
Diana (14m 48s):
Or else Eliza was the informant and she was in denial that she was now 30 You know.
Nicole (14m 53s):
Well, she probably forgot. I keep forgetting my age. So I can relate. That’s true. Isn’t that fun to keep track of your age anymore as an adult?
Diana (15m 2s):
That’s so true.
Nicole (15m 3s):
How old am I? I don’t know. So this enumeration started off with the head of household William H. Schultz, the head of household age 30, born in Texas with parents born in Mississippi. Then Eliza a Schultz the wife, age 28, which we know she was 30 and birthplace of Arkansas with parents born in Pennsylvania and Arkansas. Then we have daughter Mary R. Schultz, age seven, Sarah C. Schultz, daughter age five, William HC Schultz son, age three, and Rosa, a Schultz daughter, age two and a half. And all these children born in Texas.
Nicole (15m 43s):
Well, in 1884, William died of injuries from the horse accident, and Eliza was left a widow expecting another child. Ooh, that would be a hard time to lose your husband. Well, when Henderson Elizabeth Schultz was born on February 17th, 1885, she was named for her deceased father, as you can tell, Henderson. With several young children, Eliza needed to remarry to survive economically on the frontier. Her sister Sarah had also died recently, possibly in childbirth, leaving behind her husband, Jacob Meek and 9-year-old son, James H Meek. With their spouses deceased, Eliza Ann Isenhour Schultz and Jacob Meek, the widower of Sarah Isenhour, got married to each other on July 25th, 1885.
Nicole (16m 28s):
They had a son named Calvin Wesley Meek, who was born in 1887.
Diana (16m 32s):
Well, right after that marriage, they had Indian territory become an option for moving north. And this happened because in 1887, a series of legislative acts of the US government resulted in three federal court divisions within Indian territory, So. we had the northern district, southern district, and central district. And by the late 1890s, all the real authority in Indian territory was held by these courts. So before that, non-citizens could not own land in Indian territory because land was communal property of the respective Indian tribe.
Diana (17m 13s):
And as a result, a lease system was incorporated allowing a settler to lease land from the Native Americans. But under the 1887 General Allotment Act, also known as the Dawes Act, the communal lands of the five civilized tribes began to be parceled out to individual members of the tribe and Indian reservations were surveyed and established. And to qualify for a parcel of land, an individual was required to give their name tribe membership designation, age group, and percentage of tribal blood by inheritance. So I knew that this family all ended up in Indian territory.
Diana (17m 53s):
And of course this probably led to that family lore of Eliza and being full-blooded Cherokee So I really needed to research them and research this move and try to figure out when they actually did move north to Indian territory where they part of the land grab of 1889, did they qualify for tribal membership? Was she really full blooded Cherokee? What about Jacob? So this was a really nebulous part of the family history, figuring out all of this. And one of the main problems was at 1890, census no longer exists. That would’ve given so much clarity to know, you know. Okay, 1890, they’re right there in Indian territory, but instead we only have them in 1880 in Texas 1900 in Indian territory, leaving 20 years of not knowing what’s going on.
Diana (18m 43s):
But we do get some information because when they went to enroll as a member of the five civilized tribes filling out their application and I proving residence in Indian territory, they put down that they had been there since 28, June, 1898. And because the land disputes were so common in this era, there were so many records generated and those all became part of an individual’s enrollment packet. Well, searching for Jacob and Eliza Meek, I found Jacob Meek’s enrollment packet, and he clearly stated that he was one quarter Choctaw and their son Calvin was one eighth Choctaw.
Diana (19m 27s):
And Eliza had no Native American bloodlines and she was a non-citizen. So finding that record was so great because I finally found that little kernel of information that she had married a man who was a quarter Choctaw. And somehow, you know, down the years that story grew or changed, or someone just didn’t know exactly what was happening and started that story.
Nicole (19m 53s):
Yeah, that was a wonderful piece of direct evidence to answer your research question. And we don’t always get that. So it’s exciting when you read a historical record that answers your research question directly.
Diana (20m 9s):
It really is. And at this time period, I looked at a lot of the different Meek family members, Jacob Meek’s surname, as I was trying to figure out, there were, there were a couple other, Jacob Meeks. You know always that thing of trying to identify the correct person among people the same name. and I noticed that there were a lot of couples, a lot of families that were very, very similar, where either the man or the woman was part Cherokee or Choctaw or Chickasaw You know one of the five civilized tribes. But then their spouse was listed as a non-citizen. And so it was just really interesting to see how the families, how the population had blended in this area quite a bit because the five civilized tribes had been out in Indian territory since the 1830s.
Diana (20m 57s):
They’d been there a long time. So You know those records are really fun to explore and just look through.
Nicole (21m 4s):
Yeah. For a client project, I found a treasure trove of information in one of the applications that I found. And it’s amazing some of the records that are attached. I found a divorce record attached and nice. They just had to prove a lot of things. So there were witness statements and all kinds of things.
Diana (21m 22s):
Yes. Because what they would do is they would take the person You know, like Jacob Meek, and they would interview him sometimes two or three times. And that’s all in the packet. They’re trying to see if you’re making up a story, are you gonna tell the same facts over and over and over? Are you really giving the truth here or or what? So you, you get a lot of documents sometimes in those packets.
Nicole (21m 46s):

Nicole (22m 46s):
Well, let’s talk now about the period of Eliza’s life when she’s living in Garvin County. The records showed that Eliza and Jacob Meek and their family came to the Chickasaw Nation Indian territory. By about 1892, they settled in the area that would become Garvin County, Oklahoma in 1907 when Oklahoma became a state, an early history of that area explained that it was known as Washita Valley and it was composed almost entirely of sod. An early settler named Smith Paul built the first home in the 1850s and he began clearing and cultivating the land. He found out that once the sod was broken, the soil produced well.
Nicole (23m 28s):
And so the area began to be known as Smith Paul’s Valley. And by the time the Schultz Meek family arrived, the name had been shortened to just Paul’s Valley. I love that story because of course I’ve heard you talk about Paul’s Valley so much and never would knew the story behind it.
Diana (23m 44s):
I know. Isn’t that fun to kind of learn a little bit more about the beginnings?
Nicole (23m 48s):
Yeah, I I often will look up the word etymology for different words and names and just, it’s something interesting. Well, going back to our story, before the early 1900s, the land in Paul’s Valley had belonged to the Chickasaw nation and could not be personally owned. And a man could farm all he could enclose within a fence or break with a plow. The history of Garvin County discussed the impact of the coming of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1887, and it talked about how a lively settlement grew up in the valley at the Old town site that included a store stage stops a wagon yard and a number of log houses.
Nicole (24m 31s):
The railroad was granted a 50 foot easement on either side of the track that went completely through the Chickasaw nation. The coming of the railroad also meant that there were new settlers coming and that fertile valley soil drew settlers from all over. Jacob and Eliza Meek settled in the small community of Elmore City, the Church of Christ held gospel meetings in a tent or under a brush arbor, and then began holding weekly services in the log schoolhouse. Some of Eliza’s descendants belonged to the Church of Christ. So possibly this was a family affiliation.
Diana (25m 7s):
Really soon after they had moved there in 1898, Eliza died and was buried in Elmore. She had only been in Indian territory about six years, and she left You know a second husband and children with the death of their father, the Schultz children were left parentless, so their father had died in 1884 in Texas from the horse accident. And now their mother has also died and they had all gone to Indian territory. And on the 1900 census are listed there and all but the oldest daughter also married in Indian territory.
Diana (25m 50s):
So with Eliza dying relatively young and her children growing up in the territory, perhaps their stepfather’s Choctaw heritage gave rise to this story that Eliza was a full blooded Cherokee. But the records tell another story. And in 1896, as we discussed, Jacob and his two sons, James and Calvin Meek had applied for and were granted citizenship in the Choctaw nation by blood. And Jacob stated he was a quarter Choctaw and his sons were an eighth Choctaw. And with Eliza listed as a non-citizen with no tribal bloodline we can put to rest that idea that she was full blooded Cherokee.
Diana (26m 33s):
So in this case, this family lore just probably grew out of that little piece of information about Jacob Meek and him being a Choctaw who knows how these things get started. But doing our research, sometimes we actually can find the truth of a story. and I, I know there are plenty of people that have stories of Cherokee ancestors and sometimes you really can’t find any details like I found here that can prove or disprove it. But you never know until you do the research. So I am glad that those records were available and I was able to do the research and dispel that family myth.
Nicole (27m 16s):
I am too. and I think it’s a really good learning case because so many people do have this story in their family history. And so just knowing that it could be false and that there could be a reason why it’s there, but still be false could be helpful for them. And then it could be true as well. And you, you can just do your research, you can do your DNA testing and see what you can find out. But even if you don’t show any Native American DNA, you may still have Native American ancestor further back in your tree because we don’t inherit DNA from all of our more distant ancestors. We only inherit DNA reliably from like up to our second great grandparents.
Nicole (27m 56s):
And then after that, some of them will fall off of our genetic family tree just due to random recombination. Well, I love that you came up with a theory for why this myth was passed down. And it makes perfect sense that with Eliza dying relatively young and her children growing up in Indian territory with You know their younger brothers being one eighth Choctaw and their stepfather being one fourth Choctaw You know they were surrounded by others who were citizens of the nation. So it’s just interesting to think about how they maybe just misunderstood or somebody misunderstood and or didn’t it pass on the information correctly or just people’s memories failing.
Nicole (28m 40s):
But I was thinking about the fact that women were often the vehicle for sharing family history information. And so with Eliza not living to a an older age to pass on family history stories and things to her children and grandchildren, it’s not too surprising that this oral history that popped up was a little bit false.
Diana (29m 3s):
Absolutely. Yeah. I think it’s just interesting that it came down through multiple branches of the family and you just wonder where it got started. Yeah,
Nicole (29m 11s):
There was somebody who was either just exaggerating the information and I think there’s some sort of sense that it would be cool or interesting to be a Native American or to have a Native American in their family tree. And so who knows,
Diana (29m 30s):
You know. You just never know what motivates people. And so it’s totally possible that maybe there was a reason why they wanted to say that You know she was full blooded Cherokee.
Nicole (29m 41s):
All right. Right. Well, great research. Thanks for writing about this. It’s wonderful to have these profiles of our ancestors that you’re writing, and it’s just great to have the research put into a nice format with the footnotes and to fully documented So I hope our listeners who are thinking about writing about their families can also think of ways to write short biographies or profiles of ancestors that they’ve researched and be able to preserve the stories for the future.
