Need Help with Dawes Choctaw Records and Postulated Family Members
If you might have familiarity with this topic [and the time to invest], I could really use another set of eyes on Susanna Patterson and associated family members. As is typically the case, pretty convoluted. It all needs a thorough review. Right off the bat, I'm not happy with some of the ages. I'm tempted to say that 'Sibbie' shown is really 'Lucinda Frazier' also shown. I think I'm pretty close on some of it, but still issues remain… Thanks…

I am not sure what help you are asking for but you could start with the many pages of information located on FamilySearch Wiki for the Choctaw nation which includes: vital records, and the University of OK Indian Pioneer papers. FamilySearch has over 260 pages of records of interest. Access Genealogy a free website has a large amount of information available on the Choctaw Nation. Choctaw nation Genealogy research is available. It states it is there to hellp you determine if you are a member of the Nation. I also found a source called OKCHOCTA which is a free genealogy website for the Nation.

@sc woz Thanks for those resources, some of which I was not familiar. It's a genealogy specialty area in which I find Full Text Search to be a real game changer especially if you have a Dawes enrollment number to work with. A large number of records which FamilySearch has in their database have not been indexed and the records are in very generic collections such as Pittsburg County 'Misc Records'. Thanks again
