Footnotes:

1. Jeff WILLIAMS Sr also went by the name of Jefferson/Jeff COTTON. He self-identified as 1/2 Choctaw blood and applied for the Dawes Roll as a Mississippi Choctaw. His said that his father was more than half, his mother half and her mother, Juna, was full blooded and lived with the Indians.

2. Jeff WILLIAMS Jr also had a son named Jeff with his first wife, Rose DANTZLER. I have given this third generation Jeff the title of Jeff WILLIAMS III just to avoid confusion between the three.
