She was listed as a resident in the census report on '1855' Choctaw Rol l,
Kiamitia Co., Choctaw Nation, IT, NOV/DEC 1856. ANNIE BURNEY FACTS & SP
ECULATIONS There is a very strong probability that Annie Burney is the mis
sing daughter of David Calhoun Burney and Lucy James. On the 1840 Mississi ppi
Census, David Burney is shown to have three female children livi ng in his
household. Two of these females are known to be Amanda and Sus an Burney. The
third young female has no where been identified. The earlie st known Indian
roll after the 1840 census that last the names of all t he family members on
which the David Burney family appears if the so call ed "1855 Choctaw Roll"
which was actually made in late 1856. There is no " third" daughter on this
roll which would fit with the "young female" of t he 1840 census. Recently
early manuscripts written by Peter Hudson, neph ew of early Choctaw chief
Hudson, have come to light. In his notes concern ing the families of the
various early Choctaw chiefs, he comments th at in 1849, Ben Smallwood married
a Chickasaw woman named Annie Burney. Si nce there is only one known Chickasaw
Burney family in existance at this t ime in Chickasaw history, it is to be
assumed that Annie Burney is in fa ct the missing third daughter of David
Burney. Another family story has su rfaced that indicates that Annie Burney
may have been a sister of David Ca lhoun Burney and not his daughter. All that
can really be said is that s he is in some way related to David Burney, part
Chickasaw, and a descenda nt of the Colbert and Allen families. Until further
evidence is discovere d, she will be carried as David's missing third daughter
based on the 18 40 Census information. "Chronicals of Oklahoma" article,
(Vol.XIX, No.3, p .213), about Choctaw Chief Benjamin Franklin Smallwood,
states that his fi rst wife was Annie Burney, a Chickasaw woman of the house
of Ima-te- po of the family of Okla-pa-nubbii.
