GORM THE OLD OF JUTLAND, King of Denmark. He died in 936 but acceded the t
hrone of Denmark in 899.

Gorm married THYRI KLACKSDOTTIR (or Thyra of Jutland) who was born about 8 80
and died about 935. She was the daughter of Klack-Harald of Jutland, Ki ng of
Jutland. Klack-Harald also had another daughter named Thorny.

Gorm lived at Jelling, about 940, with his queen, Thyri of Jutland, who se
runic memorial stone honors her as Danmarkar bot (Denmark's restore r) - a
distinction which tradition attributes to Thyri's improvement of t he great
rampart, the Danevirke, along the southern frontier. The inscript ion reads:
"King Gorm made this memorial to his wife Thyri, Denmark's rest orer." Gorm
was a traditional Viking had a wooden burial chamber bui lt in a huge mound at
Jelling. It was a double grave, doubtless for him a nd his wife. Connected
with this mound, which still exists (as of 1965), t he Danish archaeologist
Dyggve has traced a large triangular plot of grou nd framed by upright stones
marking a consecrated place. It can be assum ed that Gorm died sometime in the
940's; we know no more of him. One descr iption of a marriage celebration,
"thereupon he ordered the tables to be s et out, and sent people all round in
the neighborhood to invite plen ty of guests; and the same day there was a
good feast which was also Halfd an's marriage-feast with Ragnhild, who became
a great queen. Ragnild's mot her was Thorney, a daughter of Klakharald king in
Jutland, and a sist er of Thrye Dannebod who was married to the Danish king,
Gorm the old, w ho the ruled over the Danish dominions."

Cautionary Note: May be same person as Charles Colbert, having taken the s
urname Juzan after his fathers death.

Mother was full blood choctaw,while her father was 1/2 choctaw, making h er 3/4
Choctaw. Mother is the Daughter of Chief Oklahoma, nephew of Chi ef
Pushmataha. Phoebe was cousins with Leflore's thru their mother the Cra vat's
who are also nieces of Chief Pushmataha.

The following is an excerpt from the book, The Creek War of 1813 and 18 14 by
Halbert and Ball, from Chapter III, Tecumseh amongst the Choctaws a nd the
Cherokees.

"It so happened that same day that Oklahoma, a noted mingo from Coosh a, a
nephew of Pushmataha and brother of Juzan's wife, was in Chunky wi th a number
of his warriors. "

Charles Juzan and Pierre Juzan

When reading the notes of H.S.Halbert, and the paper on the Creek War writ ten
by H.S. Halbert and Ball in the 1890's, it is curious to note that Pie rre
Juzan, named as a leader by the authors is described in a manner th at 
curiously parallels what is known of the life of Charles Juzan. As a c
onsequence, in various records the son of Charles Juzan, also named Pier re
Juzan is sometimes annotated as the son of Pierre Juzan. In fac t, it is more
than likely, for some unknown reason Charles Juzan and Pier re Juzan as
referenced are the same person. Juzan was a trader who lived a mong the
Choctaw, son of Pierre Francois Juzan, known as "Don Pedro", t he only child
of Pierre Gabrielle Juzan who was killed by the Chickasa ws in 1735-1736, and
Margaret Trudeau, who died within days after the birt h.. The mother of
Charles Juzan is not known. It is commonly accepted th at he is the son of Don
Pedro Juzan and an unknown Choctaw woman, some s ay sister to a chief, others
say perhaps a Miss Rochon. Other family file s, at both the LDS and Oklahoma
Historical Society list the name as Shank e, but descendants of Eliza Ann
Flack, daughter of Charles Juzan stat es it was her mother that was the
daughter of Shanke, further complicati ng the issue.

Some researchers, because he had a known relationship with the legitima te
family of Don Pedro believe he may have been the son of Don Pedro and h is
wife Catherine Parant. It is felt, Don Pedro had a son, named Pierr e, of
which little is known, some also think based more than likely on acc ounts of
the Creek war, that this son was a full brother to Charles. It ca nnot be
clear at this point to verify the issue, however, the facts of t he residences
of Pierre Juzan, time of his death, and the migration of h is children as
given by H. S. Halbert exactly mirror what is known of Char les Juzan, and
would suggest that the man he speaks of is in fact Charle s. The question to
be asked may be, not that two men existed, but did Char les Juzan in fact go
by the name of Charles, while his actual name was Pie rre. The name of John
Charles Juzan has also been seen used by current res earchers, yet, all
records that have been found refer to him only as Charl es.

As to the issue of his being part Choctaw, it is known that he married a s
ister and daughter of Oklahoma (see under the section on his wives and chi
ldren), was an accomplished trader, spoke English, French, Spanish and Cho
ctaw, had several residences, among them the ones in Coosha and Chunky tow ns,
and that he attended treaty negotiations and signed at least one treat y, more
than likely three. He did benefit from the land "gifts" under t he supplement
of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, choosing his reservat ion in what is
now Washington County, Alabama. While some of the white m en who married into
the nation signed the treaties as interpreters, Juz an was never acknowledged
in this role, and most of the men, if not al l, to the knowledge of the
author, were at least part Choctaw, it is mo re than likely the belief that he
was part Choctaw is correct.

To further complicate the issue of Juzan and his family, his relationshi ps to
his children, and his wives is frought with rumor and seemingly cont radictory
evidence.  Phoebe Juzan, seen as Phebe in court documents claim ed dower
rights for the estate of Charles Juzan after his death in 1838. T he settling
of his estate took about 2 years, and from the notes of Loret ta Coppick, a
Juzan descendant, only three of his eleven children seem ed to benefit the
most, and several were not named at all. Some of those n amed gave their
interest to Eliza Ann Juzan Flack, and others to Phoebe. A lso, in 1840,
Oklahoma gave to Phebe, and then upon her death the childr en of Charles Juzan
land in Lauderdale County, MS under the trusteesh ip of Hugh McDonald. In the
document, three children are not named, but n ot the same three that benefited
from Charles estate. Untangling the infor mation, and coming to an appropriate
conclusion has been difficult. Addi ng to this difficulty, is the family
information handed down by Eliza A nn Flack who stated she was the youngest of
eight children, and that her m other was Peggy Trahern. Some of the
information in this oral tradition se ems to be untrue, as will be discussed
below, but the issue of her stateme nt about her mother must be assumed to be
correct.

To discuss the entire issue the best place to start would be to first li st
the children of Charles Juzan. They are
1) Pierre Juzan, most sources say  born in 1793, he died as Choctaw Chi ef
succeeding Nitakechi in Indian territory in 1841. However, I doubt he w as
almost 40 while at the Choctaw Academy as Johnson calls him a "boy" mo st
likely he is 25 or less, which makes him born between 1805-1810.
2)  Delilah Juzan, born ca 1798, died in Atoka County, IT in 1859.
3) Mary Juzan born 1799, died in Ofahoma, MS in 1868.
4) Rebecca Juzan born 1804, died in Atoka County, IT in 1854.
5) William Juzan, born ca 1805, died unknown, presumably in IT.
6) Jackson Juzan born ca 1808, died 1841 in IT.
7) Lucy Juzan, born ca 1809, died after 1855 in Atoka Co. IT (Boggy Depot)
8) Ramona Juzan, born ca 1811, died between 1840-1855 in IT.
9) Narcissa Juzan, born ca 1814, apparently remained in MS, death date unk
nown.
10) Eliza Ann Juzan, born 1819, died 1890, Atoka Co, IT.
11) Sybbell Juzan, born ca 1821, died unknown, believed to be in IT.

H.S. Halbert, states that Jack Amos stated Oklahoma was the brother of Juz
an's wife. According to a testimony he gave in 1844, Oklahoma stated his a ge
was approximately 60. Even with the estimation, he was more than like ly born
1780-1784. The mother of the older children, would have been presu mably at
least 14, which would give an estimation for her birthdate of 178 0, easily
corresponding with the birthdate of Oklahoma. Phoebe Juzan wa s, as is
believed by most, and according to the same oral tradition by Eli za Ann
Flack, the daughter of Oklahoma. This I have considered and at fir st
accepted, but have now changed my mind, due to the ban on marrying yo ur own
Iska. For an explanation of what I mean, visit here.

As the exact year of birth is estimated on most of the  children, the poss
iblity that she is the mother of three of the children, Ramona, Narcissa a nd
Sybbell is feasible and plausible. Interestingly enough, the same thr ee
benefit the most from the settling of Charles estate.If the statement t hat
Eliza Ann Juzan Flack was the youngest of eight children is to be beli eved,
then she must be the youngest of the children of her mother, Peggy T rahern.
That would leave the next three youngest children having a differe nt mother.
That would make Peggy Trahern the mother of Pierre, Delilah, Re becca, Lucy,
Mary, Jackson, William, and Eliza Ann. As such, the sist er of Oklahoma who
was married to Charles Juzan would have to be Peggy Tra hern. Interestingly
enough, Peggy did have two children, James N. Trahe rn born 1816, and Jeremiah
Trahern between Lucy and Eliza Ann. During t he time of 1812-1815, Charles
Juzan was fighting in the Creek War and th at must be when the indiscretion
occurred. Apparently, the relationship d id survive long enough for the birth
of Eliza Ann, but by 1825, Peggy Trah ern was living outside the Choctaw
Nation. This will be discussed furth er under the discussion of the Trahern's.
As traditionally within Choct aw society, the inheritance came from the
maternal uncle, but Greenwood Le flore had been discouraging the practise, and
the statement of Eliza Ann F lack cannot be disreguarded entirely.

As to the confusion on the inheritance, there is perhaps an explanation th at
researchers have failed to consider. From the limited amount of court r ecords
the author has seen, it is apparent that after his death, the reser vation of
Charles Juzan was seized, and Phebe had to go to court to cla im her share
rightfully as his widow. Loretta Coppick states in her not es that the
following children were not named at all, Rebecca, Lucy, Delil ah, and Pierre.
In the deed from Oklahoma, the children of Charles Juzan n amed are  Pierre,
Delilah, Mary, Lucy, Jackson, Rebecca, Eliza Ann, and Sy bbell. The names of
William, Narcissa and Ramona are omited. An explanati on of this can easily be
found if one considers that under the Treaty of D ancing Rabbit Creek, the
following children had reservations, William a nd Pierre were named in the
supplement as persons allotted their own reser vations, Lucy had the
reservation given to Wesley Trahern, Rebecca the o ne given to John Bond,
Delilah had her reservation through her inclusion u nder Article 14. Since the
will and the deed both obviously omit some of t he children, perhaps the
settling of the estate, and the granting of the l and was an effort on the
parts of all involved to ensure that each h ad an equal amount of land or
property, and not a way to shun one child ov er another.

As mentioned, the statement from as of yet an unknown source, that has oft en
been accredited to the descendants of Eliza Ann Flack, must be addresse d, as
while most of it is true, some apparently appears to have errors.

Chief Pushmataha was succeeded by his nephew (his wife's side) Oklahoma. P
ushmataha had a sister, Natona. Natona had a daughter Shanke. Eliza Ann Fl ack
is the great granddaughter of Natona. John Charles Juzan married two n eices
of Pushmataha, Peggy Trahern, and Phoebe, daughter of Oklahoma.

The statement that Oklahoma was the nephew of Pushmataha contradicts the s
tatement of Jack Amos that Nahomtima was the mother of Oklahoma and Juzan 's
wife. Secondly, as discussed above, given the time frame, Shanke wou ld have
been significantly older than Oklahoma to have been the moth er of Peggy
Trahern, additionally, there is a Shanke on the Armstrong Rol ls near
Oklahoma, living alone, suggesting that a sister of Peggy named Sh anke could
have been alive, as well as the mother of Jack Amos.  I have be gun to suspect
that whomever made the quote was unknowledgeable about t he traditions of the
Choctaw, and was repeating an oral tail. I wond er if in fact Shanke isn't the
Indian Name for Peggy as well. To put th is statement in context, Pushmataha
is felt to have been born around 176 5, claiming to be in his sixties at the
time of his death in 1825. Oklaho ma was born 1784, and Peggy sometime around
1780. For Shanke to be Peggy T rahern's mother, she would have been born
around 1760, and would have be en older than Pushmataha, and her mother would
have been born around 1740- 1745. While it is possible that this all occurred,
it must be noted th at of Eliza Ann's four grandchildren (full sisters) on the
Dawes rolls, th ree claimed 1/16, and only one claimed 1/4, which is a closer
estimati on of the actual degree of blood. Perhaps in the retelling some facts
we re misconstrued. Also, as the daughter of Oklahoma, Phoebe would have be en
the grandneice of Pushmataha, and not considered related at all in trad
itional Choctaw lineage.

As to the rumor that Phoebe and Peggy Trahern were french indian, that app
arently is in error. Based on the information at hand, it would appear th at
the angelicized names of the women most likely occured after their rela
tionship with Charles Juzan occurred, and that both women were full choct aw
who Choctaw names have apparently been abandoned  in history.

Mary may not have been the mother of Sophia and Sarah.

Questinable as to whether the Shanke he was married to was the same as t he
sister of Pushmataha.
