This is the only picture I have of my Great Great Grandpa, Josiah Looney. From L to R: Josiah Looney, George Barney Looney, and unknown Creek Indian. Josiah was in the Trail of Tears. There is also a bunch of his paperwork in the Creek Council House Museum in Oklahoma. Josiah became a Creek judge. I remember seeing a pair of leg irons that Josiah had broken in an attempt to fight the people who were forcing the removal of the Indians from Georgia.
I believe we have a connection with this picture. George Barney Looney is my great great grandpa. Josiah is my grandpa. My name is Mattie Looney and I’m from Dustin, Oklahoma.
