William DUKES>Acadia>1755&Gilbert DUKES, OK b1849
I came across an online biography about Chief Gilbert Wesley DUKES, son of Joseph DUKES and Nancy COLLINS and grand-son of William DUKES "a white man of French-English extraction" from Acadia in 1755 and Nancy WADE, of "Choctaw Country,MS."
Gilbert Wesley DUKES was the tenth in a family of 12 children. He married Angeline Wade.
The long biography of Chief Gilbert W. DUKES with his photo appears on page 53 and 54 in the "Chronicles of Oklahoma," Vol 18, No 1, March 1940 by John Bartlett Meserve.
Chief Gilbert W. Dukes was chief of the Choctaws in OK ca. 1900.
