GOVERNOR BENJAMIN FRANKLIN OVERTON AND GOVERNOR BENJAMIN CROOKS BURNEY
By John Bartlett Meserve
It was not until the winter of 1844 that David C. Burney and Lucy James, his wife, Chickasaw Indians and natives of Mississippi, accompanied by their family and some eighteen negro slaves, undertook the removal from the Chickasaw country in Northern Mississippi to the old Indian Territory. The approach to the West was made by steamboat up the Red River. The boat bearing the emigrees paused at Shreveport, Louisiana, where a son was born to the Burneys on January 15, 1844. This son was Benjamin Crooks Burney, named after Capt. Benjamin Crooks, the ship's genial captain. The Burneys settled at what is today, Burneyville, Love County, Oklahoma, where the father engaged in farming. The mother passed away in 1845 and the father died shortly after the Civil War.
