Assuming she was age 18 when Alexis was born in 1784, her birth year would be about 1766. We will use this date until a more accurate date can be found. She died around 1834 as discussed earlier.
Looking over these dates, it would be impossible for Pushmataha to be her father. Pushmataha was born in 1764, and there is no record to connect him to Pistikiokonay or Simon Favre, who was born in 1760. We have many records on Pushmataha, to include his wives and children, in our files if needed.
In our book "The Favre Family," published in August 1989, Special Issue #7, by the Mississippi Historical & Genealogical society, Biloxi, Mississippi, pages 35 - 38, we stated that Pushmataha was the father of Pistikiokonay. This information was based on oral tradition as told to us by some of Simon Favre's elderly descendants in 1988. They had no records to support their claim and we ASSUMED they were correct. As the above proves, Chief Pushmataha was not their ancestor. While we were relatively inexperienced, had few records to work with, and had our doubts at that time, we went with their stories. So how did those elderly descendants think Pushmataha was their ancestor? Pushmataha was the last "Great Chief" of the Choctaws and much was written about him. The fact that he died in Washington, D.C., and has a large government monument by his grave, also enhanced his legend as a Great Chief. Anybody with a drop of Choctaw blood in them, claimed to be a descendant of Chief Pushmataha!
Franchimastabe was also a very important Choctaw Chief in this area, but was from a generation earlier as this report explains. His reign was from about 1750 to the late 1700s. One would be hard pressed to find anyone today (Choctaws included) that ever heard of Chief Franchimastabe!
It is rare anybody can track down the source of a mistake. In this case, we are the guilty ones! Now our error, via the internet, has spread everywhere. WE hope people will read this paper and correct their ancestry charts - sorry folks.
Another big mistake we made in our 1989 Favre History was that Simon Favre (1760 -1813) married Pistikiokonay, also known as "Annie V. Luellen," as told to us by one of Simon Favre's elderly descendants. This story is found on pages 74 - 77 of our Favre History. We have since learned that this is completely wrong. In November 1995, we received a letter from Sidney R. Sandifer, a long time researcher of this "Llewyellyn" family. He sent us enough information that we are convinced our Pistikiokonay is not in any way connected to Annie V. Luellen.
Many of the records cited in this paper, and relating to these families, have been scanned into the "Memories" section of each individual's page on FamilySearch.com. Also, we have "notes" typed at the bottom of their pages with additional information.
In our Favre History of 1989, we have found a number of errors over the years. Since then, we have corrected many of them on the FamilySearch.com web pages, and in this report. We would like to give a special thanks to Ms. Jennifer Mieirs. She is a specialist in the study of the Choctaw Indians and helped us tremendously.
