There is nothing in any record to suggest that Zachariah Allen was Choctaw. He was born in Tennessee, a place the Choctaw did not live. He received several grants of land from the U.S. government in Mississippi in the late 1830's after the Choctaw were removed. The land he purchased was land that was taken from the Choctaw. If he actually was Choctaw he could have taken a reservation of land in Mississippi through the 1832 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit and if not he would have been Removed to Indian Territory. He consistently appears on records of white inhabitants of Mississippi.
