I have the book, but don't find Hezekiah in it. ( don't find any Colemans in any of Don's books.) There is an "H. Coleman" in the B.F. Curry detachment that went West in 1831-32.  I think that man was "Henry" Coleman, not Hezekiah. He's listed with a family of 2 males under 10, 1 under 25, and one female under 25.  That's from Jack Baker's transcript of the Emigration Rolls.   That is clearly a different family, because the Cherokee-connected Hezekiah's family are on the Drennan Roll meaning they emigrated after 1835.

The text of the profiled person appears to be a muddle, the man in the profile is not the Hezekiah who married a Cherokee woman. The treaty that's quoted applied to the Cherokee who went to Arkansas between 1811 and 1826, so wouldn't apply to someone who went west in 1831-32.  

The first Hezekiah Coleman connected to the Cherokee was a white man married to a Cherokee woman named "Que-di."  It appears they married in Indian Territory after Removal. Their children were Sagee, Patsy, Betsy, Redwaters, Nute, and Hezekiah, Jr.   Here's a link to Hezekiah, Jr's Eastern Cherokee application:  https://www.fold3.com/image/221207049  His parents died in the Cherokee Nation in the 1860's, never lived in Mississippi.

There were several men named "Hezekiah Coleman" who lived in Georgia in the 1820's and 30's, looks like it was not an unusual name.
Thank you so very much!
