James Garland II, son of John Garland I and his Choctaw wife, was born in Mississippi in 1803 and died in 1870. He was buried in Little Sans Bois Cemetery in what is now Haskell County, Oklahoma. James and his wife came to the Choctaw Nation with the first group of Choctaws in 1832 and settled at a place later called Valliant in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. At this location he and his wife had eight sons named as follows: Joseph G. Garland Sr., Ward H. Garland Sr., Peter Garland Sr., Isaac Garland, James Garland III, Joel Garland and Cornelius Garland. In about 1886 or 1887 for reasons unknown he moved to a new location accompanied by all his sons except Cornelius who remained near Valiant where he died. The new location previously selected was in what is now Haskell County, Okla., about eight miles NE of the present town of Stigler, Oklahoma. Apparently he lived with his father, Joseph G Garland Sr. until his death in 1870. No record of his wife as to when she died or where she was buried.
