James A. Jennings was born in Wynnewood, Oklahoma in 1920. His life was one that left him remembered as a jurist, scholar, and historian who preserved and recorded the proud history of the Chickasaws.

Edmund Pickens' dedicated service to the Chickasaw people led him into several leadership positions throughout his career. He served as the first chief of the Chickasaw District of the Choctaw Nation in 1841 and became the second controlling Chief Financial Official and Treasurer. Because of his popularity, he was elected Tribal Captain in 1847.
