Lafayette is listed on the Dawes Packet, Mississippi Choctaw, MCR762

Occupation: Cattleman

The Ikards were among the first ranchers in North Texas to fence their land but because they left large gaps and gates, they were never troubled by fence-cutting. The Indians also left them alone because the Ikards employed several Indian cowboys and paid Quanah Parker a fee every month for protection from raids.
