Hi ALL- I am "cross-eyed" right now from looking at all the data most of the a.m. that i found....as i found a new source today and been in this while i was looking for more data on my husband's BURRIS & ABLE(S)line. There is a great source of data here that a woman no longer with us on this earth named Mary Turner Kinard had done. I spent hours looking for clues on all the census and marriages she has copied there..for IT and OK late 1890 and into early 1900's. I never looked in the Counties listed there as i was only looking in one County before or the Chickasaw Territory, but there are numerous BURRIS & ABLES here.... http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgarvin/kinard/stephens1900cena.htm For one, i find on this 1900 Chickasaw Territory, Stephens Co. census: There are 6 ABLES in one family shown there shown at 317-259. Also, above them shows 3 people in 1-4 and they may be ABLES too, but does not show last name?!? It shows: HA Head White Male b.Dec1871 28 y.o. Married-1 b.MO parents b.TN TN and he is Laborer Willie WIFE b.May 1879 and 21 y.o. Married-1 b.TX parents b.MS b.AL has 1 child Pearl E dtr b.Apr 1900 0 y.o. b.IT parents b.MO TX Who are these 3 living in 1-4???? Anyone willing to help or have access to the original?? My husbands g grandmother was Willie May ABLES and m. Walter Lee BURRIS. I have a copy of their marriage certificate but also found them in this great database in of all places under Chickaswa Marriages from Ardmore Courthouse in Groom Index 1895-1907 Book G p.178. It shows alphabetical under B grooms: Cumberland - W L BURRIS 23 m. Willie ABLES 18 5 Mar 1903. P.S. post any viewpoint after going there on the list for all to see what or who you think the 3 are. Thanks. Have fun....Happy Trails, Joan in rural MT Also, visit my 4 personal home pages on spirituality and genealogy: http://www.geocities.com/crystalwoman_2000/roots.html crystalwoman@montana.com
