My great great grandfather Edward Keith HURD originally married Margaret Luticia Malvina Fox(x). I have seen her name in two places, my grandmother's bible, and her headstone. We were told she was an Indian. She is born, according to census records. (I have not seen her on a census, she misses them all, just my great grandfather says she was born in Texas on one census, and Edward Keith says she was born in Texas in another census) Edward Keith HURD's mother is Eliza BOON by the way, of Howard county MO. Edward Keith is the freight hauler in the Chickasaw Nation. Apparently my family still owns 1,000 acres near Tishomingo. It was passed from Edward Keith's first born, my grandfather, and from there to Robert Manning Hurd's first born, Eva, and then to Eva's only child, Jimmie Ruth WARD. I only found this out recently when I called Jimmie Ruth and talked to her about her grandfather, (my great grandfather) I at one time thought that Margaret was a Sac Fox, based on migration pattern and timing, and the fact that our family also owned 160 acres in the Sac/Fox Nation. Now I am not so certain. There is an entry in O'Beirne's that especially fascinates me. William FOX (Chickasaw) William FOX was born in Robinson County, Texas, in 1853, and came to Indian Territory in 1870. Soon after his arrival Mr. Fox went to work assisting his father to open a farm east of Stonewall, on what is known as Deer Creek. After eight years of diligent labor he married Angelina Manning, daughter of Dr. T. J. MANNING, of Caddo, where he was for some time afterwards employed assisting his brother in the mercantile business. In 1881 he left Caddo accompanied by his wife and made his headquarters at Los Vegas, New Mexico, for twelve months. From thence he traveled to San Francisco, Victoria (British Columbia), and Seattle, finally "checking up" at Snowhannich City, Washington Territory, where he made his home for nearly four years. In 1886 he moved back to Los Vegas, and after a stay of fifteen months returned to the Indian Territory and opened a confectionary establishment at Purcell in 1887. The following year we find him in the agricultural business, and opening a farm, eight hundred acres of which he now has in a state of cultivation. In 1890 he moved back to town and established a billiard and pool hall, which now engages his attention. Mr. Fox has spent a good deal of time and money in traveling, but does not appear to regret it in the least. [What an adventurer!!] Nalora
