I'm sorry, I forgot to say that Chickasha, Oklahoma, was in Indian Territory. My grandparents were married there in 1899. LaDonna Hinch Michigan

There is a website that lists cemeteries for the whole USA & I believe, Australia.....it has RoseHill Cemetery in Chickasha, Oklahoma, listed on that website. I don't have the website marked for access from work & my home internet phone line is down with the snow storms; so, I am sorry that I cannot make that link for you; but, it is there. Maybe someone on this list has the address that they can post the hyperlink to enable you to search Rose Hill Cemetery yourself. Good Luck, LaDonna Hinch, Michigan

ynonamarie wrote: "--- sorry but this is all i have on them. I'm grasping at straws" Marie- Would this information help you: the month/year of birth of William Tucker's parents and where they were born, his month/year of birth, any sibling that he had who were older than he and where they were born, how many times each of his parents had been married, how many years in this marriage, how many children born to his mother, how many of these children then living, and what state or country his grandparents were born in? This information will take a little personal effort to obtain, but should be well worth your effort! Since William was born in 1898/99 in I.T., you should be able to identify the family on the 1900 Indian Territory census Soundex, and this will show you exactly where to locate them on the 1900 Indian Territory census, which will list the information stated above. These records are NOT "on line", but can be rented on microfilm through any public or LDS library in the United States. I did not find a town named "Rosehill" in "Oklahoma Placenames". jc

these are some of the family of tuckers who had land taken from them on tucker mountain i put a message on list but no dates i have just one william bill tucker born 1898-99 rosehill indian territory their was father was william robert tucker mother was barbara patrick sorry but this is all i have on them i`m grasping at straws thanks for your kind help ( MERRY CHRISTMAS)

Hi: I'm looking for Ferguson and Schuessler people buried in Grady CO, OK, probably in Rose Hill Cemetery in Chickasha. Anyone have any information? Thanks, Sandi Carter

The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) of the US Geological Service shows a Canadian Fork and a Canadian Shores as being populated places in Oklahoma, but no Canadian Switch. Both Fork and Shores are shown to be in Pittsburg County.

Hello, all - Have any of you ever heard of a township or location called Canadian Switch? A relative of mine wrote about meeting a man in Canadian Switch, Indian Territory, in 1894. I'm trying to find out where that was. Thanks in advance! Regards, Nancy Parnell [email protected]

If any of you are members of one of these new tribes who say that they "have applied to the BIA to become federally certified" and wonder what that means- go to http://www.doi.gov/bia/mowanew.htm and read a case history: "Summary Under the Criteria and Evidence for Final Determination against Federal Acknowledgment - Mobile - Washington County Band of Choctaw Indians of South Alabama". It's very interesting because it shows how far the BIA goes into these claims. jc

Here is alist of Forts but I'm not sure of the dates. These are taken out of book @1941 Oklahoma- Oklahoma writers' projects Arbuckle 1851 Camp Mason 1835 Camp Sharon Fort Cantanment 1879 Cobb before 1862 Coffee before 1858 Davis short peroid during civil war Doaks Stand Edwards was first called Gibson Holmes 1834 McCulloch 1862 Nichols before 1860 Reno 1875 Sewell's Stockade 1870's Sill 1869 Spunky Supply Townson 1824 Washia 1842 Wayne

Listers, Thanks to all for sending me messages on my question. I have another question: What forts were there in Indian Territory before 1856? Web sites URLs welcome. Tim Walls

Dear listers: I haven't posted here in a few years. I am searching for clues to my 2x Great Grandmother. Does anyone know of a possible Quaker woman named Jane ARMSTRONG or of any other Quakers who might have come to this territory from Philadelphia to work with the Indians here? I need to document the travels of my Irish great great grandmother from Philadelphia to some place around here. Supposedly my Irish great great grandfather, Matthew GREEN brought Jane back with him to New Mexico in the late summer of 1856 after taking a furlough for about five months. Matthew was a soldier in the U. S. Army in New Mexico Territory and I've always wondered just where he took his furlough, which lasted from about March to August of 1856. Matthew was in the 3rd Infantry of the U. S. Army, serving under various captains, including Capt. James Noble Ward and Lt. Alexander Early Steen or Alexander Early Stein. Another captain was named Capt. Clitz. So if anyone can help point me in the right direction for looking up activities of Quaker missionaries in the territory here let me know. Thanks! TWW

I am looking for info. on Sheriff Cowan in 1800 to the late 1800. I think he was one of first Sheriff in Indian Territory. Think you, Silverfox

I give up on FTM sometimes. The easiest way to do this is copy it here I think and maybe it will ring bells somewhere else. GEROGE YOUNG b 1789 Where? died in 1861 Henry co Mo. He married Rachael who was born in 1785 in Tenn. Child: Mary Polly Young b 1808 in mo, died 1848 MARY POLLY YOUNG married Jacob Shultz fon of Peter . He was born in 1802 in KY and died 1867 in Ark.

Someone will find me there too eventually I expect. They married21 July 1901 in Ark.

Homer A Land of Republic Mo 2 Oct 1920 in Bentonville Homer was born in Republic Mo 2 March 1900 and died on the 3rd of March 1981 in Mesa Arizona Children: 1 Catherine Janette Land lived only 2 days in 1935 2 Ardith Jane Land (me) 2Theodore Young Crittenden b 1904, Bentonville d 1940's He had several children, one of whom was also Theodore Young Crittenden, called TY. He died about 2 years ago in Washington. The Young name has been carried on for so many generations that there must have been regular contact between the families. Clearly they were there in Mo very early before any roll were taken. The also clearly moved easily between Missouri and Arkansas and Mississippi, all Indian Territory early on and always populated by Cherokee and others of the 5 tribes. The Crittendens traditionally have Cherokee blood and my cousins whose gggranfathers were three of the sons of William Land from SC, believe that there is Cherokee heritage there too. They married with no problem into Native families,e.g. Martha and John Carney and my father and mother. My mother clearly was of Cherokee origin too, as am I and my grandson. Brothers often married sisters, it happened several times in my family, and named their kids after each other and the siblings of both families. I have pictures of Polly and Mary Young and of Edmond Carney and his family. You might also check with Steve Shults, a cousin who has info on the family too. [email protected] Note the Francis Marion in the Shults/Young line. Coincidence?? Sorry to take so much space but it sounds to me like a strong link exists here and maybe we can put part of the puzzle together. God Bless, Jane

Hi, Do you have a Thomas Henry Young, b 1862, with a brother Nat(haniel?), anywhere? We don't know much about my g-g-grandfather except that he had a brother, Nat , who was a sherrif on OK after the land rush, and he married a Chickasaw woman, Evie Odom, prior to 1900. There's a story that he had athsma and spent some time in Mexico, but I think it might have been TB. Thanks in advance for any info you might have. Regards, Shandy Voyles

I am not sure about the Youngs origins but I have Young ancestors from Dent co Mo and that line leads on down to the father of my great grandmother who was most definitely Native American. Cherokee was the only name ever mentioned in the family and I assume that anyone making that kind of move would have been Cherokee. Email me privately at [email protected] and we can compare notes on the Youngs. Sounds like they could have been related. Cheers. Jane
