KNOWN PARENTS OF RAYMOND MOORE ALVIS B. MOORE, from ILLINOIS; DOB: approx. 1865 (Conflicting information provided in Raymond's "Affadavit of Birth" that was written in approximately 1929 in Kansas, says his father, Alvis Moore, was born around 1865 and was from Idaho - no other information provided. Idaho and Illinois are quite a distance from each other.) GEORGIANA (Anna) Gumm, from KENTUCKY; DOB approx 1888 (Conflicting information provided says Raymond's mother, Georgianna (Anna) Gumm (or Gum), [listed on the "Affadavit of Birth"] is orginally from Carhill, Kansas; Brown County. A big difference from Kentucky.) (It would be wonderful to know which information is correct!) From the 1910 Census of Jasper County, Duval Township in the State of Missouri: taken May 9, 1910 http://windthruherhair.tripod.com/1910-Moore_family.jpg Al Moore, age (approx) 45; Father from Canadian England (meaning the part of Canada under England's control); Mother from Indiana Annie Moore, age 22; Both Father and Mother from Kentucky Two sons listed: Raymond, age 3; Born in Kansas David Alvis (or Alvis David?); age 2; born in Missouri Updated information from the 1920 census, provided by Mrs. Britt, to whom I am also forever grateful!! ----------------- From the 1920 census, a son of the correct age is named David. 1920, Neck City, Mineral Twp., Jasper Co., MO. Moore, Al age 55 Moore, Anna A age 31 Moore, Raymond age 14 Moore, David age 12 Moore, George age 9 Moore, Alma age 8 Also from Mrs. Britt: I have an Al Moore, his wife Laura and three children under 10 in the 1900 census for Galena, Cherokee Co., KS. Since this is only 22 miles from Neck City, MO, Jasper Co., it is highly likely that this is the same person - especially considering that they both worked in mines. This one claims Nov 1866 as a birth date with both parents born in IL. I was unable to locate any info on the wife and children after this census, and since Alvis and Georgia married about 1905, it is possible that something happened to his family between 1900 and 1905. In 1900, Galena, Cherokee Co., KS, I find the following, who I believe to be your Alvis: Moore, Al - born Nov 1866, age 33. Married for 10 years. Born in IL as is both of his parents Occupation: Miner - hoister. Moore, Laura - born Jan 1875, age 25. 3 children born, 3 living. Born MO. Father born IL, mother born MO. Moore, Claude - born Sept 1890, age 9. born KS Moore, Ida Mable - born Feb 1893, age 7. born KS Moore, Nola Hazel - born Nov 1897, age 2, born KS In 1910, I find the family, minus Al, and a big fat "D" in the marital status for Laura. They were located in Vinita City, Craig Co., OK, 48 miles from Galena, KS, and a further 22 miles to Jasper Co. - all on a Northeast direction. Moore, Laura A. age 34, divorced. Occupation: dressmaking at home Moore, Claude E., age 19 - no occupation Moore, Ida M. age 17 - Laundry worker Moore, Nola H., age 12 - no occupation I did find an oddity that I am still looking at. I found a George and Addie Moore in the 1880 census in St. Clair Co., IL. They had children: Mary, George, and what I see as Olvis and the transcriber saw as Olin. Olvis/Olin was 13, putting his birth date correct for the 1900 census with Laura.. The odd thing is that the mother, Addie, was born in Canada - which would explain the Canada entry in the 1910 census - even if it was for the wrong parent. (Another one of those common things that make genealogical life difficult.) I'm going to try to trace George and Addie, and see where it goes. Who knows. The crappy part is that most of the 1890 census was destroyed. That would have been very helpful in your family. --------------------- From the 1930 Census of Jasper County, Duval Township in the State of Missouri: taken April 18, 1930 Alvis R.

My grandfather was a Johnson and all I remember of his mother was her name was Polly "Jane" Crutchfield and she was a little woman and very dark and what stood out the most was that in her age she still had black hair, not a gray one showed. I was a kid when she died so I don't remember much. Grandpa Johnson went through his whole life never having his CNO card but yet Polly had all her daughters enrolled. Grandpa Johnson was in his 60's before grandma got him his CNO#. He was never much for his family and I do not remember anything of them coming around but in the back of my memory I seem to recall contact from a sister at one time. When grandpa and grandma died they had an old picture of one of his family that his sister sent to him and the name on that picture was Ketchum. Grandpa was born at Big Cabin so if you think they may be related to yours then I would be glad to dig out that picture and send you a copy.

I am trying to find information on a 107 year old mystery. Here are all the details. The things I need look ups for are; Frank Burton- any census, birth, death, marriage records- he may have been colored, I assume he was born in about 1870 (this could be incorrect), and had a son with a white woman, Mary Headley (this information was on his son's application for the Social Security Act), who was later murdered for being married to another black man. Ed Chalmers- anything prior to March 1898. He was at one time a resident of Lonoke County Arkansas (according to newspaper articles concerning his death), before moving to a town or place "near Wybark" in IT. Mary Headley (may also be Burton or Chalmers)- between 1892 and her murder in 1898. May be in a census record with Frank Burton, or with her parents, Lewellin (also known as David), and Sarah Headley, and/or maybe with brother Lewis Headley. The following newspaper articles may give someone clues about their whereabouts that someone who has never lived in Oklahoma would overlook. I am desperate to find more info about what may have led her to be a victim of a mob murder. Thank you for any information any of you can provide. Patty Headley Ft. Gibson Post Vol III No 23 Saturday March 26, 1898 (Part 1) Abstracted / Transcribed by Linda Haas Davenport MAN AND WIFE SLAIN. A Horrible Crime Committed by a Mob Near Wybark. - Sunday night last a mob of six heavily armed men went to the home of Ed Chalmers, colored, near Wybark and called for him to come to the door. He refused and the men then pushed down the door and began firing into the bed where Chalmers and his wife were sleeping. Chalmers jumped from the bed and rushed to the men to defend himself, but the mob grabbed him. He wrenched himself from their grasp and was trying to escape through a window when some of the mob on the outside grabbed him and proceeded to riddle him with bullets. When the neighbors arrived on the scene a sickening sight met their gaze. Chalmers was lying face downward literally riddled with bullets, and covered with blood and was barely able to speak. In the house was his wife who was already a corpse, and the entire floor was one mass of blood. Chalmers died Monday morning, but before his death he gave the names of the men who he recognized in the mob. The next morning a Mr. Matthews, who was about 50 years old, and who has resided at Gibson Station, I.T., for some time, was found dead near the railroad, only a short distance from the scene of the crime, with a bullet hole through his body, and some weapons lying near. He answered the description of one of the men who Chalmers described as being in the mob, and upon investigation it was found that he had been shot at Chalmers house, doubtless accidently, and carried to the railroad by his pals, who after finding that he was dead placed the weapons by his side in order to convey the impression that he had killed Chalmers and his wife. Chalmers, who was a colored man, formerly resided in Lonoke county Ark. He came to the Territory some time ago and recently married a while girl named Headly, and it is thought that his marriage to this girl was the cause of the brutal double murder. SEVEN MEN ARRESTED. Marshal Bennett of Muskogee has caused the arrest of seven men who are charged with this crime. They were Ed Burns, Laton Sparks, R L Mills, Robt. Blalock and one Smiley all of whom reside at Gibson Station. Lamon is a prominent young merchant of Gibson Station and Gains is the depot agent of the M.K.&T. railroad at that place, while Burns and Smiley are employed on the section.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1898. A MOB’S HORRIBLE WORK. ­­­­­­­­­­____________ A Saturday Night Tragedy Wherein Three Lives Were Lost. – Bungling and Brutal Work of Assassins. A few miles north of Muskogee, between the Arkansas and Verdigris rivers, is a strip of country that has been the scene of many a dark deed and brutal murder in years that are past. It has at different times within recent years been the rendezvous of desperate and daring outlaws and criminals, and has always been regarded as a tough section. But in the annals of all the crimes in this section that which sustained the record last Saturday night was perhaps the most uncalled for and brutal. Ed Chalmers, a state raised negro, was living in a little hut not far from Wybark with a white woman by the name of Mary Headley. They were said to be married and certainly claimed to their neighbors that they were man and wife. So far as is known they were both harmless and peaceable residents and were industrious farmers. The fact that a white woman and a negro man were married and were living as man and wife grated on the nerves of some of the residents of this section. This was but natural. The manner in which these neighbors took to show their dissatisfaction over this disgusting alliance was, however, most unnatural and uncalled for. A few of the near residents, all supposed to be white persons, assembled Saturday night and during the rain and storm proceeded to the humble home of these poor ignorant sinners and transgressors of the law, and literally murdered them in cold blood. The details of the tragedy that took place at the lonely cabin in the woods on this dark night are not as yet fully known. The results of the raid were clear and distinct however. Jim Mathews, one of the parties composing the mob, was found dead the next morning by the M., K., &T. railway track, a mile from the scene of the killing. Weather killed by accident by one of his own party or by the negro man in defending his life is not known. The white woman was shot to death in her bed and her negro consort was shot all to pieces, though he lived until nine o’clock Sunday morning. Here was the fatal error in the work of the midnight assassins. The negro man, the only human being on earth who saw and knew of the frightful raid, was not killed. Before he died he made a dying statement in which he named several parties as the guilty ones. Early Sunday morning a messenger came running into Muskogee and informed the officers that a man and woman had been killed across the river. Scarcely had this messenger departed when word came that another man had been found near the Katy track with a bullet hole through his body. Deputy Marshal Ross Reeves was at once dispatched to the scene of the triple tragedy – the man who was found at the track was evidently shot at the house where the two other parties were killed – and instructed to find out all the facts so far as possible. Strange rumors of the complexity of certain white citizens in the horrible affair soon grew into reasonable certainties, and the actions of these parties on this night, the findings of their dead companion and the dying statement of the dead negro, all coupled together, formed a web around certain parties that justified their arrest. Bright and early Monday morning Marshal Bennett was on the ground and in conjunction with his deputies arrested Ed Burrows, section foreman at theWybark: his two assistants, R. T. Mills and Robert Blalork:C. W. Gains, station agent at Gibson, and W. A. Lamott, a merchant at Gibson. All are white men and heretofor have borne good reputations. Rumor has it that others are also suspicioned., but we refrain from publishing names as we desire to do no one an injustice. These five men were taken to Wagoner Monday morning and arraigned before the grand jury. What the result of the grand jury investigation was we have not yet learned. Excitement at Wagoner and the settlements across the river was at it ’s height all day Monday and Tuesday and is by no means abated yet. The parties who stand charged with the frightful killings have many friends who insist upon their innocence and many theories to advance for the occurrence of the terrible tragedies. One thing is certain: it will only be a short time until all the facts are known and the guilt placed where it belongs. No such crimes as that, with the many circumstantial clues, can ever be hidden, and a few days, at most, will place the whole affair at rights. For the good name of the Indian Territory and the Northern District in particular, it is to be hoped that the guilty ones, whether they be the ones now charged or others, will be speedily detected and as speedily punished. It matters not how grievous was the crime of the negro man and the white woman, they certainly afforded no excuse for the wanton butchery of the mob and those who imagined they or society were aggrieved knew or should have known that was a lawful way to reach those who violate the laws of the land. There is no excuse under heaven for the midnight raid and murder and each and every participant is equally guilty for the lives of all three who perished that most foully on this night and as a consequence of this mob assault.

Old subscriber -- here is my family. It includes a lot of information, a lot of question marks, and a little guessing, so be warned, and be patient :) -- Before my first ancestors to arrive in Indian Territory went to Arkansas, they were here -- http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/scott/church/stonycrk.txt in SW Va. Nevil Wayland Jr was church clerk of Stoney Creek Primitive Baptist Church. If you research it you'll find it was th first recorded church where the word "Melungin" was used in 1813 (I am descended from Nevil Jr's brother WilliamWayland). The most recent research on the Melungeons has shown "some of these families" to be descended from "Piedmont Siouan" people -- Saponi, Eno, Monacan, Tutelo, Saura/Cheraw, and the largest group, Catawba. I believe many of these people were later called "Cherokee" mistakenly and are just now discovering earlier records from colonial days. One man wrote the Melungeons were the "friendly Indians" who came west with the first settlers. ============ Here it mentions my Wayland's as helping organize the first Methodist church in Arkansas territory. Notice the first pastor was Eli Lindsay. http://www.couchgenweb.com/lawrence/church/walnmeth.htm At the link below is an article entitled "The Beginning of Methodism in Indian Territory" and it speaks of that same circuit pastored by Eli Lindsay, saying another church was of tha circuit was on th west bank of the White River basically, making it inside Indian Teritory as it was defined between 1818 and 1828. Therefore it was the first protestant church amongst the Cherokee in Arkansas. http://digital.library.okstate.edu/Chronicles/v007/v007p475.html I found 2 of my Wayland's stationed at Fort Gibson (first cousins to my direct ancestor) I believe the year is 1832. Found one Wayland still at Ft Gibson in 1836. I have not seen any records after 1836. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgs/roster_of_beans_rangers.htm ======================== Oscar Richey (grandma's brother) is mentioned a the link below. He wrote the family story of living in Intian territory to someone who interviewed him. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/pioneer/index.htm Dad was A.O. Hawkins (1915-1992). His father was Noah Allen Hawkins and he & grandma married 1904 near Loco, Chickasaw Nation, presnt day southern Stephens County, Ok. Grandma was Lona (but I never heard her called that, everyone called her "Loney") Richey Hawkins. We don't know why grandpa was in the Chickasaw Nation in 1904. Why'd he come up here alone? He was here in 1904 as that's when they married, but how long had he been here before that? He was born in Falls County, Tx in 1877. Noah's parents were Joshua Allen Hawkins (b. Al 1837- d. Tx 1892) and Elizabeth Mary Ann Byrum (b. NC @ late 1840s, d. Tx 1926). Jeffrey Hoten Richey (1851-1926) was my great grandpa. His wife was Jospehine Brown (1852-1932), m. 1872. Josephine's parents wre Harriet Guess (1818-1886) and David B Brown (1822-1865). Jeff's mother was Sarah Ann Wayland, cousin to the 2 Wayland boys in the Army at Fort Gibson from 1832 to 1836 at least. That's about all the surnames in my direct line I expect to find in Indian Territory. Other names are Woods, Hamilton, Looney, Joiner, McNutt, Dickson, Black. Oh, my John Woods is in Blount Co., Tn from mid 1780s (when he was a child) to 1806 (he lived there through much of that troubled time when there was a lot of warfare), and Glass asked permission for "John Woods" to be given a passport to ply his craft of 'blacksmith" near Lookout Mountain at least between 1801 and 1803. It might be the same John Woods as he was an adult by then), but I can not be certain. But John's father was Joseph Woods b. Albamarle Co., Va 1745. That is the same county where Thomas Jefferson recorded in 1755 spotting some Indians going to a mound on his lands, staying a while and then leaving. John Wods married a Hamilton girl and they moved to Rockbridge Co., Va in 1768-1770. part of Rockbridge later became Amherst Co, Va. That is the site of the Virginia state recognized Monacan tribe today, and 2 of their most commom surnames are Woods and Hamilton. They were once called "Buffalo Ridge Cherokee" by a 19th century anthropologist but that has been proven to be in error. Now my Brown's. On 1850 census Harriet gives her place of birth as Alabama. On 1860 and 1870 she gives Tennessee and on 1880 census she says Georgia. On 1850,60, and 70 census she is in Arkansas census but in 1880 census she is with her eldest son John Brown and his wife listed as "Sis" and they are in what the census records as "Hokes Bluff/Turkeytown", Etowah Co., Alabama. I read "Sis" was short for "Narcisus". I never have found John H. and Narcisus (aka Sis) Brown after that 1880 census, but I haven't looked hard. John and Hariet (listed as John's mother) are the exact right age to be my great grandma's brother and mother so I am pretty sure it is them. To confuse things tho as to where Hariet was born, my great grandma on 1900 census of Chickasaw Nation lists her mother as being born in Mississippi. On 1910 and 1920 Oklahoma census she also says her mother (Hariet) was born in Mississippi. So different census record say Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia or Mississippi. I think she said that in 1900 because she was thinking of the Chickasaw Dawes allotments knowing the Chickasaw came from Mississippi, but then they never applied for Dawes, knowin' they were not Chickasaw. But that is just a guess. Vance Hawkins ps 1 -- In "Indian-Pioneer Papers my great uncle said his parents lived in Indian Territory just inside the line on the Arkansas River, not far from Fort Smith. Then he says he doesn't know if they were in Sequoyah or Le Flore County, after they got married in 1872, saying he didn't know which side of the Arkansas River they lived on. Now they were not there long as in the 1880 census they are in Denton County, Tx, and came back to live in the Chickasaw Nation in 1889. I was told the 1890 census in the Chickasaw Nation doesn't exist any more. I bet they were in the Choctaw Nation (Le flore County) because family story says in an old Bible my great grandma wrote that her first child, Charlotte, died when she was about one year old in the Choctaw Nation. At most they lived there from 1872 to 1879. I was wondering if it would be possible to find a record of this anywhere other than what my great uncle said in Indian Pioneer papers, and a family story about what was written in a Bible that doesn't exist any more, to the best of my knowledge. ps 2 -- I talked to a Catawba genealogist who was interested in my family story and said several Catawba families did come to Indian Territory but that noone knows what happened to them. I probably can't connect mine to them either, tho, but I wonder about it. He said they went to live in the Choctaw Nation and just dissapeared after that. One other thing I am curious about. When I was in the 7th or 8th grade, I took "Oklahoma History". Later I saw online and rememebred. Sixty-nine Indian tribes came to Oklahoma, and now there are 38 or 9 federally recognized I believe it is. Where can a person get a list of the other 30 or so tribes? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerri (Rogers) Chasteen" <jerri@cherokee.net> To: <Indian-Territory-Roots-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 09, 2005 6:00 PM Subject: [IT ROOTS] New Subscribers > To the new subscribers to Indian Territory Roots- a sincere and hearty > "Welcome". > > To the "not-so-new" subscribers- since at least 25 new people have > subscribed in the past couple of weeks- why not welcome them by posting > our own Indian Territory families, and see if someone can make a > connection? > > > Jerri C. > "List Mistress" > Indian Territory Roots > > > ==== Indian-Territory-Roots Mailing List ==== > For instructions to unsubscribe and list rules, click on > http://www.rootsweb.com/~cherokee/welcome.html > List owner: jerri@cherokee.net Archives: > http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ > > >

Enjoyed your website! It sounds so much like my husbands' family. Our Wilson's were also in "The River Trail, A Saga of the Cherokee Removal". Our Wilson's were from the Bradley and McMinn Co. TN area. Another of our lines is the Hildebrands. We are from Nannie Hildebrand and I believe one or two of her half brothers or nephews married into the Ward family. I saw that there were Wards in Zena, IT. We believe our George Wilson was the blacksmith there for awhile. If it is okay, I would like to email you with some questions after my husband finishes his vacation. Again, great website!

Suzanne said: My Cherokee/Scottish/English families include: Grant, Cunningham, Paden, Miller, Lynch, Moore, Landrum, Hicks McCoy, Martin, and Emory on my father's side. My mother's side is Daniel, Robbins, Pettit, Post, Ross, Henley, Taylor, Buffington, Emory, Fields, Walker, Ward. They all lived in the Cherokee Nation of Indian Territory and of course in the old Cherokee Nation in the east. I think that pretty much covers the waterfront... Suzanne Grant Griffith Suzanne- You'll have to forgive me, but have we talked before? I host seven websites, three genealogical mail list, two Cherokee message boards and I loose track of who I have - and have not talked to on my families. I presume that your Hicks, Miller and Paden lines come down through Catherine Marie Hicks- (b/1789-- daughter of William Hicks and Lydia Halfbreed). Catherine first married Andrew Miller (8 children), then following his murder, she married Thomas Gann (4 children), then after his death she was briefly married to a man named Ferguson (no children). Catherine and Andrew's daughter, Elmiria Emily Miller (b/12 Jul 1816) married Benjamin Paden (b/3 Oct 1793 in VA) and they had 13 children. Catherine Marie had one full brother- George Hicks, who was one of the Trail of Tear Conductors. She had fourteen half siblings, children of her father, William, by his second wife- Sarah Foreman. Is this (basically) the same information that you have?
