Hi everyone! I posted a search on this site in January 2001 but I ran into a brick wall and need help!!!! I am still trying to find out more about my great grandmother Caroline Pearl? Wilson or Pearl Caroline Wilson. She was born 1890 or 1892 near Lindsay or Erin Springs, Indian Territory. She was supposed to have a roll number. Her mother Rebecca Pearl? Kitchens married James Wilson and was supposed to be American Indian. Rebecca was born in Texas but I don't know when and where and which Tribe she could have belonged to. James Wilson was born in Ireland (Scotch/Irish) and served during the Civil War for the Union. He was married before in Arkansas. But there are so many Wilson out there. Caroline's older brother was William Wilson born 1884, don't know where. Can only be Texas or Indian Territory. Her younger brother was Bryan Wilson born 1895. Rebecca died during Bryans birth. I don't know where they lived until 1910. They are named in the 1910 Census living in Harrison Township except James Wilson. He must have left after Rebecca died and the children lived with relatives. I've got some information about a Pearl Caroline Wilson, age 2, Chickasaw newborn. Census card #154 Dawes Enrollment # 134, but I don't have a date on this and don't know where to look up the newborn census. I know Caroline married Columbus Coleman Brown at Sandy Grove School, Grady County in 1911.She died 1941 and is buried in Washington, McClain County. Is there any way to trace birth records from 1884 - 1895 near Lindsay or Erin Springs? And how can I find out more about Rebecca Kitchens in Texas? I am new to this and don't know all the resources out there. Please!! any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim

Jim- According to page 201 of the official "Final Rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes" (published by the U.S. government and not a copy or transcribed version), the Chickasaw Newborn's ages were calculated "As at March 4, 1905" and since this person was shown as two years old, she would have been born in 1903/04. If your ancestor married in 1911, then I think we would be safe to presume that this is not your ancestor. In 1911 she would have been only 8 years old. Have you tried the 1900 U.S. census of Indian Territory? jc
