Since you have her parents names from the SS application, you might want to try to find them on the 1900 US census of Indian Territory. There is a Soundex available, and its a good thing!

My own first birth certificate for 1927 first read born in Caddo Co. and the later copies say I was born in Canadian Co. Don't expect much accuracy, either, for then. My sister born in 1921 sent for her birth certificate in high school and it gave her name as Oleta Isabell, instead of Cornelia Elizabeth. The folks said it was a stormy night when the doctor phoned it in. She had it changed, but my brother born in 1919 never had his changed. Caddo Co. has a web page off of the OK Gen. page.
