My grandfather came out of IT... he said his children were part Cherokee (some say Choctaw)... he is in AR by 1884, but where did he come from? They are listed in the 1900 census Garland Co, AR Hot Springs Township as follows: Roach, James M. b. 12/1866 age 33m. 15 years b Indian Territory Henrietta, wife, b. 8/1863 age 28 born in TN Ida Bell, dau. b. 4/1887, age 13 born in AR David C., son b. 5/1889, age 11, born in AR Jesse A., son, b. 11/1891, age 8 born in AR William M., son, born 4/1895, age 5, born in AR Pessie Lee, dau. born 1/1893, age 7, born in AR John S., son, born 8/1898, age 1, born in AR Boyd, Alford W., brother b. 3/1872, age 28, single, born TN [common laborer] Boyd, Fannie M., mother b. 9/1841, age 54, widow, had 7 children, 5 living born in TN listed as housekeeper. 1910 census of Garland Co ROACH, JAMES 50 married 1 time 25 yrs. b OK, parents b OK Henrietta E.

He might have been from an "Intruder" family, although one census indicates his parents were from OK. That would be 1830 1845... who was there then? I am thinking we may never know the answers.
