I have 2 areas of interest. 1. Henry Clay Howard purchased property in Hulbert 1908-09. He along with his wife Amanda, owned a hotel there. As the story goes Amanda fed a posse of 300 that had the Cook gang held up in a school house. Would love to know more about that. 2. Amanda was b. 1849 in AR. She ran off with an Indian boy at about 13 or 14 and married. His name was William Hurt. Their 1st child Margaret was b.abt 1865 in MO, 2nd child William Scott Hurt b. abt 1867 in I. T. Mr. Hurt was shot and Amanda married Henry Howard. Henry is buried in Hulbert and Amanda is buried in Ponca City, OK. Amanda's father was named William Martin (Hoolie Bill) he was from Tenn. I feel her family would have been Cherokee and in the area. I do know her sibling's names. Also, her son William Hurt owned a farm in Cherokee Co. I am hoping someone knows of this family. Oh, her children by her 2nd marriage to Henry Howard were all raised in and around this CO. I have all of their data. I am hoping some of this rings a bell with someone. Sandra Howard
