Hi, Over the past two years I have met four "cousins" seeking information on the Archer family who were early settlers of Tulsa. My Ggmother was Mary Elizabeth Archer, b. 1857. Her obit said that she was a white woman and was b. in Paris, TX. I found out that was an error!. She married John Lowrey Oct.22 1877, probably around Stilwell, I.T. I learned through the Tulsa Gen. Society that she and six brs. were born in Sebastian Co. AR. However, one of the latest cousins to arrive on the scene says that she and the two youngest brs, John Wesley and Thomas Jefferson Archer were born to a second wife and were born in Indian Territory. Much has been written about T.J. (Jeff) Archer as one of if not the first merchant in Tulsa. I have some documentation that he was 1/16th Cherokee. Mention is made of him in a number of books about early Tulsa or Tulsey. I have one article that says he was born in the village of Frozen Rock, I.T. in 1859 and was orphaned at age 7, raised by a Muskogee family named Stokey and sent off to school in Missouri. He then came back and opened a tent store to sell supplies for he railroad. Does anyone know where Frozen Rock, I.T. might be, or might have been, and where I might be able to find out any information on this village. There seems to be some credibility to this story that there were two separate groups of children born to James Archer and one wife and James Archer and Mary Ann Key, or vice/versa. While the Archers have been well known in Tulsa, tracking their earlier ancestors has been most challengign. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Keith Lowrey
