In 1860 a census enumerator from AR came into Indian Territory and listed some (not all) of the non-Indians who were living here at that time. This list has been published several times, and the original can be found at the end of the 1860 Yell County AR census microfilm, which is available nation-wide through your own public library for about $3.00 per month rental. I also understand that someone has it posted to a web-site on Internet, but I can't remember the address right now. I'll have to find it and post it later. jc List Owner > to my knowledge the first census for the indian territory was in 1900.
