that I have trouble keeping them straight, but I subscribe to each new one in the hope that I might get lucky and find someone who can tell me more about my ancestors. Can anyone out there help?? I would certainly appreciate any/all information that would point me in the right direction to further my search!! This is what I have so far---------- G-g-grandfather Joe (Joseph?) RIDENS *****No further information on Joe or spouse G-grandfather Benjamin Franklin "Frank" RIDENS *****b. 1851 in TN., d. 1932 in Madill, Marshall Co., OK. *****m. (#1) Georgia ESTER (E-STER, EASTER) ca. 1871 at unknown location. *****Georgia was possibly a full blood Native American of unknown tribe. *****m. (#2) Nancy CARR (?) ca. 1900 at unknown loc, possibly OK. *******Known children of marriage #1-- *********Docia Ellen b. 1872 in TX *********Joseph Jackson b. 1878 in TX *********Benjamin Franklin "Frank" (Jr.) b. 1880 in TX *********Arthur Robert (my grandfather) b. 1882 (location unknown) *******Children of marriage #2, as per 1910 Miracode (OK census)-- *********Cara b. ca. 1901 in OK. *********Earl b. ca. 1904 in OK. *********Goldie b. in OK. (no age given) There are indications of other children born to either/both unions, but I have nothing to substantiate the births. In 1910 "Frank" RIDENS (Sr.) and his family were in Marshall Co., OK. and my grandfather Arthur Robert RIDENS and his family (wife Minnie Lee PECK, and children Willie (d), Della (d), and Clide (s) were in Caney, Atoka Co., OK. Some of the listed info is documented, but most of it is just gathered from family sources. I will, however, be happy to share anything I have to anyone connected to this line. Sooooo, many thanks to any/all who can provide any additional information on my line, no matter the amount, and thanks to all on the list for assisting those that you can help. All take care and stay safe and well. Don Hutchins Murrieta, CA.
