Many thanks, Jack, This was exactly what I needed. I've got the land pinpointed on the section map that I have. This was part of the last 6 1/2 miles of Cleveland County that opened in a run in 1891. It was Pottowatomie Indian land. All of the Indians had been alloted 160 acres and what was left became the rest of Cleveland County. Like I said earlier, my great grandparents (Loveless) were about 4 miles west of yours and my other great grandparents (dau married Ed Loveless) lived 2 west and 2 back north of yours. Small world. If your folks were anywhere near that area in 1889 it was still Indian Territory so your grandfather could certainly have been born in Indian Territory. Lou Ann
