Help!!! I'm am trying to trace my great grandfather and have hit a brickwall. This is what I know. John Flynn was supposedly born in 1867 or '69. According to the 1900 Oklahoma census he was born in the state of Illinois . I know that he lived in the Choctaw Nation in 1892 w/his first wife, Ida Reynolds, around Featherston because that is where their children were born. He married his second wife in 1898 and their children were born around the Centrahoma and Coalgate area. John is reported to have died in 1909 in the Coalgate area and is supposedly buried in the Nixon cemetery near there. I've looked through old newspapers for a record of his death, but no luck. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what I might try next. I'm trying to find who his family was and how he came to be in Oklahoma. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sheryl
