Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1149 Surname: PICKERING, HEWITT, BASS, BROWN ------------------------- Has anyone ever heard of a place called Pickering's Prairie? It was located in the Hewitt area in 1879.

Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1148 Surname: LOVE, SMITH, UMPRYS ------------------------- The Murray County Sheriff's Office has recently recovered 3 stolen tombstones 1 mile south of the Murray/Garvin county line. The stones are small enough for a man to carry, weighing about 75 to 100 pounds each. I went to the Sheriff's Office and photographed the stones. The names are: LOVE, Richmond, died May 1, 1912, Age 76 Years; - SMITH, Mellisa,(note odd spelling) died June 25, 1916, 1863 - 1916; - UMPRYS, Jane, died Aug 12, 1876, Age 25 Years, d/o A & C UMPRYS. It is assumed that all 3 stones were stolen from the same cemetery. I have contacted the co-ordinator of the Garvin County OKGENWEB and we are currently working to locate a cemetery with these three surnames but have not had any luck. Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone on the list? We need to get these stones back to the proper cemetery and out of the Sheriff's 'evidence locker'. Any leads would be greatly appreciated - Dennis

Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1142 Surname: COFFMAN, STANFORD, DUNN ------------------------- Seeking information on parents of Ardelia Canzada Stanford. Ardelia Canzada Stanford(b. April 10, 1873) married Lovell Lee Coffman III. She died in Carter Co., Oklahoma in Jan. 28, 1925. Her daughter Lavera Coffman (who married Noah Dunn) was my great-grandmother. Through study of census records, I believe her parents were William Stanford (b.

Aug. 1883), Minnie L. Stanford (b. Feb 1886), and Coleman Stanford (b. Sept. 1888). According to census records Memphis Stanford lived in Murray Co., Ok in 1920. My grandmother states that the Stanfords might have been part Native American. According to census records they may have originally come from Georgia or Alabama.

Does anyone have a connection to a Canzada Cooper that married a J.D. or James David Rich in Wayne County, Tennessee, about 1873. They moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma and had at least one son, named William Rich. William Rich had a daughter named Ethel Rich Cesa. I need a connection to anyone of this family. Thank you.

I am searching for relatives of my Mom that she called "Cousin Jeff" (GRIFFIN) and "Cousin Alice" (I presume GRIFFIN). I 'think' the husband of Alice GRIFFIN was named Ben Coe. Mother wrote that she traveled by train from Ardmore, OK to visit her GRIFFIN relatives in the early 1900's possibly as late as 1910. My Grandfather was Thomas A. GRIFFIN who died when my Mom was a small girl. These were the only Griffin relatives she ever knew. I would very much like to exchange family information with descendants of this GRIFFIN family.
