Parsons, worked at an oil field in 1920 in Carter County. He was on the 1920 census with his wife, Iris, and their 3 boys: Burke, Eugene, and Alfred. I couldn't read the township name, but thought it may have been 'Hewett'. Anyone know anything about Hewett and the oil fields that might have been there? I would also like to know anything about Alfred I can find. His full name was Alfred Aaron Parsons, born 13 Dec 1916 in Oklahoma. He was Superintendent of Schools in Paul's Valley Oklahoma for a while... He also adopted at least 3 children, 2 that belonged to his wife (name??) and a son that belonged to his nephew. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Lisa
