Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/1288 Surname: Elliott, Brown ------------------------- Well Jackie, there weren't many records prior to Statehood. Unless I'm mistaken, the 1900 census is posted on the Love County forum (I should say hot-linked). Healdton wasn't the County seat for Carter CO, it is Ardmore. The County seat for Love CO is Marietta. That is where most records will be. Healdton was part of the Chickasaw Nation prior to Statehood as was Love CO. You may have some trouble getting everything you need. There are some folks in the area that most likely will respond to this quiery to provide help for you.
