Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1024 Surname: Lofton, Burney, Van Sant ------------------------- Well Lydia my father used to tell the same story except it was his great grandfather who was done away with by the commanches. Your list of names: Frank, Will Jr. are the same names as my father and his grandfather. I notice you do not list Burney as a surname. My grandfather William David Lofton Jr. married Ada Bessie Burney in Gainsville,Tx. Ada Bessie Burney was the daughter of Edward Sehorn Burney of the Chickasaw Nation. What gives ?
