    1. [OKCARTER-L] Old Court Records
    2. scrimshire
    3. I need some help. I need to find some old court records of Carter Co. My grandfather Alph Wallace had Hunnington's Chorea. That is a inherited disease. Alph's father (Joseph N. Wallace/Wallis) had it. Joseph and his wife (Rebecca Emeline Morris) moved to Carter Co. about 1892. I think I have found Joseph N. Wallace in the household of his son (William Riley Wallace) in the 1900 census. I have been told that this disease was thought to be insanity at one time. When my grandfather got bad with the disease they went to court and had him sent to Griffin Hospital at Norman about 1923. I would like to find the court records on him and perhaps on his father if there are any. Can some one tell me where I can find these records? I would really apreciate the help. Mell
