Hello, I am new to this list and looking forward to exchanging family information. Seeking families of MARTIN, HOWARD and HURT. Henry Clay Howard came to Cherokee Co., before 1900. Resided in AR and Barry Co. MO, prior to his arrival. Purchased property in 1808-09 in Hulbert. Most of his children raised around Nugent Prairie. Henry died in 1912 in Hulbert. My interest is his wife Amanda (Melinda) Martin b. 1849 AR. d. 1925 Ponca City, OK. Amanda, had 2 children by her 1st husband MR. Hurt. Margaret A. Hurt b. abt 1864 MO married a Mr. Jackson in Barry Co., MO and William Scott Hurt b.abt 1868 in I.T.OK believe William Hurt resided in Cherokee Co., till his death may have married Rita? Possibly lived around Tahlquagh. I would like to find out more about him so I can go on with my research. Amanda Martin siblings: Niccie Martin may have married a Noah Melton, William Henry Martin, James Martin, Dick Martin and Brown Martin. They may have resided in AR around Boone Co.? The Martin's are Cherokee. Amanda's father may be William Martin (Hoolie Bill). Any help with research in this county greatly appreciated. I have several stories from family with regard to them living in Hulbert. Sandra Howard
