Help. Someone sent in a site for "hometown," and my email on that vanished into oblivion. Would you please send that again? Thanks, Bob Marden

Friends, does anyone out there know where one can access the Social Security Death Index other than ancestry.com. I mean free sites. I understand there is more than one site to access the SSDI. Apparently, the SSDI is not completely accurate. All recorded deaths after 1961 are not there. Any help appreciated. Sincerely, Bob Marden

Here's my WILLIAMS line: 1. Daniel Huffman Williams b. TN. 1857 d. Creek Co., OK 1936 married Amanda Christian ? b. MO 1866 d. Mannford, Creek Co., OK 1929 2. John Wesley Williams b. Warrensburg, Johnson Co, Missouri - 1888 d. Drumright, Creek Co., OK 1954 married Martha Sadie Pence b. West Plains, Howell Co., Missouri 1888 d. Tulsa, Tulsa Co., OK 1969 3. Lawrence R. (Wes) Williams b. Mannford, Creek Co., OK June 11, 1918 d. Bristow, Creek Co., OK May 26, 1989 married Clara Maxine Williams in Drumright, 1942; she died October 17, 1994 4. Kathy L. Williams b. Borger, Hutchison Co., TX, 1958 Anyone sound familiar to anyone? I understand Daniel and Amanda came to Oklahoma in the Land Run. I don't know anything about their ancestors yet. Thanks in advance.

Creek Co. is only about 10 miles North of Paden. But you might keep this in Mind, if this was before 1907 Paden was in the Creek Nation. Also in the census Paden was listed as Creek twp. Since it was Creek nation that is probly the reason they had to go through the Creek Suborinate Chief. Ona

Kathy, Thanks for the location of Paden. Unfortunately, my Great Grandfather's farm was five miles Northeast of Paden and said to be in Creek County. In fact, he leased property there from Creek Nation Subordinate Chief Jackson Night. Of course, those county boundaries may have changed since the late 1880s, but I believe Creek County's boundary was just East of Paden. Do you know anymore about this??? Thanks for anything you can offer. :-) Sincerely, Eric Clay Johnson ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Williams <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 17, 1999 7:22 AM Subject: [OKCREEK-L] Paden > Hi, all!

I think we've had the Dawes Rolls looked at before, but its worth a shot... Helen Wiley b. 8-Dec-1876 d. 22-Apr-1956 married John Edward Thompson in 21-July-1897. We suspect Helen is part-Indian. I've looked at some of the Native American sites, but can you recommend one or two that are better than most?

The Ellis' I'm researching right now is Viana Ellis who married Will Leverett in or around St. Jo, Montague Co., Texas. I found a Viana Ellis (age 12) in the 1880 Census of Montague Co. Parents were Sarah A. and William J. Ellis both born in Missouri. I believe Viana is buried in Bristow City Cemetery and was interred on 26-Aug-1935. (I found her listed in the cemetery records but I haven't found the tombstone yet.) Viana and Will Leverett had 9 children, with their oldest; Rebecca b. 1888 d. 1985; being my great-great-grandmother. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 14, 1999 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OKCREEK-L] Indian Territory There was a 1890 territorial census for Ok. and you could check the 1900 soundex.

Here's a handy page from the OKGenWeb page. Check it out. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/locatetown.htm

Here you go. Pretty handy site. For a town, just enter 'populated place' from the list. I also tried 'cemetery', but it didn't list one there. Happy hunting! http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html

Hi, all! According to the USGS, Paden is indeed in Okfuskee Co. The population is listed as 379. The county seat is Okemah. Hope this helps.

Dear Eric, Sorry, didn't see the other message. The Oklahoma State Historuical Society Library located at NE 18th and Lincoln in Oklahoma City has some records for Creek Co. However, there are records at both Drumright City Hall and Sapulpa at the Count Courthouse. The historical society has Census records from 1890-1920 for all counties in Oklahoma. The 1890 census was for the Oklahoma Territory only. The 1900 Census is split with both Oklahoma and Indian Territories. The counties you are interested in are in Indian Territory. I hope this helps.

Dear Robert, Paden is either on the Lincoln-Okmulgee county line or a little mor into Okmulgee Co. There are cemetaries on both sides of the line that are associated with Paden. I would check in both counties for records you might nee. The Lincoln Co. website has the original land records posted. Good luck, Cindy Yocum "Eric C.

I can do lookup for marriage & devorce records in Creek Co. Almost all of the cemeteries are in books. I can do lookups on this also. The old land records are not indexed by name. You would have to know about where the land was. Ona

Thanks for the address. This is such a helpful list. Hope you all have a great day. -- Alisa in Beautiful British Columbia [email protected]

Hi Wilma, Could you post the address for the Sapulpa Public Library on line, so that those who want to write for information will be able to? Do you know if the library does lookups for people? Thanks so much. -- Alisa in Beautiful British Columbia [email protected]
