Hi Tristia- You may be looking for "Bokchito", Oklahoma. A general description is: "In Bryant Co. 14 miles east of Durant. Post office established August, 11, 1894. The name is a Choctaw word meaning "big creek"." Indian Territory is correct. Hope this helps..Glenda -----Original Message----- From: Tristia Watson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, May 14, 1999 1:40 PM Subject: [OKCREEK-L] Indian Territory >I've just recently started researching my great-grandfather's side of the >family which we think has some Indian ties.
