Can anybody help me what should I do? I am new at this researching. Okay, you have told me to order my great grandfather's death certificate which I did and it was not found. I need to desperately found my great grandfather's obituary or his death notice. John Henry Carter was born August 26, 1869 and died September 22, 1939, buried in Center Hill Cemetery. On his tombstone, it said he was born in 1867 which I think is wrong. If he live in Kenefick, Okla., what newspapers films should I look upon or where in the world who I can write to look up for his obituary. I have written to several funerals home in Durant and Atoka and only 2 had responded back to me and they do not have his burial records. Please I NEED YOUR HELP. I would like to know what funeral home that did the burial service and found his obituary. Would you help me? Thank and God bless you for you reading my letter. Teresa

Michael, I have some Watsons that moved to Tishomingo area from Tennessee, but none from Arkansas that I know of. My main line of research is the Morgan line. My gggrandfather, Charles Thomas Morgan married Elizabeth Watson in 1881. Their son, Perrin, and his wife Emma Belle Hornsby show up on the 1910 census of Johnston County, along with his widowed mother, Betty (Elizabeth Watson). I have heard that many of Elizabeths family were already in the area. Her parents are: Perrin and Mary Watson, siblings born between 1835-1850 are:John, Onslow, James, Nancy, Sarah, Valeda(?), Joshua, Robert and Stanton. Hopefully this will help in some way. Annie
