Posted on: Major County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Major/10450 Surname: Creech, Cox, Hanks, Forsythe, Martin, Critz, Troilo, Collier ------------------------- Hi Pat, Thanks for your response. Yes, that Omer that is buried there was the son of JOhn M Creech and wife Nettie Cox. They moved back to Wolfe Co KY. One of their daughters is still alive there. Hanks, yes, supposedly that line is related to Nancy Hanks LIncoln. Nancy Alice Cox, the wife of Wm. Patton Creech of Major/Woods/Woodward Co Ok ,was the dau of Fielden Cox (as was Nettie). Fielden was the son of Annie Hanks and James Cox. Annie was the dau of Fielden Hanks the brother of Nancy. There is usually some static about this-seems everyone wants to claim Nancy. However, the authorities on the subject (2 that I know of) give Nancy as the sister of Fielden. Their father was Abraham Hanks and wife Sarah Harper. Several of the Hanks, Cox and Creech people cliamed land under the Mississippi Choctaw Land giveaway. However, the did not qualify-not sure why not except maybe not enough Indian blood in the line. Altho there was Indian blood- Marsil in NM
