I am looking for descendants of, and information about, my great aunt Mary W. "Polly" Glenn (1819-1894)(part Choctaw, part Cherokee) who married first William Lampkins (a Creek Indian) and second Samuel Fisher ( 1795 - ? ) (a Creek Indian). Mary was born in Tennessee. The Samuel Fisher family emigrated from Alabama to the Creek Nation in 1847, according to the Stidham roll made in 1886 re Hickory Grounds Town. The Fishers established Fishertown, about five miles from Eufaula, located in today's McIntosh County, Oklahoma. Fishertown was a small town that prospered for a long while but had disappeared even before they built the Eufaula Lake. Mary Glenn became known as Polly Fisher. Her daughter Sarah Catherine Lampkins (1842-bef.1905) married William Fisher, the son of Samuel Fisher. A child of Samuel Fisher and Mary W. "Polly" Glenn was: Elizabeth "Lizzie" Fisher (1858-? ) who married twice, William Lewis and James Akins. Elizabeth's children from these two marriages were: Ruth Oneita Lewis (1898 - ?) Noah Akins (1886 - ?) I have some of the children's names of Samuel Fisher's earlier marriages, too, if anyone needs them. The Fisher family lived in Checotah, OK in their reclining years. Hoping to find a descendant of this family who will help me fill in some of the missing pieces of the puzzle. I have a lot of information on Mary W. "Polly" Glenn's family to share.

Lee Carter served as clerk of Eufaula from 1923 to 1931 and his brother served as treasurer from 1927 to 1951 a DanCarter. Lee is my grandfather and I am inquiring if as clerk did he have a dual role as a deputy sheriff? I do know that he also was a deputy in McIntosh Co., can anyone tell me the dates ? Were these full time jobs or would they have also been engaged in another occupation? Their other brother was Layton Carter who was an educator for many years in Eufaula, can anyone tell me where Layton taught school? I am also interested in Carters Corner as this was the homesite of my great grandfather JW (Jim) Carter who was in IT at least by 1899 with the birth of one of his daughters Ollie Carter. Thank You Richard

Ron, thank you for your replies, this has been quite helpful!!!! Richard

Richard, I really don't know when Carters Corner came into existance. I graduated from Eufaula in 1965, and although Deeres Chapel was very familiar to me, it was a surprise to see Carters Corner listed on the map. The map was first published in 1997 so the area must have been named prior to that. If you haven't already done so, there are quite a few references to your family on the McIntosh County GenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okmcinto/index.htm Ron Long [email protected]
