Debi, While trying to locate my grandfather, Robert Sidney "Sid" Dodson , who was a "Railroad man", I was told he may have retired from the Katy Railroad. Do you know if that was The Kansas City Southern Railroad? He was born 1871 Tx so the time frame might be ca 1912, regarding his retirement. He lived in Muscogee, Ok. Would it be feasable that the Katy operated there or nearby? One of his sons, Thomas Dodson ,died in a railroad accident after 1925 . If you can shed ANY light on this mystery, I would be very grateful.

Hi Sandy, I couldn't help responding to your offer of help from the Muskogee Query site. I am looking for a 1900 census record for Manuel John Harchas and his wife Mary Elizabeth Enos Harchas. Elizabeth is my great grandmother and I am having a very hard time finding any records for them in Muskogee in 1900. Except a marriage notice for my grandmother, Barbara Ellen Enos who was living with them at the time of her marriage on July 1, 1900 to George Washington Vails. So any help would be appreaceiated.

Pearley The age would be about right for my Joe Harris, and this family was living near Harrison AK at that time. But I don't have any more info. Sharon

Sharon Do you have a date of birth or any information on your Joe Harris ? My great Grandmother was a Sarah Harris born in 1848.in TN. married my great grandfather John Joshua Teague abt 1868 probably Izard County AR. They moved to Indian County OK about 1895 in the 1900 census of Pittsburg County Ok. There was a Joe Harris living next door to my grandfather, Joe age 50n in Missouri wife Marry, a daughter Effie and a son Jeffie. A Johnie Bless either brother in law or boarder the word is smeared. I believe this Joe Harris is some kin to my great grandmother Sarah Harris Teague. I have no other information on my Harris line except a mention of an M A Harris. I do not know what the M A stands for. Pearl

Does anyone know these Harris's and Booker's? Ada Harris was born in Sebastian AR Lived in Muskogee area early 1900's till death in 1955. Jackson P. Harris-------from TN buried Hulbert Cem.

Kathleen: I have tried the address for the Virtual Cemetary and can't get it to work. If that is the correct address, I must be doing something wrong or they are doing housekeeping or something. Will keep trying, because I think it would be a valuable research tool. Thanks for putting it in. Colleen

My pleasure. If there is anything I can do to help, dont hesitate to contact me directly. Sandy

Thank you Sandy. I was haveing a very difficult time, then, as you shared I began to realize this to be so. With family members unavailable to gather more family history it is difficult to complete.

My JC farmer was born about 1855 and died about 1932, he is buried next to his wife Siddie SELF at Ft. Gibson cemetery, (not the military one) I have seen the marker for my self. Do you or can you get the dates exact? Johnnie in CA

For all those who may have missed it before I am reminding all that the 1900 Indian Territory census was VERY incomplete. If you find your people there that is great, but if they are not on the census, it doesnt mean they werent there. It only means that they were missed. For whatever reason there were a LOT of people missed. I have been researching since 1977 and it was about 4 years before I discovered this little known fact. I was nuts trying to figure out what was going on because I KNEW my people were there in Cherokee Nation and Choctaw Nation, but they werent on the census. So, always keep that in mind when researching the 1900 Indian Territory census. Sandy

Does it list: FARMER, SELF or MITCHELL? Johnnie

I have the 1900 Indian Territory census rolls and Ft Gibson was in Indian Terr in 1900. sandy
