Ok Deeds Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/OkmulgeeDeed/6 Surname: Daniels, Canning ------------------------- I am looking for my ancestors in Okmulgee. My father has no information other than his father's name, Eugene Leon Daniels born Circa 1915. He married Marian Canning who was not from there but had some family there. He thinks his grandfather's name was Melvin, but he is not sure. He also mentioned a farm owned by his grandfather which had a one room schoolhouse with all 8 grades in the same class. He last saw it in the early 1950's. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Beth

Posted on: Okmulgee Co. Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee/540 Surname: AGNEW, WHITE ------------------------- Looking for any info on Susan (or Suzanne) AGNEW WHITE. Family history says that she died in Nuyaka, Okmulgee County, OK. Don't know for sure if she is burried there. She was in Texas in 1900 Census, but have been unable to find her or her children in 1910 Census. Since she died in Nuyaka, we suspect she may have moved to OK between 1900 and 1910. Susan was married to a Henry AGNEW and a HAMP(TON) WHITE, but the which one was first is unclear. According to the 1900 Census for San Jacinto County, TX, we know this... Susan WHITE, head, Black, Female, 1868 (32) TX (LA/LA), widowed, mother of 6/6 living Robert, son, Black, male, 1886 (14) TX (TX/MS) Margaret, daughter, Black, female, 1888 (12) TX (TX/MS) James, son, Black, male, 1893 (7) TX (TX/MS) Alice, daughter, Black, female, 1894 (6) TX (TX/MS) Nick, son, Black, male, 1896 (4) TX (TX/MS) El Jay, son, Black, male, 1897 (3) TX (TX/MS) Nick is the only one that I know for certain ended up in Texas (1920). The others may have all settled in OK. Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jay

Hello, In doing a bit of 'housework' on the message boards for Okmulgee County, it was necessary to relocate a recent exchange on the Singleton/Gibson family. Three QUERIES were placed in error on the DEEDS message board, so they have been deleted from the DEEDS board and added to the QUERIES board. You may view and respond to these posts at their new location on the QUERIES board at.... http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee Since all posts made to the Okmulgee County GenConnect boards are now being automatically forwarded on to the mailing list, I do not have control over what actually reaches listmembers from the boards....so a little attention is needed from time to time to put errant posts in their correct place.

Posted on: Okmulgee Co. Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee?read=533 Surname: Black, Smith, McDaniel, Keeth, Reeves ------------------------- Probably not..but some names do match. My great-grandmother was Mary Lucy Black McDaniel Smith. She outlived two husbands and died in her 80's in Stonewall, OK. The year was 1934. She had a brother named Charles Samuel Black and another brother named Samuel Perryman Black. Her father's name was Samuel Wesley Black. She also had a brother named John Sparks Black. I don't think the family is the same...but it's worth checking...if not directly related, they could still be cousins. The reason I wonder is that my Black-Smith branch wound up in Okmulgee County, at least for a while. Mary Lucy Black Smith's youngest child was Linus Samuel ("Hoss") Smith. He apparently met and married Fannie Lou Reeves in Okmulgee County. Both Hoss and Fannie Lou died young, leaving orphaned children to be reared by relatives and step parents. Fortunately for the children, both relatives and step relatives were kindly people. Still, it was hard for everyone. Hoss and Fannie Lou had a son named William "Bill" Smith, who lived around Tiger Mountain and still has descendents in the Dewar area. They also had a daughter named Mary(who married Vergil Matlock and moved to California during the 1930's) and a son named Morgan who moved his family to Oregon, probably during the 40's or 50's. I don't ever remember Mary or Morgan living in Oklahoma, but Bill was in Henryetta when I was a small child in the 1940's... I doubt that this helps, but maybe we'll be lucky. Shirley PS Hoss also had a sister named Carrie Lou Smith. She married a man named Mallow. Until I started researching the family history, I never knew she existed. I've never been able to find any of her descendents...
Posted on: Okmulgee Co. Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee?read=531 Surname: Smith, Reeves, Keeth ------------------------- Well, this is a long shot, but I did have an uncle named Bill Smith and he did live in Okmulgee County, mainly out around the Tiger Mountain area. He was a wild and wooly one--and very loveable and lots of fun. He left the county for Oregon in the late 1940's or early 1950's (I think). He may have been one step ahead of the law when he made his sudden departure. That would be dear ole Uncle Bill... Bill's mother was Fannie Lou Reeves. She died when he was a very small boy--maybe 5 years old. His father (Linus Samuel "Hoss" Smith) remarried--his second wife was Callie Dora Keeth. She was my grandmother. Like Fannie, Hoss died young; Bill was maybe 14 when that happened. Callie remarried and Bill (it seems) was always welcome to stay with her and her new husband, Jim Malone, who was by all accounts a kindly man. However, Bill divided his time between his grandparents, the Reeves, in Henryetta, and the rest of his father's family (and his step family) who may also have been in Okmulgee County. I find traces of them in several eastern Oklahoma counties--Atoka, Bryan, Pushmataha, and Choctaw. Bill died in Oakridge, Oregon in 1960--mourned by many. He was so much fun! I used to love to see him coming when I was a little girl...One of his children married into the Britt family and lived in the county until her death last year. The others (now in their 50's and 60's) are still on the West Coast. If any of this gives you a clue to your William Smith, please write me. This is not an easy family to trace. Shirley

"William Thomas Childers was born April 28, 1872 in Clarksville, TX. He was the son of Alfred Maloy Childers, a Civil War soldier from North Carolina. Alfred was mustered out of the Confederate Army in 1865 and was sure his hopes of a bright future was out West in Texas. He joined a wagon train in NC bound for the West. In Tennessee the Osburn family joined the wagon train with their lovely young daughter Lucinda Elvira. Alfred and Lucinda Osburn were married and left the wagon train in Red River County, TX. Alfred bought a farm near Clarksville. He and Lucinda had seven children. William Thomas Childers was the third child. He was always called Bud as a young boy, and later in his life, in Oklahoma, he was known as Uncle Bud Childers. William married Amanda Alice Smith in Clarksville, TX in 1893. She was known as Mandy. She was once asked by granddaughter Paula (daughter of David Childers) if she believed in love at first sight. Mandy replied, "I sure do! When I first saw Bud he was about thirteen years old and I told my girlfriend there is the boy I am going to marry. He had beautiful auburn red hair." It was eight years later when Bud was twenty-one that he and Mandy were married. They rented a farm near Bud's family and began to farm. After the death of their first son, when he was five years old, Bud and Mandy dedicated their lives to God. They joined the Free Will Baptist Church and in time Bud bacame an ordained Baptist minister. He served as a circuit riding preacher. The ministry was always his first priority in life, although farming was necessary to provide for his family. Mandy's brother, John Smith, had taken a job with the railroad in the Creek Indian Nation. His reports of the country there came back to Bud and Mandy. They sold their farm in Clarksville and with five of their children, Evaline, Peraline, Wesley Marvin, Leroy, William and two sons of Bud's brother, Jim Childers, which they had taken to live with them when their mother died, they boarded the train in Texas for their new home in Wetumka, Indian Territory. Bud and Mandy farmed and preached in the area around Weleetka and Wetumka, later moving to Prague. In 1932 they moved into Okmulgee County. They rented the Gordon farm about five miles north of Okmulgee. Reverend William Thomas Childers became the pastor of the Free Will Baptist Church near their farm. These were the years of the great depression and money was scarce. It took long hours of work to provide the bare necessities for a family. Some people worked from sunrise till sunset for a dollar a day. Many families bacame destitute. Uncle Bud and Aunt Mandy never turned away a needy family. Their children remember the years of the depression as a time when their home was very much like the Salvation Army. There were always extra people at mealtime and most of the time they stayed all night. Some would stay a month at a time. Others were given work as share croppers on the farm. Most of the burden of work for these extra families at mealtime fell on Mandy. She had to be industrious and well organized. Along with the usual work in the house and cooking three large meals a day, extra work was added as the seasons changed. Spring was the time for a large garden and in the summer it was canning and soap making time. In the fall they made sorghum syrup. In winter they butchered and cured bacon and hams. Mandy would always try to save the last ham for Bud's birthday on the 28th of April. She spent most of her evening piecing quilts and telling stories of times she remembered from her childhood. Her daughter in laws remember her singing many old ballads from the hill country of Kentucky and Texas. Mandy served as mid-wife at the birth of many Okmulgee citizens and proud to have attended at the birth of all her grandchildren. Aunt Mandy helped bring them into the world and Uncle Bud married them and buried them. Uncle Bud Childers was well known in Oklahoma for his special talent of making sorghum. Many people brought their sorghum cane to the Childers farm every fall to have it made into syrup. He became a very prosperous farmer. Their Christian work with needy families around Okmulgee during the depression and dust bowl years caused Bud and Mandy to lose their farm. They retired to a small farm on Salt Creek, later moving to Phoeniz, Arizona to be near their chileren, William (Bill), Wesley (Red), Leroy (Roy) and two daughters Evaline (Evie) and Peraline (Pearl) and David, who later moved to California. Reverend William Thomas Childers died December 30, 1945. He is remembered in Okmulgee as a true servant of God who was always ready to help a neighbor. Descendants of William Thomas Childers and Amanda Alice Smith Childers were: Evaline Childers, married Henry Weaver, two daughters and a son, Lottie Weaver Kenney, Vivian Mae Weaver McCormack, Thomas Weaver. Pearline Childers married Lonnie Parker, two daughters and four sons, Alma Parker Wentela, Elsie Mae Parker Perry, Vernie Parker, Lonnie Parker, Elray Parker and J.D. Parker. Wesley Marvin Childers married Buelah Crosby, one daughter and three sons, Mildred Childers Mahan, Volney Childers, Harlan Childers, John David Childers. Leroy Childers married Iva Starkey, three daughters, Gwen Childers Tipton, Dorlis Childers Anderson, Gail Childers Brooks. William Thomas Childers Jr married Alice Davis, two daughters, Lois Childers Williams, and Billie Jo Childers Wyler. David Childers married Oma Reed, two daughters and one son, Norma Jean Childers Pruitt, Paula Childers Spolyar and Troy Jimmy Childers. A great grandson once told me that William Thomas Childers changed the last name from Childers to Childress due to a run in with revenuers. Seems Uncle Bud made home-brew from some of the cane he raised. I have had other relatives absolutely refute this. However, my grandfather, Luther Zachariah Childers, was raised by Uncle Bud and he once told me he learned the business from Uncle Bud. What we have to understand is that in those days making moonshine was not as frowned upon as it is today. Many folks make moonshine to supplement their living.

Hi everyone, I hope your summer is going well, and that you've all had time to do some family research. It seems that more and more databases and census records are being put online everyday, so I'll continue to keep you updated on any new sites I hear about...you all do the same! We've had two projects already this summer, and have been adding all your new SURNAMES and Family Group Sheets to the webpage. Many thanks to those of you who have helped to add valuable information on early Okmulgee County residents. For the August 1-15 project, we'll be asking for BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of your Okmulgee County families, to be added to the growing collection of resource information on the webpage. Nothing formal...just include what you know about your Okmulgee County families. You may want to tell us about the first of your family to settle in the county, or you may choose a later family to feature. Even better, tell us something about each generation! You can also focus on an individual person, if you prefer. Share with us anything you know about these folks...where they resided before coming to Okmulgee County and what caused them to relocate, where and how they lived, if the children went to school or were taught at home or worked to help out, if they were active in a church or community, how they were affected by adversity or better times, and any other bits of information you may have learned in your research. Remember to replace the Subject line with the person or family you are featuring. Whether you have one surname or a dozen, I'm looking forward to hearing all the interesting stories handed down to you or that you've discovered about your Okmulgee County families. Thanks, LaRae Okmulgee County listmgr. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okokmulg/index.html Note: You may continue to submit new material in a previous category, and we'll add it to the Okmulgee County webpage as they're received. The project schedule is as follows: July 1 - Surnames July 15 - Family Group Sheets August 1 - Biographical Sketches August 15 - Photo Album September 1 - Land Records September 15 - Obituaries October 1 - Wills

My mother's family moved to Okmulgee from Baxter County, Ark to be close to family and I would like to find what family was living there. Her father died in 1925 in Okmulgee from complications of a rusty nail and lockjaw. He was Miles K. Sinor. Any help will be appreciated. Marian in AZ.
Thank you, Josie. I enjoyed you emails. I appreciate the offer of help, and who knows maybe someday I will call on you again. I know what you mean about making a move at this age. It is scary sometimes to think of making a wrong decision. Years ago, I would not have thought twice about doing anything I decided to do, but now I have to second guess every decision I make. And, I don't like it one little bit. Ha-ha. You take care now and I do hope to get to the cemetery someday.
