Hi folks! My great grandparents James Edward Sloan and Amelia Bacquet were married in Coalton, Okmulgee Co. on 12 Sept. 1923. James Edward working in the coal mines as did his father-in-law. They had 4 children. James Edward b. 29 Jun 1924 d. 24 Oct 1924. Coalton, OK Thelma Marie b. 22 Sep 1925 Coalton, OK d. 11 Nov 1979 Craig, CO Frances Rebecca b. 27 Sep 1927 Coalton, OK d. 7 May 1991 Sheridan, WY Martha b. 26 Jul 1934 Krebs, Pittsburg Co., OK d. 9 May 1982 Sheridan, WY They moved to CO between Martha's birth and James Edward's death on 14 Sep 1936 in Hayden, CO. Amelia was born 29 Aug 1908 in Kansas. She was the youngest of 3 daughters born to Marc Bacquet and Anaise Marie Bovart. Marc and Anaise immigrated to the US from France in 1900. Amelia's elder sisters were Martha, whom married Charles Troussel, and Erma, whom married Herbert Richards. Marc was born 21 Aug 1868 in Bully Grenay, France and died 26 Nov 1924 in Okmulgee Co. Anaise was born 13 Apr 1874 in Billy Montigny, France and died 21 May 1921 in Okmulgee Co. James Edward Sloan was 16 Feb 1900 in IT (now Pittsburg Co., OK). His parents were James H Sloan and Rebecca Gilreath whom were married in Ft Smith, AR on 24 Feb 1887. Census records show James as being born abt 1855 in Iowa and Rebecca Gilreath was born abt 1869 in TN to Harvey Gilreath and Sarah Parks (formerly of GA nd TN respectively). Rebecca and her living siblings (whom all lived in Pittsburg Co.) applied for the Guion Miller Roll through their paternal grandmother Rebecca Duncan, daughter of Jonathan Duncan and Sarah Shinn of NC. They were denied but protested and were given a hearing but failed to appear due to not receiving the notice. I would like to discover more about my SLOAN and BACQUET lines including the burial location for Marc Bacquet and Anaise Bovart Bacquet in Okmulgee Co.. thanks!
