    1. [OKPONTOT] Gene Autry in Pontotoc County?
    2. Mike Landwehr
    3. Hi all, I'm trying to sort out some family traditions regarding my Reed, Patton and Bullard families. My Reed family was in Grayson County (near Tioga), Texas, in 1880, and in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, in 1910. Gene Autry (THE Gene Autry) was born in Grayson County (near Tioga), Texas, in 1907. One family tradition speaks of some of my relatives going to school with Gene Autry at Stonewall, in Pontotoc County, and about Gene Autry roping the bigger boys (including my relatives, Elmer Bullard and Claude Patton) during recess at Stonewall. I suppose this must have been during the 1910's or 1920's. Does anyone on the list know whether Gene Autry ever lived in Pontotoc County? Thanks, Mike Landwehr
