Does anyone out there know anything about Clifton or C C Ruffin who died in Oklahoma City in the mid 1960's. He was married at one time to Jennie Kilgore. He had worked as a meat cutter and a farmer. Where is he buried in OKC? thanks BT

I found this on another list, sounds good to me! The year 2000 is a Census Year. Most of the census will be taken by mail. After you have filled out your census form why not make a copy of it and file with your important (genealogy) papers. Then your family will not have to wait 70 years to learn about you.

Hi! I am looking for a Serena SMITH who died on the 23rd of May in 1887 in the Chickasaw Nation, OK. Does she sound familiar to anyone?

Looking for the information on my great grandparents, Elisha S. McPherson. and his wife Nettie. Elisha S. McPherson was born in 1873. He died in 1945. His wife Nettie was born in 1876 and died in 1956. All I know at present is that they are buried in the Ft. Cobb cemeterie in Caddo County, Oklahoma. They were living in Gray County, Pampa, TX at the time my grandmother was born in 1904. I was told they had moved to Caddo County for reason of they had family there. Any info would be most welcome. Thanks, Sharon

This is a real long shot, but while reviewing some files of a 90 yr.old aunt for whom I am attorney-in-fact, I found a photograph of two young ladies. The studio was O.W. Osborn, Tahlequah, I.T.. On the back it reads: Effie Lewis McKinney Laura Patrick Lowrey (about 14 yrs) Laura Patrick married my grandfather T.J. Lowrey on 12/30/1902. My grandmother was b. in March, 1882 so this picture was taken around 1896. Since my grandmothers listed with her maiden name and her married name, I would think that Effie Lewis was the maiden name of the other young lady and McKinney her married name. If anyone knows anything about this Effie Lewis McKinney please let me know. My grandmother was from Braggs and probably went to Tahlequah to have her picture taken so, I would make an assumption that Effie Lewis McKinney might also have been from the Braggs area.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for parents, more information on, etc. for Will WATTS and Martha GRAHAM. They may have been from Oklahoma, (Don't know which county) or even from Texas. They married before 1902, and were the parents of Ernest, Walter Lonzo (my grandfather), Joseph, and Anna Lee WATTS. Going by my grandfather's obituary, Martha may have had a relative named Wesley GRAHAM. He was one of my grandfather's pall bearers. (some of the other pall bearer surnames are COGBURN, AIRHART or AIRBART, PATRICK and ADAMS.) According to family legend, Will was Cherokee, and may have comitted murder. I haven't been able to prove either, and have broadened my search to include the possiblity of Melungon heritage. (I bear many of the physical characteristics.) I'm told that Will died in Texas, but again, I don't have a specific location. My father has said that he remembers visiting Will on a reservation, but I never got a chance to ask him the specifics... At some point Will and Martha's children relocated to Putnam County, TN without their parents and married into/associated with the families of the area. My grandfather married Allie Mai HARP, and I know he and Anna Lee frequently visited the LANE family. In fact my uncle Alonzo Leon WATTS married a granddaughter of that particular family, Joyce LANE. They also may have been aquainted with a CARDWELL family. Any infomation or help on this family would be very much appreciated.
