We are looking for our 2nd cousin, CLIFFORD HOPPER, (may have used the name 'HOWARD') who probably went to Duncan schools, graduating in the late 1940's or early 1950's. He moved to Dallas, TX before 1968. Our grandfathers were brothers...his was WILLIAM O. HOPPER 1866-1946 / ours was JOHN ALBERT HOPPER 1869-1927. Howard's (Clifford's) parents were JOHN & BEATRICE HOPPER who had an ad agency in Duncan, OK. John died there in 1977. John also worked at one time for the DUNCAN BANNER. We have a book ready for print on the Hopper Family History and Howard has information we need to complete it! We also want to make this book available to him and his family. He replied to my HOPPER FORUM query, but didn't send me a direct email! The email address he left is incorrect....and I've not been able to find him! He had information for us and family history he wanted us to have. :{ Thank you Oklahomans for helping these Oregonians!! Al & Phyllis Hopper If anyone knows how I can find him, please let me know or have him get in touch with me.

I am repeating my surnames because new people read the postings daily. My ancestors were among the first white settlers in Oklahoma -- JEFFERSON CONNER had seven children and had been living near present-day NORMAN for 13 years as of 1890. I believe JEFFERSON CONNER was either a PREACHER/TEACHER working with the indians -- or a TRADER/MERCHANT. The BECKNERS cannot be located until 1900 -- and they are in WOODS and BLAINE COUNTIES. However, my grandparents, WILLIAM H. BECKNER AND CYNTHA LOUISE CONNER, were married shortly after 1890. Thank you, C. Beckner Shanahan

Hello J.R., I come from a pretty long line of MUSE's. However, I don't have any of the other SURNAMES you mention. My MUSE line descends from NC, MS, AR, TX to OK. Within OK, my MUSE family was in Carter Co., and Love Co., possibly Jefferson Co., OK but not Tillman Co., OK that I know of. There are several good MUSE sites that you might want to check: http://206.139.152.113/KnightLines/index.htm http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jwmuse/musefam.htm Good Luck & Happy Hunting, Debi TATE/MICHAEL/WOODS/BIVENS/SHULL/ROGERS/SMITH/OSBORNE - WILSON/HESS/COLLINS/PORTER/HENDERSON - MUSE/LAMB/HALLOWELL/BEACH/BUTLER/DILL/DALTON/BRASWELL/POPE - REAVES/ANTHONY/GUNTER/KIGER/BARNES/CLARK - J.

Hi Melinda, Definitely not an expert on SURNAME origins, however you might want to check http://www.acadian.org to see if they have any history on the GARROUTTE name.

OKbits Visitors counter rolls over To 50,000 Several years ago with the help of my "Mentor" Mike Taylor, I started uploading newspaper articles online which I called "Oklahoma Obits and Tidbits", I changed the name after Sharon McAllister wrote me and in the subject line had shorten the long name to OKbits. The page outgrew my personal family website and in February '98 Rootsweb donated a site just for "OKbits". With the contributions from so many wonderful people, Okbits has grown beyond my expectations. I would like to Thank all those who have contributed and visited OKbits, for tonight I feel like a proud mama :-) -- Sharon Burnett Crawford ICQ#18100823 OKbits: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbits/ Hosting Counties Garvin: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgarvin/garvin.htm Pittsburg: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okpittsb/pittsb.htm Researching Burnett, Wright, Underwood, Crawford and Gosser

Sorry, he is not listed. Probably because the book was published in 1911 - after he was already dead.

Hi Rob, The Pitts family of mine came to Izard Co Ar bef. 1870 from Wayne Co Tn. His name was LEVI WILLIAM PITTS b.1838 Tn. married to MARTHA JANE PRATER b. 1837 Tn. L.W. and MARTHA came to Izard Co where her parents alread were living after coming from Wayne Co Tn. The father of L.W. Pitts was LEVI SOLOMON PITTS b. 1895 S.C. and his wife was JEMIMIA (GATLEY). The L.S. Pitts family were in Wayne co on the 1840 census of Wayne Co. We have never been able to find who Levi S. Pitts belongs to. I had a lady tell me years ago that the Pitts probaly came from Lauren Dist SC with the PRATER family in a wagon train of several families. Some of the ones searching the family think they are from the NEWBERRY group of PITTS. I have mor on this family if you want it.I hope you can find LEVI S. parents for me in your book. Thanks, Dortha
