Hi, Researching: BELL, GOODMON (A) in Creek County or IT. FARMER, GOTT, GOSS, HOOTON, STEPHENS in Adair County or IT Debbie

We are researching the surnames of FULLER, GAROUTTE, PHARRIS and REVIS in this area. Late 1800 to present. Thanks, Melinda Pennington <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BoardStock/Index.html">Pennington HomePage </A>

We are searching for more information on ALBERT JENKINS BAILEYS who died in Bristow, Creek Co., OK on March 18, 1968. He was born February 11, 1892 in Wert Co., WV and married to ICY GAY TRADER. Any information is appreciated. Thank you, Melinda Pennington <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BoardStock/Index.html">Pennington HomePage </A>

We are trying to locate the parentage of SARAH FRANCES PHARRIS who married JEREMIAH (JERRY) M. GARROUTTE. They both died in Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK. Any help appreciated. Melinda Pennington <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BoardStock/Index.html">Pennington HomePage </A>

We are researching the FULLER family which lived in Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK and our direct line migrated to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Co., OK. We believe this Fuller family migrated from MO and had GARROUTTE and REVIS connections. Thank you, Melinda Pennington <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BoardStock/Index.html">Pennington HomePage </A>

So many people have sent messages to me telling me to use the Search Engines. That is what I have been doing for the past two months. I found some names to email but only one of those has had any info for me. Most of them are returned as UNKNOWN. I did find my folks on one but they have NEVER been on the Internet. For the most part, it looks like info copied from very old phone books. That is why I requested info from new phone books in my former post. Thanks for the advice. And Thank You Very Much for those of you who are researching my names. I do appreciate it from the depths of my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have an Actually Better Day.

I have searched the Search Engines for ME & I am not there. I assure you, I am still around! We've lived in this house 2 years. We've had our own website 2 1/2 months now. I've been doing newsgroups and email that long. My husband has been in the same business 18 years. I did find my niece at an address that she moved from 3 years ago. I did find my husband's business at an address he moved from 6 years ago. We have an 800# and are constantly getting wrong number calls. I just typed some of them in and got "No matches found" on everyone of them. Before I start calling people asking, "There might be a possibility that we are related. Do you do genealogy?" I would like to have a little better assurance that the people I am trying to reach still live there. I haven't found any connections on the Internet yet except thru email. And I haven't found any connections to my ancestors that way. I know it is possible, but I would like to! branch out in other areas, too. I didn't find anything on Switchboard that would narrow my search down to a certain state. If you can tell me how to do that, please do. Before I had a computer, I looked over the shoulder of my niece while she was looking at a screen full (about 30 lines) of names, addresses, and phone #s of the same surname. THAT is what I was hoping to find. I don't know if it was a program she has or with her AOL service, but I haven't been able to find anything like it. Since most of what I have found is not current, hers may not be either. I would much rather have current email addresses but not everyone has email. It may be a while before I can get back to the county courthouse where I hope to find some info, but the state library did not have what I need. I KNOW these people existed! I have a few pictures! I just can't find any connections and dates. :( T. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have an Actually Better Day. Please Visit http://www.wimall.com/talonwhisler Don't forget to sign the Guestbook!

Lon & T, I'm sure I've slept since your last post. Refresh us on known OK counties for your surnames. Debi Lon & T.

She came to work in my BAILEY's home in Gracemont, OK in 1910. She returned to Hastings a few years later and was never heard from again. I would love to know more about her and her family.

Hi all, Some of you may be interested in http://www.infospace.com - it provides for reverse lookups by address or phone number. Address lookups can be helpful when researching property. You might be surprised about the information you can obtain from the property owner that superseded your ancestor. My mother and I were in the Healdton and Lone Grove, Carter Co., OK area to attend my uncle's funeral this weekend. Knowing my mother was born in Deese, Carter Co., OK, I asked her if we could go to the general area since Deese no longer exists. Well, we actually found folks that knew my mother's grandmother, father and uncle. I couldn't believe we met folks that knew ancestors that I never knew. And, we found the exact location of the house mother lived in until she was four. We learned information that we hadn't known before. So, you just never know...

Hello OK searchers! I am in California on the Delta! And I have been trying to ferret out information on my husbands family for years. His parents and grandparents are all gone now, and they didn't have any family history on this line. I have been lucky enough to connect with some MO. cousins and put quite a bit together, but I need to know where these people are buried and if I can get certificates of Death for them. I will list what I have. They came from MO. Ray County and Buchanan County (around St. Joe). They married in Ray County in 1859. I have the document. They are my hubby's 2nd great's. Their daughter is Rosa Catherine Adams b. 1886/7 in Platte township, Andrew County, MO. She married her first cousin (we think?) who waas a William E. Adams and they had 1 son Willis Raymond Adams b. 9 May 1896, St. Joseph, MO. d. 13 Apr 1984, Fayetteville, AR. He married Mildred Larsen (we don't know where), I have been trying to find out. I have their wedding picture but the location was a secret. They ran off together. Their first child George Adams was born in Pawnee, Pawnee, OK., on 10th of Nov. 1918. Second child Scott Marion Adams was born in Fairfax, Osage, OK, on 6th of Nov. 1920. Third child was born in Bolivar, Polk County, MO. on 14th of Jun 1923, his name was Albert Leslie Adams. A 4th child was born on 30th of May 1925, in Concord, CA. Child being Wilma May Adams and living only about one year. I found Benjamin Franklin (known as Franklin) and Lodusky and Willis all together on the 1910 census for Pawnee. Willis was 13. Rosa Catherine remarried a man by the name of Smith, Elmer we think. They had a son Elmer in 1910, and a daughter named Lodusky Marie Smith in 1912. They were born in Pawnee. I don't know anything about any of them but I found Rosa on the 1920 census living with a family and she was listed as a widow. Her children were not with her though they were still young. I also found on a blue line map last week, property owned by Mildred ADams on the Arkansas River. Anyone out there that this sounds familiar too? Rose Adams

I am really needing help to find information on my great grandfather. His name is Archibald Benjamin BROWN b.25 June 1892 Redland, Sequoyah Co., OK. His father was Mathew BROWN and his mother was Francis Elizabeth BIGGS b. 1863 Dardanelle,,AR Archibald married Emma Elizabeth WILLIFORD on her birthday 26 Nov. 1911 in Loafer's Glory, Now Fallsville, Ark then they went to his home in Redland, OK. I have the newspaper article. It was cut out and given to me but not the paper info. My grandfather stated that his mother and father divorced and he was never heard from again. My grandpa left home at 13 to become a COWBOY. At 83 he still team ropes for his dinner. Grandpa said he met his father somewhere in the 1950's in South Texas and the man was going by the name "Tex". He too was a cowboy. Said he was kinda tall and lanky. Believes he died there in the 1960's. around Brownsville or Brownwood. Not sure which?. What should I do to find MORE about him? Please email me direct, thanks. Lil Sister texas@morgan.net

I was just curious but did you know there is a phone directory on the internet that will search the entire U.S. or just a state for you and return you a list. Go to your search engine and type in Switchboard and it should tell you where to find it.

Debi, Ruth Ann's descendant's from her marraige to William Welch stayed in Republic & Marshall co's in KS when William & Ruth Ann went to OK. Quite a few are still in those areas. Her second husband was L.M. Shull, and that is all I know about the Shull's. I checked locations at one time, and I think Coyle & Marshall are only a few miles apart - maybe a 10 - 15 minute drive or somthing like that; but don't quote me on that. I'll check again. If there is a relation it will be through the marriage of L.M. & Ruth Ann. I have family in Reno Co., KS; but the only ones I am aware of are in my Ellis line which is dad's side as opposed to mom's line which is where the Shull's & Welch's are. Let me know what you come up with. >Hi Cindy, > >I'm posting back to you, but we should post back to the list so that >others can follow our trail years down the road. > >I'm pressed for time as I'm heading to a funeral in the morning. >However, I had to get back to you because I feel sure there is a >connection.

My ggfather, Isaac Kindred (possibly Kennedy?) WELLS (1830-1903) and his wife Martha Ellen EASTIN (1835-1905) married in 1853 in IL and immigrated to the Indian Territory in the 1890's. They settled in what is now known as Pittsburg County. They had 5 children, John Andrew, Cynthia Jewell, Isaac Sherman, Joseph C., and Mary Alice Wells. I would love to find fellow WELLS researchers to share and compare. Hope to hear from a "cousin", Sharon Researching: WELLS, EASTIN, HARDEN, COON, SWEARINGEN, WOOLMAN, INGLIS, RALSON, OGAN
