Hi to you all! I have going over the few little piles that I have on this family of mine that lived out a seemingly Peyton Place life in the little town of Colbert, OK. I would like to know if it is usual that the Census records record different information for the same person. I have this Frank R. Standerfer that in the 1900 Indian Territory Census is listed as being born Feb 1858 in Mississippi along with his mother Sarah E. as being born Jan 1831 in Mississippi. Then in the 1910 OK Census Frank R. is born in Ill in 1858 and he is with his wife Ala (Edith Emola Kelley) born in Ill (this is true) and they have a daughter born in TX Alta (my grandmother) and a son Fanky(Frank) born in OK. Is it normal to find this kind of confusion? I know that Edith Emola and Frank met in Indiana or Ill. These two were married in Grayson Co. Texas in 1894. This is because they could not be married in Oklahoma being non-Indian? Pardon my ignorance, but how did they live on Indian land not being Indian. My other great-grandfather married a part Indian woman and they had lots of land. Did whites work the land like share-croppers? My last question of the day is were there not laws about incestuous marriages? I have Edith Emola's brother, Frank Kelley, marrying her daughter, Mary Roberts, from her marriage to Mr. Roberts! One more little question, did people all move around in those days like this family did? These were coming and going from all corners of the USA! Thank you, Candy
