My Giesy family did not live in Stephens Co. OK. They were in Kansas and in Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. Nevertheless, here is the information on them: My gggreat-grandmother was Harriet "Hattie" (Indian name: Bright Star) Giesy b. 25 Apr 1869 in Burlington, Coffey Co. KS; d. 22 Feb. 1922 in Eufaula, McIntosh Co., OK. She was the daughter of George Giesy and Edna Ward. She was orphaned and reared by her uncle, Henry Giesy. According to a family history written by Hattie's son, the Giesy family was enrolled in the Delaware or Lenape tribe prior to the Civil War, but removed from the tribal rolls due to Henry's siding with the South.
