Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Woods?read=368 Surname: CONNER, BECKNER ------------------------- Searching for information about my great grandfather, JEFFERSON CONNER, who owned land in Woods County in 1900. Also looking for marriage info on my grandparents, CYNTHIA LOUVISA CONNER & WILLIAM HENRY BECKNER, who owned land adjacent to Jefferson Conner. My grandparents were homesteaders. Jefferson Conner and his daughter Cynthia had been living in Canadian County from 1877 until they arrived in Woods County. The patent on the Beckner land is dated February 1901. How long did it take for a homesteader to obtain a patent?
