ANSWER TO BELOW: Jack, Not positive if this is your family but it looks like a possible. You didn't say where or when Mary German was born, or if she had been married before she married Mr. Pendergast but here's what I found. NOTES: I read her last name as Pendergast, age 52 (not 32) b. July 1848 Missouri. Said m. 35 years, 7 children, 7 living. She is the mother of Irwin? Kilgore age 28 b. May 1872 Indian Territory. Lulu (or Lula) b. May 1881 Indian Territory, sister of Irwin so that would make her Mary's daughter. Other than Irwin & Lula/Lulu, no other children living with her. If you'd like the original image let me know and I will be happy to send it to you so you can inspect it for yourself. Gretchen 1900 CENSUS Name: Mary Pendyart Age: 32 Birthplace: Missouri Home in 1900: Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Mother Source Citation: Year: 1900; Census Place: Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory; Roll: 1852; Enumeration District: 112; FHL microfilm: 1241852. HOUSEHOLD: Irwin Kilgore, Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory Indian Territory, Oklahoma Head Mary Pendyart Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory Missouri Mother Lula Pendyart Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory Indian Territory, Oklahoma Sister Lore Robbison Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory Missouri Boarder Henry Sanders Township 3, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory Missouri Boarder ORIGINAL QUESTION: From: "Jack" <jj123yes@cox.net> Subject: [ROOTS-L] Pendergast To: <Roots-L@rootsweb.com> The initials were hard to make out but they were either B.F. or B.H. Pendergast but I think they were B. F. He Married: Mary Elizabeth German, Kilgore. Pendergast Circa1876-77. They had three Girls Maud Pendergast B: 1878, Mattie Pendergast B: 1880 & Lula Pendergast B: 1883. It is family lore that Maud was Born in Decatur, Wise Co. TX. It is believed Mattie & Lula was born In Oklahoma Chocktaw I. T. This is a brick wall for me. Mr. Pendergast died circa 1884 I believe he was probably married previously But to who is unknown. Prior to 1907 when Oklahoma became a state Records are few to non existent. So I turn to you in hopes of some help. Warmest regards, Jack
