The 1900 Oklahoma territory census records showing them are available. There are also 1870 Fayette County, Texas census records showing the family (including Jefferson) and 1860 Williamson County records. We have not been able to trace them any further back for sure. I would greatly appreciate any information and records that you might have. I know I have the Ok census records somewhere. I'll keep looking for them.
