Also, Ardmore is located in what is now Carter County which was Chickasaw Lands. This was during the period when Sooners started moving in to Indian Territory, so it is possible that T.W. Tucker and Birdi were not Chickasaw. Their son - James Thomas Tucker - married Madie Lorene Robbins who's mother was Harriett Elizabeth Shockey.
