Yes, I believe my Burketts were from Honey Grove. Grelie and sister Mayola were supposedly born there. Their mother Ethel Bankston Burkett died giving birth to Grelie and his father Earnest Burkett died a short while later. Earnest' father's name was Robert, wife Martha. Later resided in Choctaw Co., OK. Anything sound familiar?
