There is a Vian OK in Sequoyah county which was formed when OK became a State taking it's name from the Sequoyah district of the Cherokee Nation. A check of the 1900 Cherokee census shows a Henry M Paris, born appx 1859 in TN and a John B Parris, 1837, TN. I checked the transcribed records for Wichita county on Rootsweb and did not find any children born to a Betty Parris Fregia in this county. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgenweb/
