Descendants of John W. Smith and Sarah A. ?

TomVaughn80 — 6 May 2008 2:56:14 GMT

I am searching for descendants of:

Jerome D. Smith, Sr., b. abt. 1830 in South Carolina and Mary Elizabeth Burns b. abt 1839 in Alabama.
William H. Triplett, b. abt. 1832 in South Carolina and Jerusha Burns, b. abt 1839 in Alabama.

Mary Elizabeth Burns and Jerusha Burns are daughters of John W. and Manerva Burns. John W. Burns was born abt. 1812 in South Carolina, and Manerva was born abt 1820 in South Carolina,

My hope is that some of their descendants can shed some light on the fate of John W. and Manerva Burns.

John W. and Manerva Burns were in Pontotoc County, Mississippi in 1850, Nacogdoches County, Texas in 1860, and Rusk County, Texas in 1870. They vanished between 1870 and 1880, along with their younger children, William, George, John, Roxana and Bethena.

I am descended from their daughter Manerva Lucinda Burns, who married Moody Valentine Holleman. They remained in Rusk County, Texas, although she died in 1878.

Jerome D. Smith, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Burns were in Nacogdoches county, Texas in 1860, and in Rusk County, Texas in 1870 and 1880. Mary Elizabeth died between 1880 and 1890. Jerome D. Smith, Sr. remarried, to Sarah E. McGuire on 24 Sep 1890. They remained in Rusk County, Texas until at least 1910.

Some of Jerome D. Smith, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Burns' descendants moved to Central Texas, others to Oklahoma and California.
Jerome D. Smith, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Burns' son Elijah Dolphus Smith and family were in Mills County, Texas in 1900, and in Kern County, California in 1910.
Jerome D. Smith, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Burns' son Calvin M. Smith and family were in Mills County, Texas from 1910 until at least 1930.
Jerome D. Smith, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Burns' son John W. Smith and family were in Washita County, Oklahoma, Elk Township, in 1900.

William H. Triplett and Jerusha Burns were in Leake County, Mississippi in 1860 and 1870, and in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana in 1880 and apparently stayed in that area.

Howard family in Washita County (Port, Dill City, Cloud Chief)

asouthall1 — 11 Feb 2008 5:15:58 GMT

I am requesting any known info (either documented or memory) re: the Cornelius Clark & Mary Jane (Greenwell) Howard family that came from Missouri to Chickasaw Nation, IT, about 1875, then eventually settling in Port about 1892. Their children who survived to adulthood were Sarah F. Winters b.1861(my g-g-grandmother, m.John Wm. Winters & lived in Warren, Jackson, OK), Tom b.1865, Wm.Price b.1869, Robert Searcy b.1876, John b.1880, Josie Mae Kirk b.1882 (lived in Snyder), Joseph Augustus "Gus" b.1885, & Charlie Thomas b.1888. The last three would have been children in Washita County, while the others were already on their own. I think I have heard of a grocery store, maybe in Dill City. If any memories or county history bios are available to share, please let me know, or whom I may contact for further info.

My sincerest thanks,

ORGAIN, Delbert (Del) M. - Obit

HGrisso — 21 Aug 2007 3:48:58 GMT

From the Medford (OR) Mail Tribune 08-19-2007 at www.mailtribune.com

Photo included

Delbert (Del) M. Orgain passed away on August 16, 2007. He was born July 13, 1916, to Eb and Lydia Orgain of Canute, Okla.. He was raised on a Oklahoma farm, driving four head of mules and plowing by the age of six. His love of horses continued for the remainder of his life.

Del married Doris Brooks (Forbes) in 1938. They had three childred, Carl, Loretta and Lydia. They would leave the family farm, moving to Oregon in 1943. His marriage to Doris ended in divorce in 1955, and later remarried to Faye Fanger. Del lived largely in the Rogue and Illinoise Valleys over the years where he raised his family. He worked in local sawmills, drove a greyhound bus, owned and operated a service station in Prospect, Ore., worked as a cold storage operator, and after retirement, bought and sold cattle through out the local areas.

After the death of his wife, Faye, in 1999, Del moved from Cave Junction, Ore., to Medford, Ore., where he continued to enjoy working with his horses. He actively participated in cow penning and gymkhana, competition in Gold Hill, Ore., at the Estremado Arena until he was 88 years old. When his knees wouldn't allow him to ride any longer, he hooked a two wheel cart to his paint mare and still competed in the gymkhana at the age of 90.

He is survived by daughters, Loretta Heath Molano (Oscar) of Central Point, Ore., Lydia Graham (Bruce) of Shelton, Wash., foster son, Bill Johnston (Carol McKee) of Roseburg, Ore., sister Della Mae Jones (Glen) of Canute, Okla., brother Murray Orgain of Canute, Okla., daughter-in-law Marjorie Orgain of Virginia Beach, Va., 11 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Faye, son Carl R. Orgain and grandson Terry Orgain.

Book called Wagon Tracks Washita County Heritage

Linda_Rich — 5 Aug 2002 3:30:26 GMT

I have in my possession a book called Wagon Tracks, Washita County Heritage Volume 1.
It is full of stories from settlers and their families.
Send me your surname and I will be more than happy to see if there is a story for you in it. This book covers 1892 to 1976 and is full of pictures too!
It was published by Washita County History Commitee, Inc.
I tried to scan a page for another genealogist but did some damage to the binding so all I can do is retype the story if it is in here.
I will be gone for about a month starting August 26 so please ask before then or after October 1.

Frank Sanders family: Laverne, Elroy, Noble, Leon

karlajean129 — 2 Jun 2007 5:53:18 GMT

Looking for decedents of Frank Sanders b. 2/22/1884 in Bartholomew, Indiana. Frank was married twice, first to:

Lucille Schaffenberg (daughter of Charles and Jeanette) on 12/20/1911 in Greer Co.

They had three boys:

Laverne F b. 2/1915 Greer Co
Elroy R b. 1/26/1917 Greer Co
Noble W b. 5/9/1920 Kern Co. CA

As you can see they moved to CA between 1917 and 1920 where Noble was born. Lucille died by 1925 when Frank married Ora E Wood (daughter of Ollie and Laura Wood) on 2/27/1926 and they had at least one more child:

Leon b. 1/1928 Elk, Washita Co.

1930 census in Washita is the last known info on this family.

Frank is the child of John and Margaret (Miller) Sanders who settled in Indiana after the war. John was born to Thomas Sanders in Adair, KY who was the son of James Sanders. I'm working on the tree for James Sanders and need to find a few decedents to fill in the details.

Thanks,

Centenarians Interviewed?

garytshea — 30 Mar 2006 10:06:39 GMT

Hello.

Before my genealogical interest budded, my great grandmother Mary Catherine Shea (nee Fay) lived to be 103. She resided in Clinton OK and then Cordell before her death on January 15, 1974. She was born Nov. 1, 1870 in Lake Prairie township, Nicollet County, Minnesota.

I wonder if she was interviewed by anyone and if so where the transcript or recording of that might be.

It's kind of a shot in the dark, wishful thinking, and intuition, all in one.

Thank you.

ERWIN

jerry erwin — 6 Jun 1998 12:00:00 GMT

My request is somewhat unique. I have'nt seen my father since I was taken away from him in 1976, and I'm trying to get information on his parents.

Anyway, his name is Jerry William Erwin, born in Sentinal in 1938, and his parents were William(?) & Ruby Erwin. William Erwin died around 1940, and Ruby never remarried. My father grew up in Sentinal, and went to public school there all 12 years, graduating H.S. in 1957. I have personally verified this info, having lived with my grandmother in Sentinal for several months during 1976.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

lost churches in western oklahoma

CherylOverstreet75 — 13 Aug 2004 2:16:45 GMT

I am working on a project to locate and photograph the little lost church houses scattered around western Oklahoma. Many of the buildings have been converted to hay storage and lodgings and dozens have crumbled into history. Please tell me the story of yours. I want to record them before they are lost forever.
