Trying to find a connection to my DRISCOLL/DRISKELL family

Classification: Query
Surnames: DRISCOLL/DRISKELL/THOMAS/UNDERWOOD
This is all I know of my Driskell/Driscoll family at this point: My great great grandparent's were Emery(Emory) & Josephine Driscoll nee Elmore. I believe that Emery(Emory) may have been born bet. 1860-1865. It is believed that he married Josephine (Josie) at abt. the age of 17 years, which would put their date of marriage between 1877-1882. We're not sure which of their children was the oldest so I have not listed them in any particular chronological order. Children: Artie Mae THOMAS, nee DRISKELL/DRISCOLL, b. Dec. 13, 1887 Kansas, MO (or, Missouri, KS); Jesse DRISKELL/DRISCOLL; Elsie DRISKELL/DRISCOLL; Doris DRISKELL/DRISCOLL; Ted (Theodore?) DRISKELL/DRISCOLL; Harvey (Bud) DRISKELL/DRISCOLL, b. Mar. 5, 1894 Arkansas, Arkansas; d. Sept. 2, 1918 overseas; was a private in the Canadian Infantry Alberta regiment.
My great grandmother Artie Mae married Jessie THOMAS in 1903 in Tees, Alberta Canada. Jessie's parent's were Jerome THOMAS & Lucy THOMAS, nee UNDERWOOD. What records I have found for this family always has their surname spelled as either DRISKELL or Driscoll. The family seemed to follow this migration pattern as I've found so far: Michigan, Kansas or Missouri 1860-1890; Arkansas 1894 - ?; Iowa 1895 - 1897(?); Tees, Alberta Canada 1898 - 1903; Roseburg, Oregon 1904.
I managed to find one entry in the Western Dominion Land Grant Applications for my gggrandfather Emery in Alberta, Canada. I have an undetermined date of receiving the micro film reel to view, but what info I did get were the dates of application bet. 1898-1903, and that he signed said application as "Emery Eli DRISKELL. There is also an entry for them in the LDS records online dating their marriage as abt. 1888. I know they had my great grandmother in 1887 so they were most likely married in 1887. Also states that Josephine Elmore was of Michigan. Only other entry for Emery Eli Driscoll is that of a census at age 16 in Michigan with a different family as laborer.
Well for now that is all I know about them at this point. I really hope that someone on this list may have a connection, or possibly be able to help in some way(seems they'd always just moved before a census was taken).
