Re: Hume in Oklahoma
My grandfather, Ellsworth Hume moved from Marian Co. Indiana to Oklahoma in 1890's via Kansas. He participated in the Last Great Land Rush into the Cherokee Strip and claimed a farm east of Garber, Garfield Co. Oklahoma. About 1910 he moved his family about 40 miles west to Enid, Oklahoma the county seat of Garfield County. He subsequently was elected a county commissioner and sheriff, was an automobile dealer, and raised six children. His father was a Baptist minister in Indiana and later in Clearwater, Kansas. HIs name was Ambrose Coleman. I have traced the family back to Scotland. You can check out my "Hume Family" Tree which is public.
