Richard, I read your message of april 2000. A little late in reply but, I am hoping you might be able to give me some leads. My ggrandfather was Jesse Yocham. He was born in Marion County (Lead Hill area) Arkansas about 1865. His first wife was named Annie Willoghby and they had one child named George Yocham who was born in Lead Hill AR. Jesse was living in what is now Haskell Co. Ok by the middle 1890's and married my ggrandmother, Mary Etta Blaylock in Fort Smith AR in 1900. The marriage license indicates they were living in Indian Territory at that time. Their children were my grandfather Edgar Earl Yocham and Roy Hubert Yocham. Family lore says my family came from Tennessee, moved to Arkansas and then to Oklahoma. My greatgrandfather had relatives in Texas, a brother I think, and my grandfather says he had a grandmother who was a Coker. However, I have never been able to get enough information to get past Jesse Yocham. Any hints, leads, info,. etc. would be appreciated
