Hi Katie,

We communicated regarding our common ancestors over 10 years ago. Have you progressed on your search for the Rogers-Mosley-Goldsbury connection? I continue to search for the mother and father of Isaac Rogers. Issac was born in apprx 1866 in Lawson, Mo, married Jane Goldsbury in July of 1866 in Richmond, MO and died shortly thereafter in Lawson of a farming accident. Jane moved to Jennings, Kansas to live with her oldest brother, Mack Goldsbury. There she gave birth her son by Isaac, Elmer Riley Rogers. A lead I am pursuing is that Mack was married to Sultana Mosley. Mack's mother in law's maiden name was Elizabeth Rogers. Is it possible that Isaac Rogers is related to Elizabeth Rogers? Isaac spent his entire life in Lawson and was a farmer. Do you have any information on the family of Elizabeth Rogers?

Jann Wallace Rogers

(spouse Randy is great grandson of Jane Goldsbury Rogers/Isaac Rogers via Elmer Riley Rogers.)

Mary Stewart

tazuskala42 — 2012-05-17 14:42:20Z

Any chance that there is a Mary Stewart (enrolled Choctaw) who may have married Coleman Matthews Taylor in 1907 in your lineage? Coleman and wife Mary would have been my grandparents, but can't seem to find anything about this Mary. Thanks, Tom

Hello Melissa! Yes, Hurshel was my grandfather. I know Eloise pretty well. She is my mom's half sister. We're all looking for the same thing. I have not heard from Joy in several years. You may have been at your grandmother's house when my brother came to visit her. Both your grandmother's siblings were there, as well as a large portion of their family. I've promised Eloise that I will search and search until I find something. We know that she lived on a reservation here in Oklahoma, but the problem is knowing what her last name was before she married Rex Snapp. (Said to be Cattleton, but I'm not convinced.) I've also been trying to find where they married, but no luck so far. My email address is: sherryd1313@cox.net if you'd like to "talk" that way. Thanks for responding to my message.

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

reneemarie16 — 2010-12-04 16:05:22Z

My father was alive then so I know that much is definite. She was buried in Maude, OK in 1946.

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

reneemarie16 — 2010-12-04 14:05:46Z

No, I don't know her first husband's last name or anything about him. I saw Mary and Joseph too, but their Sarah died in 1925, so I don't think she is correct.
No son named Sisney. They were Lee Bourell, Elva Hunter, Joseph Bourell, and Robert Fulingen (who was adopted after his mother was killed). I know them, as Joe was my father. All they knew was that their mother was very secretive (they think she ran away from her first husband bc he was abusive) and that she was born in Texas. I am almost positive that she was never named Wilhoit though.
Thank you so much so all your time so far!!!!

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

Brightstarr10 — 2010-12-04 13:46:53Z

Sorry, that was Sidney Wilhoit. Also, what info do you have that shows sarah Gibbs died in 1946, and did it state what name she died with and where? Bryghtstar

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

Brightstarr10 — 2010-12-04 13:09:42Z

I did not locate a marriage between them, so they probably were not married. Do you know at least the last name of her first husband? Where they may have lived at? Did she have a son named Sisney? Maybe the childrens names might help in locating her. I did find a family living in Tx., a Mary and Joseph Gibbs with a daughter named Sarah, who married a Wilhoit, would that name sound familiar to you? This family went to Ok from Tx. and back to Tx. Anything you can think of might be a connection. Bryghtstar

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

reneemarie16 — 2010-12-02 19:46:58Z

My father thought she was at least half Cherokee (if that helps).

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

reneemarie16 — 2010-12-02 19:46:06Z

I don't think there is any legal document supporting it, but she was "married" at one point to Charles Leo Bourell. I think she might have also been married before that to another man. I believe she left the first man and the second one left her. She had at least 4 children. I believe she was one of at least 8 children, as her middle name was Octavia (because she was the 8th child).

Re: Mary Bell Gibbs

Brightstarr10 — 2010-12-02 17:45:05Z

Marion Mansel Smith born in Stigler in 1892

My grandfather's birth stories state that he was born in Stigler, Indian Territory, OK on Aug 28, 1892 to Milton L and Nancy Jane Crow Smith. Is there any way to verify this through records? How could I find out? I appreciate any info or leads. Also, if anyone knows of this family and could give me any info on how long they were there or where they came from.

Thanks,

Re: MATOY RELATIVES

tayawoman — 2010-05-20 16:12:44Z

Hi there, yes I am interested in communicating about our ancestry. I did know there were 3 more. However, I think some of the info I have on our William Ray of the choctaw nation is intertwined with your william ray.

Could you email me at: tayawoman@yahoo.com and we can see what info we can trade?

Either way, I'd like to untangle the mess! Thanks so much! Its always nice to meet another Matoy out there!

William Ray Matoy born Ft. Gibson I.T. 1866. I would love to get in contact with you. I have a lot of informaion on the Matoy family. Do you realize three at least other William Matoys. On who lived in Jay, Ok. I think he passed in 1898 He was married five times. William Matoy from the Choctaw Nation who married Mary Folsom and our William Matoy who married Cora Bell. If you are interested we contact me.

Mary A. E. "Lizzie" Smith Deaton

NHP67 — 2010-05-06 19:27:38Z

The Poteau Valley Genealogical Assoc. provided me with my gr-gr-grandmother's name as being Mary A. E. "Lizzie" Smith Deaton, wife of William Lee Deaton and mother of only known child, William Joseph Deaton, buried in Hontubby cemetery, OK. Her son having the name "Joseph" leads me to think her father or a sibling had the name "Joseph", as that name is not in the Deaton line. PVGA also provided Lizzie's burial as being in Cavanal Cemetery wherein a S. S. Smith is also buried, but can't make a connection to my "Lizzie" Smith Deaton. Still haven't located who her parents/siblings names are or basically anything other than the aforementioned, and would most grateful with any leads in this direction. Born 26 Oct 1868, died 10 Aug 1891 in LeFlore County, OK, age 22, 1/2 Cherokee (family story goes)with family originally from Georgia. This is the grandmother I initially started my research for, and now have many branches of other families, but she is STILL the lost branch. Her only known son married my gr-grandmother, Lola Bizzell Deaton, mother of my grandmother, Lillian Marie Deaton Harrison, wife of Edgar LeRoy Harrison, both died 1950's in Poteau, LeFlore County. Thank you for any assistance on Lizzie or any of these folks!

I have very limited information on Sarah. She was born in 1859 in Jackson County, MO to William and Missouri Rider, is found in the 1860 and 1870 census, and died 18 Jan 1879.

Reseach has uncovered Sarah J. Rider, b. 19 Mar 1859 in Lykins, Ray County, Mo., to William Rider and Missouri Hensley.

Sarah died 18 Mar 1937. She is buried in Ft. Leavenworth National Cemetery under the name Sarah J. Parker.

I am searching for any info that relates to Warren Jones and Ella(last name unknown). It was stated to me that they were from Tennessee and they had several sons; Benjamin Franklin, Tom, Jim. Benjamin Franklin supposedly was born in Texas but not sure. He was born in 1872. He got married in the Indian Territory of the Cherokee Nation in 1895 to Mary Ann Nally in Muskogee and had lived in Choteau, Indian Territory. Jim Jones supposedly owned a big hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Have researched Warren and Ella in Nashville, TN but came up with nothing. Would like to know where Warren Jones was from and where Ella was born and where did they live? Any details would be greatful.

Register your family

Glenda_Sorrells — 2008-04-30 02:52:35Z

A few years ago I was looking into the Oklahoma websites. I saw one that said you could register your family if they were there before Oklahoma became a statehood in 1907. I believe it was a Centennial project they were doing for the 1st 100 years. Our family was there in 1900 and I would like to register them if at all possible. If anyone know about this I'd appreciate hearing from you. My thanks in advance: Glenda from http://www.Myblueangel.net

I'm also looking for my great-gr-grandmother, who was a Smith. I'm told her name was Mary Smith and she married William (Will or Willie) Deaton, who was born 1867. They had a child named William (Will) Joseph Deaton. I was told she died during childbirth. The only child I've found is Will and unable to find any marriage records, birth, census as he was born July, 1891. I'm told this is the line of Cherokee from Georgia, but don't have any further info. Please help if you can! I've been at a deadend for a couple of years with this Smith line. Thanks!

Seeking Blackwell Cousins and Their Ancestors

maddsmith — 2008-01-17 20:22:54Z

To all Blackwells and Blackwell Researchers: A group of roughly 20 Blackwell cousins, descendants of the presumed brothers George Washington "Wash" Blackwell (b. 1794 Hiwassee Valley, TN) and Joseph Blackwell (b. 1805 Hiwassee valley, TN), are seeking additional cousins to share existing family research and to focus on further research, including possible participation in family DNA research.

The goal of this effort is to determine the parentage and earlier ancestry of these two brothers, who were presumed born in TN (one possibly VA) but migrated to what is now Hickory Co, MO in the 1830s. We know there are fairly large concentrations of these brothers' descendants currently living in Hickory and Taney counties in MO (both brothers)and in the area near Big Cabin in Oklahoma (primarily descendants of GW), but we would like to establish additional ties to others descended from them. Please respond to Doug Smith at smithdr49@yahoo.com Thanks
