ThomasTugman BA 1890 we have lost his father and mother help please
I am a direct decendant from one Thomas E. Tugman born about 1890. He Maried a della (do not know maiden name). He had three children Evelynn Tugman,Thomas Tugman, and My Mother Mary Tugman. My great grand father was a Tugman all I know. Only hint I have is apearantly he married a chacktaw squaw. She was my Grandfathers Mother. He told a story that one day when he was very young a man came rideing in and tried to rape my great grandmother. She killed him. Great grandfather took the fall for the Murder. Becouse he felt that during this time they would have killed his wife. Evan if she did kill him defending herself from his advances. I know that they are the Oklahoma line of Tugmans. My mother can remember going to Oklahoma to visit his family as a kid but she does not recall any names. She also can rember my grandfather telling stories of visiting his mothers side of the family on the Reservation. I asume the Oklahoma Chacktaw reservation. But not certain. Grandfather was a halfbreed that looked white and he did not realy talk about the indian side becouse of the trouble he had seen it bring on people. Any help here would be greatly apreciated

I am amazed that you know this story. My grandfather also tells it. He had a twin whose name I do not know. Is your grandfather's name Fred?

My father is Bennie Tugman he has several brothers, Zane, Frank, Meril and a couple of sister I do not recall their name. I was told my Grandfather was Chactaw and my das family was from oklahoma and New Mexico territory. I am i the process of looking up my dads surving Brother. The rest of his family has passed. We were not very close to my dads side of the family. So it is slow. there could be a conection here.

Hi Kerry, I am Cathy, Frank's daughter. It is good to see you on here. The last time I saw you and Lori was at Uncle Bennie's funeral. Hope you all are doing well. I wanted you to know that I found our name in a Jewish book of names. Grandpa told my mom a story about one of his forefathers escaping from Whales with his life in danger. From the area of the world that our name originates from, I think we have a lot to thank that ancestor for! There is not much of a way to find out if grandpa's story is true now, but it is intriguing. Take care.
