Looking for information about my great grandfather and his family. He was born 8-20-1885 in Indian, Penobscot, Maine and at some point moved to the Big Cabin, Oklahoma area. It is said that he was of the Chickasaw tribe. I would like to confirm his origins and indian heritage (if this information is acurate) and the history around his move to Oklahoma. Thank you.

Hi petiegirl. The notes I have on Wiley Cleveland Raulston are :
Pottawatomie Co, OK WW1 Draft Reg. He was born Aug. 20, 1885 is listed as White,
He died6,Aug.1934 in Big Cabin, Craig Co, Ok.
He married Josie Farmer on 1,Jul, 1909 in Tecumseh, Pottawatomie, OK.
Josie Farmer b. 14,Jan.1894 in Ardmore, Chickasaw Nation, Ok.
Josie d. 21,Aug,1975 in Vinita, Craig Co, OK.
Josie Farmer,s parents, Benjamin Franklin Farmer, and Susan Margaret Ball.
On 1900 Ok Federal Census, it list Wiley C. Raulston, as White, son, b.Aug. 1885, age 14 born, Indian Ter.,father b. Gergia, mother b. Ark.
Wiley,s mother was Eliza A. Raulston, Head of Household,Widowed, White, b.in Ark, and her parents born in
Ala. other children, all listed as white, Andrew, M, age 18, it shows Eliza as having 11 children born, and 7 are still living.
Also living with them, is another son, Carson C. Raulston age 8, born, I.Terr.
Also there were 2 grandaughters living with them. Eva, and Silbian ?, both are a Raulston, age 7 and 5. both b. in I.Terr.
I don,t know if this will help. You can look at the Dawes records at accessgenealogy.com. I do know that there were Raulstons on the Dawes records, and check Ralston too. There are many Farmers. Arabella M. Raulston family was through the Everidge side. Card 1546. The Raulston married into the Everidge family.
Also, Wiley,s brother, Andrew M. married Josie,s sister, Roena Farmer. Roena also married a William Henry.
In the Pottawatomie Co, OK marriage Bk, No 12, pg, 254, it shows W. Raulston to Josie Farmer, 7-1-1909.
Good luck. Vidia

Thank you so much for the response. We have just begun our journey of discovering who our ancestors were and where they came from. This information is very helpful.
