CEMETERY
Submitted on 9Nov2014 by Jeanine
Ridener
Stewart Place Slave Cemetery gravesites, located at the north end of Lake Tenkiller near the Etta Bend area were removed to another
location during the construction of the lake. Do you know where they may
have been removed to? I found one findagrave.com reference that place
three Negro Slaves in Barber Cemetery. I don’t know where the others were
relocated. Thanks for any help.

Surnames: CRAWFORD, BARLEY, WALL, WALLER, WALLING
Submitted on 5Jun2014 by: Adiene Humble
I am looking for my grandfather’s grandmother. His name was
Dee Crawford, son of Jesse Blackston and Emily
Elizabeth Barley Crawford. His grandfather was Joseph Barley and his
grandmother, Mary. Joseph Barley died during the Civil War in a
hospital. Mary told her girls, one who married Jesse and the other Andrew
Tucker, that she was going to be “with her people”. My grandfather told
me his mother was “Indian” but would not tell us more. My mom saw a
picture Joseph Barley in full NA dress in a portrait but whoever has it would
not tell and probably who has it doesn’t know who he is. Mary was born in 1825 in
Alabama and as my some of my grandfather’s uncles and aunts moved to OK
possibly she went to OK. There is a possibility of her last name being
Wall, Waller or Walling. Robert Barley was Joseph’s brother and they were
from TN. My Crawford family was from OK and in Texas by 1835 before the
Trail of Tears. By Dna, he was a descendant of
James Crawford.
Any help in this regard would be apprecialted.
I’m researching only for family reasons, no more. To
much paper work, too little available documentation. My mom’s family goes
back to John Chisum and Margaret Cooke.

My Mother- Ginger Hamilton Renaker, My Grandfather-
Roy L. Hamilton, My Great-Grandfather- James Porter Hamilton, My
Great-Great-Grandmother- Alice Victoria Layne Hamilton (Cherokee) sister to
Easter Jane Layne Hamilton (Cherokee), they married brothers. From my
understanding of the family stories, they were full blooded Cherokee. (missing
a step with their parents because of misunderstanding this paperwork), Alice's
and Easter's Grandfather is Andrew J. Smith b. 1763 d.1898 buried at Blue
Springs Cemetery. Sec.26, R21E,T18N, the paper with the
map of where he is buried says that it was recorded in 1970. He is burial plot

Surname: BUTLER
Submitted 25Jul2011 by: Katherine Trent I am trying to
find information regarding my great grandfather, Charles C Butler. Our family
Bible shows he married my great grandmother, Clara Mae Ramsey, in 1915. They
had 3 children. I found him on the Dawes rolls with his family, Aaron and Nora
Butler, card #1801. (big question right now is whether the Charles Carroll Butler that
is my great grandpa is the Charles C. Butler on card 1801.) We don't know
his parents names and so
I've had to stop that part of the tree at him and am not sure how to find out
more. We have never received any Indian benefits and do not have a CDIB,
however, I am very interested in our heritage as I have 4 children and want
them to learn. My grandma, who is 1/2 Indian, both Cherokee and Choctaw (on her
Father's side) has a tomahawk from the Cherokee side that belonged to her
great grandfather, who by family lore was an Indian chief. It has etchings in
it that my grandma was told was for recording scalping. My children have been
checking out books at the library about Cherokee Indians. I am wanting to bring
them to Tahlequah to teach them more about our heritage, and would like to
learn more about my own family. My grandma remembers visiting extended family
in dugouts and teepees, and was told stories of her great grandma coming to Oklahoma
on the Trail of Tears.

Surnames: BROWN, BOSTON
Submitted on 14Jul2011 by: Nan Vandergriff
My Mothers family reunion is coming up March 2012.
Her name was Thelma Leona Brown Maynard King Stringer Truelove. She
is buried at the Molly Fields.... I am interested in any information that
anyone might have on Elmer Brown (grandfather) and Della Boston (grandmother)
Family stories have Grandpa being a
descendent from a Cherokee mother ...and there were rumors of grandmother too.
But any information that you might have would be good from either grandparent.
They are both buried in Molly Fields Cemetery and lived for years out on loop
route north of Tahlequah. I used to ride in the back of grandpas
truck into town, where he would sit at the courthouse with the men there
whittling and 'chawin' tobacco...while my cousins and
I scooted from the dime store to the various store fronts 'gawkin'.

Surnames: BARRERAS
Submitted on 8Jul2011 by: Jason Cabral
I have been trying to find out information about my Great Grandfather regarding
him being Cherokee Indian. It has been a pretty long search because we didn’t
know where he was born. But finally my family came
across some paperwork that says he was born in Cherokee County, OK, Joseph Barreras, birthday January 14, 1882, with that, is there a
Hall of Records or somewhere I can track down his birth certificate, it would
mean a lot to my family to prove that we are Cherokee?

Surnames: FURLOW
Submitted on 26July2010 by John Furlow
Seeking information on how I might obtain a
copy of a Cherokee County old age pension for John Allen Furlow.
I recently obtained a copy of a letter from the
Cherokee Court Clerk dated Nov 9, 1936 requesting a certified marriage license
from a county in Arkansas so John Allen and his wife Annie Pollard might be
granted this pension. I was told by the OK Historical Society these county
pensions were not archived at the state level but were maintained only at the
county. Thanks in advance
