Mays-Henson

I have rewritten the information on the Mays/Henson clan to reflect only information that came from family documents, rather than family oral tradition.  I made contact with Raymond Mays, who has done a marvelous job tracing the Mays' back to the 1660's in VA.  He has published his information on Ancestory.com and it is quite well done.

The Mays clan and the Henson clan came to the Garvin County area many years before statehood.
John Henry Mays operated a Dry Goods store in Beef Creek, IT in the late 1860's to the turn of the century. He came to IT with two of his brothers, David and William. There were several other brothers and sisters living in Arkansas and Texas.  All three fought for the Confederacy with the Arkansas 2nd and 4th Infantry. All three survived the war and came home to IT. David and William were ranchers who homes were the center of many social activities. William Mays was married to Georgia Ann Thornton, who walked the Trail of   Tears as a child and was crippled by frostbite from the trip. William and Ann had three daughters, Susie, who was my grandmother, was the youngest.  The Mays pedigree has been traced back to the1660�€™s starting in Charles City County, VA. Susie married Joseph Marion Henson.  Joe and Susie Henson were residents and prominent citizens of Maysville.  Susie was quite a civic-minded person during the 20's-40's. She was in many clubs, wrote poetry which was published in the Maysville News. She as also known for her many folk medicine remedies in a time when there were few doctors in the area.  They had five children -Juanita, Anita, Billie Mays, John, & Cherry. Susie died in 1947 from complications of a Black Widow spider bite. Joe Henson died in the early1980'safter being mugged in Maysville. He was 90 years old at the time. John Henry Mays was my great-great uncle and married Ella Burnley from Grand Cane, LA in the 1890's. She taught piano and was very active in the Baptist Church in Maysville. "Aunt Ella", as she was called by the whole town died in1956. Her house was just off Main Street and it was in front of her house that the Potts murder took place in 1944. The home is still standing.  The Henson home was just behind the old croquet court, and was torn down during the 70's. I would be interested in hearing from anyone with additional information about the Mays, Henson, and Thornton families. I would be especially interested in confirming any information about Georgia Ann Thornton's parents and ancestors her siblings.

The information below is what Joe has corrected.

The Mays clan and the Henson clan came to the Garvin County area many years before statehood.

John Henry Mays operated a Dry Goods store in Beef Creek, IT in the early 1860's. He had two brothers, David and William. All three fought for the Confederacy with the Arkansas 2nd and 4th Infantry. All three survived the war and came home to IT.
William Mays was married to Ann Thornton, who walked the Trail of Tears as a child and was cripple with frostbite from the trip. William and Ann had two daughters, Susie, who was my grandmother, and Hanna. William and Ann were both killed by renegade Comanches, circa 1890 and both daughters were taken hostage and raised by the Comanches.
As teenagers, they were given to Quanah Parker, had his fifth wife raise the sisters and re-educate them in the white man's school. They both married white men.
Susie married Joseph Marion Henson, who was born in the back of a covered wagon just after the gun fired to open the Strip, April 22, 1889. Grandpa Joe and Susie Henson were resident's and prominent citizens of Maysville.
It is my understanding that John Henry Mays is who Maysville was named for. I have always been told so in my families oral history.
Susie was quite a civic minded person during the 20's-40's. She was in many clubs, wrote poetry which was published in the Maysville News, and was a staunch Baptist. (as were the Mays') They had five children - Juanita, Anita, Billie Mays, John, & Cherry. Susie died in 1947 from complications of a Black Widow spider bite. Joe Henson died in the early 1980's after being mugged in Maysville. He was 90 years old at the time.
John Henry Mays was my great-great uncle and married Ella Burnley from Grand Cane, LA in the 1890's. She came from Louisiana by oxen cart and taught piano and was very active in the Baptist Church in Maysville. "Aunt Ella" as the whole town called her died in 1956, and was over 100 years old. Her house was just off Main Street and it was in front of her house that the Potts murder took place in 1944. The Henson home was next to the railroad tracks where the old croquet court stood.
If any one has additional information about the Henson's or the Mays I would like to hear from them.

Sylvia McCarty Potts ( Sept 24, 1901 - Dec 6, 1943) was the victim in the Potts murder mentioned above.  She was my Grandmother and I submitt this in honor of her, the Grandmother I never knew.  See Dripping Springs Cemetery

Mary Ann COURTNEY (b1832 Arkansas d1911 Arbuckle) was married to Henry C. DECOURTNEY (prob b 1820s d1873 prob OK) and they raised 11 children to be full-grown. Mary Ann was part Chickasaw and came to the Arbuckle area in 1840. According to her obituary, she lived 1 1/2 miles west of Arbuckle and was buried in Walnut Cemetery, but I have been unable to find this.
Henry C. DECOURTNEY was born in Virginia and it is uncertain just when he came to Oklahoma. At some point, he shortened his name to COURTNEY.
If what one of his daughter's claim, he was part Chickasaw. He served in the Mexican War in Walker's Company 6th US Infantry as a Sergeant and was wounded. Relatives recall that Henry ran a ferry where Mud Creek and the Red River converge. I am not sure exactly where this is, but could be in Arkansas. He also raised pigs.
In my research, I have found that Mary Ann and Henry had to make at least three visits to the judge in Fort Smith, Arkansas. On October 20, 1872, Henry visited the judge and was accused of selling liquor in the Indian Territory. He was let off, probably because of a statement by witness, Martin D. Sandefur who stated "I live above the mouth of Mud Creek in the Chickasaw Nation. The only time I know anything about the defendant having any liquor in the nation was about 3 years ago, just after he was shot, the doctor gave him a bottle of bitters." In 1881, Henry had to visit the judge again for "introducing spirituous liquors into Indian Country."
Mary Ann was called to the judge for contempt of court in 1871. She wrote an interesting letter to the judge, dated august 18, 1871 from Fort Arbuckle, Indian Territory where she told the judge that she had been sick and unable to come.

DAVIS - MALICOAT
Joseph Sanford DAVIS
Field Worker: Maurice N. Anderson March 30, 1937
Biography of Mr. Joe Davis (white)
Parents: James Robert Finley DAVIS, Ala. (deceased) Millie BLACKWELL, Ala. (deceased)
Story Told By: Mr. Joe Davis, born March 21,1881, Alabama
I came to the Indian Territory with my father and mother in 1892. I was 11 years old, we came through on the Santa Fe train from Texas to Pauls Valley, Indaian Territory.
On arriving at Pauls Valley, my father bought 2 horses and a wagon, we loaded up our household things, that my father has shipped through. It was not much, we had 4 chairs, table, homemade bedstead and a few other household things.
My father moved to Purdy, a little place about 25 miles southwest of Pauls Valley. There was a store, lone schoolhouse, Blacksmith shop and a Grist Mill. This mill was ran by steam and owned by Mr. PARK (HARP). The Blacksmith Shop was owned by Jim WELCH. I do not remember who owned the store. I went to school at this Log School house. A white woman was my teacher, I do not remember her name. My father had to pay her one dollar a month for me. Us kids that went to school did not have desks, we used slates and set on the hued down logs for seats. I had a blue back speller and a reader. I think there was about 25 or 30 children went to this school, the year I went. I did not go much the second term, only on the days we could not work in the fields. I had to help my father on the farm.
My father had about 100 acres leased, he raised lots of corn and cotton. He would haul the cotton to Pauls Valley on the Washita river. I believe this mill and gin went out of business.
There was lots of deer around Purdy, when we moved there, I have seen as high as 15 deer in one drove, around the foot of the Table Mountains, south of Purdy. Wild turkey's I have shelled corn and feather, about one mile from our house was a big turkey roast, they would come around our corn crib early of a morning. We could have turkey anytime to eat we wanted to. I have gone hunting and would not even shoot at a turkey. I like rabbits better, there was lots of coon, possum and skunks around Purdy.
I have broke wild horses for my father when I was 14 years old. Sunday, that was our "fun day". After Sunday school a group of boys that lived around Purdy, would meet at my house, nearly all owned saddle horses. We would go out on the prairie, there was not very many fences then. We would rope calves and have our rodeo, riding these calves on Sunday was when I learned to ride. When I was at the age of 15, I was not afraid to try any wild broncos or did I not care how big the steers were. We boys would make up $5.00 purses for the best rider for that day. I have won several times.
My father raised some cattle and hogs, but his main crop was corn. Corn was cheap then, I have seen my father sell corn for fifteen cents a bushel. My father sold about 20 acres of corn for ten cents a bushel in the filed. I do not know how much corn the man he sold that year gathered, but we usually made forty to fifty bushels an acre.
I lived with my father and mother around Purdy, until I was married in 1900. I married Lisa Sarah Malecoat, daughter of F. L. Malecoat, who was a big cattle man around Purdy, when my father moved there. My wife was born in Purdy, I do not know how long her people has been in the Indian Territory, before my father and mother came there.
After getting married I moved on a farm and went to farming for myself. In later years I have raised as high as 75 bales of cotton a year. My wife and I have reared 10 children. I now live 3 miles west of Pauls Valley. I have lived around in what is now Garvin county for 45 year.

Submitters Note: A copy of this interview was sent by Walter Malicoat January 20, 1994. The third child born of Joe and Sally Daivs died at the age of 3 from a spider bit. Sarah Elizabeth (Malicoat) Davis wasn't born at Purdy, Okla., she was born in Tx.

MCKEE-FLETCHER
William Robert McKee was born in 1863 in Clinton Co., Missouri. The McKee family moved from Missouri to Texas when William Robert was about 10 years old.  While living in Texas, William married Mary Elizabeth Fletcher.
 
Family tradition has it, that sometime around 1900, William Robert's family including his mother, Martha Amanda McKee, and several siblings along with their families moved into Indian Territory. Their son, James Andres McKee, was just a little boy at that time but he said he remembered fording the Red River with a team and wagon.
 
The McKee's were farmers and had to work hard. Mary Elizabeth, whom they called Molly, often had to lend a hand with the plowing, the planting and tending to farm animals. Of course, her main responsibility was the never-ending work of caring for her large family. She and William Robert, whose nickname was Bob, had eight children.  Six of these were born after they moved into the Chickasaw Nation.  Included among Molly's work was doctoring the family through injury and illness. But Indian Territory delivered a high rate of accidents.  Most families grieved for the loss of at least one baby or child.  The McKee family was no different.  Their little daughter, Barbara was only 6 years old when she cut her leg on the rusty water dipper.  Even though Molly tried every home remedy available to her, their daughter developed blood poisoning and died. This was in 1906 before anti-biotics existed and blood poisoning was a common threat to early Oklahoma pioneers.  Little Barbara was buried in the Katie Cemetery in Garvin County. Mary McKee died just a few years later in February of 1910 at the age of 42 and was buried next to her daughter in the Katie Cemetery. Her headstone reads: "Wife of W. R.  Here lies one who in this life was a true wife.  She was by many virtues blest and pious."
1910 census, Brady Township, Garvin Co., OK.
McKee, Robert W. 47 born in MO, Andress 16 son born in TX, Clara 13 daughter born in OK, George 11 son born in OK, Manda 5 daughter born in OK, Charley 3 son born in OK, Anna 9 months daughter born in OK.
 
Also found on the 1910 census in the Brady Township area of Garvin County was William Robert's mother, Martha Amanda McKee, who was 70 years old and living with her sons, Charlie, Edd, James and their families.
 
Bob still had several children living at home after his wife, Mary, died thus he remarried quickly to a widow woman named Mrs. M. J. Charles that June of 1910 in Garvin County.  It is unknown what happened to his second wife, but in 1915, he married his sister-in-law, Rhoda Fletcher, in Garvin County.  Rhoda's husband, Thomas Jasper Fletcher, had died in 1911 and was also buried in the Katie Cemetery. However, on the 1920 census, Rhoda was not listed as living with Bob and his family. 
 
In the 1920 census, William Robert still lived in Brady Township, Garvin County, OK. 
McKee, Robert W. 55 widower, George 21 son, Mauda 15 daughter, Charlie 12 son, Annie 7 daughter.
He lived next door to his son, James Andres McKee & his young wife, Liddie (Pearce) McKee.  This was in the Satterwhite area.
 
Also found on the 1920 census in Brady Township in Garvin County was Martha Amanda "Maud" who was 81 years old & still living with William Robert's younger brother, Edd and his family.
 
Martha Amanda (Gribble) McKee died on November 27, 1920.  She was buried in the Katie Cemetery.  Her headstone reads: "She believes and sleeps in Jesus." 
 
William Robert died in 1929 in Garvin County, OK at the age of 66 years.  He was buried at the Katie Cemetery beside his first wife, Mary.  His headstone reads: "Dad, None knew him but as a friend."
