Surnames:  WRIGHT, JOHNSTON, CUSHMAN
Submitted on 16Feb 2015 by: Susan Boyd

I am looking for a Bible Record.  It was used when Etoile Laird Wright who married Thomas Arnison Johnston joined Mayflower Society.
Etoile was descended through the Cushman’s and Wrights so I am not sure of the name for the  Bible Record.  I believe that she did not have any children so therefore that is a dead end, though I am going to try to find her obituary.
Any assistance will be welcomed.

Surnames:  FRAKES, STENNET, MCINTIRE, MOORE
Submitted by Bill Brinly on 13Mar2013

In 1900, my cousin Ernest Moore married Pearl Scott Moore in Jeffersonville, IN. In 1910, Ernest, a streetcar motorman, died from appendicitis. Ernest was 34 years old and besides his wife Pearl, he left a daughter Sara nine years old. Ernest is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville.
I have never been able to find out what happened to Pearl and Sara after Ernest's death. But recently, I learned that Murray Frakes, Pearl's father and his wife and his children all moved to Tulsa, OK around 1910-1915. Maggie married into the Mcintire family. Lewis never married. Henry married Estella Hedgecock and had several children. Blanche married the brother of her father's third wife Josephine Stinnett.
This still leaves me with the question, what happened to Pearl?
Ernest Moore's father was Nichols Moore, my grandfather's brother. There were 16 Moore children born in Madison County, KY or Fayette County, KY. My mother Ruth Mary Moore, born in Frankfort, Ky., was the daughter of James Clay Moore the 15th Moore child. Sara is on of the missing cousins that I yet to locate.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Surname: MOCK, MACK
Submitted on 1Jan2013 at: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.oklahoma.counties.tulsa/2758/mb.ashx
Looking for information on the D. M. MOCK (or MACK) who lived Sand Springs, Tulsa Co., OK when the 1930 census was taken. He was age 29, b. AR, parents b. OH/IN, and worked in the Oil Fields. His wife was Mattie, age 34, b. MO, and he had three step-daughters, Liddie, age 13, b. MO, Ruth, age 11, b. MO, and Billie, age 9, b. MO. The step-daughters' surname was TABEL or TOBEL.
I suspect that this man could be the Dewey MOCK, b. 27 Mar 1899, who was a son Calvin Louis and Melissa Ann (NOE) MOCK. Dewey had some first cousins who lived in Tulsa Co., OK, but that could be a coincidence, and not proof that D. M. MOCK is Dewey MOCK. I would appreciate whatever information anyone might have on D. M. MOCK.

Surname: GALLASPIE
Submitted on 29Sep2012 by Jeeper
 I heard from the Tulsa library that there were no death records for this Phillip S. Gallaspie. He was born Oct. 31st 1881 or 80, in Ohio. His marriage to Jennie Kester was in Mt. Gilead, Ohio in 1904. He is listed as being from Defiance, Ohio What we also know is that he was working in the oil fields in Hartford City, Indiana, before they moved to Tulsa in I'm guessing 1916 or so.
Some info I've seen from the Tulsa phone directories say this:

1. Jennie owned a boarding house on Archer street and ran a cafe/restaurant. (I don't know if pictures were taken of this establishment, or what it was called? But it's circa (1917 to about the 1930's).

2. Phillip worked at I think it says Reid's Gas and Machine?
3. Phillip is listed as (Wid) on Jennie's directory listing in 1935, a year before her death on the street.
Not too sure how to go about researching that further, but if anyone has any thoughts or suggestion's please let me know.

Surnames:  SANDERSON, COLE
Submitted on 18Oct2010 by Tamara Langford
I have already tried to email two people who's email address came up when I pressed on the surname "Sanderson" on the Oklahoma Gen Web site. My Sanderson ancestors have been one of the most difficult to find information on. My great great grandfather Robert Sanderson, moved sometime between 1901 and 1909 to Tulsa Oklahoma with his son Charles Arthur Sanderson and family. They resided together. I found them (along with Charles sister ... surname Cole) in the Tulsa 1910 census. In the 1920 census Robert is not there and neither is the sister. I believe she moved on to California, but given the time I think that Robert Sanderson must have passed away between the two census years.  Can you help me at all? I would like to know when Robert Sanderson passed away as well as his son Charles and where they might be buried. If you can't help with the information can you point me in the right direction as to where to look? I have tried the IGI as well as Ancestry and there is no information on my Sanderson line in Oklahoma. They moved from Cook County, Chicago to Oklahoma, but Charles was born in Michigan and Robert was born in England.  I hope you can help with my search.

Searching for dates of birth and death of Charles O. Frye (born September 1859 in New York) and wife, Vandella M. A. Burke Frye (born June 1860 in Alabama). I do not know if there is a series of cemetery books for Tulsa County, Oklahoma or not? 
Charle O. Frye and Vandella M. A. Burke were married on 15 May 1878 in Sebastian County, Arkansas, and settled in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri before finally settling in Tulsa County, Oklahoma. Vandella M. A. Burke Frye was a daughter of Elihue Preston Perry Burke (6 April 1836-29 September 1896) and his wife, Miriam/Myriam J. Penninger Burke (born ca. 1841). Records indicate that Charles O. Frye died in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the 1920's. I think that he and his family were buried in Tulsa County, Oklahoma. The children of Charles O. and Vandella M. A. Burke Frye were: Oscar B. Frye (born ca. 1883 in Missouri); Howard Frye (born ca. 1886 in Missouri); and Roy Frye (born ca. 1888 in Missouri).

I did check the funeral home book index and it does not show any listings for Charles O. or for la, although they probably did die in Oklahoma.  Look them up on the census records and they will show the approximate birth date and state where they were born.  Only obit I was able to find on this family is for Roy, who died in November of 1930. keith345@hotmail.com

I am trying to find a birth and/or marriage records for my deceased aunt Ruby Juanita Allen, whom, I am told, married at a young age, about 16, a Vernon Moore which my grandfather supposedly had annulled. She later married a Howard Hendricks.  Could you help me please? I am almost sure that she was born in Oklahoma as her brothers and sisters were.
Her parents were William A. and Myrtle Ora Hammond Allen; they were married in Newcastle, Oklahoma in 1908. They were living in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the late nineteen twenties and early thirty's. There was also an uncle to me, named J. C. Allen who was born sometime between nineteen eighteen and nineteen twenty two. And another aunt named Thelma Allen, and an uncle named Alva M. Allen who were born between 1908 and 1911. Thelma died as an infant or small child.
My father, Homer William Allen, their third child according to his birth certificate, was born near Washington, Oklahoma, August 31, 1912.

I am looking for a man, E. L. Potts that married Mae Gish in Arkansas in 1925.  I do not know what the initials are.  The marriage certificate age would give his birth year about 1184 or 1885.

On the marriage certificate he indicates he is from Bixby, Tulsa, OK but got married in Arkansas
Posted on 29Jan2009
He appears to be the Edward Lewis Potts that registered for WW1 in Muskogee county, Okla. Based on that, he is found in 1900 Newton county, Ar. Prairie Twp. with parents, Marion and Nancy. He's indexed as Edwan Potts but shows birth as Feb. 1885 as his WW1 registration card.  1880 his parents and older siblings are also found in  Prairie Twp, Newton county. Father listed as Francis.
Also found there in 1870. His parents burials are listed on Find A Grave in Bald Knob cemetery in Boone county and brother
Lester M. in Western Grove cemetery in Newton county. 
Hope this helps,  Judy

I recently purchased a home on West Brady St in Tulsa.  I am told that William Bruner was the owner of the land many years ago and after doing research, I would have to say that this is true.  I was also told that he may have lived in a small house that is also located on my property.  The house seems to be pretty old and I am actually in the process of updating it.  I am trying to find out if this was actually his home at one time?  Do you possible know of where I can find information on where he resided?

I have an old picture of a group of employees at car dealership somewhere in OK but I am having a difficult time trying to find out where.?The photo is priceless, four feet long with at least 40 people from mechanics to secretaries. On the front window is “Ryan Motors” Main St. This picture was probably taken in the 20’s or 30’s. I have not been able to pull anything up on the web. My Dad’s Uncle sold cars here and he thought it was in McAlester but on a sign in the picture was “Alva Rooms”  I contacted someone from Alva who said the picture was not taken there.  The photographer was from Tulsa. Signed on the left side of the photo.  Could you help me out here. Thanks,

Surname:  NEW
Submitted by:  Millard New on 16Sep2008

I've been trying to locate a daughter of a great-uncle. Her name was Phyllis New and she was born about 1925, probably in or near Oklahoma City. Her mother and father, William Harrison New and Ruth Bess Munson-New, both died in and are buried in Denver, CO (1965 & 1976, respectively). The cemetery record for mother Ruth states that her next of kin is Phyllis New and she, too, lived in Denver in 1976. However, there is no cemetery record that Phyllis is buried in this cemetery nor does she show up in an on-line telephone search. I assume from the cemetery record that daughter Ruth never married. Subsequently, I found a Social Security Death Index for a Phyllis R New who was born on 14 Sep 1924 and died 5 Jul 1996 with last residence given as Tulsa. I'm thinking that this might be the Phyllis for whom I've been searching. If possible, could someone search the obits near 5 Jul 1996 for her obit? I'd very much appreciate it.
