Homesteaders from Montgomery & Wilson County Kansas
Homesteads shown in bright yellow belong to families known to have come from the area bounded by Neodesha, Independence, and Cherryvale KS. Those shown in pale yellow belong to related families known to have come from KS, and probably from that area. Click on a colored segment to see information about the homesteader or scroll down to see a list of homesteaders and family relationships. There is no reason to believe that all of the families who came to northeastern Oklahoma County from that part of Kansas have been found and plotted, but even this much shows some interesting family clusters.
