BATEMAN BACON EATON FAGER
I would like to find information about my great great grandparents and their families. I have the following information about them given to me by relatives. I am also told to look for a book that supposedly has a wealth of information...my brother says it is a black book about Adair County. I honestly think he said the name included the words "black book". Does this sound familiar at all? Here is the information as my brother gave it to me: Couple came to Indian Territory and settled in the Chalk Bluff Community of Adair County in 1911 and 1912. He was known in Stilwell and Adair County as "Uncle Andy". He died 19 Jan 1934. Mary Francis (BACON) BATEMAN died 16 Dec 1924 and is buried in Stilwell Cemetery. "Uncle Andy" was b. 6 Feb 1853 in Lee Township, Crawford County, Ark; m. 24 Jul 1873 in Washington County, Ark., d. 19 Jan 1934 in Stilwell, Adair, OK. Bateman Cemetery. Notes: Postmaster and County Commission. As a young man he was known throughout the territory as a sprinter. Seldom was he equaled. This brought him recognition and respect assisting him in becoming successful in the Griss and Meal Mills, buying and selling lumber and cotton also with a local grocery store in Evansville where he met and married Mary Frances BACON. In 1879 he moved with his five sons and three daughters then opened a grocery store in the Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Stilwell (OK). Had one of two homes in that town with a sidewalk. There he became the township's first treasurer because of his strong principles. County commissioner 1911-1912. Known throughout Adair County as "Uncle Andy". Had ten children. John Henry BATEMAN m.

BROWN CAMPBELL WOODALL
I am trying to find out something about my g-grandfather's ancestors from Adair County. His name was Frank BROWN b. August 12, 1858, in Goingsnake District and died March 15, 1943, in Narcissa, OK. He married Nancy Isabelle CAMPBELL in approx. 1883. In his Dawes application he states that his Mother's name was Marguerite WOODALL and his father was William BROWN. He says his Mother was a half breed and his dad was white. The Dawes Roll lists eight children - George (my grandfather), Mary M., Tennessee B., Fannie A., Frederick F., Nancy I., Robert E.L., and Ruth May. They were born between 1886 and 1904. The 1910 census shows that they had moved to Narcissa, OK by that time. Does anyone have anything that could be of help finding out about Marguerite and William BROWN? I am relatively new to genealogy and live in a very remote area of Wyoming so I don't have a lot of resources available to me.

FRYE SPENCER
In 1900 my great-grandparents were in Flint Township, Indian Territory. I checked on a map and that part of Indian Territory is now Adair County. Their names were Henry & Louella FRYE, their children were Benton, Mattie, Mary, John. In 1890 Henry was still in Yell County, Ar. I found an adoption record where he allowed a Robert SPENCER to adopt his four month old daughter, Essie Ollie FRYE, because his first wife Fannie had died. In 1909 Henry died adn Louella died in 1912. In 1900 all of Henry's family had left Ar. I believe that Henry and Louella were married in I.T., however, I've not been able to find a marriage license for them. Their first child Benton was born in July 1894. I would really appreicate any help. According to one of my great-aunts, Essie, the child that was adopted by Robert SPENCER came when Henry died in 1909, so I know she had to be in the area also.

MORRIS TURNER CALLOWAY
I am researching the MORRIS family which was originally headed by Gideon Franklin MORRIS and his Cherokee Indian wife, Rebecca. They lived in Cherokee Co., NC before they migrated to Indian Territory in 1867. I am particularly interested in finding descendants and information about their son, John Calhoun MORRIS. I believe his wife was named Evaline TURNER, daughter of Felix TURNER and Fanny CALLOWAY who were originally of Greenville and later Pickens Co., SC. Evaline TURNER was a twin of Meca Caroline TURNER. Evaline and John Calhoun MORRIS married before 1850 and were living in Cherokee Co., NC when the census was taken. John and Evaline both are believed to have died about 18651866. Their children moved to Indian Territory with the grandparents and left many descendants, there, who were on the Guion Miller Rolls. Would love to make contact with anyone researching this family.

WEST
Rosanna WEST my great, great , great grandmother was born in the Cherokee Nation East in Tennessee. Place unknown. Her father was Jacob WEST and her mother was Sallie HARLAN (HARLIN), who was at least 12 Cherokee. Jacob's father was possibly Levi WEST born circa 1732. I have information obtained from a will that I got from the LDS Family History Center. Does anyone have a copy of this will? Do you know if Jacob was indeed one of Levi's children. Who was Levi married to? Will share any information that you like. Rosanna married W. D. Nelson Rogers, son of Chief John Rogers, the last chief of the Old Settlers, circa 1842 in the Cherokee Nation West. Apparently she migrated to the Cherokee Nation with her parents as part of the pro-treaty, or Old Settlers movement. She and W. D. Nelson lived in Arkansas part of the CNW, but later moved to the Oklahoma part of the CNW. Any help on the West family is greatly appreciated.
