McWILLIAMS / CAMPBELL (unknown) Harmon County, OK
Am trying to find out info on the McWILLIAMS and CAMPBELL families. Robert S. McWilliams was born: May 15, 1920 in Hollis, OK. He was the son of Wm. Robert and Carrline (Campbell) McWilliams. He had one other brother and several sisters. Family tradition says he was a large farm owner with many outbuildings to house migratory workers when the crops came in. He lost everything during the depression and the family eventually went to So. California (prob. late 1930's.) Carrline (Campbell) McWilliams parents, Samuel (b:1847, d:1922) and Fredericka Campbell (b:1852, d:1915) could very well be buried around Hollis. Can anyone help me? Thank-you.

CANSLER, Charles (0000) Hollis, Harmon County, OK
This was my great grandfather. My great grandmothers given name is unknown. They were known by friends and neighbors alike only as Mama & Papa Cansler. They had 4 children: Bonnie Cansler, Fannie Myrtle Elise Cansler, Guy Cansler, Goldile Lee Cansler. I need to know Mama Christian & given name, also where she and Charles originally came from. It is my understanding that they were among the first white settlers in OK. There are still Canslers in Hollis, and I am sure they must be relations. Also, my mother, Patsy Jean SARRELS, Goldie Lee Canslers oldest child is buried there.

Hello,
Are you searching for the family "Byrd"? My grandmother who's maiden name was Byrd (Ida Estelle Byrd). Her father's name was James L. Byrd and mother, Priscilla (don't know her maiden name). James L. Byrd and his family were on the 1920 and 1930 census for Harmon county ,Oklahoma. I can't find him has a child anywhere. The census says that he was born in Arkansas in 1870, but I haven't turned up any record of him.
He may be of indian descent, but that could be just a family rumor. If you know of any information on him, I would appreciate it if you would email me with the information.

Surname: PETERSON

Please add PETERSON to your list.
My great-uncle Martin Peterson and his wife Annie O. "Ossie" Jones Peterson lived in Harmon County at the times of the 1910 and 1920 censuses and afterward. Both are buried in Riverside Cemetery in Mangum.
I have just started researching my great-grandparents, Peter and Mattie Christina Peterson, who originally immigrated from Denmark and moved to a farm southwest of Duke, Oklahoma shortly before 1900 and remained in the area until their deaths in 1928 and 1922, respectively. Tena (b. 1875), Annie (b. 1879), Martin (b. 1881), Mary (b. 1883), John T. (b. 1995), and William M. (b. 1898) Peterson were their children. All of the children were born in Texas except Tena, who was born in Illinois. Annie Peterson married Awlcie Carter and lived in the area. Tena Peterson married Oscar Denton around 1901 and was in the area until at least 1910; after that, we have no idea where she or they may have gone. Mary Peterson married Doc Star (or Starr) around 1906, and ultimately settled in Lubbock, Texas, although we don't know when they moved. John T. Peterson married Dewey Darby and remained in the area; he is buried in Rock Cemetery in Duke. William McKinley Peterson, my grandfather, married Katy May Tyson and lived in Duke, then eventually moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where he and my grandmother lived until their deaths with their 5 children and numerous grandchildren close by.
Thank you, Nancy Peterson Pardo Fort Worth, Texas
