Teresa LeFlore Wed Oct 15 11:14:21 1997
Fred or Frederick LEFLORE was my great-grandfather and I am trying to find anything and everything about him. I just know that he married a woman named Mary BEAN had a child by the name of William LEFLORE and that is all I know about him. I think he might have fought in the Civil War as a Buffalo Soldier and after the war I think he moved to somewhere in LeFlore County and might have remarried and had a family. I would also like to find out more about Greenwood LEFLORE I have heard that he is my great-great-great-great-grandfather. I would like to know if there is a family tree for him to see if I can link him to Fred LEFLORE.
