My gggrandfather, John D. SMITH, was Choctaw Indian. He
died about 1908 and is buried in the cemetery near the
Choctaw Council House in Tuskahoma. He was married to
Mary LOVE, who died about 1912 and was buried in the
cemetery near Sardis Lake. When the Lake was built, her
body along with a stillborn infant was exhumed and
reburied in an unmarked grave. Mary re-married after
John's death to a man by the name of HOUCH or HAWK. My
great grandmother was Sarah Linnie SMITH. She was raised
by Mary's mother Sarah MEYER LOVE after her mother's
death. Any help would be appreciated. I would like to get
the exact date of birth and death of John D. SMITH, if
