Huxtable Descendants of Oklahoma...

"I need to talk to someone about early Oklahoma history. My grandparents were married in California in 1880, but somehow ended up in Oklahoma prior to 1897, when my mother was born in "Garfield County", maybe Alva. Her brother was born in 1900 in Major, Oklahoma. Her sister, married to a SHROYER was in Alva. My mother along with her mother returned to California by the 1910 census were back in Sonoma County, where a lot of my ancestors were located. My mother was orphaned in 1914 and returned to Oklahoma to live with her sisters family. These are the family members and what I know from Census info, etc...

Charles Bruncley Nelson ; Virginia Catherine Smith (Nelson)b: 1860, IL m: Charles Nelson 1880 in CA (Charles & Virginia are my maternal grandparents), 1900 census had family in Crowlly, Woods, OK with 3 children, including Ema(sic)Clarence born after census. Emma Bernice Nelson b: 14 Apr. 1897 Wilcox, Garfield Co., OK, d: Fresno, CA 1992 (MY MOTHER). Emma Bernice married Ira Floyd, maybe in Anthony, KS about 1917, They had a son Johnny in about 1918. By 1920 Emma was in Colorado, and so were the Floyd grandparents, no sign of Ira. It can be assumed that she left Johnny with grandparents and returned to California where she married George Huxtable, 7 Sept 1921. Son Born December, 1921 was probably Floyd, but raided as George Robert Huxtable. I was born 12 years later. Clarence Oscar Nelson, Brother of Emma. Henry Oscar Shroyer, Buelah Marie Nelson (Shroyer), 10 April, 1884-3 Set 1950, d: Dayville,OR. Alva, OK has also been mentioned, so I know they were there. Why? How did they get there from California? How did Emma, Clarence and their mother get back to California? So many counties were renamed that I am lost. Can you recommend a book on Oklahoma history, ca. 1897-1910? Point me in a direction, please. Land records have not helped me." -- Ferne Leslie Email: ferneleslie@sbcglobal.net   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
