BICKSLER
Libby Stone [dlstone@winco.net] February 2008 Updated May 2008 I am searching for information of JAMES T. BICKSLER b. 1848 Virginia.
He relocated from Henry County, Iowa to Kay County, Oklahoma in 1903.
He married Catharine Mathews. She died between the 1910 and 1920 census.
Children were: Search of available records finds the following: You mention that copies would be available for Jessie's will, and also land records for James T Bicksler and descdendants. In the Henry County Iowa newspaper it says that in 1903 James and family departed for Oklahoma " where Mr. Bicksler purchased a large tract of land last spring." I don't know if this implies homesteading or not, but it something that I would like to follow up on. I am attaching photos of the Bicksler's tombstones
at the Blackwell Cemetery, Kay County, OK. Well, you made me cry with the tombstones ! I don't know why ! When
I saw James tombstone, I just lost it. I guess when you have been tracking
someone for a decade and finally find a resting place, emotions take
over. The funny thing is, this is really a collateral line for me. James
T. Bickslers son, Frank, married my great aunt, Mary Inez Oldt. This
is such a sad story. Mary died the same year as their only son was born.
She died of consumption. Her husband Frank and little son, relocated
to Kay County Oklahoma with his Dad and family. This was 1903. Before
the 1910 census, Frank had drowned in the local river, leaving John
Paul an orphan at age 4 !! James raised him. He is the one I am actually
tracking. (John Paul Bicksler) He is my Dad's first cousin. My Dad will
be 91 in May and has always wondered what happened to John Paul. I have
tracked him through 1938 in Fargo North Dakota, but then he and family
disappear. That is another story altogether !! July 10, 1904 Kansas City Star, Kansas City,
Missouri carried a article that Frank Bickslet had drown and the body
had not been recovered. [Nothing could be found in the local papers]
UPDATE MAY 2008 One of our members has been transcribing the
obits and death notices in the old newspapers 1893-1908. These are on
the PGS Website.

BLACKWELL Douglas Smith [maddsmith@starpowerr.net] April 2007 I am working to establish the early history of the
Blackwell branch of my family, which is concentrated in central and
southwest Missouri. However, due to some information I have discovered,
I believe there may be a connection between the two brothers that
brought my Blackwells to Missouri and other Blackwells who may have
settled in Oklahoma. I'll try to help you if I can
concerning your Blackwell branch. |
WILLIAM WALKER BRIGHT Rick Albright [KD6DKC@aol.com] October 2005 I found a William W Bright listed
on page 222 for the Newkirk Cemetery. It reads: Bright, William W
- no date - died 9 July 1919 Age 70 years; also a second one: Thank you so much for the above information. William Walker Bright, 1849-1919 was born in Gallia Co., OH; the youngest child of Virginia-born Jacob Bright & Maria F Shields Bright. The family moved to Decatur Co., IA when William was about two years old. William’s sister, Mrs. Emeline Bright Hinds, also moved to Oklahoma, settling in Payne County. I have no record of William marrying, but the younger William you found would seem to be a son. I was stationed in Norman, OK at the Nave Air Technical Training Center in late 1957, so my family has several connections to your state ,gg. Thanks again for sharing your records. I did some follow-up research after your e-mail arrived
and found that the older of the two William W Brights WAS married—three
times!—and that the younger William W was his grandson, via son Arthur
Bright, who also lived in Kay County, as did a second son, Earl Bright.
Between living in Iowa and moving to Oklahoma (before 1900) the older
WW Bright also lived in Washington Co., KS (1880) His first wife was
Loisa----and His third was Alice--. I don’t mean to flood you with
a bunch of information you don’t need, but I just wanted to show that
your cemetery data produced several breakthroughs for me and I do
thank you. WW is only a cousin to my direct ancestor but I work all
the family lines and I love adding leaves to the family tree…Rick |
BRENT Richard [VRAE16@aol.com] October 2005 I found the following information
on page 222 of the "Cemetery Inscriptions-Kay County Oklahoma"
published by our Pioneer Genealogical Society of Ponca City, Oklahoma
in 1978, under the Newkirk Cemetery. Thanks very much. We were lucky enough to be helped
by your group a couple of years ago. Verle's great grandfather disappeared
from Orange Co, Indiana in 1910 and never heard from again. Some rumors
had him murdered. One son looked for his father for the rest of his
life & never knew what had happened to him. His grandson was very
grateful to find out what had happed to him. Thanks again. Richard |

BRINEY [Joodybos@aol.com] January 2004 I'm trying to research the death of a "BRINEY" infant/child, first name unknown, in the 1920's, Blackwell, OK. My grandparents were Jessie Blanch (SHAW) and John "Nels" BRINEY. They had a son who died and was buried in Blackwell somewhere. I'm assuming the Briney's were farmers since that's what they did most of their lives; or built bridges. Believe they moved to Iowa in 1930's. The death would have been prior to 1926, since that's when the mom died (young). Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Briney is buried in the Plainview
cemetery, northeast of Blackwell. The stone says |

BAUGHMAN Adam Baughman [abaughman@bren.ucsb.edu] I am trying to research my family lineage and when I did a search of Irvin W. Baughman, my great grand father, on the Metacrawler search engine, it brought up this website. I could not find his name on the website however. I would have thought this search result just a random matching of the words Irvin and Baughman except that I know that my relatives did live in Ponca City for quite some time. I was wondering if you could be of some help. Irvin has been my "brick-wall", so to speak since I have not been able to research farther than him. He was married to a Bertha Davidson and had at least three siblings, Homer Olive and Laurie. Irvin had four children, Ira, Harry, Loren, and Fannie. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated Kay County Marriage Records [Application dates] Kay County Courthouse-Newkirk, OK Baughman, Irving W - Davidson, Bertha
