RICHARDSON
Denise Krueger [volska1@mwt.net] May 2008

Hello-
I'm trying to locate the burial place of Lafayette Richardson, who died 03/11/1911, most likely in Ponca City, OK. Also looking for other Richardson's who died in Kay County, names of George W; Margaret (Brown) Richardson; Delbert; or others with that name. The others would have been in the Blackwell or Kildane area.

Thanks so much! LaFayette has been lost to the family for a long time. Would love to find out if there are still related Richardson's in the area. :)

Denise,
I haven't been able to find out a thing about Lafayette Richardson or the others you mentioned below.
There are numerous Richardson's buried in several of the cemeteries I checked, but I would need some 1st names & at least a birth date to check for any others than the ones you mentioned.
I will be glad to check some more for you if you'll supply me with names. I have marriage records, also, if you think some might have been married in Kay Co.

Hi Shirley-
I've found that LaFayette died in Oskaloosa, IA but here are names of the other Richardson's related to him that I'm seeking:

George W Richardson, b Illinois 1832, son of Solomon Richardson b 1800 in North Carolina. Solomon's wife's name is Rebecca, b 1808 in South Carolina.
George's wife is Margaret (Brown), b 1832 Ohio.
Their children were
Doran W Richardson, b 1857 Wisconsin. My lost LaFayette lived with him in 1910 in Oskaloosa, Mahaska Co, IA. I find Doran back in Oklahoma again in 1920 in Cooper, Kiowa County OK with a daugther named Neva. Doran had the following children: Margot b May 1882; Ruby M Born May 1884; Oren W Born Dec 1885; Cleta O b Dec 1887; Niva B Born April 1890; Paul R B Feb 1892; Ruel A Born Aug 1894 and Evart b April 1898. .

Ervin b 08/01/1894 " died in Springfield, Green Co, MO. He married a woman named Julia, born 1900 in Oklahoma and had at least four children, Kenneth W Born 1920; Norman J born 1922; Dorothy K born 1925 and John P Born 1929.


There is another son, don't know if they ended up there. Joshua Richardson, b 1830 Tennessee, wife Eliza b 1835. Their children were
Francis M Richardson b 1856 Illinois
Isa b 1858
Richard born 1861
Rachel b 1862

We're also missing another son, Solomon Richardson Jr, b 1837 in Rock Island, IL.
Hoping to find decendents of these lines, to see if anyone has old photos of the elder Richardson's.
Any help would be very much appreciated. This line has been lost to our family for 150 years. :)

Shirley Harlan (PGS)

I want to thank you for all your work. Please send me your address and I will send something to submit into your genealogical society newsletter and also a small donation
This would be my family. I would love to know if there is a local DAR chapter – they may have found or copied part of the Rader family Bible. That would have been a find!
Thank You Judy Frisch

Yes, there is a DAR chapter in Ponca City, also Tonkawa, & Blackwell is in w/Ponca. This is one of the DAR ladies ndhum@sbcglobal.net (Donna Humble). I talked to her abt. your question of the Bible, but she doesn't know of any that was copied.
I live in Blackwell Shirley Harlan

Will pass the donation on to the PGS. All donations are appreciated since we are a fairly small group.
Thanks again~~~~Shirley

ROBERTS

Mahala [mellington@io2online.com] July 2004

Peter J. T(isdale) Roberts (son of John Cantrel Roberts of Granite, OK, and Wise, TX) married Ellar?? in 1899 in Oklahoma. We aren't able to find her name, and are searching for a source for OK Territory marriages. Willing to post the family tree (Smith Robers Hayes Crow et al) or it's on ancestry.com. Where can we look for this source?

I have checked the Kay county, OK records and did not find the record in question.
I'm assuming that since Granite is in Greer County, that you have checked all available listings there? As far as I can find out there are no combined Oklahoma Marriage records. I think that most if not all of the counties do have marriage indexes available, so if it was me I would start fanning out to counties from Greer county with queries like you sent to me. The usgenweb website is a good place to start asking for lookups http://www.usgenweb.com
You can also find genealogical societies thru your search engine...some of these have online indexes. Or send queries thru their emails.

ROGERS

Herbert Geisler [junior@aceks.com] April 2004

I am searching for any information on my grandfather. I was told that he and two of his brothers worked at the 101 Ranch. Probably sometime in the twenties.
Any information on a George (Janson) Rogers, James Rogers or a Buck
(probably a nickname) Rogers or information on how I might get a list of participants in any of the Wild West shows would be very much appreciated.
Thank You. Cynthia


The Rogers were not listed on any of the information I have. Unfortunately, there is only scattered information about the 101 Ranch. The best location to get information is through:

Kristina L. Southwell, Manuscripts Librarian
Western History Collections, University of Oklahoma
630 Parrington Oval, Room 452
Norman, OK 73019
405-325-3641

www.kaycounty.info has a listing of the 1911 and 1925 show and we are going to be putting up a 1916 listing soon.

THE ROYAL AIR FORCE 1941

Simon [sab_2020@hotmail.com]

I hope you can help me?, one for the local historians. My Father first learnt to fly for wartime operations at Ponca City airport /air base in 1941. He was in the city on 7 Dec when Pearl Harbour was announced. He still has a model of the Pioneer Woman statue. Does anyone have any records, details or information about the RAF at that time? Until 7 Dec 1941 they were officially "not there", so information might be scarce. I would be grateful for any history available

ROLLER

[Email bounced] Feb 2004

I am looking for an obituary notice or any other info on Clyde (possibly Isaac Clyde) Roller, my husband's uncle. He was born in Phillipsburg,KS Aug. 1893 and died in Tonkawa,OK in May 1972 according to the social security death index. We are trying to locate remaining family members. In 1911 when my father-in-law was born his older brother Clyde had already left home, hence the very loose connections. Linda Roller 1115 McDougall Dr. Lander WY 82520-3534 (307)332-4185

ROBERTS

Jimmie Vivian Roberts-Scheuber

Researching the family of Jessie ROBERTS and his half sister, Elizabeth "Lizzie" HENDRIX. Lizzie was born February, 1885 in Indian Territtory, Oklahoma according to 1900 Murray County, Oklahoma census. She was living with her mother, Mary VAUGHN ROBERTS and Bill ROBERTS. By 1910, she was probably married, since she did not show up on the census of Johnson County, Oklahoma. She was married to Jesse PEUROS or PARIS or PARISH, who may have been a native American. She had one son, Ike PEUROS or PARIS or PARISH. She was married between June 1900 and June 1910, possibly in the Davis, Oklahoma area. Her mother was Mary E. VAUGHN and her father was John HENDRIX. He may have also been called James B. ROCHESTER or Bill ROBERTS. Last known residence was Waurike, Jefferson County, Oklahoma or may have been Ponca City, Oklahoma. She died after 1928, place unknown
