unmarked grave at the Caney, OK cemetery. She had 3 sons, Louis
Washington, LeRoy, and Warren Russell. She had a sister who married
Thomas HOPKINS. He is buried in a cemetery east of Caddo. We do not

Brentlinger, Chiles, Cobb, Hogan, Saunders. I am looking for my family
roots and these are some of the names I seek information about. I was
born in Caddo Oklahoma and live so far from there it is difficult to
find info. I am also just starting to do some history on my family.

I am looking for the burial place of Joseph Schooling Jr. He was born 18

Schooling I am looking for Joseph Schooling Jr. It has been said that he died in Byran
OK. I have search as much as I can from where I live. Could you give me a
idea where to go next. I have tried the state but he died before death cert
were required. Is there someone who could look up the 1900 federal census for
me and see where he could be living? I really need help here. He was the son
of Joseph Schooling and poor Joseph Jr was said to be retarded and was sent
to OK ca 1885 after his brother John Logan Schooling of Lawrence Co, MO died.
I really appreciate any help you can give me on this. Mona

I was wanting to know if you knew anyone that does research of other
people at the Bryan Co. Heritage Research Library. I live in Carmi, IL
so it is hard for me to get information. I know that my Grandfather was
raised around there and died there. That library could help me in my
search. Thank you,

My birth certificate shows that my father , William Junia McFARLAND, was born in Bryan County. His birh date was June 17, 1890. His younger sister, Ida, was also born in Bryan County about two years later.
My father always said that he was born on a farm "on Caddo Creek, near the watermill". Ida also said that she was born on "Caddy" creek. This leads me to believe that the McFarland family lived in Bryan county for at least 3 or 4 years - 1889 - 1893 ? I have not been able to find a Caddo creek in Bryan county but I do know that there is a town by the name of Caddo in the northern part of the county.
My grandfathers name was Samuel Marion McFARLAND, my grandmothers name was Varah ASKEW McFarland. They were married in Palo Pinto County, Texas in 1878. The two names that I would like to have added to your list are McFARLAND and ASKEW.
I am trying to get leads on the parents of William and Varah. I have had no luck in Palo Pinto County. If you have any suggestions on where I might search in Bryan county I would be grateful.
Walter McFarland 307 Old Albany Road Moultrie, GA, 31768 912 - 891 - 3634My mother, Hazel D. GOOCH was born in/near Caddo on 3 October 1912. Her
father was John W(?) GOOCH and her mother was Exie Pearl TEAL. My
grandparents were married in DeQueen (Sevier Co), AR in 1904 and moved
to OK sometime in/after September of 1907.
There is oral history of Native American ancestry, but this has not as
yet been established.
