 A year ago while researching a branch of my family I discovered that my grandfather, Karl McDonald Jacobs, had a sister Lillian Jacobs, b. September 5, 1906 in Van Wert, Ohio.  What makes the discovery of Lillian interesting to me is that there was never any mention of her while I was growing up.  As I have been able to discover so far, when she became an adult she assumed the name Jean [Von] Macklin, a man named after his father, and lived the rest of her adult life as a man.  He moved to Tulsa, OK in ~1940 and worked for the Tulsa World [then known as the Tribune] newspaper as their librarian until his death in 1960.

        While searching through the 1930 census today I discovered that Lillian, who had been orphaned at the age of 7, had an aunt Lois Velma [Jacobs] Woodward, who was living in Mayes Co., OK at the time of that census.  I discovered your name when I looked up Mayes County on Google.com to determine where it was.  Since it's apparently close to Tulsa, I thought that Lillian may have chosen Tulsa as a place to live as a result of a visit [or correspondance] with her aunt.  I believe that Lillian's story has some interest beyond genealogy so I want to determine some of the details of Lillian's odyssey.  Since I live in California and know very little about your area of the country, you could help me by commenting on my theory that Lillian may have bee  drawn to Tulsa through some contact with her aunt.  Next if you could recommend someone to search for additional details such as when and where Lois Woodward [as well as her husband] died, if there are any children or other relatives, especially in OK, etc.  I have already obtained a copy of Jean Macklin's [sic Lillian Jacobs] death certificate, but I would also like more details about her work history at the Tulsa newspaper.  Please answer by return E-Mail.

       My Father (Albert Brown) was in the Whitaker State Home from approximately 1915 until 1923. Do you know if the residents of the State Home are listed in the 1920 index or Census? I've tried using the Ancestry 1920 index but no luck even searching under just the last name. Do you know if they were possibly listed separately but not on the index. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My husband is the author of three books on Oklahoma history and we are doing research on his fourth. Some of it took place in Mayes County, Oklahoma. We are looking for any information, pictures, stories, etc., on the following:
April 25, 1921, bank robbery of First State Bank of Locust Grove
February 9, 1922, bank robbery of Adir State Bank

Do you have any information or know of someone that we could contact regarding this. We will give credit in the book for any help that is received.

Have places several queries on this site before concerning a burial site for James Wyman Thompson.  
He died Feb., 1930 and is supposedly buried in the Spavinaw cemetery.  The family left for Texas after he
died and never placed a marker there for him. Am hoping that someone might be new to this site and have some information on Spavinaw Cemetery.  He was the nephew to T. Wyman Thompson, under-sheriff.

My name is Danielle Wurl. I lived in Locust Grove about 23 years ago, with my aunts. I do not know there last names there maiden names were both Dutton. There first names were bonnie (lenora) what I called her. and Lizabelle (belle) what I called her. Iam doing my family tree and Iam sure they both died there. My aunt Lenora raised dachshunds. If you have any info on them please Email my thank you Danielle Wurl

Looking for any information on Andrew(Andy) J. Thompson, b. 1876 MO whose parents Alexander and Martha Thompson migrated to OK in the early 1880's.  He possibly married a woman named Flora. He was a brother to James Wyman Thompson and nephew to T. Wyman Thompson.  In his later years possibly after Flora's death, an Edith was his wife.

Looking for possible military records for Andrew J. Thompson...nephew to T. Wyman Thompson.  Was wondering if anyone had any WWI records showing those who served from Mayes County? 

am looking for someone who lives around Rose, Mayes Co., OK.  Who might have information about Bluford and Maggie Cantrell.  The were buried in the Rose Cemetery.  I think the church there might have some information about them.  I donot know the name of it or the address.  I would like to get a copy of Bluford's death sert if possible 

Just checking back to see if anyone might have discovered more on Andrew Thompson who md. Flora Wingfield in 1895.  He was a brother to James Wyman Thompson and nephew to T. Wyman Thompson, under-sheriff.
