THOMPSON
Submitted by
Faye Heffington on 2May2009
I have posted before looking for a burial site
for James Wyman Thompson, died 1930 at Spavinaw. His
last surviving child said they
had the funeral in a school and took his body by
wagon close by to a cemetery. The family moved
back to Texas and never marked the grave.
I know you meet around Memorial Day at this
cemetery and maybe this year someone has a
listing of unmarked graves and locations.

Also his wife should be buried beside him, I called

Surnames: CANTRELL, BARNHART, THATCHER
Posted on 8Mar2009 by Cora
Miller
I am blind and live in
Ottawa County, OK
I am looking for evidence
of two families in Mayes county 1910-1930- actually
three surnames
Jesse
barnhart
md. Jennie Ellen CANTRELL on 26,Dec.1910 Mayes County,
OK
I am needing a death date or
birth date for Mr. BARNHART
He apparently died before
Nov. 1916 because he is not on 1920 census and Jenny
married Joe THATCHER nov 1916 Mayes County, OK
Mr. BARNHART father John and
mother SARAH are also buried in Mayes County where can I
find the cemetery listings?
Jenny CANTRELL (Cottrell,CASTRELL)
family are also in Mayes County 1920 but most of them
including Jenny migrate to Muskogee County
and are buried there. The BARNHART family are
buried in and around River twp I suspect as that is
where they lived on census records.
I have checked Mayes County
archives and can not find a list of burials or
cemeteries that I can look into via internet.
I also do not have any idea
how or where to get or ask for an death notice /obit for
the BARNHART family.
They are ones I am most
interested in. My half sister is grand daughter to Jesse
and Jennie Ellen CANTRELL , BARNHART
Additional Info on 9May2009:
looking for burial, cemetery or funeral home records
for the following men.
I do not have a death date for them. Jesse
BARNHART(in 1910 census Jesse BANKART)
b. @1886 Mo. d. ? before Nov.1916 Mayes County, OK.
Jesse lived in "River twp, Mayes County " according
to 1910 census
He married Jennie Ellen CANTREL(Cottrell,CASTRELL)
Dec.1910 Mayes County, OK. We know that
Jesse died before Nov. 1916 because Jennie married
husband 2 Joe THATCHER Nov1916 Mayes County, OK. In
1910 census Jess was est. 24 years old
*****JohnBARNHART -b.@1862 Mo. d? md. Sarah? or
polly. He too lived in Mayes County 1910 census.
John wife died before 1920 census as on 1920 census
John lived in Mayes county and was listed as
widower. I am trying to locate death dates or
cemetery information on these men. I have tried
ancestry .com there are no records for Oklahoma
there. I also tried Mayes County gen web. that site
seems incomplete. I have library looking but it may
not be very successful as I have no exact dates.
Some of the BARNHART family lived around Spavinaw,
OK
I do not mind paying copies or gas.
Thanks for any help or
guidance Cora Miller blind in Miami

Mark, Russell, Clarence, Eugene,
Martha and Margarette
I was there last year trying to do the same thing. My ggrandmother, Nancy
Jane Jackson, is buried there, also. I drive up Hwy 69 and turned East on
69A. I stopped at a pipe factory and was they said to continue on 69A until
I came to a big water tower. I made a right at that street, don't remember
the name. Then traveled down quite aways until I came to a dirt road the
headed East, also. They told me that there would be a locked gate and I
would have to walk from there. If you drove someone would think you were
poaching and probably shoot you. Once I climbed through the gate, they told
me to make a left at the first road. It was about 100 degrees that day and
I had already went through 2 other graveyards in Drumwright. When I arrived
at the other dirt road it was very overgrown with brush you couldn't see the
road that well. I was in shorts and shoes and wasn't trusting the snakes in
that area. Needless to say, I didn't make it. Somewhere on the Internet I
did find a picture of her headstone. I'll try to remember where I found the
pic.
Surnames: STEPHENS, DYER
Submitted by:
Bill
and Kay Winter on 15Sep2008
James' full name was FRANK JAMES STEPHENS but all records seem to list him
as only JAMES STEPHENS. He was born in 1806 so he would have been 90 years
old. The information that I received said, "Spavinaw, Delaware Co., OK
, but I see Spavinaw is in Mayes County. Perhaps there is a cemetery that
is actually in Delaware County, but close to the county line. Some records
show he died in MO but was buried in OK. The story is that he slipped on
ice, broke a hip and died. That would lead one to believe he died in the
wintertime. James Stephens was married to Elizabeth Dyer. I know they were
in Hickory Co., MO at the time of the 1860 census, but because they had
Confederate leanings, the left shortly after 1860 and went to SW Missouri or
perhaps to Indian Territory. No 1870 census record has been found for
them. By 1880, he had moved to Arkansas and had re-married to Nancy
Pendergraft. I found
a newspaper article, Barrry Co., MO in January,1892 which said, " James
Stephens is going to the Indian Territory to make this his future home. Mr.
Stephens went there some years ago and __st (lost?) his wife and five
children, then returned but is going back again."
Can anyone tell me where James Stephens is buried, perhaps with his first
wife, Elizabeth and their children?

I am searching for a newspaper item of my Aunt Wellington Smith Adair who
was murdered in 1922 in Mays County by a negro farm hand according to her
husband obituary 7 years later.
In the obituary of George S. Adair from Bourbon Co., ky August 9, 1929 it
stated he was dispondent about the death of his wife, George committed
suicide on August 8, 1929 and it says his wife died 7 years ago yesterday in
Oklahoma when she was brutally assulted and murdered by a negro farm
hand, it says that the negro was afterward legally executed. I am assuming
from that date and 7 years back then she would have died August 7, 1922. he
remains were taken back to Kentucky for burial, There should have been a
front page articule on this person in the news. can anyone help with this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am home from the hospital now and would love to see what you have on

This murder gained much press coverage at the time. The "farm hand" was
Elias Ridge and was about 15 at the time. Elias was told by his uncle,
Hardy Smith, that if he would kill Mrs. Adair, he (Hardy) would give
him a red pig (according to the Court of Criminal Appeals summary of the
case. Mrs. Adair was supposed to testify against Smith in a whiskey
peddling case. Smith was a relative of Elias and also Elias probably was
"simple-minded". Both were convicted of the murder with Elias being
given death and Smith, Life. Both convictions were overturned on appeal.
Smith was released and not re-tried. Elias was convicted a second time
by a new jury and again given the death penalty. On the second appeal,
his conviction was converted to life. Elias died at the Oklahoma State
Pen in 1933 of TB..
The murder happened near the town of Pensacola in NE Mayes Co. I have
several newspaper articles about the murder as well as copies of court
documents. I am going to be out of state until after Veteran's Day but
if you will e-mail me with your mailing address and phone number I will
make copies and get them to you in a week or so.

My name is
Brian Siddall and I am a WWII researcher. I am currently researching
the burials on Omaha Beach in Normandy. From June 7th to June 8th 1944
Americans were buried directly on the Beach.
After that
they were buried in the Temporary Cemetery on top of the Bluffs which
became the permanent American Cemetery in Normandy in 1948.
I have
narrowed down my list of men buried on the beach to 42 who I have no
unit information for (i.e. Division, Regiment and even company if
available).
One of the
men is from your county. His name is Sammie Adkins Serial Number
38322691 killed on June 6th or 7th. I was wondering if you had any
information on him pertaining to his unit
that he was
serving with when killed on Omaha Beach.
