Would the Choctaw Nation census include the area that was Pushmataha County?
Am looking for Birdsong family that I'm not able to find in Texas or

Birdsong and son Marion Flemuel Birdsong in 1900...F.M. should be 56 b. TN
and son M.F. would have been 11 b. TX in 1900.
I have access to Heritage Quest but using the Birdsong name in 1900 index
does not bring him up, so do not know if abstractor spelled it different or
what. Also in t
I too am interested in information for this time period. I have found

Was there any type of head counting (census) around 1890 in LeFlore or
surrounding counties? How does one search the area for non-indian
ancestors in the area during this time frame? Any information most
greatly appreciated.

Hi Bart,
My great granduncle, John Preston PURKHISER and his second wife Vianna
(Viney) were living in LeFlore county between 188 - 1895. Two of their
children were born in Talihini in 1892 and 1899 respectively. Both had
previous spouses and there were around 8 children with them in all.
John Purkhiser worked in the lumber mill business and since the area had
mountains it makes sense they were there?
Coincidentally, my own FORMAN Family lived in LeFlore County as well
(Panama and Bokoshe) betwee
Yes OK had an 1890 census...there is also a census 1860 Indian Lands West of
AR....which would be OK. CensusView.org has both of them.
Good luck in your search!

Okay I already knew that statehood was not until 1907. The question is
whether a census was done in 1890 or 1900 in Indian Territory and if these
would have included non-Indians. Might some whites have been included in
Arkansas even though they actually lived in Indian Territory?

When you are doing research for LeFlore County for the 1890 and 1900 census, you need to search in Indian Territory for the census. Oklahoma was not a state at this time. Paula

If you have a subscription to www.ancestry.com you can get the 1900 census of "Indian Territory", "Choctaw Nation" and then go to the town. The 1900 census is images only and can be time consuming of both Indian and non-Indian residents. The 1890 census is not available for Oklahoma/Indian Territory. However, someone told me that the National Archives have the census. Paula

I, too. am interested in those censuses. My grandparents, J. A. and Leona
Balentine came to Indian Territory from Wayne Co., TN, before going on to
Arkansas. But I have never been able to find out where in Indian Territory
they were. What areas or countries did "Indian Territory" cover, anyway?
Does anyone know anything about the Indian trail that went around Poteau
Mountain? Did Whites use this trail to come into Arkansas? If not, at what
point did they enter Arkansas?

For the LeFlore Co. 1900 census they are under the Choctaw Nation Indian
Territory. --- Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com has the 1900 census and one
maybe both have a name index for this year. If you have a name I might can
look it up for you. Judy

Hello Mildred,
I would appreciate you looking for a James Barton. He was white and was born
in Missississipi. Last known to have lived in the town of LeFlore about this
time. He also went my Jim or Jamie. Wife's name was Sallie, born in
Ireland. A son (my grandfather named Jessse) was born in LeFlore in 1888.
Thanks for any help.

yes there was a census done, you have to look in "whites in IT" I think you
might find that information in the Muskogee Historical Society, perhaps
even in the Leflore Historical Society, or in the Oklahoma Historical
Society. That would be in Oklahoma City, all are on the net if you go to
google and type in the town you are looking in. Hope this helps a bit.

Jackson Co.,MS. and I'm pretty sure a few cousins are in the Choctaw Indian
Territory.
