Hello everyone! I am posting the below msg for someone who is not a member
of this list. Hopefully someone can help Pamela. Please reply directly to
her. Thanks!

----------------------------

Hello I am trying to locate my gg grandfather in Pittsburge county and
seeing McAlester is closest to the township of Krebbs for which I am
seeking answers from I thought I would try through you.
If you cannot help please disregard and if you know of someone who can do a
lookup for me perhaps you would be kind enough to send me their email
address or pass this on to them which ever would be to your preference and I
thank you for your time.

I am going to start with 1880 someone told me that the family should show up
in the 1880's census IT.

Township or community of Krebbs

George Gahagan abt 28 born abt 1852 place possibly PA.

Wife Sonora Isabelle(called Nora) abt 25 born 1855 Place unknown.
Married in Randolph County Arkansas May 21, 1876.

Child 1. Mary J. Gahagan born Sebastian County Arkansas April 12, 1877
Child 2. Annie born 1878 deceased by 1884
Child 3. Joseph born 1880 deceased 1880
Child 4. Lula born Dec 1884.

Mary J Gahagan Married John Strode Jan 1, 1893 IT Marrieage Book C page 62.
She was 16 yrs of age

Lula married Frank Conmont(sp?) on July 10,1898 I am assuming by the date it
would of been Alderson as this is where here mother was living at this time.

George Gahagan(my gg-grandfather) was killed in a logging accident a tree he
was cutting fell on him so I have been told; between 1885 to 1890-91
I was told shortly after Lula's birth but ones idea of short time differs
from one person to another so I put the dates down you read you will
understand as to why I chose those dates.

Mrs Gahagan/ Sonora (Nora) remarried after a courtship length is unknown
to James E Poole. But will tell you James E Poole is half brothers to John
Strode who married Mary J. Gahagan my g grandparents.

They the Poole's had children as well starting in April 24, 1892 Krebbs Ok.
(this is the year before Mary J. married-plus you can now see why I
referenced the dates to 1890-91 from 1885)

and one of the 4-5 children they had was born in Alderson on July 16, 1898.
(This is the month and year Lula married)

I cannot locate anything on my gg grandfather no obits no parents only a
guess he is part of the PA Gahagan's clan.
I dont' known where he is buried. So I am reaching out to others to help me
if they can.
So please can you help me out here.
I want to thank you for your time.

Sincerely
Pamela Brownfield
