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
