Welcome to Bryan County,
Oklahoma Genealogy
Trails
A Part of the
Volunteers Dedicated to Free
Genealogy
Our goal is to help
you track
your ancestors through time by
transcribing genealogical
and
historical data and placing it online for the free use of
all researchers.
This is
a
continuation of our
original Illinois
Trails History and
Genealogy
Project and we are
excited
about this
opportunity to
expand into other
states.
Named for Democratic presidential candidate
William Jennings
Bryan, a contributor to the 1907 Oklahoma
Constitution,
Bryan County is located
in the
south-central portion of
the state.
Bordering on the east
is Choctaw
County, on the
north are
Atoka and Johnston
counties, on the west is Marshall
County, and on the
south is the Red River and Texas.
Bryan
is separated from
Marshall County by
the
Roosevelt
Bridge
and Lake Texoma.
Covering a total
land
and water area
of
943.43 square
miles, Bryan County
lies in the Coastal Plains
physiographic region,
within
the Red River watershed, with
major drainage
provided by the Blue
River. The
Washita
River, formerly flowing
north-south
between Bryan and
Marshall counties,
is now
impounded in Lake Texoma. The county
is served by
U.S. Highways 69/75
north-south and
70
east-west. At the
beginning
of the twenty-first
century
twelve incorporated towns existed in the county:
Armstrong, Bennington, Bokchito, Caddo, Calera,
Colbert,
Durant (County Seat),
Hendrix, Kemp, Kenefic, Mead, and
Silo.
