Welcome to Garvin County, Oklahoma
 |
Hi my name is Linda and I am the new county
coordinator
for
Garvin County. I
personally have
done alot
of
research in
this
county
as my
mother was born
and
raised in
Stratford,
95
years ago.
My
grandparents
and
three of
their
children are buried in
McGee
Cemetery. My
uncles for
the
most part
were
married
and began
their
families in
Garvin
County. I
will start
inputing my
families
information
from
this county,
and hopefully others
as
well. As
I
find the time I
will
begin
placing
other data
and links to
help
all my
fellow
genealogists
find
information
easier. I
live in
Oklahoma
City
so
I
cannot go to
the
county to do
research
but I
will try
to
provide
information as to
where you
can
search
easier.
Please email me
with
any
information
(along
with the
original
source
info). this
can
include
marriage
records,
cemetery
info,
death records,
military
records,
pictures
of
old
business,
biographries and
such. Just please
do not send me
copies of family
files as
I do not
have the time to
go thru and
seperate
older
information
from
current. I
will
also be
posting
pictures my
mother
has
of unknown
people who lived in the
Stratford
area in
the
1920's
time
frame.
If
you have names
for
them
please let me
know.
Thanks
for
your help in
advance. Email me at

I am dedicating this site to my grandparents whom I never
knew,
Cleason
Jones and Nancy Annie
(Shott)
Jones.
Cleason and
Nancy
Annie
were
born in
Yell
County,
Arkansas.
After the birth
of
their
oldest
4
children they made
their way to the
Indian
Nations.
Cleason
came first
and found a place
for them to live then
his family
followed.
We find them in the
Choctaw Nation in
1900
then
near
McGee,
Garvin,
Oklahoma
in
1910.
Cleason died in
1916 in
Kusa,
Oklahoma at the
age of only 48 years old
and
was brought
back and
buried in
the McGee
Cemetery. He
was buried
close to
their
oldest
child
Willie
Jones, and twin
daughters
Lovie
and
Dovie.
His
wife
Nancy
Annie
was buried beside
him after her
death in
Oklahoma
City.
They
had
ten children
together, six of
which
reached
adulthood.
Their children
were: Willie
Ethel Jones,
Herbert
Lester
Jones,
Audie
Mae Jones,
Monroe
Marcilious
Jones, Lovie and
Dovie Jones,
Virgil
Lee
Jones,
Willard Eggbert
Jones, and Vernie
Lorneia
Jones Dyer
Zenor
(my
mother). Three
of
their
children: Willie, and twins
Lovie and
Dovie
are
also
buried
beside them
at
McGee Cemetery.
Herbert, Monroe and
my mother
at
Resthaven Cemetery
in Oklahoma
City.
Willard
is buried in Pine
Bluff,
Arkansas.
Virgil Lee
is
buried in
Scottsdale,
Arizona and
Hugh
is buried
in
California. |
| I am also dedicating this site to my mother, Vernie
Lorenia (Jones)
Dyer Zenor who was
born
August 22,
1913 in
Stratford,
Garvin
County,
Oklahoma.
After the
death of
her father in 1916
her mother
moved
her
small
children that
remained at home between
1920
and 1930 to
Oklahoma
City. I have
been told by
an older cousin that
she did so
because
she and her
children
were
considered
outcasts as
they
were of
Indian
heritage.
She
married Virgil
Wallace Dyer on
January
1, 1932 in
Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. He
was the son of Dock
David Dyer and Edna
Blanche
(Helm)
Littleton Dyer. My father
Virgil
died in
Oklahoma
City,
Oklahoma
on March
8, 1982 and is buried
at
Resthaven
Cemetery.
My
mother was the
youngest
of the
ten children born to
Cleason
Jones and
Nancy
Annie
(Shott)
Jones. Four
of her
sibilings died
before her
birth
(Willie,
Audie,
and twins Lovie and
Dovie).
Her
other siblings
met
their
future
wifes
in
the
Garvin County
area, but all
eventually moved
from there.
The
only child of
Vernie and
Virgil
was
myself,
Linda
Sue
Dyer
born July 17,
1951
in Oklahoma
City,Oklahoma. |
