I recently contacted Leroy Woodruff of Tulsa, Okla., and he informed me that Myrtle Stewart Woodruff was his grandmother, that she was born at Texarkana, Ark., a dau. of Jeremiah Stewart and China L. Duckett. China L. Duckett was a dau. of Alfred Hamilton Duckett and Malinda Brock. It would appear that Jeremiah Stewart and wife China moved from Sebastian Co., Ark. to Garland Co., Ark., a little prior to the 1880 Garland Co. census, then by 1891 they removed to Miller Co., Ark., then after 1900 they moved to Logan Co., Ark., then before 1910 they removed to Mayes Co., Okla. China died prior to the 1910 census, and is buried at the Newhome Cemetery, near Peggs, Okla. China died in childbirth and the baby is buried with her. after the death of China, Jeremiah moved to Ariz. with all the children save Robert and Myrtle. Myrtle Stewart married Ernest Woodruff in 1909, Mayes Co., Okla. Children of Jeremiah Stewart and China L. Duckett were: Robert, who remained in Mayes Co., Okla.; Rallis, who lived at Tucson, Ariz.; Clyde, who lived in Calif, and was a Major League ball player; Canary, who resided Calif.; Dixie, who also resided in Calif. Additional information provided by Opal Stewart, grand dau. of Robert, says that her father was born around Talequah, Okla., which would indicate that Robert lived around there before residing in Mayes Co., Okla. 1910 McClain Co., OK, soundex 039-0186-0040 20 Apr Fred W.

Head of house is Lester Duckett, see in Gresham Duckett's family history under Ga. Nancy is Nancy (Cash) Duckett, widow of Library Duckett. See census of Wichita Falls, Tex. Mrs. Lester Lane states that Library died in 1918, Wichita Falls, Tex., however she gives the exact date and place of death for Nancy (Cash) Duckett. She also states that Lozie married and resided in Okla. Mrs. Lester Lane also states that Nancy (Cash) Duckett died at Epworth Hospital, Liberal, Kan., 20 June 1926. Liberal, Kansas is but a short distance from Tyrone, Okla., and Epworth perhaps the nearest hospital to Tyrone in 1926. Mrs. Lane also wrote that Edwin Duckett was born in Polk Co., Ark., but lived in Okla. and was single, and that Edwins mother, Martha (Weaver) Duckett, died 26 Oct 1875, Polk Co., Ark. OK-5 Edwin is surely the Ervin Duckett shown in the foregoing census reports of Texas Co., Okla. Mrs. Lester Lane also states that Mattie, dau. of Elijah Duckett and Sarah Caudell, was born 9 April, 1875, Polk Co., Ark. See Banks Co., Ga. With this data I think we can state with some degree of authority that Allen Turner Duckett removed from Sebastian Co., Ark. soon after his marriage to Sarah E. Bell in 1870, returning to Ga., and there a son Selma was born in 1872. While in Ga. he visited with Dolphus Duckett and his sons, who at that time were in Banks Co., Ga. Due to this visit or visits, Library and Elijah Duckett, sons of Dolphus Duckett and Sarah Ferguson, returned with Allen Turner Duckett when he removed from Ga. to Polk Co., Ark., this move transpiring prior to 1875. 1920 Texas Co., OK ED 194 Sh 6 John G.

Two other known children of Harriet were Mary and Henry, both died young, Henry of scarlet fever.) Declaration For Additional Invalid Pension: Indian Territory, Choctaw Nation. On 5 Aug 1895, personally appeared before me, a Notary Public, within and for the county and state aforesaid, Wilson Dammon, age 51 years, a resident of near Poteau, county of Choctaw Nation, state of Indian Territory, who being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is a pensioner of the United States under the act of Congress approved 27 July 1890, and duly enrolled in the Topeka, Kansas Pension Agency, at the rate of 6 dollars per month, having served in the Military Service of the United States, as Pvt., Co. I, 2nd Regt., Ark. Cav. Vols., that his present physical condition is such that he believes he is entitled to receive an increased rate for his pensioned disabilities, all are which are permanent in character, and are not due to vicious habits. Etc. (Apparently Wilson did not receive additional payment for his injuries as at his death his pension was still 6 dollars per month. In his original pension for injuries, it states that he suffered a broken arm and broken ankle, both as results of his military service, and that he was unable to perform manual labor as a result of these injuries. Henry Wilson Damron also served in the Confederate Army, apparently conscripted. Application For Accrued Pension: On 24 March 1902, Indian Territory, Central Dist., Lucinda Dammon, widow of Wilson Dammon, applied for a widows pension and accrued amount of Wilson's pension, last paid on the 4th of Nov. 1901.
