• Notes

  Andrew, Mary and their two children, ages 2 and 1, along with Andrew's brother, "Gib" traveled by wagon to Wybark, Indian Territory in 1900. They moved to Eufaula, OK in 1901. Andrew decided to move back to Missouri, and the family boarded a train for the journery. They located on a farm near Shell Knob. This took place after the birth of their 3rd child. The pull of the "New Land" was great, and Andrew again decided to go to OK. It was in 1906 and his brother "Zen" who had just married Mary Ellen Ray, accompanied them. The next move was in 1907 when Andrew settled in Devil's Canyon, just south of Binger, Oklahoma. The terrain was such that a dug-out seemed feasible, and they dug a room into the side of a bluff and faced it with a wooden wall. This was their home for the time being.
