"Hi Jai...would love to see what you have! My Lindseys traveled around OK quite a bit...we could quite possibly share ancestors!   Thanks,   Jennifer   jennleighlind@aim.com"

"Hi Jennifer, I'm pretty sure I'm related to your Lindseys.  My great grandfather was Fountain Monroe Lindsey, b. 1893, Garvin Co., OK.  His father was Elija Millard Lindsey, b.1857 Montevallo, Shelby Co.,…"

"Thanks everyone...makes much more sense!"

"The hairstyles are more like 1907-1914 hair styles. prior to that women's hair was mostly swept back straight rather than parted."

"This looks to me, style of clothing-wise, to be around 1900-1910ish. The women's skirts are shorter than before the turn of the century, and the men's collars look more like early 1900's to me."

"A few more quick notes... I contacted the three families listing Ralph L. Bacon in their family trees...here's hoping for a response! I searched for other Bacons in the St. Mary's register, and the only other baptism listed is for a…"

"Hi Gene, I cannot find Civil War pension OR service records for Ralph Bacon. I'm attaching below the only document I've found. It lists him as a painter, as do the 1870 and 1880 Census. Also an 1880 Census for his parents, Charles and…"

"Hi Gene, I was confusing my notes...yes, Mary McFarland is the wife of Ralph L. in the christening record, not Alice Ophelia. As to Ralph being married more then once...that would make sense, given the information we have. His obit does not use…"

"Updating to add obituary for Ralph L. Bacon. Sadly, it merely says he leaves behind three children, and does NOT list their names..."

"WOW...thanks, Gene! Let me try to answer everything: Yes, I have John Bacon's homestead file. It did not reveal any biographical details, but a wonderful woman in Roger Mills Co, OK actually found the location for me. There is nothing left…"

"Hi Gene, Just realized I misspoke (mistyped?) in my original post. The uncle Ralph Bacon lists in his WWI app is GEORGE Bacon, not Ralph Bacon. And as for the Baptismal record, listing John Fernando Bacon and his father, Ralph, it would seem to…"

"Hi, Gene...sorry for my extended absence, just now getting back to my research. I will post a seperate thread on John Lindsey's children, but here is the information you requested re: witness statements. (Most documents spell his name…"

"Hi Gene! John Lindsey contracted smallpox during his Civil War service. Apaprently, after the war, he was never really able to work again due to the lingering effects. His widow and other witnesses say that he became ill at Memphis en route to…"

"I love that site! My ggrandfather, Zack, worked the ranch as well. It makes sense that John Bacon was a jockey...just wish my "cousin" who has the photo would email me back!!!"

"Hi Jennifer, I also found a website for Morris Ranch which included some photos: http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~gulino/ghosttown/morris_ranch_tx.htm"
