The Jones Family
I would like to thank Alice Land for all the photographs and documents she has provided and also to Mildred Clark for all of her helpful information and all the great treasures she kept in a old suitcase. I have uncovered a lot of our Ancestors on this side of the family. Unfortunately there is not a lot on our direct Jones line. We know Ira Jones was born in Tennessee and his fathers name was Howard . Ira had a son named Howard also. Howard was born in Mayfield Kentucky as far as we know. How Ira got to Kentucky I have no clue. We have been in contact with several different families that are related and they have shared information with us. Peggy Mullins has shared a great amount of information on the Cable family. She was a tremendous help , a big Thank You to her. Also thanks to Leila Cornell of Cuprum, Idaho for the photo and information she provided. I collected a lot of information from Ancestry.com The Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma state archives and the St Louis Public Library.

Below is a list of names of those who claimed land in the
Cherokee Strip Land Run of 1893. Please keep in mind that this should only serve as
a reference. It is unknown how complete or accurate this record is. The city and state given are where the people came from. Photos borrowed from the Internet.
It was Sept. 16, 1893, the day of the largest land "run" in
history, the opening of the Cherokee Strip to settlement. 50,000 people had gathered along the boundaries for many days and were ready for the gunshot at noon to start them on their quest for claims, every acre was claimed by nightfall. Land offices for the filing of claims were at Perry, Enid, Alva and Woodward. Seven counties had been designated in the Strip at that time, with letter names K,L,M,N,O,P and Q with county names to be chosen later by the
settlers.
K became KAY
L became Grant
M became Woods
N became Woodward
O became Garfield
P became Noble
Q became Pawnee
At statehood the 7 counties became 10 1/2 counties, as ALFALFA
was created from part of Woods Co., Harper from part of Woodward
Co., and the north half of ELLIS was also from part of Woodward Co.
MAJOR was from the southern part of Woods Co.
