11	Memories by Jennie Stoughton Osborn, Copyright 1935, Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Pg. 2 "My mother was living on her farm near Matildaville, Pennsylvania when she met my father, Barnard VanZant Stoughton, who was working at his trade, the shoe business, in Kalensburg, Armstrong, Co., Pa. When I was about a year old they moved out to my mother's farm and there my two younger sisters were born. They then gathered the rest of the children into the home where those mischievous boys kept things stirring." Pg. 3 "My mother, Susan Myer, had been the wife of John Hagan who died when they had been married twelve years, leaving her with one little boy, John Edward Hagan. Father had married Susan Harvey, but she died leaving six children: John, Joseph, Elliott, Hannah, Catharine, and Susan Blanche, the baby whom the mother gave to her sister, a Mrs. Dustin, who took her to Illinois... When we left mother's farm, we moved to Clarion County on a farm owned by one of mother's brothers and lived there one year; but father could not farm and do much at his trade too. So we moved into a little burg named Bellville. It was a crossroad town of a few houses, ...Sligo Furnace was (2 miles) south, Madison Furnace five miles west, Polk Furnace four miles north, and Curlville three miles East." Pg. The 4 Children walked 1 1/2 miles to school. The family was in Bellville in 1858 and during the 3 years that Jennie was seven-ten yrs of age. Pg. 6 re. Bellville "the three little girls of us had happy times living among our mother's people ...We liked best to go to our uncle Sam and aunt Betsy Morgan's house because they had no children...My mother had seven brothers: Billy, Val, John, Jake, Sam, Joe and Jim..(she) had only two sisters: Polly Johnson and Betsy Morgan. Father's brothers were Billy, Andrew, John, Luke, Jake and Barny. Barney was our father. He had three sisters: Mrs. Effie Logan, Mrs. Hannah Patterson and Mrs. Jane Boyle. Most of father's people lived in Butler Co. Pa., and most of mother's in Clarion Co. Pa.	See full text

Samuel Bevins He and his two youngest sons went to Kansas and secured land in McPherson County 1883 - 1893 He lived with his family in Barber County, Kansas, on a farm 14 miles west of Medicine Lodge. 1900 Census, Galena Township, Woods County, Oklahoma A. McCray, Age: 53, Birthplace of Mother: Virginia, Occupation: Farmer 1910 Census, Galena Township, Woods County, Oklahoma Archibald McCray, Age: 62, Birthplace of Mother: Ohio??, Occupation: Farmer Henry Pomeroy (?) listed as employee, Age: 17 1920 Census, North Galena Township, Woods County, Oklahoma Archibald McCray, Age: 72, Birthplace of Mother: Ohio??, Occupation: Farmer   When Cherokee, Oklahoma was opened for settlement, Archibald and his three oldest sons filed on land at that time or later taking small adjoining tracts that had not been filed on earlier. This new territory was called the Cherokee strip. (After Archibald homesteaded in Woods County, his brother Calvin came down from Missouri/Iowa. I understand that Archibald and Calvin did not get along). Archibald McCray and his family remained on this plot of land, 10 miles south of Alva, in Woods County until the death of his family. It was deeded at an earlier date to his youngest son, Calvin Clermont McCray.   Information for the foregoing genealogy obtained from: Compendium of American Genealogy, from School Records, Marriage Records, Pike County Probate Court Records, Land Deeds from recorder of Deeds in Pike County Probate Court records, Land Deeds in Pike, and Jackson Counties, Ohio, and 1850 Census from census records from General Census Bureau at Columbus, Ohio. Mrs Bernico Hammond, Piketon, Ohio, licensed genealogical researcher, searched for the records for Samuel and Jane McCray and descendants through Archibald's children.   A family story was told about Archibald McCray and his oldest son, when they ran for land in the Cherokee Strip. It seems that they had already scouted the area and knew where they wanted to homestead. The son rode a big Hambletonien Trotting horse ( today known as the Standardbred breed ), when he reached his plot he jumped off his horse to place his stake. The horse dropped his head and started to graze, in no way was he winded. All around them men had ridden their horses to death! Archibald, in his later years, moved into town and lived with his daughter Louella. He had never had indoor plumbing, and could not go to the bathroom. He didn't understand how the toilet worked and hated the shower. He begged to use the back yard after dark, but of course Louella could not allow that. Toward the end of his life he would run away and the family would have to search for him. *** Story provided by Kenny & Gredel McCray
