Pam Stanlick,

Since you grew up in Oklahoma, you may remember that all plots of land are defined as "numbered townships and ranges". Same with the 1900 census. Yes, in the 1900 Indian Territory census, each page was labeled, for example: "Chickasaw Nation, 3N 1E" which defines a "township", i.e. 36 square miles.

The above webpages are specific for the general Southern Indian Territory survey definition shown on:

And by the way, "Chickasaw Nation 3N 1E" had the following plot of land that was surveyed in 1871.

3N 1E sec 4, George Washington’s [Home, one of his homes], 1871 survey, NW 1/4, Confederate Major George Washington, d-1883, is represented in the Confederate Civil War records as: "Major George Washington, Hereditary Chief of the Whitebead Band of the Caddo Hasinai Tribe," the "last military officer to surrender, doing so immediately after Gov. Winchester Colbert at Tishomingo on July 16, 1865." ..Washington had a large farm, with Washington Creek flowing though it, across the Washita River from Whitebead. ..George Washington was famous for his mule-toed hogs. ..Washington was already located on this property for years [maybe since 1839] before the Jul 1, 1859 Arbuckle Treaty that mandated that the Hasinai Caddo of the Brazos Reserve of Young County, TX be moved to the now Anadarko OK area. ..Washington's band of Whitebead Caddos were friendly with, and kept in touch with, the Caddos of the Brazos Reserve of Texas.

Patricia, Thank you so much for responding It is very hard to tell you exactly which spelling of the name to look under The 1860 Denton County Census spelled it Terfiter Page #439 We have found a stone in Dye mound with what appears to be another son by his 2nd wife Mary The initials on the stone are M.W. and Tefertiller is spelled correct It says on the stone mother Mary Freeland her stone is right next and has wife of J.D Freeland so she remarried after Marion W (#1) The dates on the son stone are 1863-1895 so it has to be the son I was told there may also be an unmarked grave near these two so we are following up on that I am very new to this genealogy so if I am not giving you the right info for follow up please tell me Russell in the first emails is a direct relative His Dad and my Mom are cousins We have all looked and looked The only other info I have found is Mary on the 1900 census in "Chicksaw" county Indian Territory Having grown up in Okla I know that county is not really the appropriate designation for the dividing of the areas in I.T. but that was what was on top of the census form. Thank you and any info will be greatly appreciated Pam
