Re: DORA HAMPTON TROTTER   1210

Query posted by Trotter4Bears on July 22, 2010 for TROTTER

I am a Trotter and my family is also from the Vinita /White Oak area. I too have DOB=Cherokee but not from the Trotter line. My grandmother Minnie Harlan was the Cherokee and she married Wm Andrew Jackson Trotter. I don't know how your Guy Trotter fits into my Trotter family but if we search back far enough I bet there is a common thread.

I am looking for someone to look for an article in the July 22, 1910 "Indian Weekly Chieftain" newspaper of Vinita, Oklahoma: The death of Mrs. Allie Fewell, Cousin of J M Trolinger. The Craig County Geneological Society at Vinita is supposed to have the paper on microfilm. I will gladly pay for a copy of this article.

Don't know if you're still researching this-

Margaret Lawrence is my great grandmother. She was born in Vinita 15 Feb 1880. Her parents were Wellington Rogers and Mary Scrimsher Rogers. Margaret married John B. Lawrence in April 1903. She died 30 Jan 1974 in Lubbock, Texas.

Hope this helps.
