Here is the location of Greer County, Oklahoma, where the Tyford and Mollie family lived in 1910. This may solve a mystery for me. I have wondered what made my ancestors leave the Southeast corner of the state, up near Arkansas, to migrate down into Stephens County. Perhaps Tyfords family was already there and wrote to them to come for land or work or opportunity. I find my grandparents, Caroll and Vernie living nearby in Jay, Jackson County in 1910 census. My Grandpa was only nine years old in 1910. Later they must have gone back to LaFlore County because that is where my Granparents married.
