Our last stop on Wednesday was the County Records Office. Donna Jamison, the records clerk, helped us find my grandfather's 3 different land allotments on a map. Two were in Sallisaw and the other one was in Vian, about 11 miles away. She told us that it was strange that he had not received one piece of property that was intact. The photos above are of what was one of his properties in Sallisaw. Each minor received 40 acres and Alfred was around 12 when the allotments took place. Alfred's properties ended up being sold.
