An announcement of her death appeared on a St Charles School alumni Facebook
page on 3 January 2016.

"Many of you had this little lady in the first grade.  And I'm sure some of
you got a paddling, with that little wood paddle and that Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette.  I did.  A lady you will never forget.  She had been in the
nursing home here for several years.  Sad to say she passed away. Keep her
daughter and son in your prayer. God Bless You All !!"

Her obituary reports she died on 1 January.  Her famly situation is confusing,
with the names given here reporting her father as Ruben Bennett, and her
mother as Ella Thompson, but Reva's surname as Thompson.  Also, Reva's
daughter's married name is also Bennett, according to the obituary.

Note Robert Lee's birth date is reported here as June 1892.  several other
records report the date as 27 June 1894.  On his military records, beginning
with WWI registration, the date is 27 June 1894.  On the application for his
military headstone, the date first typed in was June 27 1893, then this was
corrected in the confirmation review to 27 June 1894, which is also the date
on his grave.

Wife and 2 children

Registered Hopping, McClain, Oklahoma 5 June 1917

The birth date of 27 June 1894 given here conflicts with other sources.  Note
that the 1900 census reports his birth date as June 1892.  The Dawes records
say Robert was 9 years old in September 1902, meaning he was born in 1892 or
1893 as the Dawes card estimates.  If he was born in 1894, he would have been
not yet 8 years old at the Dawes registration.  The age in the 1910 census
matches more closely with birth in 1894.  1930 fits a 1893 date.  Some
genealogies split the difference reporting the year as 1893.

Several genealogies reports a child who was born and died between the
censuses.  No source information is given, but several of these have such
careful detail, it shows they are reporting form firm family sources.

William Woodrow Thompson
Birth 12 Mar 1913 in Rosedale, McClain, Oklahoma
Death 26 Aug 1916
Parents Robert L Thompson 1894 - 1954, Norah Bessie Lee 1895 - 1954
--  Brevard/Harris, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/6687227/person/587741200

The 1920 and later censuses report all Robert's hosuehold as White, even
though Robert was a Chickasaw by blood (and earlier registerd as a Choctaw by
blood).,  His mother Minnie was 1/8 Choctaw and 1/8 Chickasaw.  All previous
Indian tribal registratoins report Robert as Indian, and the 19100 and 1910
censuses do also.

After the 1920 census, Robert moved to Guthrie in Logan County, Oklahoma.   
Another child is reported by some genealogies, who was born in Guthrie but
lived only a short time between these censuses.  It is interesting that they
named this child Charles also, although Charles, reported as 3 years old in
the 1920 census and 11 in 1930, lived to adulthood.

Notes for William THOMPSON


There are not many sources for data on William and his wife Martha.  A couple
of genealogies report some information that appears to come form family
sources, but no documentation is provided.

William Thompson
Birth 1652 in Rapidan, Orange, Virginia
Death 1701 in Blackwell Neck, Hanover, Virginia
Married Martha Elizabeth Buttall
Birth 1627 in Wrexham, Denbighshire, Wales
Death 1670 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
--  Fisher Family, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/5641182/person/-1417797027

Note that William is about 25 years older that Martha.  There is confusion on
the husbands of Martha Buttall, and overlapping dates in the various sources,
indicating that two or more individuals are confused in the reports.  One fact
supporting this is that Thomas Wynne, rep[roted to have married Martha
Buttall, immigrated to Philadelphia form Wales, and Philadelphia is reported
as the place of death of Martha Buttall who married William Thompson. But
William Thompson and his wife Martha are associated with Virginia, not
Philadelphia.  There may have been two women of the same name, one in Virginia
and the other in Philadelphia, or the maiden name has been imposed.  some
sources for William Thompson's wife have only her first name of Martha.

Oklahoma, and a part of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area.  Okarche is
located on land that, before 1830, was within the historic area of the Wichita
people. ... Okarche is located on the boundary of Kingfisher and Canadian

"Canadian County was formed in 1889 as an original county from former Indian
land. It was named after the Canadian River, which runs through the county. It
was settled by white settlers during the Oklahoma Land Run of April 22, 1889.
Here was also where the last great battle between the Cheyenne, Arapaho and
the US Army took place."
