I was uncertain about the spelling, remembering this older cousin from my early childhood, but never having seen the name written down. I thought of the name as O'Neil. I found the officially recorded spelling in the Social Security Death Index was O'Neal. However, the name is spelled in other records and family references as O'Neil. His father's name appears as Neill or Neil. On a photo at age 14 months, the name appeared to be spelied Oneal, with no apostrophe, but hte A was malformed and was dotted like an I. 1920 Federal Census, Wichita County, Texas, 13 January, Burkburnett Town, District 197, page 8B, Hse #157, Fam #203 Yates, Neil Head M W 23 OK TX TX Driller, Oilfield Yates, Mary M Wife F W 22 OK TX TX Yates, O'Neil O C Son M W 2 OK OK OK 1930 Federal Census, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 4 April, North Cobb Township.

In June 2014 I found a 1935 City Directory in Oklahoma City with the family spelling I remembered. Right after that I found an entry in the Chickasha Directory with the name spelled O'Neal.

I then found the marriage record in Arkansas. Clarence Yates married Dora Hazelwood in Hot Spring County, Arkansas. I have not found information on Dora and O'Neil's marriage. He was married a second time, but I do have any information on when. He has a different wife reported on his gravestone, but he died 9 years before Dora. In 1939, O'Neil is listed again in the Oklahoma City direcotry with the same type of job at another grocer. Note that no wife is reported here. This seemed a possible indication of when he and Dora divorced. His parents Neil and Mary are also listed in this directory.

The 1920 census says that Mary Ann was born in Texas, but the 1930 census says it was Oklahoma. In 1920 the Yates were living near Wichita Falls, Texas, in Burkburnett, a community on the Red River named after famous rancher Burk Burnett, who was a close friend of Quanah Parker. 1920 Federal Census, Wichita County, Texas, 13 January, Burkburnett Town, District 197, page 8B, Hse #157, Fam #203 Yates, Neil Head M W 23 OK TX TX Driller, Oilfield Yates, Mary M Wife F W 22 OK TX TX Mary A Yates Dau F W 9 months TX OK OK (yields birth in March 1919) In the 1930 census Mary Ann's middle name is spelled Anne.

Birth of Neil Yates is thought to have been in Mountain View. It is known that his parents were living in Mt. View in early years. In 1900 he is reported as 4 years old, even though his birthday was Oct 1896, and thus he has not yet had his 4th birthday. At the time of Neil's birth, Mountain View had not been established. The place was called Oakdale, and was a tent city in the former Arapaho and Cheyenne Reservation, now part of Oklahoma Territory, across the river and about two miles north of the current city of Mountain View. "The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island) extended a line from Chickasha to the northern part of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Reservation in 1899. It terminated about two miles from an existing tent city called Oakdale, consisting of a store and post office on the former Cheyenne and Arapaho Reservation. ... Some Oakdale residents obtained land for a new townsite. Platted in May 1899 by the El Reno Development Company, the nearby settlement, with the Wichita Mountains looming on the south and west, was called Mountain View. The Oakdale post office was renamed Mountain View on October 9, 1900." -- "Mountain View," Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/M/MO028.html My father, Orville Lee Jenkins, was born in Mountain View, and told me stories about growing up with the Indians in the area, and playing and hunting with them. -- Orville Boyd Jenkins Consistent with the above encyclopedia description, we see the reported residence of Neil's parents in the 1900 Oklahoma Territory is Union township of Washita County.

The last two names are hard to read, due to write-overs, and the wide-nib pen used by the enumerator. The last child is enumerated as Cleve, but Ancestry transcribes the name as Clen. Ancestry transcribes the child before Glen as Betty, with Beatrice as an alternative. I think her real name might have been Betty Jo, as she is listed in the 1940 census. I find this name on all family references and photos.

This would confirm Betty (Jo) as the sister of O'Neil (also spelled as Oneil or Oneal and variously in family sources). The 1940 census listing also confirms this relationship, with Betty Jo still in the household as a daughter, and Oneill as a son, with his wife Dora and children. In 1940, they were reported living in Oklahoma City. but that census says that in 1935 they were living in Gray (spelled Grey in the census) County, Texas. This is where Betty Jo was born. Among Jennie Jenkins' photos I found a baby portrait made by a Pampa, Texas, studio, with no name or date, that appears to be Betty Jo at less than one year old. (Jennie was Mary Nettie Yates' stepmother.) From the records available, they were not in Texas very long.

William Henry Vail Yates and Annie Laura Horn married about 1890. They first lived in Texas, then moved to Oklahoma Territory between 1891 and 1894. In the 1900 census we find them in Union Township of Washita County, Oklahoma Territory. This is in the southern aprt of what had been the Cheyenne and Arabpaho Reservation before the establishment of Oklahoma Territory in 1890, a little north of the Washita River. "The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island) extended a line from Chickasha to the northern part of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Reservation in 1899.

But the first letter of the name in 1900 looks very much like a b, and the second letter perhaps a or e. They probbaly moved south of the river to Mountain View, the renamed Oakdale that was moved about 2 miles south of old Oakdale in 1899, after 1907, when their first child Henry died and was buried in the old Oakdale Cemetery. In 1910 they are in Mountain View, the relocated and renamed Oakdale. The 1900 census tells us that William and Annie moved from Texas to Oklahoma Territory between April 1891 and December 1893.

The birthplace differs in different sources. His son Neil Yates declares his birthplace as Freestone County, Texas. Three genealogies report that William was born in Chireno, Texas, which is in Nacogdoches County. Others report Nacogdoches County, with no town. I would tend to favor the place of birth reported by his son. Details provided by the other sources also, however, lend them credibility. Early genealogies with reporting Chireno or Nacogdoches County do not report the source of the information that Chireno was the place of birth. I found two in January 2008 that gave various sources, both family and public records. It seems likely to me that Neil remembered wrongly, thinking of his knowledge that the family had lived in Freestone County, and associated that also with his father's birth. William and his son Benjamin Vail moved out to California where the men got jobs working in the oil fields in the 1920s.
