1. Ada is in Pontotoc County. You either didn't know that or didn't know how important it was to genealogical research to mention a county. 1930: Maxwell, Pontotoc, Oklahoma; Roll 1927; Page: 5A; Enumeration District: 25; Image: 538.0. Matteo F Roberts 59 Tex Lizzie P Roberts 56 Ark Charley W Roberts 17 All three are listed as white. 1920: Maxwell, Pontotoc, Oklahoma; Roll T625_1479; Page: 9A; Enumeration District: 183; Image: 1123. Martin F Roberts 50 Tex Lizzie Roberts 48 Ark Ollie Roberts 13 Frank Roberts 10 White again 1910: Maxwell, Pontotoc, Oklahoma; Roll T624_1270; Page: 10A; Enumeration District: 258; Image: 963. Martin F Roberts 40 Elizabeth P Roberts 37 Jessie L Roberts 18 Andrew J Roberts 15 Gertie E Roberts 7 Allie P Roberts 5 Frank B Roberts 1 White again 1900: Woodville, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory; Roll T623_1847; Enumeration District: 130. Martin Roberts 29 Texas Lizzie Roberts 27 Ark Jessie L Roberts 9 Andrew J Roberts 6 Eveyone white. They moved around. Here they are again. It happens some times. 1900: Township 7, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory; Roll T623_1848; Enumeration District: 150. Martin L Roberts 26 Lizzie Roberts 19 Both White. So - either 1) They lived in the Chickasaw Nation, early on, which became "Were Chickasaw" in the family legend; 2) One or the other had some Indian blood and lied about it on the census; 3) None of the above.
