I am a descendent of Sarah "Sally" Santee, mother of William Preston Teeter.As far as I know Sarah never came to OK but her son did and his daughter, my great grandmother was born in Vinita, OK on Feb 23, 1869.They came from Iowa. Her mother died Feb 26, 1875 in Kansas and her father died Apr 6, 1876 in Indian Territory, probably Vinita.Arvada Maria was taken from OK and raised by her sister and brother-in-law, Mary Adeline Teeter and Linsey Houston McDorman.I have been unable to locate this family on the Indian rolls and the librarian here looked askance and told me Teeter is a German name.Duh!!
Does this connect in any way to your Santees?William Preston had to have a reason to leave his family and come to OK. Surely there were other relatives in the move.It has been my experience in tracking my family that they moved in droves not in single families.
ThanksDawn
