• Notes

  The information I have on James S Riley came from sites.rootsweb.com/~oknowata/riley1.htm 1/8 Cherokee Indian All Children were born in Nowata Co., Oklahoma. All 1/16 Cherokee Indian. Beatrus died when only 7 mos. old. James S. and Jennie Mae Riley lived on his allotment north east Nowata except for a short time they lived in Nowata, Oklahoma. He worked his team in the oil field. When the Indians got their land allotments, James S. Riley, his 5 oldest children, and some of James S. cousins took their allotments north-east of Nowata, Oklahoma, on the Verdigris River where there is a big bend in the river. The Three acres already set aside for the Riley Cemetery just happened to be in part of James S. Rileys allotment. This area later became known as the RILEY BEND COMMUNITY. The children all went to school in Nowata Co.. They went to the Franklin School, a country school close to their home. When the country school was consolidated into the Nowata School they rode the school bus into Nowata School. Raymond was in World War One. Thomas M. was called, he got as far as Muskogee, Oklahoma when the war was over. The children all got married and left home except John the youngest son. John was in the army for a while in 1942 and 1943. He was at camp Roberts, California and Camp Carson, Colorado. James S. and Jennie Mae lived the rest of their lives on his Indian allotment. They are buried in the Riley Cemetery north east of Nowata, Oklahoma in Nowata County, Oklahoma.
