    Adair County - 1920 Census
    Along the Chisholm Trail - In the latter half of the 19th Century, cattlemen rounded up
             longhorns by the millions in Texas, cropped their ears, branded their hides, and
             drove them north across the Indian Nations into Kansas. Somewhere along the way,
             without intending to do more than work for a hard day's pay and board, they
             launched the legend of the American cowboy.

    Choctaw County - An OKGenWeb site. Choctaw County did not exist prior to Oklahoma statehood in 1907 thus there will be no census data for an area called "Choctaw County" prior to 1910. As neither Choctaw County nor the state of Oklahoma existed before 1907 there will be no county or state records before that date. For 1900 census information, look at the Indian Territory census for the Choctaw Nation.
