Generation No. 1 

1.  ROBERT JAMES YELL4 HASTINGS  (GEORGE WILLIAM3, WILLIAM C.2, GREEN?1) was born January 1861 in Gentry, Benton Co, AR, and died November 28, 1909 in Paden, Okfuskee Co, OK of pneumonia (Oakdale Cemetery).  He married MELISSA CATHERINE SOUTHERLAND May 8, 1881 in Washington Co, AR, daughter of WILLIAM SOUTHERLAND and RACHEL ELLIS. 

Notes for ROBERT JAMES YELL HASTINGS:

See notes for grandfather William Hastings regarding Robert James Yell Hastings in 1870 census.  Found in the 1880 Washington Co, Prairie Twp, AR census living with his brother-in-law and sister Charles and Delilah Adeline "Ada" (Hastings) Cleveland (family 188) at age 19.  On May 8, 1881 in Fayetteville, AR he married Melissa Catherine Southerland, born April 1862 likely in the NW corner of Ellis Co, TX.  Marriage recorded in Book F, Page 540, Washington Co, AR. 

Found in the 1900 Cherokee Indian Territory Census as Family #194 in Flint Twp, T-11-N, R-23-E, which is just southwest of present Sallisaw, Sequoyah Co, OK.  The family consisted of Robert and "Milissa" with daughters Bertha, Pearly (Ida Pearl), and Beatrice (aka Sessie or Bea) plus sons Oscar and Jesse.  Their oldest daughter Norha Belle married Solomon "Sol" Atkerson on December 30, 1899 and was living in the immediate neighborhood apart from the family. 

Daughter Bertha married Timothy Nimrod Stone in about August 1902.  Son Oscar married Timothy Stone's niece Lillie Margaret Maggie Stone in January 1908.  Between mid-1902 and early 1909 the combined Stone-Hastings clan lived south of Ft. Smith, Arkansas on either side of the present AR-OK state line. They were sharecropping for David N. Nessmith, latter the brother-in-law of Tim-Bertha Stone and Oscar-Maggie Hastings, who had become an intermarried Choctaw in 1897.  After tiring of working for David, by early 1909 the combined Stone-Hastings clan moved to Okemah and Paden in Okfuskee Co, OK.  This was  only weeks before Robert died of pneumonia on November 28, 1909 likely at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Timothy and Bertha Margaret Stone. 

Notes for MELISSA CATHERINE SOUTHERLAND:

Found in the 1910 Okfuskee Co, Creek Twp (Paden), OK census living with her son-in-law and daughter Tim and Bertha (Hastings) Stone (HH 90), and in the 1920 Muskogee Twp, Muskogee Co, OK census (ED 82, Sheet 13, line 99) living with her brother-in-law and sister John H. and Sarah Jane "Sallie" (Southerland) Smith.  Although Melissa Catherine died in March 1922 at Paden, Okfuskee Co, OK and is buried in the Paden Oakdale Cemetery with her husband, no actual grave can be found.  She died several years after removal of one leg to her knee for cancer.

Generation No. 2 

2.  NORHA BELLE5 HASTINGS (ROBERT JAMES YELL4, GEORGE WILLIAM3, WILLIAM C.2, GREEN?1) was born January 24, 1883 in Benton Co, AR, and died February 5, 1937 in Sadie, Sequoyah Co, OK (Sallisaw City Cemetery, Sallisaw, OK).  She married SOLOMON W. "SOL" ATKERSON December 30, 1899 in Sallisaw, Cherokee Nation, son of JEFF ATKERSON and ALICE CAVE. 

Notes for NORHA BELLE HASTINGS:

Note:  from conversations with nephew Virgle Atkerson; Sol and Norha's grandson FRANKLIN D. ATKERSON in CA; granddaughter Joan Stachiw of Rockport, TX; niece Pearl Atkerson Copeland of Sallisaw; and abstract data held by the family who currently resides on Sol and Norha's actual Sadie, OK homeplace..  

Norha and Solomon "Sol" Atkerson married on December 30, 1899.  [They are listed in the 1900 US Census, Cherokee Nation, Flint Twp, T-11-N, R-__-E, as Family #___.   Found 1910 and 1920 Sequoyah Co, OK with sons Jeff and Watie] 

According to an interview by phone on April 22, 1999 of Virgle Atkerson in McAlester, Pittsburg Co, OK (918-423-1743), he knew both Norha and Sol as a young boy.  Virgle is the oldest living child of Sol's younger brother Jefferson David Atkerson.  Sol was well-know as an imbiber of the spirits.  This may have been a factor in when and how many children were born by the marriage.  He also had only one arm due to removal from service during the Spanish-American was of 1898. 

Sol's father was Jeff Atkerson, a country "doctor" who was associated with the Union Army during the Civil War.  Because Jeff was not being paid for his services, he moved to outside of Birmingham, AL.  He then began giving many of his children names associated with the Confederate hierarchy, including Jefferson D. Atkerson.  Because of a TB epidemic that killed his 1st wife and many of his children, he torched the family farm in Alabama to destroy the disease.  He then  moved with three surviving children to near Sallisaw, Cherokee Indian Territory.  There he married Alice Cave, reportedly a 1/2 Cherokee by Blood, and had three known sons and one daughter.  Sol is considered to be the son of his father's 1st wife in AL, Leona Abbott. 

Additional children traditionally associated with Jeff and Alice likely were orphans of Jeff's deceased patients taken in by the couple.  These orphans in turn adopted the Atkerson surname.  In Sadie (Sadie's Bottom at the base of the Wild Horse Mountains), Jeff Atkerson owned a dry goods store.  Sol, who was good with numbers, operated the store for his father on a 24-hour basis.  Because Sol was a constant imbiber and had only one arm, the residents actually ran the store as if it was their own.  This included loading and unloading the supplies when they arrived by boat down the Arkansas River from Fort Gibson, stocking the store and signing the register on an honor system.  Once a year the store's patrons would settle their account. 

After Sol's father died, Sol inherited the store and continued to operate it on the same 24-hour, honor basis.  Norha and Sol purchased a tract of land from two minor Cherokee allottees in 1913 directly across the road from where the store was located.  When Sol died in 1946, his son Jefferson D. "Big Jeff" Atkerson, who actually was a small man, took over operation of the store.  "Big Jeff" by that time was married and a banker in either Sallisaw or Stilwell, OK and began to curtail the store's operation to day-light hours only.  Coupled with better access to alternate shopping in the larger City of Sallisaw and Fort Smith, Arkansas area, this change drove most of the traditional customers to other outlets for supplies.  The foundation of this store still exists just across the road from Sol & Norha's original home. 

Nora died in 1937 from stomach cancer per a letter by niece Lottie Marie Wilkins.  Granddaughter Joan Stachiw indicates it was an overdose of radiation at a Ft. Smith, AR hospital rather than the cancer itself that killed Norha.  She is interred in Blk. 8, Lot 19, Space 1 of the Sallisaw City Cemetery.  Sol died in 1946 and is interred next to Nora in Space 2 of the Sallisaw City Cemetery.

Hope Cemetery, San Diego).  She married TIMOTHY NIMROD STONE Abt. 1902 in near Ft. Smith, AR, son of JOHN STONE and PRUDENCE KNOWLES. 

Notes for BERTHA MARGARET "BIRD" HASTINGS:

It is said that every family researcher faces at least one controversy that requires careful thought and explanation.  Fortunately, the controversy discussed below precedes this researcher's effort to explain the Hastings and Stone family tree.  

Many family trees well outside but intersecting in some manner with the Robert James Yell Hastings and Timothy Nimrod Stone lines have generally excluded Bertha Margaret Hastings' first child, Lennie Mae.  Whether intentional or unintentional, the effect is to disenfranchise what presently amounts to four subsequent generations with well over 100 individuals.   

Further, there is now no question that Bertha Hastings' father was Cherokee by Blood through his mother Mary Ann Thomas.  Although not yet fully confirmed, Bertha's mother Melissa Catherine Southerland may also have been Cherokee by Blood.  And, Tim Stone may also have a Cherokee by Blood lineage.  Thus, because of the unique ancestry that seemingly converges on three sides of this one human being, the exclusion of Lennie Mae Stone from the Ellis-Southerland, Hastings and Stone family trees is problematic.  And, for all other Hastings that descend from Mary Ann Thomas as well.  Consequently, the truth of the matter must be balanced with the immediate family's legitimate right to maintain its privacy. 

In 1979, Grace Stone McGee authored a small privately published book titled "From Trail of Tears to Millionaire".  This was the anecdotal story of how Grace's great grandmother Nancy Ann (Murphey) Stone reportedly survived the Removal of the Cherokee from GA and TN to Indian Territory in 1839.  Grace was the niece of Timothy and Bertha (Hastings) Stone and was Lennie's 1st cousin.  In that she grew up living with or in close proximity to the people involved, and was the devoted caretaker of Tim Stone's mother until her death in 1923, there is a degree of assumed authority not available to others, certainly none that are alive today. 

Her book, in effect, contains the revelation that Bertha Margaret Hastings had Lennie out of wedlock prior to her marriage to Tim Stone.  The actual passage with <clarification> is: "There were some people there by the name of Hastings.  They had a boy named Oscar and Maggie <Stone> started going with him.  They <the Hastings> had a girl named Bertha.  She was a nice looking girl.  She had been married before and had a little girl named Lennie.  Tim started going with her and they soon got married..."  Problem is, Bertha had only one husband in her lifetime - Tim Stone.  And the entire Hastings and Stone family knows that.  Hence, the following are this researcher's observations of the written and historic record including a theory to explain that which is stated and not stated in Grace's book. 

By all accounts, Tim and Bertha married in about August 1902 when Bertha was only 17 years old.  As yet we have not found a record of a marriage license.  At face value, Lennie was at least one year old when they married.  We know that by the age of seven in 1892 Bertha was living at various locations with her family within the Illinois District of the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory.  Timothy Stone and his family were also in the same Illinois District by as early as 1889.  In the June 1900 Federal Census of the Cherokee Nation, Bertha was living as an unmarried person with her parents at Sadie on the southwest back side of the Wild Horse Mountain about six-miles southwest of Sallisaw.  Given the degree of fact we have been able to discern, Lennie most likely was born at Sadie, Illinois District, Cherokee Nation.  If a "doctor" was present, it might very well have been Jeff Atkerson, who became the father-in-law of Bertha's oldest sister Norha in December 1899. 

Lennie's "official" birth date has traditionally been stated as April 6, 1901, as reflected on her death certificate.  However, Prudence Ann Stone's family bible has her birth crudely recorded as being "1896."  Allied family researchers indicate someone other than the immediate Stone family has previously attributed Lennie's birth as having been April 6, 1899.  Unfortunately, the latter sources are unable to provide corroborating evidence from another family bible, birth record, etc.  Consequently, this 5-year range in reported date of birth provides fuel for the controversy.  Thus, the relative date of birth is the first portion of the riddle that must be resolved. 

By matching numerous pictures that contain both Lennie and her youngest sister "Trixie" as well as several 1st cousins at different ages whose respective birth dates are not in question, it is clear that a 1901 birth is implausible.  The photos suggest an age difference of perhaps 3 to 4 years versus 8-15 months required in accepting the year 1901. 

The 1896 date in her grandmother's bible appears to be the least plausible.  In the matched photos Lennie is clearly NOT 6 to 8 years older than her closest aged sister or a first cousin born in late 1901.  What also makes 1896 hard to accept is that it her mother Bertha would have been less than 10-1/2 years old when she became pregnant.  While perhaps physically possible, family structure, protocol and the emotional development level of a girl barely over the age of 10 calls for immediate skepticism. 

By the weight of the evidence the most plausible date is 1899 despite its factual shortcoming.  Bertha would have been just over 13 years of age when she became pregnant in late summer 1898, a more plausible date emotionally and physically.  As previously stated, Bertha was shown as an unmarried girl living with her parents in April-June of 1900.  But, Lennie was not included in the household census.  For over 100 years, the dot on the map called Sadie, OK has been settled by a limited number of very close families.  If she was alive at the time and the enumerator was a complete stranger, Lennie could have been either removed from the home temporarily or explained as someone else's child only there temporarily.  Or, if the enumerator knew the family, clan privacy would prevail.  In either case, the fact that Lennie was not enumerated in her grandparent's household in the 1900 census is not a material failure of these observations. 

Thus, unless and until an actual birth record can be found we have ascribed the most plausible birth date for Lennie Mae Stone to be April 6, 1899.  If someone is going to fool with a date of birth, it generally is only the year and not all three components (day, month and year).  And, this is exactly what Bertha Margaret Hastings Stone did for almost 50 years.  In a 1964 letter from Lottie Marie Wilkins to Bernice Schmidt, two of Lennie's immediate cousins, Lottie states "Aunt Bird <Bertha> had changed the birth dates of those children until it was pitiful.  All of them were wrong."  The irony is that in the early mid-1960s Lennie's children tried in earnest to get the Social Security Administration to accept a birth year earlier than 1901.  Because of the lack of evidence, the Social Security Administration refused to approve benefits based on a birth date earlier than April 1901. 

It is well accepted that Bertha had Lennie out of wedlock, which is not the main controversy.  Who the father is/was is THE controversy.  Yet, it is more an issue of blood lineage for historical purposes than for practical purposes.  Lennie was explicitly "adopted" by Tim Stone as his daughter, raised as a Stone, identified by him as his daughter and never considered to be other than a Stone the entirety of her life.  Notwithstanding, in respectful difference to some of Lennie's living descendants this researcher offers the following observations of the available historical record and a theory. 

An individual by the name of George, who otherwise is not mentioned anywhere in the Hastings or Stone family history, has been asserted as being Lennie's father.  Family history asserts that Tim married Bertha for "honor's sake" of a good friend.  Becuase of his honor, the respective families were "very relieved" when Tim and Bertha married.  The first question should be whose family was relieved?  The Hastings, the Stone or both?  Relief by the Hastings family needs no discussion. 

On the other hand, if we can count on what we know about Tim's personal character throughout his life, he would have married Bertha immediately if he was the father.  Yet, there is only one other direct marriage between Tim and Bertha's respective families; i.e., Bertha's younger brother Oscar to Maggie Stone, Tim's niece.  However, this marriage didn't occur until 1908, or six years after Tim and Bertha.  Thus, at the time that Tim Stone married Bertha why would the Stone family have been relieved?  The assertion that a 30-year old man married a 17-year old girl for the "honor" of an errant best friend seems highly implausible.  The more plausible notion is that he did it for honor of the Stone family itself.  The Stone family had no discernable interest to be "relieved" unless a family member was the father.  Logically, the most likely candidate was Tim's younger brother George, which just by coincidence is the historic first name of Lennie's supposed father.  

In this context is the following observation from Prudence Ann Stone's own bible, copies of which are in the possession of this researcher.  There are two definite handwritings.  One is in ink by one or more writers knowledgeable of correct spelling, formal lettering and old-style capitalization.  The other is crudely formed letters using "phonetically" (misspelled) names and words.  Due to a lack of credible examples, we are not able to deduce whose "educated" hand wrote in Prudence Ann's bible.  We are told that until the early 1900's Prudence Ann could not adequately read or write.  To her credit, at some point in the 1900's she purchased a $0.25 "reader" that taught her the rudiments of the three Rs. 

However, i) despite the marriages of many of her children being mentioned, when and where Tim married Bertha is not, AND ii) despite the fact that many of her children who died before 1910 are mentioned, the date and place of her son George's death is missing.  George reportedly was a sickly child troubled by stomach problems of some nature and unable to work for a wage most of his life.  In the summer of 1899, he would have been 24 years old.  Grace's story confirms this by stating "George never married and always lived with his mother, as he was never very stout."  Grace also leads us to believe George died between 1900 and 1904.  Why would a mother forget to note in her own bible, either directly or with help, the passing of a son she so dutifully cared for over a 25 year period? 

We are implicitly told that at that time the Stone, Hastings and associated families were farmers following the cotton crop.  Regardless of gender and age, all able bodied family worked in the fields.  What was sick and frail George doing?  If constantly sick, who was taking care of him?  We are told that "Bird (Bertha) had a good education."  A 13 year old girl with a "good education" would have been a logical choice to occasionally care for a frail and ill young man once she returned from school.  If that was the case, did Bertha come to develop an emotional attachment to George while exercising this responsibility?  If so, it is highly plausible that Lennie's father was George Stone. 

In other words, has the first name of Lennie's ascribed father (George) been correct all along while the last name has been a red herring.  Is this what Prudence Ann Stone's bible left out?  Is this why Bertha Margaret (Hastings) Stone juggled all of her children's birth dates for more than 50 years? 

Since we are speculating, if the good handwriting in Prudence's bible was by one other than Bertha, Prudence might have had to explain why George's death and Tim and Bertha's marriage were not mentioned.  If Bertha was the writer, no explanation was required.  Thus, the desire not to date a marriage relative to Lennie's birth or having to directly or indirectly reflect who the father was seems rather obvious. 

On balance, it would be grossly inappropriate to eliminate discussion of one piece of evidence that has given some legitimacy to another "George" being Lennie's father. The other George's descendants recently welcomed one of Lennie's nieces to a family reunion with a desire to possibly resolving his relationship to Lennie.  We are told that the comparison of family notes was "inconclusive."  Thus, even though deceased it is unfair to that family to mention a last name. 

The evidence is a business-sized card that has "George" in large type entwined with a small banner and the name Bertha.  The card includes "Love" in the top right hand corner and "Remember?" in the bottom right hand corner.  If this was sent to Bertha as a reminder of things past, why does it still exist?  Why was it left available for the family, immediate or otherwise, to find to raise questions about.  Unless there is other compelling evidence, which there appears to be none, at face value the card implies a level of friendship existed but does not explicitly mean mutual parenthood. 

We also understand that Lennie, who always lived in eastern Oklahoma, may have met the purported "George" under the assumption that they were father and daughter.  What conversation transpired is unknown.  However, we are told this meeting occurred after Lennie's parents were deceased.  Thus, we do not know whether the meeting was the result of Tim and/or Bertha's explicit permission or whether George acted entirely on his own under an assumption, real or otherwise, that he was Lennie's father.   

In short, the truth of the matter is a secret and since the participants themselves, actual or otherwise, are deceased the truth likely will remain a secret.  No matter who Lennie's father was, she was explicitly "adopted" by Tim Stone and considered by him to be his daughter, raised as a Stone and never considered other than a Stone by her extended family all of her life. 

Whatever weight the above observations and theory merit, it is very plausible that Lennie Mae was a Stone by blood the day she was born. 

Notes for TIMOTHY NIMROD STONE:

Tim's 1958 death certificate in San Diego, CA first states that he was born in 1871 then was amended by affidavit 3 months later to be 1873.  We have used the 1872 date shown in his mother's family bible as well as her affidavits regarding her Widow's Pension application during the 1890s. 

Tim was tall and lanky and described by numerous relatives as having been a true "gentleman."  He was most often seen in public wearing a large brimmed  western hat.

8.  SUSAN MAE "LILLIAN"5 HASTINGS (ROBERT JAMES YELL4, GEORGE WILLIAM3, WILLIAM C.2, GREEN?1) was born December 25, 1901 in Webber Falls, Cherokee Nation, and died January 12, 1972 in National City, San Diego Co, CA.  She married NEWTON JASPER "TED?" CAMPBELL July 25, 1920 in Wetumka, Hughes Co, OK, son of EDWIN CAMPBELL and AMANDA ATKINSON. 

Notes for SUSAN MAE "LILLIAN" HASTINGS:

We have two separate photographs of Susie and Newton's wedding day in 1920.  One is of the two families in an outside alcove of the Church before the ceremony as Susan is not yet in wedding attire.  We believe this photo includes seated directly in front of her: 

Uncle William A. Cartmell, the oldest son of George W. Cartmell and Elizabeth "Betty" Jane Ellis, former the 1st cousin of Melissa Catherine Southerland who is standing between the bride and groom.  We believe sitting immediately to William A. Cartmell's right in front of Melissa is Elizabeth "Betty" Jane (Ellis) Cartmell herself, the oldest sister of Melissa's deceased mother Rachel Margaret (Ellis) Southerland, and at the time Susie's oldest living great Aunt. 

We believe these two individuals are important since both William and his mother resided in Ellis Co, TX at the same time that Melissa and her parents did prior to the Civil War.  Also, in 1870 they were residing in Benton Co, AR at the same time as Melissa Catherine.  In 1920 Betty Cartmell was 93 years old (died in 1925) and this picture reflects her age.  However, it also reflects that at 93 she had a definite Native American appearance and straight black hair.  Her son William does also.  Rachel Margaret (Ellis) Southerland is said to have been very Cherokee in appearance and photos of her four daughters, including Melissa Catherine, further reflect a Native American appearance.   

The second photo is of Susan, her mother Melissa and William Cartmell after the ceremony, as Susan was now in her wedding attire.

According to Virgle Atkerson, he initially was a banker in Sallisaw and lived in Stilwell, OK.  Per nephew Franklin D. Atkerson, owned a bank in Idabel, McCurtin Co, OK. 

From abstract held by Pete & Sharon King of Sallisaw, OK: 

Estate of Jeff D. Atkerson, dated 7-1-1959, No. 31418B, BK 255, Page 257, McCurtain Co, OK, recorded 12-21-1959.  Heirs were Bernice Atkerson (wife) and Joan (Atkerson) Stachiw (wife of Jerry D. Stachiw, Rockport, TX).

Notes for DOROTHEA "DOROTHY" STONE:

There is confusion regarding whether Dorothea was married perhaps upwards of three times and who was the father of her children.  According to her father's death certificate in CA as well as his obit, she was identified as the informant  named Dorothy Warner while living virtually next door.  We do know by relatives that she was at least married to a Wright and may first have been married to a John Coch. 

Ernest Allen Lewis, Jr, a relative living in CA who knew the family, indicates Dorothea died on September 13, 1993.  As such, she is further identified by the Social Security Death Index as:

Notes for LOTTIE MARIE WILLIAMS:

Until the time of her death, Lottie Marie was heavily involved in genealogical research regarding her family and ancestors.  What initially was simply gathering family stories from the immediate past generation mushroomed to a passionate search for the truth upwards of 175 years deep.  Her research spanning 20 years, and done by old fashion letter writing, was thought to have been lost.  Fortunately, almost all of her material has recently been found in the possession of a close relative.  She is assisting in an effort to make the James and Sarah (Riggs) Ellis, the George and Delilah Hastings, the William Henry and Rachel Margaret (Ellis) Southerland, Jr., and the Thomas B.S. and Nancy Ann (Murphey) Stone "tree" known, understood and whole for the first time in their respective histories.  

Notes for ERNEST ALLEN LEWIS, SR:

Prior to WW II, Ernest worked in the coal "strip" mines east and northeast of Henryetta, OK.  He and Lottie Marie divorced in about 1943.  After WW II he lived on Slausen Boulevard in the Watts section of south Los Angeles, CA.  He made car springs for older autos and reportedly had a very good business.  Because of his standing in the local community, the devastation that resulted from racial disturbances in Watts during the 1960s bypassed his place of business.  He died at Sawtelle Veterans Hospital in West Los Angeles, was first buried in LA then removed and re-interred in Cody, WY.
