- Sarah Jane went by Sallie, and appears in the 1900 census married to Frank E. Brady, in Indian Territory, Township 12, District 41, Image 15.
Below is communication from 2010 concerning this line:
Dear Mary Helen,
I passed through Dallas last week...would also like to come back again! How do you do DNA? Do you know anyone that is still around doing our reunions here; in TX? I met with Bonnie Peebles in Sapulpa, she is ever young.
We are the great grand daughters of Sallie Jane McFarland, daughter of Horatio.
Sallie Jane married a Mr. Daniel. Her next marriage was to John West Markham, on the direct Nancy Ward line in the tribe of Cherokee. Sallie Jane put her only child, Lonzo Burk Markham on the Dawes/Final Rolls...
Widowed Sallie Jane married a Mr. Brady and he helped raise our grandfather, L. Burk Markham, on the Markham Ranch in Warner, OK.
Do you have ancestry.com? I have been trying to form our tree, and I have always wanted to come to the reunions Mcfarland. Now we are the eldest and have a little time to take an intrest.
It is very special to go to the old country, love to feel the sweetness of the natural beauty left there for us.

Dear Ms Mary Helen and Jim,
We are in Cherokee capitol and I am now at the NSU library to check email... glad I did.
We went to the Porum Coleman cemetery and at the top of the hill next to a rusty little square fence cluster of family plots belonging to the overseers ancestry, I saw Rebbecca Wilkerson, her husband and other Wilkerson members. The gentleman who happened to be there will send photos of the headstones to me to me. He refused payment.
Yesterday, we ventured again to Webbers Falls, slowed down and enjoyed a local carwash drive while all the cherokee, apache, and whites got on their cell phones to find that " Micfar land cemetery". They did give us accurate details on how to find DURDEE CRICK just across I 40.
Once at Mcfarland Cemetery I admired the handsome granite monument and was spellbound when I found Greatgranmas 1st husband Tribble Daniel tombstone and of course the blessed McFarlands amongst the lilac and nicely landscaped abode. No sooner did we get in the car a landscaper cherokee showed up and called a man for us in regards to Nell Francis who is connected with us.
By 12:00 we went to meet with a dozen folks to caravan out to the old ranch allotement and see the cemetery on the hill pond surrounded by 5 beau d'arc trees ggranpa John West Markham planted 140 years ago in Warner- this trip is like a dream getting better. AND WHERE is our GGrandma Sallie Jane McFarlands headstone? I found some rocks ONLY out next to J.W. (1st wife Martha C. Riley Markham is laid to rest in full regalia).
Going to Locust Grove is an adventure and took us completly by suprise. Such hospitality is leaving us hungry to move back. We won't brag to much to strangers.
Sallie Jane and Sue Elaine, daughters of the Markham girls
