The Rose - Ball Family Home Page

The Rose and Ball Families "merged" in 1962. Our ancestors lived in Texas and Oklahoma. Our Texas relatives lived here in 1842, before Texas was a state. Our Oklahoma relatives lived in Indian Territory in 1900's, before Oklahoma was a state. We are descendants of Pioneers and Native Americans.
We are researching the surnames of: Bracken, Bryant, Ruth, Welch, and Wortham.

The BRACKEN family came from Ireland..

Our Cherokee Indian ancestors are the RUTH family and WELCH family.

The Ruth family lived in Oklahoma about 1900. The Welch family lived in Missouri before the Civil War. I haven't found either family on a census roll before 1910.

Any information on these families would be appreciated. I am willing to share information.
