GEORGE A. TRAWICK and Miss BELLE MCCONLEY were married at Loco, Friday, Rev. HAMILTON officiated.

James married Alice Emaline Tussey. Alice was born about 1882 in Texas; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lynell Gentry notes that his headstone lists him as being age 64 at the time of the death in 1899, which would make his year of birth as 1835 instead of 1838.

Ken Harvey writes that they lived in Searcy, Arkansas when their their two oldest children were born. Sometime before 1871, when daughter Elzada was born, they moved to Coffeyville, Kansas; perhaps as a result of railroad advertisements promoting Coffeyville and Independence as two large towns on the Border of the United States and the Indian Territory.

The Homestead Act, enacted during the Civil War in 1862, provided that any adult citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government could claim 160 acres of surveyed government land. Claimants were required to "improve" the plot by building a dwelling and cultivating the land. After 5 years on the land, the original filer was entitled to the property, free and clear, except for a small registration fee. Title could also be acquired after only a 6-month residency and trivial improvements, provided the claimant paid the government $1.25 per acre. After the Civil War, Union soldiers could deduct the time they had served from the residency requirements. This served to opened western lands to qualified citizens, the Indian Territory of Kansas and Oklahoma-home to more than three dozen tribes-was subject to a series of legal measures that reduced its extent. A new philosophy of assimilation favored bringing Native Americans into the United States as individual citizens, rather than allowing them lands and tribal sovereignty-a philosophy that conveniently left many acres open for settlement.

However, these unassigned lands were not opened unitl 1889, and during the decades after the Homestead Act, settlers acting illegally forced the government's hand by squatting on Indian land. The Ingalls family, of Little House on the Prairie fame, was one of a group of white settlers who set up house on Osage lands in Kansas in the 1860s, before that tribe was removed (again) to Oklahoma.

The Trawick family did not stay long in Coffeyville. Kenn Harvey noted that "after the Jayhawkers became active they moved back to Searcy, Arkansas." In the late 1870's the family moved westward again, this time to Texas.
