How many people do you know whose white ancestors came here in the 1600s and up till 1772 but whose parents were not born in any state of the union?

 I am working on Black Costners today and marveling that my mother was born in Oklahoma Territory and my father in Indian Territory.

In 1952 when I was an apprentice telegrapher on the AT&SF in Red Rock, Oklahoma, we had beautiful pristine tickets on great hooks for destination in OT and IT. Well, that was not too long after statehood, and of course the tickets were still valid.
