My great-grandfather, Miles Anderson Eades, came from KY in about 1887 with his sons and a brother or two.Miles and his son, Willie Walbridge Eades, lived in SE Oklahoma around Randolph and Russet, which isn't too far from Durant.The reason your message caught my attention was not only because of the area, but because Miles had a son named Gordon who later named one of his sons Richard.The name Gordon isn't all that common.Maybe there's a connection.The Eades I know are big on naming their sons for uncles and other family members.Is Oscar as far back as you can go?
