4b.  1890 First Territorial Census of Oklahoma (online at Ancestry.com):  not found because the Chickasaw Nation is not included in this database.

Based on other evidence, the conclusion I have come to is that the census is grossly in error with regard to the data for Myrtle.  While Gill was first married 12 years ago and while he is the father of the three children listed, that information pertains only to him and is wrong for her.  Myrtle was really born in 1882, as clearly shown by several other, stronger records; and they were really married in 1899, as indicated by Chickasaw Nation marriage records, which means, of the children, only Velina/Velma is Myrtle's.

Can't find Grover, but he is believed to have survived.

The birthplaces of Myrtle's parents are consistent with her being a daughter of Charles Solon CORBIN (b. MS) and his second wife, Eller (b. AR).  Myrtle is not a biological sister of Bob FLOYD, who is the son of Robert Wesley FLOYD and his second wife, Elvira GUIN.  The connection is that Charles Solon married third to Emma Izora (__?__) FLOYD, who was formerly the third wife of Robert Wesley.

Even if Gill were 3/4 Chocktaw, the children would only be 3/8 Chocktaw, not 7/8.  However, the Dawes Rolls show Gill as only 1/8 Chocktaw and the children as only 1/16 Chocktaw.

Surname	Given Name	Birth	Death
DILLARD	Gill	11 Feb 1868	7 Apr 1944
DILLARD	Jessie	17 Nov 1914	7 Nov 1930

Is it possible this Jessie is Gill's wife, but her stone was misread as to her birthyear (should be 1904)?  Or a typo was made on data entry?
