Note:  These are cemetery records from Northeast Oklahoma (mainly Cherokee domain). The title should not confuse those researching these records, as many buried in these old cemeteries were Cherokee, but many were whites who had settled in those areas, including their children who were born and died there.  Plat Maps of the areas will assist in locating these cemeteries.  Their locations are given by Section, Range, and Township (represented by the abbreviates Sec, R, and T).
