“I am 86 or 87 years old. I belonged to Reason Jones. He was a Choctaw. I have been living in the Territory ever since I was turned loose. I am married. My wife’s name is Violet Vinson. She belonged to Polly Hampton, a Choctaw, and she has been living with me in the Territory all the time. I have two grandchildren at home. I have one son, Johnson Vinson, living with me. My grandchildren’s father was Albert Vinson and their mother was a state woman. They were married. I know it. They lived together as man and wife.”
