    Notes:

    His education stopped at the 3rd grade.

    Per family legend, Richard Fleming Donison changed his last name to Donaldson between 1906 and 1908 some where en route from Missouri to New Mexico. There is rumor it had something to do with a murder and cover up.

    He is said to have been a cattle rustler who would steal cattle in New Mexico and take them south to sell. At one point he is said to have returned with a "squaw," whom he took as his wife. It is not said what would have happened to Roxie Ann (Wardlow) in order to allow this.

    Both these legends are completely counter to primary documents (e.g. court records, vital records, deed records, etc.), though the surname spelling does settle on "Donaldson" as Richard reaches adulthood, presumably because he was literate. Deed records of Stoddard Co., Missouri, use both "Donison" and "Donaldson" in reference to Richard's father, George A Donison/Donaldson.

    Not found in Cleveland Co., Oklahoma deed record indexes 1910-1926 (21 Jan 2019)

    Notes:

    Read the 1860 federal census for District 1, Cherokee Co, Alabama (NOT the same as "Division 1"); nothing remotely likely

    Read the 1860 Div. 1, Cherokee Co., Alabama federal census, a couple Donalsons--close but no cigar!

    Searched Castor Twp., Stoddard Co., MO federal census for 1860, did not find any Donaldson, Donison, Denison etc.

    Most likely seeming 1860 census match is to G W Donalson in Gwinnett Co., Georgia, son of H W and Lucy Donalson, with seven siblings; however all children of H W (Hezekiah) are accounted for

    Irish came into the family with Nancy Hill. Henry Donison married an Italian woman.

    Searched Stoddard Co. Probate Settlement Records v 6 through page 74, DNF
    Most Stoddard Co., Missouri probate books were not indexed and would have to be searched page by page; little of genealogical use is likely to be learned (19 Oct 2017)
