Notes
a. Note:   According to Civil War Pension application filed on behalf of him and his siblings, his mother died when he was 9 months old of a brain fever and his father died when he was 18 months old of the after effects of measles. His maternal grandfather was appointed guardian and applied for the pension on behalf of the children.
  He and his wife were 1st cousins, once removed. Her father was a much younger brother of his maternal grandfather.
  According to Craig County History , p 580, " April 22, 1889, John Franklin Seney was one of the 50,000 waiting at the line for the opening for homesteading in territory. He chose his site, drove three stakes and started to drive the fourth, when a man arose in the grass with a gun and said, "Me sooner, This is my land." JF Seney returned to Missouri with the praises of Oklahoma.... but he would not bring his family to this lawless territory until Oklahoma became a state. In November, 1907 JF Seney and family came to White Oak, Craig County, by covered wagon, trailed by a colt and leading a milk cow. It took them three weeks to make the trip, including having to wait for the Grand RIver to go down after a flood so they could cross. Seney, a Missouri school teacher, taught at White Oak, in the old school located one mile west of the present town, for $3.00 a month. Later they moved to Big Cabin, where he and his wife lived the rest of their lives.
  In the 1910 census he is there in Craig county listed as a farmer. I never gfound him in the 1920 census.
