The Coordinator is John Matthews and I maintain the Lincoln County, Oklahoma GenWeb page. While I live in Minnesota, I have roots in Lincoln County. My grandfather, Hiram Clark (McGaughey Jr.) Adams was born in Chandler in 1906. His father, Hiram Clark McGaughey Sr., had the first general store (originally the Sac and Fox general store, then the McGaughey-Cunningham store) and was elected mayor in 1904. My g-g-grandfather, James Franklin Ayars, came to the county in 1892 and was county commissioner and county treasurer. My g-g-g-grandfather, Henry M. Mitchell, opened the Mitchell House hotel in 1891. Please let me know if you would like to contribute your information to this page.
