Geneva Lee Bolen 1928ish to 1994 I am not able to find info on her parents. She is my Maternal Grandmother. She grew up in an orphanage in Pryor, OK (may have misspelled it). Her sister is Jamie and brother is Charlie (Charles) one place says Star City, AR. Then another says here in Oklahoma as place of birth. Records were burnt in a fire at orphanage. I believe her mom was Eva or Eve. Her Grandfather may have been Charles Bolen that came to Oklahoma on the trail of tears.

Here is Geneva with her parents and siblings in the 1930 census in Arkansas:  

"United States Census, 1930," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XMLJ-X7T : accessed 12 June 2021), Geneva Bolden, Spring, Lincoln, Arkansas, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) ED 21, sheet , line , family , NARA microfilm publication T626 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 2002), roll ; FHL microfilm .

According to that census her father’s parents were born in Arkansas and Mississippi. James was living with his parents Lee and Alice Bolen in Spring, Arkansas, not Indian Territory, in 1900.
