Harry & Jane Sells sold their allotments to the Broken
ArrowTownsite Company in 1904.
BROKEN
ARROW
The original survey and plat of the
Broken Arrow townsite included a 120-acre tract of land which had
been allotted by the Creek Nation to Stephen Franklin (F-3155) and
80 acres of land allotted to Harry Sells (F2616), both Freedmen.
Forty acres of land on the South edge of Broken Arrow townsite were
purchased later from Billy Atkins (C826), a Muscogee Indian. The
townsite of Broken Arrow was surveyed and platted in 1902; however,
warranty deeds could not be issued un 1903 because the lad was
restricted by the Creek Nation.
