Choctaw County was created at statehood in 1907 and takes its name from the Indian tribal name, “Chahta”. It was created out of the districts of Apukshunubbee and Pushmataha and contains portions of Jackson, Kiamitia (Kiamichi), Cedar and Towson counties of the Choctaw Nation (political subdivisions).The 1860 Choctaw Nation constitution divided the Nation into 3 districts; Pushmataha, Apukshunubbee, and Mushulatubbee. Each district was further divided into counties. Choctaw county is located in southern Oklahoma and borders Texas. The county seat is Hugo. (Source: USGenweb Choctaw Co. website).

Note: Judy Wood Myers, granddaughter of Ruth Ellen Combs (B: 2 Feb 1892, TX D: 11 Jun 1955. Torrance, CA), daughter of Frances (Frank) Combs (B:3 Feb 1852, KY D: 14 Feb 1906. OK) and Emma EARNHART (B: 28 May 1862, IL D: 8 Jan 1954, CA), states the above Frank aka Francis was the son of Wiley Combs (B: 8 Apr 1826, KY M: 1851 KY) and Mary Polly FIELDS (B: abt 1833, KY) with this Wiley being the son of Henry Combs, Jr. (s/o of Henry “8” Combs) and Nancy BROWN of Perry Co., Ky. No source documentation provided; however, Judy states she has the 9 Sep 1880 Texas marriage certificate for Frank and Emma. According to Judy, there are two family traditions. One states that when Frank was age 14, his father shot a neighbor over a cow in his field and then fled to Texas. The family never saw him again. The second story was that it was Frank that shot the neighbor, fled to Texas and married Emma ERNHART. Frank may be the Frank Combs, age 24, living in an 1880 Colllin Co, TX, household that included an Emily EARNHART. If this is Francis, son of Wiley, then his birth is recorded in Perry Co, KY, on 9 Jan 1852, as Francis Marion Combs, son of Wiley Combs and Polly FIELDS (Wiley married 26 Jan 1851, Carter Co., KY, Polly FIELDS).
Addl Notes: Although census records are notorious for inaccuracies and individuals escaping from legal difficulties were not always truthful about their origins, the fact that this census record states Frank's parents were born in Ireland is curious. The month of birth is different and the year is off by 3. Wiley Combs is not found in the Perry Co, KY, 1870 census and his whereabouts is unknown. No record of his death has been located. Wiley's sons Marion (age 16) and Henry (14) are living with the LANGLIN family in Perry Co. in 1870.
