Still, the thing to remember is the LOCATION WHERE THE EVENT OCCURRED. That is where the records stayed - they did not move when a new county (or state) was formed. You did not give the date of death ... but presume after 1907? Okemah, Seminole County, Oklahoma - July 1907 from Seminole Indian Lands. County Clerk in Wewoka Okfuskee County, Oklahoma - July 1907 from Creek Indian Lands. County Clerk in Okemah Maybe 'whoever' is saying the death certificate is incorrect because they knew he lived in the other county?? However, If the place of death is truly incorrect and if you can prove that fact, then apply for a 'corrected' death certificate. Did he die at home, in a hospital, accident in the other county??? Also, check with the funeral home ... perhaps they did make a mistake ... if it was their mistake ask them to handle the corrected certificate. Jennings is not unlike other towns ... Here in the Houston area, we have Katy, Texas. As the city grew, it is now in Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties .... not borders but actual city limits are in all counties. The guy could live in one county and die in the hospital six blocks away in another county ... but where he died is what his death certificate will say. The mail, of course, is delivered by town, not county.
