Well, it took me all of six minutes on Ancestry.com to find an Arkansas County marriage index a record of marriage between Harry Gunn Reed of Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas and Bethania Elvina "Hannie" Crawford on 2 June 1893.  He was 20, and she was about 17.

Her residence was listed in this record as "Indian Territory."

Just sayin'.

Oh, this would be Elizabeth Warren's paternal grandmother, btw.

FHL Film Number:	1034043 Then there is Hannie Crawford's father, Warren's great-grandfather, who moved from Missouri to Arkansas to Oklahoma, eventually settling down happily in Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Township 12, District 47.  John H.

Crawford's residence on this marriage certificate is listed as "Wetumka, Indian Territory."  Burial: Wetumka Cemetery, Wetumka, Hughes County, Oklahoma, USA. And here are other Crawford relations, who, though not running for the Senate, are apparently for political and social advantage concocting Indian ancestors [NOT].  Same lineage as Warren, fwiw. All those Crawfords who resided in Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Township 12, District 47, are listed on the 1900 Census as white. As is every single other resident of Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Township 12, District 47.  You do the math.
