I am looking for people from Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma with the surname Whiteside.?

I went to

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin...

and used Whiteside as a surname. I got this many hits for this state as birthplace:

AR - 191

OK - 66

TX - 177

================

In 1910 this looks like them in Benton, Fulton, AR:

Marion Whitesides, 58, head, Mo

Annie Whitesides, 52, wife, Mo

Josie Whitesides, 23, dau, Ark

Calvin Whitesides, 21, son, Ark

Herald Whitesides, 16, son, Ark

Marion Whitesides, 12, son, Ark

Sarah J Whitesides, 87, mother, Tenn

In 1910 Annis is hiding out under her middle name. They are playing fast and loose with their birth years in one of these or the other. Josie is probably shading the truth by two years in 1910 because she is an old maid.

Mammoth Spring, Fulton, Arkansas

Marion Whitesides 50

Margaret A Whitesides 46

Jackson F Whitesides 23

Josie Whitesides 15

Minnie Whitesides 13

Calvin Whitesides 10

Earl Whitesides 5

Your dad may have been hiding or his middle name may be Earl or the "C" in "Carl" may look like an "E" to the indexer.

=====================

Here they are in 1880:
