Hello,
Cynthia (
Whiteley)
Bohannon is buried in the
Proctor Cemetery near
Proctor, OK. I can't remember if it is in Adair or Cherokee co, OK. She married Joseph
Bohannon. Their daughter, Elizabeth Ann
Bohannon married a cousin, Joseph Lee "
Tobe" Martin, son of Cynthia's sister, Janette
Johnson and her husband, James W. C. Martin.
I am Eddene
Hightower Thompson, widow of Cynthia (
Whiteley) Bohannon's great-great-great-grandson, Newt
Thompson who passed away 9 January 2006. I have worked on both of our family trees for 34 years and have been in contact with quite a number of older workers/kinfolks who had worked on the family. As far as I know, there is no known indian proof that has ever been found. This is a common factor in many, many families although we have all heard the stories of our people being indian and/or having been some of them who traveled the Trail of Tears, etc.
I would be glad to share by email or a gedcom file the info that I have in my computer on the descendants and ancestors of Cynthia. If there is a particular line that you just want info on then I can do that too.
I am inserting the ancestry of Cynthia
Whiteley but there is much more on allied families and the Bohannons. My husband was descended through Cynthia's daughter, Elizabeth Ann who married Joseph "
Tobe" Martin. When they moved to the Proctor/Welling, Ok area, Cynthia moved with them, too, as her husband was passed on. About 1978, my mother-in-law, Ola Belle (Kay)
Thompson and I visited the area, met a great-granddaughter, Lucy (Brock) Brown of the area and she took us around to the cemeteries, etc. She showed us that on the south side of Elizabeth
Bohannon Martin's grave was where Cynthia
Bohannon was buried. I don't believe there was a stone. Newt and I also visited some of the Bohannon's near the old homeplace near Hindsville,
Madison Co, AR about that same time and the two brothers told us about the old grandmother who lived to be over 100 years old that died over there at
Proctor. They knew about her and that confirmed it for us.
I have not been in touch with any of the kinfolk about the family tree in a very long time so I don't have anyone to pass you on to. If I can help you more I would be glad to.
I am planning on moving in with my daughter and her family soon so I can't give you a positive address, but my email (
OkieEddy@yahoo.com) will always be active, as it has been my main email since 1998. Contact me if you want to.
Sincerely, Eddene
Hightower Thompson aka Mrs. Newt
Thompson for 45 years.
