Trying to discover the Cephas connection

Surnames: Cephas
Hi all. My name is Harold Cephas and I'm trying to find out if I'm part of the family tree of any of the Cephas' mentioned. Unfortunately, it seems as though none of us have a lot of information about our ancestry due to families being forcibly separated. Anyway, my grandfather Henry Cephas(whom I never met) setteled in Eudora, which is in Chico County Arkansas. Henry Cephas passed about 1940. His children are as follows:
Harrison (my father), Levi (aka James), Essie(Akres), Virginia (Miles), Ollie-Mae(Thomas), Rose-Mae (Brown), Fred, Gertrude (Whitfield). All of these would have roots in Eudora, Arkansas and/or Louisiana. Women's names in brackets are the names they married into. Otherwise, all have Cephas as their surname.
I also understand that Henry Cephas had two brothers: Harrison and Brigham that were from somewhere in PA.
I also have some family in the Chicago area. If anything sounds familiar with any of the people mentioned please drop me a note at: haroldcephas@home.com

God Bless,

Harold

Hi Harold,

My name is Amika. It's quite odd that I just happened to stumble across this message. I'm trying to do a family tree also. WOW!

I think I may be your niece. My sister is Ashika. Melvin Cephas was our father and Essie is (was) his mother.

Hello,

I am Lisa and have done our family history for about 17 years. If Helen Cephas mom is Alma terry and Alma's mom is Anna grant, we are cousins. and if Helen has kids Lonnie, Lisa and Levi Cephas

let me know if any of this rings true or if you have family from Eudora ark.

Lisa
