My great grandparents are both buried in the Hopping Cemetary in McClain Co., Okla.

They were Jasper Newton Bowen b. 1856 N.C. d. 1930 Hydro Caddo Co. His wife was Percilla Gibbs b. 1867 Ark and d. 1915 Wayne.

I am looking for any family of their kids. Also if someone could see if their graves are intact or not. They had the following children:

Sarah Elmira Bowen marr. Aurthur Burton Hume
Pauline Jane Bowen (Jennie) marr Ether Jerome Thomas
Zelia Belle Bowen marr Kerwin Marshall Carson(Kit)
Leatha Ellen Bowen marr William (Bill) Lewis
Myrtle Bowen marr Allan Wheelis
Martha Ann (Mattie) marr Frank Burnett
Bessie Evans Bowen marr Jess Standridge
Mary Mae Bowen marr Homer H. Hames & the after his death Jess Wilson

The only son they had was Gilford Lewis Bowen (Dugan) who marr Bessie Ditmore.

Percilla' mother was supposedly a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Her folks were C.Harvey Gibbs and Elmira Bailey. They marr in Ark. We believe they came to Okla. with Jasper & Percilla and are probably buried in the Hopping Cemetary with their children.

Thanks,
