Looking for the parents or Florence(Flower) Chaney

Surnames: Chaney, Henderson, Lemons
My great great grandmother's name is Florence/Flower Chaney or Henderson and she was born in 1858 probably in Louisiana. I am not sure what her maiden name really is. On her marriage record with her and her husband Wesley Lemons her maiden name was Chaney

but on the 1880 census Racahel Henderson who I believe is her sister was on the record. Henderson may be her married name but who knows right now. At the time Florence was living in Dewitt, Arkansas county, Arkansas and Florence was also listed as mulatto on the census as well as all of her kids (one child of hers wasn't listed and her name was Malissa).

Florence remarried twice, one of her husbands names were Ephraim Johns and another was Henry Cartwright. I would love to find more records on her and perhaps a death certificate and I would love to find out who her parents are. I am wondering if she has any American Indian ancestry and or Louisiana Creole ancestry. Thank you for your time.
