Wilma-
There was no one named "Bohannan" on the last Cherokee roll taken three years before the Trail of Tears, and none shown on the first roll taken in Indian Territory after their arrival. The Trail did not terminate in Arkansas.

The family should be shown on the U.S. census of AR.

Good luck

My grandmother Ethel Wages told me that my great grandfather was a Cherokee Chief - named Billy Buck Bohannan. I have always wanted to know more info but nobody seems to have anything else to tell. Ethel has lived in the Seattle/Tacoma for many many years and currently resides in a nursing home. I would love to learn more and see if we are distant relatives. I hope to hear back from you. Please email me, I will respond. mgray_2000@yahoo.com
Thank you
Michelle
