Joyce,
My Columbus Wayne Bohanan My maternal Grandfather was Born in Marshall, AK April 21,1870, youngest child of William Alexander Bohannon and Mary Cotton. Other Bohannon children were (1)Cornelius W. Neal,(2)John Lee,(3)Sarah Elizabeth "Katie", (4)mary Jane,(5)Charles Daniel,(6)Martin Van Buren,(7)William Alexander(JR),(8)Patrick Lyons,(9)Nancy Minerva Ann and (10)My grandfather, Columbus Wayne, as far as I know, was the only one in his family that changed the spelling of his surname to Bohanan. He married Louisa Charlotte Parker in 1900 in McClennan County, TX (Waco)and they had 5 children. (1)Clara,(2)Rose, my mother,(3)Alex,(4)Anna,and (5)Ted. All have passed away. Columbus Wayne died October 6, 1936 and is buried in Leticia Cemetery, Pumpkin Center,Comanche County,OK which is 10 miles or so east of Lawton.
If he was married before, this is the first time I have heard it mentioned. I'm interested and curious, because he was about 30 years of age when he married my grandmother in 1900. I'll try sending you an original message on your e-address and see if it gets rejected, as was my reply.Roger
