The story you relate is one that has been passed down thru my family in S. Oklahoma.It is the first time I have heard of it outside the family.John Wesley Hignight (from what we know) had three sons, William, Tom and John, all of whom sharecropped in and around southern Oklahoma and northern Texas.When the dust bowl set in, Tom and John left for California.William eventually migrated to Overbrook, OK (just south of Ardmore) and married Grace Gentry (dec.).His children were Geneva (Pruitt)(dec.) W.E. (my father - dec.), Billy, Charles (dec.) and Royace.
