Edmond & Sarah Kuykendall McGuffey NC

I am a bit excited now..it has been AGES since I have visited this site..however, I am still looking for Othena McGuffey...my great great grandmother.
I am fairly certain that she is a granddaughter..or maybe great granddaughter of Sarah Kuykendall and James Edmond McGuffey. Up until tonight, the only children I could be certain of were three sons, James, Jesse and Jake. I can trace descendants of James and Jesse..and can find very little about Jake..However, I had decided that there HAD to be other children..and now I see that Marge says there were also Esther and John...tell me more..PLEASE..Does anyone know about the descendants of John?
I can give you all kinds of stuff about Edmond and Sarah..I can go backward..but I can't seem to fill the gap from them to my great grandmother.
Here is what know:
Othena was born, most likely in Smith County, TN about 1835. She came to Arkansas, Izard County and married Squire Wood..also from Smith County, TN..(the Woods had come to Arkansas before the McGuffeys did)...they married in Izard County about 1855. Their marriage records burned in the Izard County Courthouse fire in January 1889. Othena had nine children. The next to the youngest was my great grandmother, Mellvina Jane Wood Hunt born December 25, 1872. My great grandmother was just two years old, when Mellvina gave birth to Joseph, in January 1875 and shortly died...complications of child birth. Othena is buried in what is now known as the Vest Cemetery near Boswell, in Izard County, AR.
Can you or anyone you know help me figure out who Othena's parents were? Could she have descended from John?
I would love some feedback.
