BAWHAW
I am searching for the genealogy of a woman named Florence Tennessee Bawhaw she was my Great Grandmother who married a Bivens, John Paul I beleive was his name. The Bawhaw could have been spelled differently such as Baha, Bahaw, Bawha or any other number of ways. Her middle name Tennessee may have been spelled different or it may have been her first name. It may have been spelled Tennehee this is a common spelling I have found in other Indian history research of the state. There is a colorful and lengthy story that follows her name, told down to me by the elders of years past. I have no knowledge of her recorded past if any exist, only that she was Indian. We think (and I remember as a child) she is Cherokee, but I have no way to be sure. The story was so many years ago and I was so very young at the time the details are unclear. With the County being mostly Indian territory according to the records, Chickasaw treaty of 1816 she may have been Chickasaw. Please help if you have any knowledge what so ever.

I am looking for the parents of my g-father, James Wiley WILLIAMS, DOB 4/6/1872 Lawrenceburg, TN. No rec of him in the 1880 Lawrence Co census or until he marries Nettie Orr in Shreveport, LA in 1908. He, Nettie, & my father, John Wiley appear in the Texarkana, AR, Miller Co census which confirms his birthplace was TN and his parents were from VA. James Wiley quit teaching & went to work for RR 1914. 1920 census has them living in N.Little Rock with all 3 children. Family stories said his wealthy family lost their plantation, labor force, and properties following the Civil War to the Govnmt and Northerners. His death cert was of no help, Parents names were unknown. The history of Alfred O. Williams family sounds very much like our story, but James Wiley WILLIAMS does not appear in their family bibles.
