I just started with my family history this past week so it's exciting to see something that clicks with what I've got even if it's a mixed up version to what I've got. My mom has a Bible that belonged to her mother, my grandmother, Letha Pauline Thomas Huggins. Letha was the youngest daughter of Harriet Susan Leamons and Franklin Alonzo Thomas. Harriet was a daughter of John Leamons and one of his two wives, Emeline or Sarah. This is what's written in the Bible: John Leamons born May 18, 1811 died February 2, 1892. Emeline Duke Leamons born August 5, 1833 died February 21, 1875. Three children are listed that were born to John and Emeline, they are William Duke born February 24, 1870. Octavy L. born November 22, 1871, and Aticus Jackson born February 19, 1875. Another wife was listed as Sarah Leamons. No maiden name was given but she was born July 30, 1847 in Union County, Arkansas, and died February 6, 1905. According to the Bible, Sarah and John had one daughter, Harriet Susan born September 12, 1867 in Union County, Arkansas, died October 19, 1929. And Harriett married Franklin Alonzo Thomas in Miller County (Arkansas I think) on June 7, 1885, and all their children are listed. Inside this Bible was a letter postmarked July 26, 1929 in Texas, addressed to Harriet "Hattie" from her brother W.D. Leamons. We assume W.D. is a brother, probably William Duke, because the saluation says "Dear sister." W.D. talks about his wife Mattie and about a sister still living there in Grapeland, Texas, and that she has two children, Willie Mae Leamons born September 16, 1904, and Johnie Lee Leamons born May 11, 1907. Then he goes on and lists several more names and dates and there's no reference who these children belong to. They are J.D. Leamons born 8/15/1908, A.C. Leamons born 11/29/1909, E.L. Leamons born 1/13/1912, Gertrude Leamons born 3/6/1914, Howard Leamons born 3/20/1916, Silvia Leamons born 1/11/1918, and Marjorie Duke Leamons born 9/27/1924. Then he says something about another brother O.L. Leamons and a year 1889. Maybe he's talking about Octavy L., but according to the Bible he was born in 1871. So, have I confused you yet? I would have emailed all this to you but couldn't locate an address. So I hope I don't bore anyone skimming through the postings. What's confusing to my mom and I are the dates in the Bible for the wives. My mom was always told that Emeline was his first wife and he married after she died. But that conflicts with Sarah's information. As for the rumor/story you were told, well we were told the same. So it's possibly true. I haven't progressed very far with the Duke's since I didn't know Emeline's parents names. John Leamons is my gggrandfather, was a Chickasaw Indian and had at one time been a chief. We were always told that he took an "English" name upon leaving his tribe and it wasn't documented what his Indian name was. I hope you see this posting soon and that you'll email me soon. This is exciting!
