That's some great sleuthing, Rayedene. In his 5 Feb 1894 homestead testimony at Camden Land Office he says he is 33 yrs. old, born in Illinois, has a wife and four children, and has resided on the homestead since Dec. 1886. Witnesses for him, by the way, were John B Trammell, James J Trammell, Joseph A Mauldin, and Bennet G. Cartwright. Mrs. BC in the 1900 census sounds like Bonnie C Weatherly, and it does look like BD in 1920 OK census next to son. I think I'll have to spend more time looking into Bowie records -- some roads keep leading back there. Thanks for being such a big help, Rayedene.
