She was the daughter of Josiah Patterson Blair and Nancy Ann McClain. She married Jim L. Bonham in Boone county Arkansas and they had three children. Rosie Elgin, J. Harvey and Emma. About 1887 they started to oklahoma and in the vicinity of Atoka, Ok. Jim and Harvey contracted typhoid fever and died. They are buried there. Leanna, Rosie and Emma returned to Arkansas. About 10 years later, Leanna married Christopher Columbus Hagar and they resided in Arkansas. They had two children Ann Azalee and Nettie B. Christopher was usually referred to by others as C.C. Christopher had five children by his earlier wife Amanda Jane Richardson. that were in their upper teens to the early twenties when C.C, and Leanna were married. Does this story sound familiar to anyone? I am trying to trace my ggrandmother's {Leanna} family. My grandmother told me her mother was Cherokee but I have never been able to find any information on Josiah Patterson Blair or Nancy Ann McClain. Thank you and be blessed Pam
