She was an Indian woman and went >by the name Columbia Ann Henegar. John Abraham Fox "married" her in >1883/1884 in Tishomingo or Stonewall (then Chickasaw Nation, IT). She was >13 years old. John worked at Byrd and Perry's store in the late 1880s. I >believe he bounced back and forth between the stores in Tishomingo and >Stonewall. Columbia was a full blood Cherokee and was forced to give up her >Indian name. No one in my family was ever told her real name. She chose a >name from the customers who came into the store. The surname is the same as >the merchant-grocer of that store on the 1900 Chickasaw Nation, IT Census. >I believe that she chose that as her surname possibly for the whole family. >Evidence indicates that they could not be blood related. I have found that >she had at least two brothers, Jay and Wash (maybe Vash couldn't read the >census takers handwriting very well) Henegar who were living with John and >Columbia during the 1900 census.On her death certificate, her father's name >was listed as Will Henegar.
