He died 9 Nov. 1910 near Atoka, OK. His first marriage was to Sarah E. Stewart, born 1843, died 20 May 1885 Miller Co. AR. They had several children, one of which is Laura Mitchell Johnson, who you mentioned in your post. Henry's second wife was Sarah Clementine Alexander. Her mother, Nancy Stevens Alexander was born 1832, SC. so it would be incorrect to believe that Sarah came to OK or AR in the 1830's on the Trail of Tears. I know of only Grover Cleveland, Daisy, and Virgie Polly as children of Henry and 2nd wife. Your post about Viola is news to me, but having mentioned his daughter, Laura, certainly gives credence to your post. I do not know anything about Lou or Viola. What is the birthdate of Viola? Henry and Sarah Stewart (1st wife) moved to Miller Co. AR in 1882. Prior to that they were in Douglas Co. GA. He was sheriff of Douglas Co during the Reconstruction Era following th! e Civil War. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Katherine
