Since I posted my last message on this forum, I found out more info on the parents of my Great Grandfather, Dawson "Luther Dawson 'Doss'" Lynch. Their names were Thomas "Tom" and Amanda Elizabeth (Sugg/s) Lynch. Amanda Elizabeth Sugg/s Lynch was born in June, 1853 in Carroll County, Arkansas.
Thanks to "Ann", an accomplished genealogist who posts on this forum, I have been able to discover an incredible amount of information in just the last week!
1. Parents of Amanda Elizabeth Sugg/s Lynch:
Their names were George B. and Martha Jane Sugg/s. George B. Sugg/s owned property in Carroll County, Arkansas in the 1840s and 1850s (per land records). I would like to know Martha Jane's maiden name and about her family. Also, there were several George Sugg/s living in Arkansas, Tennessee, during that time, born about the the same time as George B. Sugg/s, father of Amanda. My George B. Sugg/s was born in 1827 in Tennessee (Tennessee was the birthplace of several of the George Sugg/s! And, there was even a George Suggs married to a Martha Reynolds at that time!)
2. Census Records:
I have found census records for Amanda Elizabeth Sugg/s Lynch for the following years: 1860 (Carroll County, Arkansas), 1870 (Carroll County, Arkansas), 1880 (Red River County, Texas), 1900 (Township 6, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory). I would like to know where she was in 1910, 1920, 1930, etc.
3. Marriages:
Amanda Elizabeth Sugg/s was married three times.
1) On 28 Sep 18 1875 she married George W. Cooper in Red River County, Texas. They had two daughters, Kettie (b. 1877, TX) and Retta V. (b. 1878, TX, who later married William Henry Kilmer). (Marriage date according to the Texas Marriage Collection).
2) Sometime before 1886 Amanda Suggs Cooper married Tom Lynch (here's where my line came to be!). She had (at least) these children with Tom Lynch: Dawson (b. 1886 TX), John Henry (b. 1888 Bonham, Fannin County, TX), Katie M. (b. 1889 Fannin County, TX, who later married Walter Kilmer, William Kilmer's brother), and Mary Ellen "Dink" Lynch (b. 1894, Fannin County, TX, who later married William Floyd Scott).
3) And, according to the Choctaw Card #3618 File (found on www.footnote.com ), Amanda Elizabeth Suggs Cooper Lynch married Daniel Payton, "full blooded Choctaw", on 9 May 1900 in Bokchito, Indian Territory. Amanda was enrolled as a citizen by intermarriage of the Choctaw Nation in 1905. Amanda was Daniel's tenth wife. At the time of her marriage, only Mary Ellen "Dink" and Katie Lynch were still at home with her.
I would like to know about Tom Lynch, where he was from and when he died, where he is buried, and who his parents and siblings were. Most census records of his children stated that he was born in Texas. My family has passed on an oral tradition that our clan came to Texas from Virginia, via Arkansas.
I would like to know when and where Amanda Elizabeth Sugg/s Cooper Lynch Payton died and where she is buried. I would like to know where in Provence she lived and where she lived when Tom Lynch died.
4. Property:
As an enrolled intermarried citizen of the Choctaw tribe, Amanda chose an allotment of property in the Provence area, east of Ardmore. Her son, John Henry Lynch, is buried in Provence Cemetery, as are other Lynch relatives. Dawson was living in Provence when he married Winifred E. "Belle" Barker in 1905.
(Dawson "Luther Dawson 'Doss'" Lynch was my Great Grandfather.)
Any and all help will be appreciated. I will be happy to share with you what I know about allied families.
Blessings on your searches!
