    Research Notes:
    John B. is shown in some trees as son of Daniel and Nancy Sprague. Study of the census records show Daniel had a son Jonathan born the same year (1857) and living in Shilo, Union Co, Kentucky. Daniel shows a son Jonathan in 1860 and 1870, both Union County.

    However, in 1870 in Ohio Co, Kentucky there is a John B., same age, who is shown to be son of John Knight Oglesby. On the other hand; John B. not shown in John K's family in 1860, but neither was a daughter Rachel F. Some records show John B. to be born in Ohio Co and show him to be son of John Knight (there's also a record showing John Knight Oglesby's middle name as Robert. - owner: Delbert37 http://trees.ancestry.ca/tree/25613243/person/1680603817)

    Subject: Update--date of death for John B. Oglesby

    Regarding John B. Oglesgy, I've just been on the phone with the West Lawn Cemetery in Henryetta, Okmulgee county, Oklahoma regarding the possible grave site of John B. and have found that he is indeed buried next to Lena, but without a headstone. He died on the 30th of July in 1925.

    The woman I spoke with at the library was very helpful and states there are three other Oglesbys in West Lawn:

    Dorothy, Melody and William. I didn't ask her where their graves were located and when they died as I felt she was more than helpful with the original information I requested, and I don't have those names in my genealogy research except for William, and I know he's buried in McAlester with his wife, Sarah.

    John married Lena Leota Eaman (Emmons) in 1889 in Oklahoma. Lena was born on 7 May 1867 in Kentucky; died on 5 Nov 1915 in Henry, Okmulgee Co, Oklahoma; was buried in West Lawn Cem, Henryetta, Okmulgee Co, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 7.  Lena Leota Eaman (Emmons) was born on 7 May 1867 in Kentucky; died on 5 Nov 1915 in Henry, Okmulgee Co, Oklahoma; was buried in West Lawn Cem, Henryetta, Okmulgee Co, Oklahoma.
