My name is Ken Oliver and I am originally from Booneville, Logan County, Arkansas, where my parents still live.
My mother is Mayrene Cauthron Oliver, a great great granddaughter of Colonel Walter Cauthron and his wife, Bashaway or Bashua Wilson.
My mother's father was Oscar Leo Cauthron, who lived almost all of his live in and around Booneville and lived to be almost 108 years old.
He was the historian in his family and that has been passed to me.
We know that Walter Cauthron was the son of Claiborne Cawthon (different spelling then) and Joannah or Hannah Walters. Claiborne Cawthon died about 1818 in St. Clair, Illinois and we do not know when Joannah (Walters) Cawthon died.
I have an extensive amount of genealogy on the children of Walter and Bashaway (Wilson) Cauthron. I look forward to hearing from you when you get a chance.
Best regards,
