Martha Jane ------ c1845 Sevier County, TN Martha Jane Bohannon b. 1832 d. m.It has been considered that Henry Bohannon (1760-1842) of Sevier County, Tennessee, was Henry Bohannon III. He married (1) Amelia (Amillia) Shotwell in Virginia and moved to Sevier County, Tennessee, during the period 1795-1805, where he settled in the area of Middle Creek and Pigeon Forge, a few miles from Seviersville. He married (2) Rachel ------ and died there about 1842. In November 1817 the Forks of Little Pigeon Church met with some people from White Oak Flats and agreed to hold a meeting for receiving new members at "Henry Bohanon's place" in White Oak Flats, which is near Gatlinburg. In December 1817, when the White Oak Flats Baptist Church was formed as an arm of Little Pigeon Church in Seviersville, Amelia Bohannon (Amillia Bohanon), wife of Henry, was listed as a charter member. Family records spell the name Bohanon.
Although proof has not been found, generational chronology and the use of the name, Susannah, for his first daughter, suggests that Henry Bohannon who married Amelia Shotwell was the son of Henry Bohannon and Susanna Fretwell. The fact that Alexander Bohannon also moved to Sevier County supports that probability.
