and one gang came to the Bohannon homestead. They asked to see the men of the house. The
women directed them to a cabin were the men were. Their directions sent the bushwackers
the long way to the cabin. While the bushwackers were taking the long route to the cabin,
Frances and Margaret R. (William Jr.'s wife and sister) ran to the cabin via the shortcut.
They told the men that the bushwackers were coming. The bushwackers rode up near the cabin;
after looking the situation over, they decided they didn't want any part of the Bohannons
and rode away.

Civil War times brought many hardships. The lack of salt in the Confederate communities
was one of the problems. The North had plenty of salt, but would not let the South have
any. William Jr. was in the Confederate Army. After sometime in the Army and seeing the
turn of events against the South, he joined the Union Army. His wife, Frances, drove
a wagon and team to Lebanon to get a barrel of salt. When she returned home, she shared
the salt with her Confederate neighbors.
The Bohannons were not a people to triffle with. The bushwackers were active in the area,
and one gang came to the Bohannon homestead. They asked to see the men of the house. The
women directed them to a cabin were the men were. Their directions sent the bushwackers
the long way to the cabin. While the bushwackers were taking the long route to the cabin,
Frances and Margaret R. (William Jr.'s wife and sister) ran to the cabin via the shortcut.
They told the men that the bushwackers were coming. The bushwackers rode up near the cabin;
after looking the situation over, they decided they didn't want any part of the Bohannons
and rode away.
The Bohannon name is spelled many ways. William Sr. spelled his last name Bohannon, while
William Jr. spelled his last name Bohannan.
Elijah Bohannon (born 1812) was William Sr., brother. There were other Bohannons living
in Laclede County that were probably related to William Sr. They were Rebecca (Bohannon)
(McBride) Hickman, John and Lewis Bohannon.
Margaret R. O'dell Bohannon and her sister Rachel O'Dell Bohannon were married to brothers, William Sr. and Elijah Bohannon.

MARRIAGE RECORDS:Laclede County, MO Marriage Records, Book C, Page 7327 May 1874 William Bohannon to Mary Ann Balenger, at Osage Township
Margaret R Bohannon is mentioned in her brother, Enoch Bohannon family records as born Feb 18 1847 and died April 10 1874 at 27 yo., some family records say she died Nov 9 1873.Margaret Odle Bohannon was born in 1806 and probably died Nov 9 1873. Some family records state she died in April 10,1874, so William must have married Mary Ann Ballinger 6 weeks after the death of his wife, Margaret Odle Bohannon??. This is doubtful to this writer.
