F572 James Andrew LeForce
James Andrew LeForce was born on 12/26/1859 in Whitley County, KY. He was the son of John Bradley & Amanda Blankenship LeForce. After living in Indiana during the Civil War, the family moved to West Plains, MO.
In 1886 Mr. LeForce came with his family to the Cherokee Nation where, in Sept of 1892, he married Fannie Keys, the daughter of Monroe Calvin & Lucy Hoyt Keys. She was the great granddaughter of George Lowrey, one of the old chiefs of the Cherokees. She was born on 11/5/1863 at Park Hill near Tahlequah, where George Lowrey had brought his family after the removal.
Her family was a well-educated, conservative Cherokee family & her mother especially had a fond hope that her daughters would marry men of the cloth. Because of this there was much opposition to yet another of her daughters marrying one of those "wild LeForce boys". But Fannie did just that.
Mr. LeForce had various business interests, chief among them being real estate. Mr. & Mrs. LeForce had five children. They are as follows: Flossie – 1893 (married Edwin Wollett), James Lowrey – 1895 (married Lois Brittain), Lottie – 1897 (married Arthur P. Ingraham), Rachel – 1900 (died 1912), and Charles William - (married Louana Bacon & Vivian Smith).
Mr. LeForce died on 12/3/1945 in Vinita, & Mrs. LeForce continued to live in the home at 305 S. Brewer, until her death on 5/16/1954.
