The 52 ancestors in 52 weeks prompt was Digging Deeper. This part of Amy Crow Johnson's writing about 52 ancestors in 52 weeks.
I keep circling back to Oklahoma and specifically Oklahoma politics. I found another connection to Oklahoma politician. See my previous post on Joseph Colburn Pringey. I found a mention in my 4th great grandmothers Find a Grave blurb that James Mountain Inhofe, US Senator and Congressman, was related to her. This got me curious. I decided to see if I could connect myself to the former senator.
Abigail Appolonia Rhoads Pringey was born November 29, 1776, and died February 12, 1866. (find a grave) Abigail married John Pringey. They resided in Somerset County Pennsylvania for their entire lives. Abigail is my 4th Great Grandmother on my maternal side.
I made a chart. It is very homemade. Below is how I think I am related to James "Jim" Inhofe.
If I am related it is very distantly - James "Jim" Mountain Inhofe is possibly my 4th cousin. Jame's parents were Perry Dyson Inhofe and Blanche Mountain. I am related to him through his mother's maternal side.
Jim is a very successful politician that retired this year. Below are some of the positions that he has held.
Oklahoma House of Representatives
Oklahoma Senate
Mayro of Tulsa
US House of Representatives
