Elvira Bowen born 1854

Classification: Query
Looking for any information on Elvira Bowen - my gggrandmother. She married Marion Pinegar in Illinois and is supposed to be Cherokee - daughter of a chief.
I can find no record of her prior to her marriage.
In census records she lists birth places as Illinois and Wisconsin for herself and parents but I can find no trace of them in either place in census records.
Elvira had 5 children - Frank, Retta, Levi, Richard, Millie and Nora Pinegar. Nora was born in 1895 in Indian Territory. THe only other thing I know about Elvira is that she remarried between 1901 and 1910 (presumably after the death of Marion). Her second husband's name was Robert Bootman and in 1910 they are in Arkansas.
Would appreciate any help here. I have a photo of Marion, Elvira and 4 of their children taken in 1880.
Thanks
