-79-NOTES FROM YOUR EDITOR

DEAR MEMBERS AND READERS OF OUR ARKANSAS FAMILY HISTORIAN:

Just how proud can any EDITOR (or anyone else) be of 1500 people I III By the mailing date, which was about February 15th 1980, almost 1300 of our members had already paid their 1980 (or more) Membership fee ... WITHOUT EVEN ONE STATEMENT (or invoice or bill) being senti That is a large statement alone, but when anyone would stop to think, just how much TIME, POSTAGE, ENVELOPES, the Society was helped. When the metal plates are all correct (spelled exactly correct, with the EXACTLY correct address, and zip code) and in the proper zip code spot, in the file cabinet ... then your EDITOR is in business to send your Quarterlies, fast as possible to your mail box.

The special members who need a small reminder, really cause your EDITOR problems .... first there is no time to send reminders ... all the time needs to be spent, trying to get enough Quarterlies printed for a number (not yet decided ... when the printing must be started ... then the paper, ink, and many other supplies run short, and the excuses the various companies come up-with are some-time unbelieveable. Your EDITOR was formerly a salesperson (and some of those excuses were already ancient when our ancestors were youngl) ANYWAY when the paper is somewhere between the forrest and 4200 "A" Street, all excuses are of no value I Well then, the reminders finally are sent, so we can get in condition to send the June issue (all metal plates need to be in correct order, for the next mailingl) SO each day a few come in the mail, then time out to check the address, and file card, take it from one drawer to another (and place it in the correct order in the current file) and find a Quarterly, and envelope this time and postal stamps, and then a mail boxll I Meantime, we have sure run short again (3rd time now and a reprint is necess­ary again). The Multilith machines are great, and wonderful, but they will only print one thing at a time I So whether ·the reprint comes first or the new Quarterly comes first I So to those who do pay before the 1st of the year are very important members in many ways.

Now on the 8th of May 1980 almost 1500 plates are in the correct order, and only enough paper for 1000 to be printed, which have been done ... and the paper truck is fooling around againl and your EDITOR is leaving on the "SONG OF NORWAY" Ship, Saturday (with a two way ticket) so maybe everything will get squared away by the 18th of May.

Try to remember WHEN YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO MOVE I I I Let us know firstl We will hold your Quarterly until you know your correct address! Postage is terrible (and return postage is terrible terrible).

REMEMBER ALSO - do not even expect you Quarterlies until after the 15th of MARCH, 15th of JUNE, l)th of SEPTEMBER, 'and' 31st of DECEMBER. Our index for the entire year is always included in the December issue and therefore takes a bit of doing to get that indexed and then typed). But you can pay your lY8l Membership anytime (never to early to renew ... REMEMBER $9. now and we never know when we will need to increase ... postage increase, paper. ink & many other supplies never stay the same),

20 May 198011! I! I There is sure not enough time or paper to tell all of .you WHAT A GREAT

TRIP your Editor has just returned from ..... She along with 35 others from Little Rock, Arkansas (traveled together). This made a total of 1063 paid guests and over 400 staff members on this large ship. There was not one thing left undone. which could have possibly made our trip more enjoyable. We all returned with thoughts of how we could spare another 8 days and gather about $1200 dollars ... may not be as hard to decide this next timell! You will need to make a beautiful trip like that'to ever understand. You already know how your Editor tries to get enough ~alue from a dollar ... this time there were no complaints I I!

Back to EARTH and our Arkansas Family Historian! Enough paper is now on hand to print our other 500 issues and our favorite printer is hard at work. By the time the covers are all addressed, he will have the additional issues well under way. Be very thankful when you do receive your Quarterly, as it has been a chore this time. Share your copy with others, but be sure it is returned to you .. . one copy is $2.50 and there are not many extras, especially with many requesting to become members with each mail.

Once again please do not expect your Editor to answer any mail ... all mail with money (for various publications, etc. are handled soon as possible, and with the heavy load of requests for newmemberships, and other requests (many too many to mention here) time is really something 1 After you have read your Quarterlies (from cover to cover, as many of you keep telling us) you know about as much as your Editorl When volunteer help does come, all that time is spent, trying to assemble material, in preparation for mailingl

BOOK REVIEWS Reviewed by R. W. Dhonau, Director

"COLUMBIA COUNTY, ARKANSAS, 1860 Census", compiled by the Southwest Arkansas Genealogical Society members, Magnolia, AR 71753. This was the first Census for Columbia County.

There is a map of the county with political townships clearly marked as they were in 1860. A surname index is included. Slave inhabitants are list­ed separately. The 1860 Mortality Schedule is also given. This publication is clear to read and is well organized for use as a source of information. This new census is valuable to our library and we appreciate it as a gift. (please order from the above address, $9. prepaid).

"A GENEALOGY OF THE MOUSER ANCESTRY, Including the BEST and other Families" by Lafrona Foshee Mouser - 1978. This gift is from the compiler.

This work begins with·a very scholarly discussion of the Mouser origins in Europe. As far back as 1630 families with various spellings of this name came to America in Massachusetts. Later they came to Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolinas.

The ancestors of this particular family came to the Missouri Territory in 1803 and on to Hempstead county, Arkansas, in 1826. Some went on to Texas. So this volume is about the descendants of George and Phoebe Best Mouser's thirteen children and his brother David and Margaret Best Mouser.

This family history is very well documented and organized. It is full of historical events and the continuity is so even-flowing that my interest was maintained throughout. This hardback book of 528 pages including index, may be obtained for ~25, postpaid, from Mrs .. Ben Mouser, P.O. Box 378, Spode, Texas 79369. Our Society greatly appreciates the don~tion of this book.

"RECORDS OF STEVENS FUNERAL HOME, St. Francis County, Forrest City, Arkansas 72335 (July 19, 1897 - Oct. 27, 1913).

This is a listing of deaths of all persons to whom funeral services were performed by this funeral home, complete with date of death. This is a valuable record which gives needed information. which cannot be replaced for people in unmarked graves or whose marker has been destroyed. It is compiled in a way that makes it easy to read, and has an index. (May be ordered from Kathleen S. Bell, 1250 Chestnut," Forrest City, Arkansas, 72335 - $9. prepaid) We thank Kathleen, for this gift. She· is also a member of our board of directors.

"JOHN ADAM PLESS FAMILY OF POPR COUNTY, AlU<ANSAS" , 1975 - Revised 1980, by Elaine Weir Cia.

This is a very pleasant family history. It is certainly documented as to factual information, but it is told like talking to a friend. By the time I had read three pages I fell in step with the narrative and felt at home with the details as if one of the family.

A brief history of the John Adam Pless Family shows he came from North Carolina to Pope County, Arkansas, in the late 1860's. One or two genera­tions before that Christopher and Hannah Pless came to Pennsylvania from Germany. Of their their three sons, Peter went to North Carolina, Henry is believed to have gone to Montana and Joseph to Illinois.

The story of the family living in Pope County, Arkansas, is inter-laced with receipes, newspaper clippings, pedigree charts, ancestor charts, and family group sheets. Family names most frequently used are, BLACKARD, BROWN, CASEY, HICKEY, JOHNSON, JONES, MALONE, MARTIN, MILLER, MOORE, NIEMEYER, NORDIN, PACK, PETRAY, PITTMAN, SMITH, STEUBER, SUDMEYER, TAYLOR & WHITE. This book may be purchased for $11. prepaid from Mrs. Elaine Weir Cia, 4200 "A" Street, Little Rock, Arkansas 72205.

"THE SMITH-WOMBLE & Related Families - A History" by Letha M. Smith Williams 1977.

This is a collection of very personal information about related families Each begins with an ancestor chart and ends with the person comiling it showing four generations of their family and that of their spouse. Then a detailed family history narrative is accompanied by diplomas, pictures, military records, favorite songs, poetry, prayers, essays, etc.

This is a nice way to save, under the covers of one book, all of the things one holds dear and wants to remember and share with others. Informa­tion may be obtained about it from Letha M. Williams, 310 East 21st St., Big Spring, Texas 79720. Names most prominent are: Bennett, Deere. Franklin. Grissom, Groebl .. Huggins , Horton, Kelley, Thames, Varner, & Williams. Thank, for this donation.

These records date from 1878 to 1929, at which time the naturalization proceedings were put in the hands of the District Courts, rather than the County.

In 1911, the Public Acts of Arkansas No. 353 provided that an enumera­tion or census be made by the tax assessor of each county, of Confed­erate veterans residing in Arkansas. This 2nd volume in the series lists surnames E through Me., in the 44 counties represented in the original questionaires - no records are found for the 31 remaining counties. The 1751 questionaires list the full name of the veteran, his post office address, date and place of birth, date, State and County of enlistment, full name and place of birth of subject's parents grandparents, maiden name of wife, with date and place of marriage, names of her parents, and full list of children, with spouses.

VOLUME I has been in print for some time, and VOLUME II has just been completed.

There will be a VOLUME III, as soon as time will permit. VOLUME III should complete this valuable source information.

This information has been transcribed and edited by Mclane and Glazner, and may be ordered ~rom: ARKANSAS ANCESTORS, 112 Leach Street, Hot Springs, AR 71901

LITTLE ROCK BIRTH AND DEATH ~CORPS ISH - 1903

From R. P. Baker, Archivist, Arkansas History Commission Office, Little Rock, Arkansas, 72201 (One Capitol Mall). The Arkansas History Commission has

recently microfilmed a collection of Little Rock birth and death records which were kept by the old city health department. The death records are on two rolls of microfilm and date from 1871 to 1903. Each volume beginning in ISSI has a more or less complete index. The first volume, which dates from lS71 to IS8l, has recently been indexed by the History Commission staff. The birth records are on one roll of microfilm and date from 18Sl to 1892, plus several months of 1898. No index is available. These records contain vital statistic information for only that area which was contained within the corporate limits of the City of Little Rock at that time. They do not contain information for Pulaski County as a whole. Information on Pulaski County deaths may be obtairted from the Pulaski County Probate Records, a partial index to which is available at the History Commission. EDITOR'S NOTE, These records will need to be researched by you personally

or a researcher (you make your own arrangements with a researcher) list will be sent on request (AGS, 4200 "A" St., Little Rock, AR 72205) Be sure to include S.A.S.E. (Self addressed stamped envelope).

ALEXANDER Mc KINNEY FAMILY BIBLE RECORDS

FROM: Deborah Spraggins Wegrnet, 803 Washington Ave., Jacksonville, Texas 75766. "I recently made a trip to Houston, Texas where I visited with a

lady who has in her possession an old Bible. It has records of .he Alexander McKINNEY Family. Alexander McKINNEY and his wife, Nancy Hill l:·ERGUSON, were both born in Chester County, South Carolina. They moved to Bradley Co., AR (near Warren) with their six children between 1848 and 1851. Their last two children were born in Arkansas. I am enclosing copies of the Bible pages and a typewritten sheet listing the information.

I have been very fortunate to have contacted a lady in Star City, Arkansas Miss Melba Newton, through Arkansas Family Historian. She has given me quite a bit of information on my JOHNSON and ROWELL lines. Perhaps I can help someone else by sending these records. Just for the record, Alexander McKINNEY and Nancy Hill Ferguson were my great. great great grandparents!"

EDITOR'S NOTE: Our many thanks to Deborah Spraggins Wegmet, 803 Washington Ave., Jacksonville, Texas 75766 - Bible records are very hard to find but

when they are found they should be copied and copIed and copiedlill and shared with as many as possible. When they are placed in many Libraries & private files, in many different places, they are much~ore safe, as we do hope not all our records will be destroyed, especially those .shared thru the Arkansas Family Historian {when 1500 copies go allover the world, we think they are safelill

INDEX TO SOURCES FOR ARl(ANSAS CEME"FERY INSCRIPTIONS

This valuable book was published as· one of the several projects during the Bicentennial in 1976.

Although a work such as this is never complete, as additional cemetery inscriptions are continually being listed in various publications, efforts have been made to secure the location of all listIngs, both published and unpublished to that time. Each library, historical association, Extension Home Economist office, and DAR Chapter in the State was contacted for record. in their area. The interest and response of these groups was invaluable.

Copies may be ordered from: Mrs. Johnny Holt, Chairman, Prudence Hall Chapter, NSDAR, 5 Custer Place, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72116 $6. pp

OLD CEMETERY ALABAM, Madison County, Arkansas

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was enumerated by Julia (Grubb) OUtland and Cloe (Grubb) Everett, December 1979. From Julia, "This cemetery is the

Old Alabam Cemetery, located about 5 miles east of Huntsville, Madison Co., Arkansas on highway #68. We have been told that in 1856 there were 5 graves. Three black people who drowned in War Eagle at McMurray Ford (before there was a bridge) another was supposed to have been a Denny lady and one believ­ed to be an infant. John M. Denny and wife Carolyn (Parks) Denney are believed to be buried there - later. There is a new Cemetery across the road from the old one, which is by the Old School House. We plan to enumer-' ate it also. The Old School House is being restored.

C10e and I grew up at A1abam. We are first cousins and have lived within 5 miles of this Old School all out life.

I received som information after I had finished this copy (after W.M. Ray­Cathy Jo Yent - Clarence Joseph Yent and then Dale Eugene Kelley. I had found the 2 Yent graves and trie1 several times to read the Mortuary Markers but could not. I just happened to ask a lady about these graves and she gave me a telephone number that proved to be the mother I I was so happy to get the information. II Julia Outland

WARRJ£N Lola H. Jaques. 1020 N. Quincy St .. Aptl 705. Arlington. VA 22201 - I am interested in Edward Allen WARREN. who was a

representative from Arkansas to the thirty-third and thirty-fifth United States Congresses. He was born near Eutaw. Green Co., Alabama, 2 May 1818. Studied law & was admitted to the bar in 1843. He began to practice law in Clinton, Hinds Co., Mississippi, and was a member of the Miss. House of Representatives in 1845-1846. In 1847 he moved to Ark., and settled in Cam­den, where he practiced law. He was also a judge of the circuit court of the Sixth District, Ark. In 1859 resumed his law practice. Edward died in Prescott Co., AR., 2 July 1875 and was interred in the Moscow Cemetery near Prescott, AR. (Biographical Directory of the Am. Congress 1774-1961, Wash-ington: GPO, 1961) .

Edward A. WARREN married Mary E. WARREN, a daughter of Edward & Elizabeth (Dabney) WARREN, in Marshall Co., Miss, 9 October 1838. Marriages in Mar­shall Co., Miss, 1836-1841 in the Miss Dept. of Archives & History. No doubt Edward Allen and Mary E. (WARREN) WARREN were cousins of some degree.

I am interested in learning about any children this couple may have had, as well the date and place of Mary E. WARREN'S death. 1 wish also to know the nameS of Edward's parents, where they were born, where they married, and any brothers or sisters Edward Allen WARREN may have had.

MORGAN Chet Morgan, 1512 Hathaway, Yakima, Washington 98902 - My MILLS grandfather was Alfred MORGAN, b. in Van Buren Co., AR., and

married Nancy Jane MILLS, then disappeared before my father, John Franklin MORGAN was born on 27 September 1854, Van Buren Co., AR near Scotland. Nancy Jane MILLS, b. 1836, Van Buren Co., AR., to Elisha MILLS, b. 1810 in North Carolina & came to Van Buren Co., AR about 1834/35. I have the Elisha MILLS Family of 4 dau. & 5 sons, also many MORGAN Families but nothing on Alfred MORGAN. Rev. Perementer MORGAN, b. 29 Aut. 1755 in Brunswick Co., VA married Gracy JONES, b. 27 Mar. 1855 also in Brunswick Co., VA., and was in Rutherford Co., N.C .. ca 1775 & had a large family. 4 of the sons wed WILKERSON sisters. #6 Jonathan MORGAN, b. 1 Sept. 1788 in Rutherford Co., N.C. married Rebecca WILKERSON; I have part of their family.

#7. Abner MORGAN, b. 18 July 1790 in Rutherford Co., N. C. married Eliza­beth WILKERSON, b. 1792. I have most of their family.

118 Perementer MORGAN, Jr., b. 24 Aug. 1793, Rutherford Co., N.C. married Mary WILKERSON, I have part of their family.

. #10 Elijah MORGAN, b. 26 Feb. 1798, Rutherford Co., N. C., married ~uth Wilkerson, no children mentioned, but Elijah married 2nd to Susie RELL, and they had one son. Perhaps my Alfred came from one of these sons & a WILKER­SON girl. Many of Abner & Elizabeth's children went to Van BUren Co., AR when they were very young, before Abner went in 1846. Their children, Moses b. 1812 in Rutherford Co., N.C. married Martha LEDBETTER, went 1st to Georgia about 1875 was in Van Buren Co., AR.; Rebecca, b. 12 May 1815 married Daniel Koan in N.C. and went to Van Buren Co., AR., 1839; Annie b., 1820 in McDowell Co., N.C. married James L.

Most of my data has come from Queries, as I am not physically able to travel. I would be glad ·to pay anyone to do some research for me, either in Arkansas or North Carolina on the MORGAN & MILLS lines & refund postage. I am sure my ancestors came from North Carolina to Arkansas. Also I think Captain Abner MORGAN & my grandfather Alfred MORGAN were 1st cousins, but need proof. I am sure about Nancy Jane MILLS, for I saw her youngest sister in 1929 & over the years, the notes I had were lost, so I began again from scratch. Nancy Jane's sister was Nettie A. MILLS, b. 20 Dec. 1849 in Van Buren Co., Arkansas & married ... Shipp in 1929 she lived near Formosa, Van Buren Co., AR., with her daughter Almeady SHIPP, who' married Harvey LEDFORD. Can anyone help with any additional information on any of these people, I will appreciate and share with others workinl\ on these lines, and return postage & pay for additional research. An interested genealogical searcher in need of help.

I was born 24 Nov. 1910 in Taney Co., MO have been in Yakima since 1937, retired on a disability 10 years ago, and started my research in the fall of 1977 by going to Van Buren Co., Arkansas, but none of the older people could remember my grandparents so I joined the ARKANSAS FAMILY HISTORtAN and have learned a loti (ARKANSAS FAMILY HISTORIAN is the place to startl It is a wonderful publication.

Janet Irene Atkinson, 18935-65 Kittridge, Reseda, CA 91335 I am interested in any info regarding my great great grand­father, Burwell ATKINSON, b. 1792 in N.C. He went from that state to Summerville and Salisbury, Georgia, and in 1847 to

Morrilton, Conway Co., AR. I have no further info on him. One account says he married a Mary CAPERS, another account claims he married a Miss FARR.

BERGERON HOGGATT not HOGGART

Wanda Joy Ulmer Karrant, Star Rt. Box l8-A, Chester. AR72934 Want to thank all who helped (~r tried to help) with my Query in the 1979 Dec. AFH! From it 'I had one inquiry on the YERBY - (RO(D)GERS surnames that proved to'be a 2nd cousin of my

mother. Was sorry I couldn't connect ~LLS, when Mr. E. H. MAXWELL call­ed long distance, but we can keep each other in mind as we research our MAXWELL surname. One member just wrote asking if I could help her on a couple of her surnames that I wasn't researching and I hope to be able to help her. Could find no connection to a RAY searcher nor the HARTMANN searcher but maybe we can all be of help to each other in the future, who knows. Was really grateful for the response thus far, and all this during the holiday preparations everyone was into! Just think what it might be later on after people recover from the holidays.

A terrific job of indexing surnames being searched, but one of mine was left out of index, BERGERON, my French Huguenots, and on.e surname was mis­spelled in index, HOGGATT not HOGGART though I may find it spelled that way sometimes as a variant speITrng. HOGGATT BIBLE Record is recorded on sepa­rate page. BARR Can anyone help me with descendants of Andrew Washington

. BARR and his wives and possibly sort out which children are by which wife? Andrew was born in June 1823 (what day?) in Elbert Co., GA. He served in Co. B of the 6th Arkansas Infantry as a Private; discharged as being over age. Enlisted in Camden, AR. He died after 1900 census (when?) of Nevada Co., AR and is buried in Mt. Moriah Cemetery there. In 1900 cen­sus his wife was Mary E., born July 1843 and they had been married 22 years, and still had children at home. In 1880 census Nevada Co., would have been same wife and there were step-children in household named LIVINGSTONE as well as a baby that would have been theirs and some children by Andrew's previous wife. My Great grandmother was a daughter of Andrew's and the wife he had at the time Mary Jane BARR was born in June 1853. I cannot find Andrew and family in 1860 & 1870 census but they were in 1850 censuS of Ouachita Co .. Ark. (a parent county of Nevada). In 1850 his wife was Mary J., and they had two sons, one born in Miss., and the youngest born in AR. Believe wife in 1850 and the mother of Mary Jane BARR in 1853 was Mary Jane

-126-

BALLIENT, said to be half-French and half-Indian, born near Oxford, Miss., circa 1823 when it was Chickasaw Indian land but have no proof. Was the widow LIVINGSTONE a CALLICOAT? Where was this family in 1860-70 census? When did wife of 1850 die and where? Did Andrew have still another wife between 1850 and 1878? He was supposedly always in the general Arkansas area after coming to Ark. Had a nephew TUBBS in 1880 household as did a brother, John BARR, have a relative named TUBBS in his 1880 household in Nevada Co. I can find no marriage or other records on BARR in several Sou­thern Arkansas counties, written to for probate, death, or marriage records. I know he owned property for I found some deed records in Archives and dis­tant cousins and my mother know of the "oldll homeplace. This line is frus­trating and I know someone of our Arkansas Family Historian readers may be able to help or direct me to someone who might. I sure need help I

Also wish to point out that not all census information is correct I Either the census taker (enumerator) misunderstands information given or the one giving the information did not know the information, or did not speak clearly for the following was recently discovered in 1900 census of Nevada Co., AR .. in my Grandmother's family:

ROGERS, E1ie as head of household with wife, Mary (This is the Mary Jane BARR of the Query (on page before this one) Children: Mollie; Catherine, Emma, Eva, Lillie - my grandmother (Sarah) was already married and in the next household - of their own.

I had never heard of grandmother having a sister named EVA and asked my mother about thi.. I had already surmised that it should have been a boy named EAGLE for grandmother's only brother had the same birthdate as EVA., My mother verified the fact that grandmother had, indeed, never had a sister named EVA and since the ~irthdate is EAGLE's. either someone's hearing was poor or 90meone's enunciation was poor or misunderstood. EAGLE died in his late teens and I have his obituary and his death date. Incidentally, please note: anyone clipping an obituary from the newspaper should include the date, for most of the old obits I have do not have any date, at all included in the portion that was clipped nor do they have it written in long­hand as pertains to name of newspaper or the date. Most people would not give this a thought, when clipping an obit or any other item but it can prove to be a real stumbling block in the distant future for someone else to only make a guess. I had no help whatsoever from the Nevada County Picayune when requesting obits from them from many years back so still have to sort of guess at some dates on these old obits, and may never have time and opportunity to check this out at Archives (if they have the film of these particular issues).

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Newspaper people, like your Editor and the people at the Courthouses ... there is no time for research ... if todays work is ever to be finishedllllll '

Another thing concerning census. It just all depends on how much "accurate" information one has to give the census taker. For instance ... in 1850 censu's my Andrew BARR was said to have been born in Atlanta (his CSA records shows Elbert County). In 1880 it shows his birthplace Georgia, with his father born South Carolina and mother born Georgia. In 1900 it shows, Andrew was born in GA, but his father was born in Ireland and they didn't know where his mother was born. His brother, John, in 1880 census (or who­ever gave information said John was born in GA., his father, S.C., and yet his mother, S.C. It is possible that John and Andrew could have had differ­ent mothers and one was born in GA and one S.C. for there 'was 7 years diff­erence in their birthdates but I sure would like to know how the father could have been the same and been born in both S.C. and Irelandlll John's mother, Nancy A. was age 79 and a widow living in John's household in 1880 and she said she was born in S.C. and her parents Were both born in Virginia

I really do believe John and Andrew were brothers so it would seem the census information could be wrong in some instances because of human error so to speak.

Also cemetery records can be wron~ or stones in such a poor condition information cannot be read. On, Andrew s stone it gave CSA service as being Company H - 19th Ark. and after I was unable to get anything in records on this I was able to spend a few minutes at Archives in Little Rock once and checked index and found the correct information and then was able to get copy of his military papers which included his discharge, whcih gave correct birthplace info and also gave the bonus of a phYSical description, and veri­fied the birth year.

SMITH NORTHCUT PERKINS

Mrs. Martha Perkins, Rt 2, Box 399, Nacogdoches, TX 75961 Searching for the parents of her orphaned mother, who was May SMITH. May's 78 year? search for her past history is based on what little memory she has of her home life as a 5

year old child. Searching for SMITH clues is difficult, even with known facts May SMITH NORTHCUT believes she is now 78 years old, is an invalid and lives with her daughter, Mrs. PERKINS, who has the Query with her address. We ask our AHF readers to please try to bring a happy ending to this long search.

Hay SMITH was born about 1905, she does not know where, or the exact date. Her earliest recollection is of living in a farmhouse close to an Indian res­ervation and she played with the Indian children. She had a sister, possibly a twin; they were both playing in a wood pile and something bit or stung the sister and she died; some women came out of the house, picked them both up & carried them into the house. May was too young then to remember where it was or the name of the little sister who died. She believes she had older broth­ers, Howard; Ernest; & William, the older sister Lena (or Leona) and still another sister who had 5 children. She does not remember the circumstances of why she knows, but she thinks Lena's husband was a bank employee. She recalls one of her brothers was kicked in the stomach by a pair of young mules and once she was pushed out of an apple tree by a brother and broke her shoulder; a doctor. name not known, came to the house to treat her. May has a mental picture of her father as a big, blue-eyes, red-faced man; and her mother a tall thin, black-headed woman. She herself was tall as a child, blond, blue­eyes and has a large white mole between her eyebrows, and May's three child­ren were all tall. She believes' her father was killed somehow when she was (continued on next page)

(continued) young, or died of asthma. The family was together, camped in wagon yard, in Little Rock, Arkansas. When?

The orphanage added "Agnes" to her name, so she has used the name Agnes May SMITH. on whatever documents there may have been since 1918. This added name may have confused anyone searching for her. She thinks her mother may have been Mary COOK or Mary COX and that her father may have been John SMITH.

INFORMATION TO BE SHARED

EDITOR'S NOTE, The following was contributed by Mrs. Inez Mae Weldon, Rt. 1 Box 554, Alma, AR 72921.

My great great grandfather, Frederick LINCKS, was born 1795 in Baden­Baden, Germany, raised in Alsase-Loraine France-Germany bornder area. He was a rather wild and eventurous young man from a wealthy German family.

Young Frederick served in Napoleon Bonapart's Army, when about 15 years of age. How he came from Germany to Clay Co., Kentucky was without a doubt one of that area's more colorful early pioneers. In Clay Co., KY, he marr­ied four times, fathered seventeen children and died at the venerable old age of ninty two (92). This can be read in the following item from the Diary of the Reverend John Gay Dickey, as told to him by his illl) child, Robert LINCKS, 28 June 1898, who lived at the town of Lynx, Laurel Co., KY.

In 1898 Robert was quoted as saying' "My father was Frederick LINCKS. He was born 1795 in Germany. Before he reached his majority he ran from home and joined the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was a wild boy. I have seen his body, it was all covered with scars, showing that he had many conflicts in his young days.

His father was a great friend of Napoleon and though this intimacy he got his son released. He then sent him to Amsterdam to school. After the close of the term $80. was necessary to pay board and tuition. His father sent him the money to pay the bill, but he took the money and paid his pass­age to America. Eighty other students did the same. The ship was anchored about a mile from the shore. The boys were taken out in a scooner, several' trips. being necessary. The ship lost her course and many died of over-eating when a friendly ship found them. Many were lost by sickness. His time with Napoleon was 7 or 9 months, the voyage was 9 months. When they landed in America, the ship's captain sold them for their passage, denying that they had paid him. James Garrard, Govenor, bought him. He did not know how to talk English. He learned somehow, that he was a slave and he made his case known to a lawyer, who could talk German. He looked in his trunk and found his free papers. He was about to leave the Governor, but he hired for a year when David Garrand brought him to Clay County, KY., to oversee negroes at the salt works. He promised the Governor to return, but he never did. He worked for the Garrards, whom he greatly loved.

He married 1st to Nancy Hays, 11 November 1820, and they had 2 children, Eliza, who married a Parker);and Nancy who married ,"Smiling" David Benge, son of John and Philedelphia Benge. He then married 2nd to Mary "Polly" Cornett, 25 November 1822 (daughter of old Robert "Robin" Cornett of Benge, KY. They had 9 children, John who married Susannah Stivers, 10 Janauary 1848; Susan who married a Stivers;_ Margaret who married Green Parker; Lottie who married to Phil Wilson; Lucinda married to Lee Chestnut; Patsy married to Preacher Hiram· Johnson; 9 Selpa married to Charles Parsley; Robert married to Eliza Chestnut; and James married Jane Bailey.

His third marriage was to Louisa Robinson and they had 3 children, Susan; Hiram; and Thomas.

His fourth marriage was to a widow by the name of Black (nee Patsy Young) and they were the parents of, Frederick; Henry; and Germany Frances, (the last was a daughter). Henry married to Molly Houston of Benge & he died at Benge, Kentucky in 1887. at the age of 92 years .. He had at that time 113 descendants. My father was soon lost from his countrymen, who came over with him and never saw or heard from any of them. nor did his father ev-.r know anything of them. . -

Jess Wilson, of McKee, KY wrote a feature story in an issues called "It Happened Here" said, "To the above information, he could add the fo11ow­inl\'

Frederick Lincks, couid have served in Napoleon's Army. Frederick was nine years old when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France in 1814. He

FREDERICK LINCKS (Con't page 2)

went on to conquer most of Europe by 1814 when he was first eciled. By this time Frederick was 19 years old and probably already in America.

James Garrand was governor of Knetucky, two terms 1796 to 1804. He lived in Bourbon County and his son Daniel came to Clay County, Ky before 1810. The 1810 Census of Clay Co., KY shows him owning 21 slaves at that time. Frederick Lincks is buried in the Lincks cemetery in Clay Co., Ky.

My linage is from Frederick Lincks' marriage to Mary Cornett. daughter of Robert "Robin" Cornett, born. 11 Jan. 1780 and died 11 Nov. 1862, married Charlotte Callahan, born 4 July 1778, died 7 May 1864. His brother married Zekoha Callahan. The Callahan girls were sisters and· their brother Isaac Callahan married 10 July 1810 to Mahala Wilson, a sister to Jess Wilson's great great grandfather, John Wilson. Other information was gleaned from Clay Co., Ky., Census of 1850; & compiled by the late James F. Bowman of Travelers Rest and marriages in Clay Co:, Ky., 1807 to 1853, Compiled by Anna Walker Burns. The different spellings of the same Lincks, include: Links; Lynks; Linds; or Linckes in the same era may be contributed. to the national­ity of the ~ounty clerks and census takers.

My great grandmother was Margaret, the daughter of Frederick and Mary "Polly" Cornett Lincks & was born in 1824. She married to Green Parker, 17 May 1845. 1850 Census shows they had one son, age 4. My grandfather Frederick Parker, according to Family Records, Green Parker, deserted Margaret and her father had to support them so she changed his name to Frederick Lincks.

My grandfarher Frederick Lincks, son of Margaret was born 13 Feb. 1846. Enlisted ·in the Civil War, 4 Nov. 1863 (Co. B-7, KY .. Co 2-118 Pa .. Co., H 9lst Pa. Lived in Ky., and So. Easton, Pa., prior to enlistment.

•

-145-(Continued from page 144) William and Susannah established their home in Scott Co., AR where he quali­fied for the medical profession and practiced for several years. He also became a minister in the Methodist Church. Later William continued preaching as a Baptist minister. The muster rolls for Confederate Civil War veterans found in the National Archives, file 191, show that he enlisted 27 January 1863 at Izard, as a private in Newton's Calvalry Regiment. Later one of his sons wrote that "he served as a Chaplain and Surgeon from the outbreak of hostilities until the close."

Prior to the War the Federal Census for 1860 locates William, age 24 and Susannah, age 23 along with daughter: Josephine, age 2, in Fulton Co., AR., near Wild Cherry. Their farm was in Bennet's Bayou Township and was valued at $130.00. In 1881, William and Susannah moved to Wright Co., MO. I have gone into detail about William, because I have so little info on the others. I will appreciate any help, on finding the full names and burial place. of William's parents, or any other vital information. Please help.

EDMISTON, b. 2 March 1770 married Mary Ann THOMPSON, b. 16 June 1769, on 21 Nov. 1793. Could this Mary Ann THOMPSON be the Cherokee lady, Annie MARTIN, who married Benjamin Franklin THOMPSON, as on page 310 of History of the Cherokee Indians, by Emmet Starr?

H96 married to James MARRS) and 3) John Thompson EDMISTON (b. 14 May 1799, married to .

EDITOR'S NOTE, Our many thanks to Letha M. Williams for the corrections I That is one of the main reasons. we do not type charts for our members.

tpying-time is so limited. and errors are bad enough, when we make them on our own charts, but to make an error on someone else's chart is some­thing' that can go un-noticed and thus cause years of wasted time and effort. The Index to the Marriage Records is a time-saver also (many will never have the chance to research in the various courthouses I and

every time we share these hard to-get records, weare helping to make genealogy research just a tiny bit more easy for someone I Postage is high. but gasoline is higher I and think of the Motel rates I

-\.50-(Continued ["om page 149) also need info on Avery Alvin Eeds, b. 5 Nov. 1851, died 25 Sept. 1935 and is buried in McGee Cern., Stratford, Garvin Co., Okla. Married 17 Dec. 1874 to Volina T. WATT, b. 10 March 1860, died 1898 near Eufaula, OK. She was the daughter of Samuel W. WATT, b. Feb. 1819, died Jan. 1894 and Martha C. (?) WATT, b. May 1822, died Dec. 1897.
