Nathan Prince and Hillsman King
I am looking for Nathan and Elizabeth Prince who are 70 and 62 on the 1880
Independence Co., AR census. They are from Franklin Co, TN. On the 1880 census
living with them is Hillsman King aged 21 who is their grandson. I am looking
for the children of Nathan Prince and especially the parents of Hillsman King
and most especially who Hillsman's father was. Hillsman was also living with Nathan
Prince in 1870 in Independence Co, AR. Does anyone have the 1860 Independence
Co, AR to see if Hillsman King can be found living with his parents aged about
1 year old? Does anyone have access to Independence Co, AR marriages to look
for a marriage between a Prince woman and a King man? I would suspect the
marriage took place about 1857/58. Thank you for any help you may give.

I am looking for William Smart born 1850. He was married to Martha Cordelia
Lassiter, born 1858. So far I find them on 3 census for Independence Co. 1880,
1900 and 1920. Possibly 1910 too. They had 14 children that I know of. I do not
have all of the names. The names that I do have are as follows: Minnie, born
1876, Clementine, born 1878, Bertie Belle, born in 1881, John Henry, born 1883,
Claude, born 1884, Margaret Ellen, born 1888, Blythe, born 1897, Louestella,
born 1898, and Georgia, born 1903. So there are 5 children that I do not have
names for...if someone can fill in those blanks that would be great! Also I am
trying to find out where William Smart came from, who is parents are and any
siblings he may have had. I have not been able to find a marriage certificate
for William and Martha nor have I been able to find out exactly when they died
or where they are buried. I don't know where their dead children are buried
either (other than the ones that lived to old age). I am told that we have
Native American blood...Cherokee as far as I know. I am not sure exactly how it
comes in but only that it is there. I know it comes through the Lassiter side
somewhere along the way but it is possible that it comes through the Smart side
as well. The townships that these folks show up in are White River Township
1900, Craig Township, 1920 census, Greenbriar Township, I think that is where
they were on the 1880 census. If my memory serves me correctly I think one of
my relatives has them showing up in 1910 in White River as well. I am not sure
where exactly Craig Township is since it is not on my township map. I suspect
it got pulled into another township eventually and is no more... Any
information would be much appreciated and I am willing to share any and all
info with folks as well.

and Virginia Eliza Nesbitt (b 4/1/1849 Indep.Co. AR d 1/24/1937) Haddock. I
know they were living in Independence Co. Arkansas as all their children were
born there: Margaret AV, Cordelia Caroline, Virginia E, Elizabeth E
"Lizzie," Tommie Ann, Ruth L, William David, Kathryn
"Katie," Nesbitt...all Haddock children of course. Virginia and
Calvin were married 12/30/1866 in Independence Co. Arkansas - Gainsboro
Township. I know that Calvin was in the Civil War as he made application for
his confederate pension in 7/23/1925. He was in E company under Jim Fetzer,
45th Cavalry, Col. Baber. He was later transferred to McRea's Brigade, Fagans
Division some time in 1864 in ARK & MO. They must have moved from
Independence Co. AR to TX in or around 1901 as on the application for
Confederate Pension he says he has lived in TX 24 yrs. Calvin's first wife
would have been: Sarah Bunch Wilson What I am trying to find out is: If anyone
can tell me what the "C" in Calvin's middle name stood for. Virginia
Eliza - who were her parents? I do know from Census records her father came
from Texas and her mother from North Carolina and that they obviously came to
Independence Co. Arkansas if she was born there but I do not know their names.
I know she had a brother living with her and Calvin - on the census report it
states a Thomas Nesbitt -21- brother in law was living in the household. Any
help would be appreciated and information someone might have that I don't
mention would be very appreciated. Pam (Arrington - Haddock - maiden name) Webb

BROWN surname. I am researching the family of Ebenezer Brown with a last known
residence of Fairview, Arkansas. Ebenezer (b. 1807, d. 1872) migrated from
Stewart County, Tennessee about 1849 to Independence county with his wife,
Susan (b, 1897 KY, d. bef 1830) and their children Thomas G., Marcus J.,
Margaret, James A.J., Elizabeth, William Franklin, Sarah T., George M.D.,
Martha V., and Emila. All children were born in Tennessee. After arriving in
Arkansas, wife Susan, died and Ebenezer married Nancy Morrow in 1857. They had
one child, Nicholas L. Brown (b. 1859). Second wife, Nancy, died and Ebenezer
married for a third time to Sarah Maria (Wilson) Roe. They had three children,
Thomas Allison, Etna S., and Julius Brown. I am trying to connect the above
family to another Brown family out of Jackson County. Would be happy to
exchange information with anyone researching this family.

THOMAS E. CARTER (b. 23 Oct 1824), BENJAMIN, ISAAC, and MORGAN MAGNESS, and W.
T. NESBIT (b.28 May 1860), that were listed in Goodspeed's History of
Independence County. I have more information to add to W. T. Nesbit's bio -
such as him being president of the Sulphur Rock R.R. Co. (one mile long and
horse drawn), and accomplishments after moving from Independence Co. to
Fayetteville, AK in 1896 and retiring to San Antonio TX in 1915. He also had a
second child - my mother, ZOIE PAULINE NESBIT (b. 16 Jan 1890) who married my
father JAMES FRENCH STROTHER. I also have a velvet-covered family photo album
dating from the 1890's. I can identify pictures of THOMAS EDWARD CARTER and his
wife, NANCY ANN MAGNESS; W. T. NESBIT and his wife, MOLLY D. MAGNESS; my mother
ZOIE PAULINE NESBIT; and my uncle WILLIAM EDWARD NESBIT. Unfortunately, there
are ten or more people that are not identified ("Oh, why didn't someone
let me know who these people were?") There are some other names and people
I remember meeting and hearing about growing up in the 1930's. They are probably
spouses, cousins, etc. of these families: MRS. W. F. BUCK, Anaheim CA; CAL
HADDOCK, Mineral Wells TX; MRS. J. B. WRIGHT, Batesville AK (clothing store);
MRS. W. Y. GIBBES, Scotsdale AZ; MRS. FRED MINOR, Denton TX; ALICE POND,

Hello, I need help in finding more information about William G. McElroy b. l876
in Ar. who married Letitia J. Kent in Batesville in December l897.He also had a
brother Levi McElroy who married Hattie Newman in Batesville in l909 or l9l0.
Both familys lived in Ind.Co. until about l9l9 or l920 when they moved to West
Texas. We believe they may have lived in several areas of Independence county
but not sure exactly where. I have learned that in l9l8 Wm.G. McElroy family
were in Cushman, Independence county, Arkansas. According to family members
they also lived in Batesville l900 time frame and the Kent family (Letitia J.
Kent McElroy's parents) lived in Izard county in l880. Letitia's mother was
Elizabeth Ham married to J.A.Kent. Elizabeth Ham's parents were John W. and
Emily Davidson Ham and the Ham's are on the l870 and l880 Ind.Co.Ar. census in
the Gainsboro township. Siblings of Elizabaeth Ham Kent all together in l880 as
the parents apparently were already dead by that time. The Kent family moved to
Ind.Co. Ar. between l870 and l872 time frame and many are buried in the Liberty
and Lee's Chapel cemeteries. The Nelson family we have little info. on but
Emily Nelson McElroy was the mother of our William G. McElroy and family info.
has it that she had a sister named Frances"Fannie" and one named
Missouri. I have found Fannie to be married to W.F.Tidwell living in Gainsboro
township l880 census and there are Harris living there as well. Believe these
Nelson/Tidwell/ and Harris familys were from Alabama possibly Clay county,
Al.area. William G. McElroy and brother Levi's father was Licurgus McElroy who
was b. in St. Francis County to parents John McElroy and Mary Stevenson
McElroy. He was born in l85l died in l885 and Emily Nelson was born either Ga.
or Al. abt. l853 and died Ar. in l882 . Their two sons, Wm.G. and Levi were
raised by someone else, possibly a lady named Julia Harrison? My husband's
father was born in January l899 in Batesville to Wm.G. McElroy and Letitia J.
Kent McElroy. Any information on any of the above familys would greatly be
appreciated as we are trying to learn more about where they all lived . Some
other surnames from the St.Francis and Cross county areas are Holt, Tyer,
Wigley that are connected to our McElroy family thru marriage from the l850 to
l900 time frame. Thanks for reading this lengthy message and hope to hear from
someone with any kind of information about any of the above mentioned people.
You can email me direct as I do not always check queries on a regular basis.

I am trying to find the parents of my great grandfather - Edward Benjamin

was Shown. I have Edward's and Lucy Pullam's marriage certificate from 1889.
They lived at Paroquet and crossed the river to Jacksonport to get their
license, so it is a Jackson County license. 1889 is the earliest that I have,
although in the county tax index there is an Edward Shown and a Ben Shown
listed in 1883. No census record in 1880 for any Shown but I believe they were
there. I'm hoping to him to Peter Shown and Sarah Lashbrook Shown, who moved
from Kentucky to Independence County in the mid-1800's. Any help would be
appreciated. Edward and his wife Lena (5th wife) are buried in Blue Springs

(1778-????), daughter of BENJAMIN POWELL and ELIZABETH ROBINSON of Richmond
County, NC and later Robertson County, TN. NATHANIEL BOSTICK and his wife
immigrated with her relatives to Robertson County, TN in the early 1800s. He
was living there as late 1818. My last record of him is that he appeared in the
