I'm researching the Kingkade/Kinkead name. Ephraim Kingkade married
Francis Luster. Francis died on March 10, 1925 in Independence Co.,
AR. On the 1920 Census she was listed as a Widow living on
Ruddle Twp., Independence Co., AR. I'd like to find a copy of her
obituary
if possible. Thank you.

I was looking through the 1830 census info you have listed for Independence
Co., and was interested to see if you had any information on John M. Owen (my
great-great grandfather). The information I have says that he was orphaned
and was raised by Col. Morgan Magness. I can't seem to find out who his
"real" parents are, despite the fact that they probably lived in the
same
area. Here's John's info in case it rings a bell with you:
John M. Owen
Born: March 25, 1836 (Big Bottom Township, AR)
Married:
(1) Nancy Wiley m: 10/23/1856 [son: Morgan Magness Owen; b: 10/6/1857; d:
11/1857]
(2) Martha Jane Martin m: 10/7/1858 [son: William Moore; b: 10/30/1861; d:
02/1862]
(3) Margaret Francis Crow m: 12/24/1868 [five children: Alfred; Edward;
Thomas; Eunice; and Mabel]
Died: 03/22/1884
Any information you might have about John M. Owen, his relationship with the
Magness family, or his birth family would be much appreciated... Thanks! --

Hi Liz,
That information sounds about right because my great-great grandfather would
have been 4 years old in 1840. Strange that I can't seem to find out anything
about the other members of that family.
My family never left
1884 (he was a Confederate soldier and apparently lost his health in the war)
and my great-great grandmother Maggie (Margaret Crow) Owen lived in that area
until she died in 1928. Their daughter Mabel married Culbert Lee Pearce, who
is also from that area (and is my great grandfather).
I'll check out the information you passed along (now that I can't seem to
find anything, I'm more interested than ever!). Please let me know if your
father remembers anything that you think might be important... Thanks SO much
for your help! -- Holly

The 1853 GLO survey notes that
I have call for a monument erected
to the memory of Capt.
Porters. this monument is located near the
north 1/4 corner of Section

north side of batesville about
1 mile west of
trying to find out any
information that I can about this Capt. Porters
monument. We have found a hand
chiseled - 2' x 6' stone slab flush

and the monument erected in
his memory.

Hi Liz. My daughter is named Lizz too only she spells it with 2
Z's. I
see you sort of oversee the Independence Co,
might help me in my quests. My line is REEVES, nearly all of whom were
born and raised in that area, from early 1800's through 1920 or so. I
have
done alright so far on my genealogy except for one person, Mellie Reeves.
She is my GGM, born in 1850 near
Reeves, my GGF, also born near
over around Hickory Flat,
information about Mellie anywhere. I have her birth, a membership in a
church, their location per the 1900 census, but nothing else. I
especially
want to get her maiden name but no luck so far. I think it is REDDON,
REDEN,
Reeves in the Olive Branch cemetery but no proof that it is her, since I
have found a number of Millie Reeves's in my search. Would you have any
thing on this? Thanks for your time. Regards. Paul

Dear Liz,
I am trying to clear up a genealogy question and hope you may have the answer! Mary E. Boyce Shirley didn't die until 1924. Do you know where she was living, or with whom she was living in later life?
My real question is this. . . . . . . .On the 1880 census there is only one child between Daniel and Laura. That female child is listed as Armand or Amanda D. Shirley, age 3. That would make her born ca 1877. There is no Drew on there!!!! Could Amanda or Armand D. be Armand or Amanda Drusilla "Drew" Shirley????
