I'm looking for information
on America Wilson, who was living with Joseph and Sarah Collard in Ruddell twp,
Independence co, AR, in 1860. Her parents (and older and younger siblings) were
at that time living in Carroll co, AR, so there's a real question
about what was going on!

Hi, my name is Jaynie Wiggins, and I am trying to locate some info on a
place called Buckhorn Tavern in Independence County. I have
found where it says that Buckhorn is now St. James, AR I was
wondering, do you know of any one that might have some info on these two
places? I am looking for a cemetery located at or by the Buckhorn Tavern in
Independence Co. Ar. between the dates of 1861-1870. We are looking for the
burial place of Emelia "Millie" Henderson.. Any help with this would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards,

Hello -- I'm looking for information on my grandmother, Louise
(Louisa) Vaughn Holderby. I was told she was born in or
near Batesville, Arkansas about 1861. She died before I was born
but I was told she was raised by another family. I was always told
she was part Indian. In my research, I have just found her on
the 1870 census living in Batesville, Independence, Arkansas with
Charles and Eunice D. Maxwell. Evidently he was the editor of the
paper. She was 10 years old at the time. She married my
grandfather, John Pool about 1887. They lived in Jonesboro, I
believe and then in Kennett, MO. Any information you could give me
re the Holderbys of Batesville and especially of my grandmother and
her father and mother would be most appreciated. Thank you, Sandra
Pool Peterson.

Hi, i am a decendant of samuel
hughes, his son [ Joseph Fletcher Hughes ] is my grandfather.
Guessing that Samuel was born 1859 or 1860 in Missouri. Married Mary
Jane Ford Aug .1885 Arkansas.
THEIR CHILDREN WERE BORN IN FOX
, ARKANSAS - CLERANCE S. HUGHES - LEE ANDER GUSTOVIS HUGHES- EFFIE
HUGHES - JOSEPH FLETCHER HUGHES BORN JAN. 24, 1896 AND CLARA
HUGHES BORN 1898
Since his wife married James M.
Goldman 1901 , i'm guessing Samuel died about 1898 to 1900.I DID GET
INFO THAT MARY JANE LIVED IN INDEPENDENCE CO. 1900 WITH HER
CHILDREN.
Any info on this family will be greatly
appreciated.

I have a question about ancient pottery and how in the world it
would have made it to Arkansas, specifically the Strawberry River.
Last year, my husband and I went to an estate sale and purchased 2
pieces of Indian pottery from the Freeze estate in Oil Trough. Mr.
Freeze told me that a friend of his found the pottery near the banks
of the Strawberry River. Anyhow, we took the pieces to Murfreesboro
for an evaluation and were pleasantly surprised. Sam Johnson from
the Caddo Trading Co. said these pieces are Peruvian, from the
Chavin dynasty and were created approx 400 - 600 B.C. Would these
have something to do with the Hernando DeSoto expedition in
Arkansas? Or what could be another explanation of how they made
it here?
Thanks,

Was wondering
if you could help with my Burns family. My great great
grandfather was Erastus Burns b. 1838 Arkansas, s/o Elijah J.
Burns, born in South Carolina around 1795, I believe, and we
haven’t been able to determine Erastus’ mother. Some suspect
the last name may have been Logan, but I don’t know how they
arrived at that thought. I believe Erastus’ siblings were:
Hannah b. 1828, Elizabeth b. 1833, William Edward b. 1838,
Stephen Columbus b. 1840. Elijah leaves Arkansas sometime
between 1840 and 1850 and turns up in Wright Co., Missouri, I
believe married to someone named Naomi A. Young. There are more
children born in Missouri that I believe to be from Naomi.
Does any of
this sound like any of your Burns Family?

Nov 1885 in Independence Co. AR. Two children were born in this

grandparents James Harvey Harkcom and spouse Sarah Ann Hazeltine
Hardin.

Hello: I attended Blue Creek School
when I was in the first grade. A Miss Massey was my teacher. The
school was torn down soon after we moved to Cass County, Missouri.
We lived on land east of Batesville owned by James Slayden, my
grandfather. My mother was Zella Slayden. Where could I get a
picture of Blue Creek School or print it from online?
