Looking for parents and siblings of William L. Walker b. ca. 1867 and wife Susan ? who were in LeFlore County, Oklahoma on 1920 census. Had siblings Winnie, Lawson B. and Mary H.. William L. states he was born in Arkansas and Father in Alabama and Mother in Georgia.

How blessed we are to live in a day and time when news like the following is not read in our daily newspapers: New Era Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas June 25, 1864 CAGED Last Thursday the acting Post Chaplain, Rev. J V McAfee, concluded to have a pair of rebel women removed from town, in accordance with General Orders removing refugees. But on Mr. Keenan going up to carry out the order, he was violently abused by the women, who confessed they were rebels, and had done all they could for the rebel cause, in furnishing them such articles as they could, and acting the spy, and declared they intended to do so as long as they had a chance, and if they had any Union blood in them they would let it out. On searching the house there was about 80 pounds of lead and other ammunition, two guns and other contraband articles found. They were shipped to Little Rock with a request to the Provost Marshal there to have them caged. Mr. P, a citizen of Newton County, arrived here a few days since with his wife and three other ladies, on foot, and in very destitute circumstances. It seems they had been repeatedly robbed by the bushwhackers. They then traded off all the available property they had for something to subsist on, and when this was consumed, they had to leave, as they were not permitted to raise anything more. The husband of one of the ladies, who is sixty-five years of age having been killed, and Mr. P having to keep concealed to save his life they set out for this place, a distance of 100 miles, carrying everything they had on their backs. Mr. P was disguised with his wife’s clothing, which he changed at Van Buren. Last Sunday a party of fiends in human shape dashed up within a few miles of this place and killed three union men, A Paden, Thomas Paden, and George H Hill, in cold blood. Those murders are endorsed by the rebel authorities, and considered a great prop to the rebellion many of the leaders holding commissions in their army, or other permanent positions. The principles of bushwhacking being so universally inculcated in the beginning of the war we in reality look at the rebellion, in the point of criminality as but a bushwhacking warfare on a grand scale. BUSHWHACKED- Patrick McKenzie, living about 8 miles south east of this place, was bushwhacked last Thursday. Like many others here, he had taken the oath some time since, and treated as a loyal man, though several union men here remember him as one of the first to advocate secession, and as having ironed and otherwise mistreated several persons when taking them to Little Rock, as prisoners, for the crime of being loyal to the Union. The Memphis Bulletin of the 14th inst., states that a large train of wagons belonging to refuges from Lanesport, Arkansas, was attacked by guerrillas near the northern lines of this State. 75 men and four women were killed, and all the wagons robbed and burned, leaving the remaining women and children in great destitution. Most of them had assembled at Lanesport while our troops were posted there, but when our forces evacuated the country they attempted to go through to St. Louis by land and thus met their sad fate. We are having another wet season, one that would have ensured to the people of this country a living for a year to come, if they had been permitted to cultivate their farms. As it is, the poor will have to suffer, and thousands leave their homes, and go hundreds of miles to find a land of peace and plenty- which, thank God, is t be found all over the North- while this country will be depopulated, and made a wilderness, and in the end the rebels will gain nothing by their course. FOR SALE OR TRADE Four 2-Horse wagons, 3 ox wagons, in running order, 1 Ambulance, 2 light wagons, 10 horses, 5 colts, 1 good Jack, and 7 suits of 2 horse harness. Opposite Bright’s old Mill on Garrison Avenue. Thomas Daly. July 2, 1864 BUSHWHACKING ITEMS We learn from Captain Coleman, 9th Kansas Cavalry, who returned from a trip down the river below Roseville, a few days since, that our cavalry have not been idle during the last week. Major Thatcher commanded an expedition which surprised a body of bushwhackers camped at the house of one Pearl, near the Potato Hill, in the South East part of this county, and killed five of them. They went from that point to the vicinity of Roseville, where they killed two more, one of them being Major Randolph Tittsworth, formerly of the rebel army, but more recently of the brush, and no doubt one of the party who have systematically fired into every boat, save two, that have made the trip this season. This is the third time lately that the bushwhackers have been found on the premises of Mr. Pearl, who had been down south with the rebels until recently, but his wife came to Fort Smith recently, took the oath, purchased her goods, and is currently reported to have received pay for most of the forage used by our troops in passing through that section; while we know of several Union men of undoubted loyalty, with their pockets full of vouchers and receipts, on which they are unable to get a cent. Captain McConnell, of the 9th Kansas Cavalry, has returned from a scout to the Sugar Loaf Valley, with detachments of the 6th, 9th and 14th Kansas Cavalry, under the command of Captain Searle. They encountered and captured some of the rebel pickets just beyond Sugar Loaf Mountain, but not being in force to attack them, as they are reported to be several hundred strong, returned. Captain McConnell represents the country as being nearly devastated by the Indians, who are driving off all the stock, destroying other property, and compelling all the families suspected of loyalty to leave the country. One of the scouts from that section reports that the Indians had taken off with them several men over 80 years of age, and small boys, for what purpose, no one knows, unless to kill, or hold them as hostages.

If someone offers to do lookups, please send your request to that person by private email. The same goes for replying unless it is something of general interest to everyone. Thanks, Jan D.

Just a gentle reminder. The topic for this list is Arkansas genealogy. Please let's stay on topic and not ask for lookups unless they pertain to Arkansas.

I am searching for two marriage records: Richard B. Adams married Susan ?? after the 1850 census bef. 1860 Nancy Russell was his wife in 1850. Richard's daughter, Minerva/Manerva married Marquis L. Parham 1859/1860 ?? In 1850 and 1860 these families were living in Jefferson County, Alabama. In 1860, Marquis and Minerva were living in the Richard B. Adams household, probably as newlyweds.. Thank you, Wanda

Ed, Thanks for looking, 1. I wonder would they had to have a delay birth to get a social security number? My grandma worked for the state in ILL until she retired so somewhere she got one she was born Jan 1907. She was from Pea Ridge, I have she was born in Glad, Ark. Izard county, It would be nice to find obit's , a birth cert , death cert something so I can find her older sibling's mom's name. I'm sure her dad was married at least 3 times maybe four. 2. They would have to go to the state they were born in to get the delayed birth? If this is true then that is why you didn't find them . Just Florece, Jacob, Charlie, Elmer, Robert Holly, Were born in Arkansas. 3. Sounds like you stay really busy . With Being commuting minister. You enjoy the work and helping others is really great. sounds like you have a full day going on today. 4. I appreciate your help in look up. Mostly I found not a lot of help in Arkansas of someone to do a look up for you. Thanks sharon ---------------------- Sharon, Answers to your questions: 1. Getting a Social Security number involved some satisfactory proof of citizenship and age. A Birth Certificate does better than any other primary document. 2. Yes, only the state wherein one is born can issue a Birth Certificate, delayed or otherwise. It is like a Death Certificate. Some people have not been able to locate a Death Certificate because they looked in the state of RESIDENCE of the deceased though he actually died in a car wreck 1500 miles from home. There IS a Death Certificate. It is in the state where the person DIED; not where he lived! 3. Mostly people are interesting and appreciate someoneís being interested in them. I am glad to have met you and look forward to the conversations we have not yet had. I enjoy the work I do, though my 74-year-old body sometimes seems to respond more slowly than I want to remember! 4. I hope you can connect with some of the other members of the Arkansas Genealogical Society. A number of us do lookups. Try to state clearly what it is you need and I believe someone will help you. State as much as you know of the NAME, EVENT, DATE and PLACE; as in ìGeorge JONES was born Oct 12 1884, in INDEPENDENCE Co AR. Can you help me locate a marriage record for him? That is a reasonable question of the sort we can often answer for you. Some people ask to know when did George JONES marry and where? That is tough because 75 counties have to be searched. In that case, the querist is likely to NOT get a reply. Wording queries so they CAN be answered takes a little thought.

Would you please look and see if you have a record of birth for Anna Juanita Clark b. 10 July 1916. Parents: Frank Clark and Nan Booth. Thank you, alice

Joann, Cornell University has the "War of the Rebellion," (a compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies) online, as a part of the "Making of America" (MOA) Project. They hope to have a searchable index available soon, but in the meantime, it references two other sites that are helpful in navigating the large collection. The "War of the Rebellion," can be found at: <http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/MOA/MOA-JOURNALS2/WARO.html> Ancestry.com members can also search for their Civil War ancestors, or look up the history of a Civil War unit in the Civil War Research Database at: <http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/cwrd/cwrd_index.htm> Large libraries nationwide, county, city, or institutional, have the 128 volume hard copy set. Also, you may want your very own CD-ROM containing _Official Records of the War of the Rebellion_ _Fox's Regimental Losses_. Dyers, Compendium_, and the _National Archives Guide Index_. I got mine from Guild Press of Indiana, Inc., 435 Gradle Drive, Carmel IN 46032, (317) 848-6421, or, <www.guildpress.com> Best wishes, Ed [email protected] wrote: > Just read your e-mail response on AGS.

Tricia, Sorry, no birth record for Bolden Green BAILEY. Must scold you a little, though. It won't hurt long. Nancy's name was NOT BAILEY--unless she and Bolden Green BAILEY were cousins. In genealogy, and in official birth records, a woman's name never changes! Nancy's name was whatever her FATHER's NAME was; not her husband's name.

John, An additional thought is that you might try locating your soldier in the _Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System_. You can search very broadly by choosing from the categories at the top o the search engine page the various lists within the system. I once found an obscure southern partisan leader simply by doing an electronic search for his name in the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, laughing at my own desperation as I hit "Enter." Imagine my surprise when "Tuck Smith" harvested a full typed page. The odds were almost unimaginable. First, "Tuck" is a nickname! Secondly, his surname was "SMITH!!" Nevertheless, there he was --raising hob with the Federal troops occupying Fayetteville, AR.

I have the index of those births which were recorded in AR by means of a Delayed Birth Certificate. Most of these certificates were registered in 1942. Only those births which occurred from the earliest record through the year 1901 are available to the public. In January 2003 the births through 1902 will become available.

Can anyone out there do a lookup of a divorce for me. It is my grgrandmother. She was Martha Troutman married Ira Taylor on 27 Jan 1904 in Brookland, Craighead Co. Ark. Martha also married a Will T. Taylor on 11 Sept. 1909 in Craighead Co. Ark. My grandfather Raymond Rufus was born 14 Sept. 1906 in Fisher Ark. So the divorce was between Sept. 1906 and Sept. 1909. I am very desperate for this brick wall to crumble. Thanks for everyone that will be helping. Sandy Petty in Illinois
