According to tax records, and other information from Searcy County AR between 1840 and 1850, there was a Benjamin F. Henley listed as 'an old man', whose wife was a McNair. Also listed, was a Robert Osborne, who was married to a McNair, sister of 'old uncle Ben Henley's wife". Does anyone have any information on either of these men?? My gggrandfather was Silas Osburn, which isn't a great stretch from Osborne. Also, another of my gggrandfathers, Jackson Henley was in Independence County AR during this same period, and I would be interested in learning if this Benjamin Henley may have been related to him. Thanks for any help Jettie Henley Parrish

Van Buren Press Crawford County, Arkansas January 4, 1912 MURDER AND LYNCHING AT MULDROW Muldrow, January 1.- Wilbur Turner, the negro, who was taken from jail here and hanged yesterday morning, was buried in the woods north of the city this morning. George Cason, the farmer, whom he murdered, was buried at 3 o'clock this afternoon at Black Jack, a settlement a few miles north of this place. Mrs. Cason, who suffered a fate worse than death, is prostrated at the home of her father here, as the result of her treatment by the negro, the following exposure to the cold and shock. No such fiendish crime was ever committed in Sequoyah County as the murder of Cason and the ravishing of his wife. The lynching of the negro was the first that ever took place in this county, and everybody says it was just retribution promptly meted out. The only clue to the identity of the Negro is the following letter which indicates his name is Turner, which he wrote during the few hours he was in jail: THE NEGRO'S PARTING LETTER.- Eufaula, Okla. My Dear wife honey I got to Dye today. Baby meet me in heaven, honey, I told you to come, honey don't marry no more. Raise the baby as the Lord would have him. Mamma and papa meet me in heaven. Dear sister I have done rong in my days tell Brother not to do like me. Pray for me. Wilma Turner is my wife. Annie Turner is my mother and lives at Warren, Ark. Please let my mother no how I went. Please telephone to my wife Wilma Turner. Please send my money to my wife. Honey here is my money. I got one dollar commin on the bridge. Wilma don't marry any more. Take care of my baby. The crimes for which the negro was lynched were the murder of George Cason and the ravishing of his wife, at their home, 2 miles west of this city, early Sunday morning. In fact, it was the unwritten law that caused swift punishment to fall upon the negro. At the time of his arrest, only the murder of Cason was known, but when it became known that the negro had assaulted Mrs. Cason while her husband lay dying beside her, about 50 Muldrow citizens marched into the jail, demolished the door and hanged to the limb of a black jack tree, about 100 feet away, and a short distance from the railway right of way. The hanging took place about 10:30 this morning and the body was still hanging in full view of all passengers on trains when Judge Pitchford, County Attorney Shackleford, and Sheriff John Johnson arrived at noon from Sallisaw. Sheriff Johnson cut down the body and turned it over to Undertaker John Brown. STORY OF THE CRIME About midnight Cason was awakened by some one knocking at his door, the negro pleaded to be let in to warm, sa he was nearly frozen. Cason let him in and built a fire, going back to bed. When the fire began to burn down the negro said he would bring in some wood, and stepped outside, returning with a few chips and a double bladed ax. He put the chips on the fire, then turned and covered Cason and his wife with a pistol, demanding money. "All I've got is in my pants", said Cason, pointing ot the garments lying on a chair. The negro walked over to them and picked them up, then ordered Cason and his wife to cover up their heads. With their heads covered the negro then struck Mr. Cason twice on the head with the side of the ax and once on the chest. Cason's skull was fractured but he lived about two hours. Using the pistol to enforce his commands, the brute forced Mrs. Cason to submit to his brutal passion for several hours. He had a bottle of whiskey and to his indulgence in it is due his capture. He drank frequently and ordered Mrs. Cason to drink with him, which she pretended to do. About 4 o'clock he succumbed to the influence of whiskey and fell asleep on the bed where the two babes of Mr. and Mrs. Cason slept. The babes aged 4 years and 18 months respectively. HOW THE NEGRO GOT TO MULDROW Van Buren, Jan. 1- The Negro, Nathan Turner, who was lynched at Muldrow, Sunday, of the brutal crimes, go to the scene of his final tragedy in a dramatic manner. He stole a heavy freight engine out of the Iron Mountain yards and ran it to Muldrow at full speed, where it was derailed. The engine, No. 3, one of the heaviest in the service, had been run out of the round house and stood, with steam up and fires banked, ready to take the 1:30 train to Coffeyville. Turner mounted the cab and was seen to pass the dispatcher's office. Instantly the dispatcher knew something was wrong and tried to get Greenwood Junction. There was no operator there. Muldrow was then tried. Just by chance Muldrow not being a night office the operator was in the office, he having come down to take the train for Fort Smith. He heard the call and order to him to run the runnaway upon the derailing switch, which he did in time to avoid a collision with the southbound passenger train. The engine was going at such a speed that it ran off the derailing switch into the ditch and the negro made off into the darkness. The negro had been working about the Iron Mountain yards and on the free bridge for several months past. Van Buren, Jan. 2.- Thorough investigation here has convinced the railroad officials that Nathan Turner, the Negro who was lynched at Muldrow, Sunday, was not accompanied by any other person in stealing the engine from the yards here. The engine was one of the heaviest type No. 3 of the freight engines on this division, and was steamed up ready to take out a heavy freight train after the passenger had arrived from the west. There would be no difficulty in running the engine to the main line, for it would split switches. The Negro had been loitering about the yards Saturday afternoon, and it is now realized that the many questions he asked of the yard men showed that the taking of the engine was deliberately planned by him. The wrecker was sent up from this city and brought the engine in. it had received considerable damage and went to the shops.

I need to find someone to go to the Garland County clerk's office and try to find a divorce record for me. I spoke with the clerk's office on the phone and they do not do searches but told me the records are available for research. I am planning to return to Hot Springs in September, but it would really help if I had the information before then. Of course I'm willing to pay for the help. Do you know anyone who could do this for me? I'm looking for the divorce of John Earl Allington and Julia Foster. It would have been between 1912 and 1920. They were married in St. Louis. Julia is my grandmother. I know they were married when my mother was born in Dec. 1911. In the 1920 Census, Julia is shown as living on Fordyce St., H.S., and is listed as divorced. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks, Marcel C. Gutierrez Tampa, Fl.

I am hoping someone there locally help me with a problem finding documentation to connect my great-grandfather, Charlie R. Grisham, to his parents, John H. Grisham and Parthenia J. Thomason. Charlie was born August 1880, one month after the 1880 census. By 1900, he had moved out on his own to work in northern Louisiana. His mother died about 1895 and his father moved to LA and remarried then moved to Panola County, Tx where he died. My grandfather on Charlie's death certificate could not name Charlie's parents, there was no probate will for John H. in Panola County, no Bible records exist that I have found to connect Charlie to his parents. He was born and buried in Springhill, AR, in Hempstead County. Is there a local Daughters of the Confederacy or DAR that can help? This line was involved in both the Confederacy and the American Revolution. Any help would be appreicated.

Hi, I am looking for info on a Gerald Lee Harris b May 1, 1920. I'm not sure what part of Arkansas he is from, possibly Fayettville, Washington County. His mothers maiden name was Cloud. He died Jan 21, 1986 in San Diego. Thank you, Tanya

Are there plans in the works for the 1950, 1951, & 1952 death certificates to be indexed like previous years (volumes)? If I send in a request for a lookup of my surname, would the state send me back those folks listed if within the 50 year limitation? I'm so tired of searching in the dark for given names I don't know about, but I would like a complete family genealogy -- deaths, etc. The blind searches are so expensive!

I've been revisiting death certificates and marriages licenses that I've acquired from Pulaski County, et al. Performing a couple of marriage solemnizations was William M. Mathews -- this is probably the son of my gg grandmother Julia Brown Douthard Mathews Porter, who was on the 1880 AR Census (Pulaski County, Little Rock). He was titled "Minister of the Gospel", and listed as "security" for a couple of the marriages. My question is this: How can I learn more about the M.G.'s (Minister of Gospel) who performed marriages in the 1870's, 1880's, and 1890's in Little Rock, AR? Where can I get information or where can I write for info on Black Churches and their preachers? Thanks, C.

Looking for heirs of a Margaret Sawvel b. 1847 who married a Davenport. Do not know his first name. Parents lived in Benton County, Arkansas. She could have married there or in Texas.

Dear list, My great grandmother Nancy Reed died on July 1 1925 in Lonoke. She was listed as Read in the index. I have a death certificate for her. On July 2 1925 Lizzie Reed died in Lonoke. Could someone please look her death and burial information up for me as I am curious as to who she was and the coincidence. Thank you very much, Pat

I would like to know if Benton Co. Arkansas was once part of Carroll Co. Arkansas. I am looking for the Bunch family which I thought was in Benton and I have found a lot of Bunches in Carroll. Thank you for any information. JoAnn Casner
