Dave: In regards to Linda's posting the location of Phoenix caught my eye, knowing you can actually see death certificates (until 1953) for Arizona. They can be searched via the following web site. http://genealogy.az.gov/index.asp Good Luck with your search. Kamille

I have a copy of Arkansas Angels that list 50+ Church of Christ northeast Arkansas pastors. I would be glad to do lookups for anyone. Debbie Mack Grandview, MO

kay.. Can you give us some family information that might help us locate your James??? His age and place of birth might be helpful but his wife's name and the name of your grandfather would help, too...If he was old enough to leave a chile, he might be found in the 1880 census...If you have him in any censuses, let us know so we don't waste time looking there... Betty I have been trying to find out some information about my Gr.Grandfather and can not seem to locate any information----all I know is he was a Methodist preacher in the Danville,Yell County, Arkansas area in 1889-99. He rode horseback and preached in different churches around that area. He was working on the roof of a house and fell off and ultimately died from the injuries. I can not find where he was buried or actually anything about him. Any help would be appreciated. His name was James Everett Sutton.Thank you for any help you can give me. My email is dwinget@midwaynet.net. Kay

Dave ---In regard to search for info on your great grandfather --- When you search for info, sometimes it's helpful to not only search under the full name (i.e. James Everett Sutton), but also the initialled version (i.e. J.E. Sutton), as news items, legal documents, etc. often used that form. Here are a few things which may or may not be related that I found on the internet. A Mr. J.E. Sutton is mentioned in William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas. Under the biography of a man (William M. Gellett) whom he was partnered with in "general mercantile business" (c. 1869-1879). This man Gellett married a woman named Jessie Sutton in 1869, and Mr. Gellett & his wife Jessie had a son James. If your Sutton preached 1889-1899, that still could fit in with this Sutton's story. Ironically, there is a mention in the same source (History of Kansas) of a man (John Harris) who worked for 6 years (c. 1881-1887) as an "itinerant preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church" (based in Marion County Kansas). Besides being a preacher, he had been a farmer, fought in the Civil War, later owned a couple of banks... Secondly, I saw a source called "United State (sic) Fiche Collection" (a large PDF file, located on www.heritagequest.cm/catalog/fiche.pdf ) which lists many special collections regarding Arkansas, but included "Arkansas-Church Records" F-1720 10 fiche. History of Arkansas Baptists Publ 1948. Says it also contains biographical sketches of preaches "and others"....don't know if they'd stretch things to include Methodist preachers or not. There are a lot of interesting sounding histories of counties published in the late 1800's. (didn't have a listing for Yell County) Thirdly --from the Mormon sources on www.familysearch.org --- a James E. Sutton (born 1849 in Conway Co Ark) parents James W. Sutton and Mariah Stacey.... he married Francis Scisson in May 15, 1879 in Welborn Twp, Conway Co Ark. Also, since your James was a Methodist preacher, it would be reasonable to assume he would name one of his children after Wesley (who founded Methodism I believe). There is indeed a James Wesley Sutton, bon Aug 19, 1885 in Salem, Sharp Co Ark (prob him who marries at age 19 to Nancy Katherine Vaugn in Alma, Crawford Ark) he died June 25, 1951 in Phoenix Arizona. His father was indeed a James Sutton (but his mother was Elizabeth Jane Williams ..this James had md Elizabeth in 1884 in Salem, Fulton Ark ). Also shows a James Sutton born in 1862 in Ark, listed in the 1880 census as an 18 year old farm laborer living in Myatt, Fulton, Ark. Also shows a James Sutton marrying in 1884 to Azulea Grant in Logan, Ark. Also a James Sutton in 1904 married a Maud Barnes intuckerman, Jackson Ark. (this James died 1934). Also references a James Sutton, who was the 2nd husband of a Nancy Ellen Blanchard Sutton (1865--c1916 in Tex) buried in Urich, Missouri. (but does not show James Sutton as buried there). Fourthly--- . in marriages in Pike County Arkansas (1821-1895) A Calvin Sutton md a Della M. ? in 1894, and a James H. Sutton md a Mary E. ? in 1891. Noticed that Scott County borders Yell County. In the early history of Scott County, no actual churches, just itinerant preachers holding forth in homes of the settlers in various counties).. By 1860, instead of itinerant preacher, a source said it was "supplanted by the circuit-riding pastor" (which the distinction was that the services were not held irregularly in settlers' homes. It says services at first were usually held in the district schools, but later log churches were erected. Linda

Mary Hardcastle's Father was James R. Hardcastle b-1777/1778 in Rutherford or Johnson Co., North Carolina he prob. died bef. 1833 in Tennessee. Mary's Mother was Belinda or Melinda Covington. So far to the best of my knowledge, my Hardcastle line stayed in the Nevada, Lafayette, Columbia County areas till present day. There were a few children that moved off here and there, but I believe that a lot of the line is still in the area. Mike

Mike: I would suggest that you look through the Columbia County tax records for 1860 - 1870 and see when your families drop off of the tax records. This may also give you information on when they died. If you live in AR you can come by our research room and see these records. If you live out of sate you can borrow these records through interlibrary loan at your local family history center. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russell P.

I know there are microfilm list of postmaster in some counties in Arkanasa for some years-----I have see one for Phillips Co, Ar for up to about 1915 Can anyone tell me where I can see this list from 1915 to 1930 james

We get all these braggarts of Arkansas History..a few think they know it all..........we have experienced their judgements and cancellations of our thoughts...........but let me say this......no one is immune to anything..........like me not being particularly happy to be connected to Bill Clinton, altho, I love him and would vote him into office again in a moment..........this is a history I've worked on for years with Mary Nell Turner in Hope, and because of this connection to my family, I was invited to the presidential library opening. I kept looking for faces connected to Arkansas History and I came up "zilch."To me this is a simple way of knowing that if our families were connected in earlier days........they are not necessarily felt ain n important way today. Funny, but when I used to listen to my husband's grandmother talk about her aunt, Bill Clinton's grandmother'............I never gave a thought to it............yet now I know how very closely our families were connected...........do I shun him? or do I claim him?.............well I wish to claim him. I do wish to disclaim some folks who raped the value of our history. Jann If I want to start a new Arkansas List.............how would that go over??
