Looking for info on David Ladd in Sevier Co. He supposedly donated land for the cemetery and a road in King, Sevier Co., AR. My grandfather said it was his uncle but I cannot find any connection. He is buried in Cossatot Cemetery in King. Does anyone know if he was any relation to the Heathers or Stringfellows???? Thanks for your help.

As a matter of curiosity which may be of general interest if, blush, it hasn't been published previously, just what documents are available from the AR State Archives? For example, I'm descended from Solomon Melson of Hempstead/Nevada/Pike Co. and would be curious to know what the state has on him -- in an innocent sort of way, of course. I don't ask for that info at the moment, but would appreciate a general sort of idea. Equally, I'd be curious what might be available regarding the Studdards and Greshams of Clark Co. Is the information, or indexes to it, available on line, or must I submit a specific request? Thanks for your patience with a genealogical novice. Bob Melson > There is a short biography of D. C.
