    1. [AGS] Still Searching....
    2. OK list..*EVERYBODY* here is African-American...you have traced back to 1866, the Freedman's Bureau Records..You have discovered 'who' your surname has come from, but..there is NO record of your surname giver on the Arkansas records. He has land there, but, you haven't a clue as to where he has come from. Seem's he purchased land in Arkansas, but didn't live there, paid taxes there, his workers worked there, but "he" didn't live there. Your family has come from S. Carolina, by way of Mississippi (one of my GG Grandmother's sister's was sold there while enroute to Arkansas), they settled near Star City (now named), but when they first arrived, it was to territory, could have been Drew, Lincoln, but definitely not Bradley. Back to the elusive Mr. Green who my family took their surname from. There are 5 on Ancestry.Com, one in 1860 from S. Carolina who could have been the possible last enslaver of your family. Well, as my hair falls from my scalp to the floor under my computer (as yours should be doing because this is your family also), what would your next move be? Who would you write? What would you ask for? What would you do? (To the newbies..I am (trying) to research records of W.H. (AKA William) Green, year 1860, county where land papers are registers was Drew.) Thanks Family! Dena.
