Hi: I sent the flood query to a fellow researcher whose ancestor was hurt by an AR flood. His answer is below. Regards, Nan [email protected] --------------------------------- Hello Nan, The flood my GGgrandad Edward Mattix was involved in happened during 1844. The river involved was the St. Francis. Location was on Maumelle Prarie in then Poinsett County(location now in Craighead) I recall my Granddad talking about it and said Edward lost approx. 1,000 head of cattle. The flood the gentleman references would not be uncommon. The White, Cache, Black rivers in East and Northeast Arkansas all flooded throughout the years. If he could determine the exact location of where the event took place then one would know the river involved at the time. Even this year is no exception. Flood problems have occurred this year on each of those streams.
