Jean, J.H. (John Hamton) and Minerva (Minerva Mary Pennington) are in my Stroope line. I have the 1900 census for them and they had two nieces living with them, Billie Matheny 28 and Dora I Pennington 20. J.H. was one of 13 children and I do have one of his siblings with a connection to a Johnson but I may not have everything. I have a Sarah (Sally) Wacaster (b.1874) married to Fate Johnson but my Stroope line and Wacaster line didn't mingle until 1907. The daughter of one of J.H.'s siblings married a Wacaster.) It's an indirect line but....who knows? They were all pretty close knit families back then. Let me know if you think I might have something for you.

Could someone please enlighten me as to the precise location of Polk Township & Bayou Meto Township. Both are listed as Arkansas County in the census of 1850 & 1860. A map would be superb. I found a Bayou Meto Township just south of Lonoke but it isn't in Arkansas County. Did the County line move significantly? Thanks for any assistance. Shirley Erickson
