However, these were members of my home community. It it believed that Martha Popwell Miears died about 1864 due to a fever (typhoid?) and is believed to be buried at Chestnut. It is thought that Thomas Miears and Martha Popwell may have had 5 children. After Martha Popwell's death, it is believed that Thomas Miears remarried on February 09, 1865 in old Autauga County to Mary Frances Ann Baxley that is believed that Frances had been married to a Lewis Jackson Morris that had also recently lost his life as well. Then it is thought that Thomas Miears and Frances Baxley went to east AL, then TN and on to the Woodland TX and Sevier County AR area. I know I have seen Thomas Miears and wife Frances in the 1910 Clear Creek, Sevier County, AR Census while looking for other folk of this area. It appears that many of their children took the spelling of the surname as Myers. So Frances Baxley Miears must have died! sometimes after 1910 and it is believed that Thomas Miears died in 1923 and is buried at the Nunley Cemetery in Mena, Polk County, AR. Didn't mean to butt in. Research and check this out to your own satisfaction, I really just wanted to say that I don't think that Thomas Miears is buried at Chestnut Creek, but rather in Polk County AR. Also I think you will find many marriage records of Thomas Miears' children and Frances Baxley's (Morris) in Sevier County, AR which might also help you in your research of your family. www.bruceglenn.com
