I want to thank all of you for all the great submissions you sent in or posted!! As usual you take great interest in your website. I also appreciate those following the formats of the pages you submitted information. It sure makes my job a lot easier. I did however lose the guestbook postings. I was trying to clean it up from queries and such posted on the page and clicked delete instead of save. Remember this page is for comments and suggestions for the website. This is our resource for those in Morgan Co. to see what is thought about their website. So please post your queries and surnames in the appropriate place. If you would like to go back and place what I lost please do so...Again thank you for all the time and effort you have put into gathering your information for the website!! Good luck in your search! Kathy

To my knowledge the information is not on the internet but can be purchased in book form from Morgan Co. Genealogical Society, Inc. Their address is posted on the website under the Published books page. Good luck in your search! Kathy http://www.rootsweb.com/~almorgan/index.htm

Howard Co., Arkansas has been updated. Just a friendly reminder...we have a lot of new people on the internet since the holidays. You have always been a great group to not criticize people on their submissions of queries - in fact you are very helpful to those new to the list and the internet. But for a reminder and the new friends we have on our list...please place a good subject line. EX: >>Looking for James H. Stokes descendants<< Also be sure to place a good query. Do not use all capital letters in your query. Many times people will not even read the email if it is all capital letters (all capitals is considered screaming). Stay within the information you are seeking to find as a long drawn out query many times will also not be read. EX: >>Seeking for descendants of James H. STOKES who was born 1833 in Morgan County, Alabama. James H. married Mary Jane HELMS Aug. 18, 1856 in Sevier Co. Arkansas. James H. second wife was Mary S. MORRIS - they were married Feb. 11, 1883 in Sevier County. After James and Mary divorced, James H. then married Nancy Catharine SMALLINGS on Aug. 14, 1892 in Howard County, Arkansas. Would like to exchange information.<< If you have problems with some one "flaming" you (sending you a hateful email complaining you did something wrong), contact ME - DO NOT send it to the list as that just keeps things going - let me handle it. A reminder to those of us who have been on the internet for a while...We get members from all over the world and we need to remember to distinquish where we are referring as many times there are countries with the same names of our counties and states. I do have my lists set up where the subject line tells you ARHoward, ARSevier & ALMorgan (many families in Sevier & Howard counties Arkansas migrated from Morgan County, Alabama so if you are not locating your family you might wish to visit that county site) but remember this if you are on a list that does not have this setup. Just think how many states in the United States have the same name counties - could be rather confusing looking for John Smith in Orange County - hmm would that be Virginia, North Carolina, California.....Also many are new to the genealogy world. And I am the first to confess I am the world's worst on abbreviations...but many do not know what b (born), m (married), d (died) etc. are referring to...so until we train them<GR> try to stay away from abbreviating. I apologize for not getting the counties updated as soon as I had finished transcribing/posting the 1850 Sevier Co., Arkansas (included parts of Howard County, Arkansas) and 1850 Morgan County, Alabama census as I had promised. But I spent too much time on the computer with this work which resulted in 4 trips to the chiropractor and some staying away from the computer for a while. But I am working on the remaining counties to get them updated. I am in hopes of having them all updated before leaving Thursday for Phoenix to take Genealogy Shoppe to Mesa, Arizona'a seminar who's guest speaker will be Cyndi Howell of Cyndi's List. If you would like to attend the seminar, contact me and I will tell you how to get your reservations. If some of you are already planning to attend, please come by and say hello. Also a reminder of AFHA's (Arkansas Family History Association) February 20 meeting will feature Tracey Converse. Her topic will be "Surfing the Web for Cousins." She will provide insight into how to find your family information on the web. What search engines to use and how to share your information with others. http://www.rootsweb.com/~arfha/ March 18 Craighead County, Arkansas, and The Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society, and The Delta Studies Center of ASU will be hosting an array of speakers. They include: Dr. George Schweitzer, PhD, ScD, Lynda Childers Suffridge, Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., Russell Baker, Jan Eddleman, & Tracy Converse. You might wish to visit their website: http://www.insolwwb.net/~nlmatthews/event.htm For those in Oklahoma, I will be giving a lecture April 3 at the Cushing, OK Genealogical Society's monthly meeting. On April 8, I will be giving a lecture at Ponca City, OK. And of course OK Cowboys & Indians Ancestor Seminar Mar 24 & 25 http://members.aol.com/OkCowboys/AndIndians.htm I will make an announcement to the respective list of Sevier County, Arkansas and Morgan County, Alabama when I have updated them. Good luck in your search Kathy

My apologies for failing to include the following information at the time I first published my webpage. I did revamp the page to include the information below: Martha J. Roberts married Tilman Powell, Dec. 31, 1861 in Winston Co. Alabama, by A.W. Powell, Justice of the Peace. Children living in 1898 were: "Margaret W. M. Powell born . . (date not stated), William M. Powell, born . . .(date not stated), Benjamin L. Powell born Jany. 8' 1868." Affidavit of William A. Nesmith, 2dn day September 1908, stated that Tilman's first wife was Martha J. Roberts and that his second wife was Martha J. Moore, a neighbor. Mr. Nesmith was a comrade with Tilman during War Between the States.

I am preparing a family book for the Breeding Family of Morgan Co., Alabama, with a expected publish date of June 1, 2000. If you have a Breeding line, please let me know so that I can send a copy of your line for error checking. Earnie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You are invited to visit the address below for notes on names listed above. http://hometown.aol.com/powellsresearch/myhomepage/family.html Due to many requests, I have dug out an old file containing the Civil War Pension Application for Tillman Powell. I went through it and created a webpage so everyone who is interested in the family names above can have access to the file. I have not researched Tillman's family but would be interested in reviewing any notes that other researchers may have and I would be interested in contacting any of his descendants. The links at the bottom of the webpage were acting a little crazy so if you have any trouble let me know and I'll revamp the page. Hope these notes help someone. Bird
