Hello, My name is Glenda Romine. I am looking for information about my gggrandfather. His name is Samuel David Streeter. He was being divorced in September of 1851 by Martha M. Streeter in Jackson Co. AR ( the part around Augusta is now Woodruff Co). He failed to appear. According to the divorce papers it had further information in the White River Commercial. I am told there are no existing copies of the paper. The last census I have for him is 1850 in Phillips Co. Arkansas living in the household of Zemeri Barney who was a farmer. Samuel is listed as a laborer. However, family stories say that he owned, operated, or other wise worked on a riverboat in the White River. According to the story his boat sank and he drowned. If any one has any information about either his divorce or his ship ( might be the Muskogee) and his drowning I would appreciate you contacting me. If you know of another way to search that would be helpful too. You may use the list or contact me off the list! at gromine@bscn.com. Thank you for taking the time to read about this 'brick wall' of mine. Glenda Romine
