I am researching the ancestors of Orine Elsa HUGHES b. 1 Sept, 1917 in Hamburg, Ashley Co. AR, d.29 Nov, 1996, Nice, Lake County, CA.. Orine was the daughter of Rev. Samuel Bowman HUGHES and Florrie Bell INGRAM. Sam was b. 25 October, 1891 in Ward 9, Morehouse Parish, LA, d. 22 June, 1972 in Novato, Marin County, CA. Florrie was b. 9 Jul, 1896 (birthplace not proven).She was listed in the 1900 Census of Carter Township, Ashley County, AR and we know she was the daughter of John J. INGRAM and Nancy J. BLOCKER INGRAM. Florrie died 8 Oct, 1980 in Nice, Lake County, CA. Florrie and Sam were married 11 October, 1916 in Hamburg, Ashley County, AR. John J. "Joe" INGRAM b. 12 October, 1869, d. 1959 in Shreveport, LA. married (1)Nancy J. "Nan" BLOCKER INGRAM b. 16 Apr, 1879, d. 9 Dec., 1901. Both are buried in Promise Land Cemetery, Ashley County, AR. Joe married (2) Nancy "Nannie" WALLACE, b. Abt. 1880, d. 1945. Joe INGRAM and Nannie WALLACE INGRAM may have had a son, James Preston INGRAM. We have been told that Joe's father was John Gerald INGRAM, b. Abt. 1845 in South Carolina, d. Abt. 1876 in AR. and also that Joe's mother was Sally WHITE. We know also that Joe had two sisters, Alice INGRAM who married Nailus ELTON and the second sister married Will Thomas HIGGENBOTHEM. The INGRAM and BLOCKER families' trails dim at this point.We are trying to pick up the trail at this point and would appreciate making contact with anyone who might have leads or is researching these families.

Davis was born in GA and moved to AL then on to Arkansas (Drew Co., Ashley Co.,) Archibald wife name is Elizabeth Anice, they are buried in Zion Cemetery.

I am looking for information about Sarah Billingsley, found in the 1900 Ashley County census as a widow, living in Egypt Township with 3 of her granddaughters. She was born in the 1830s (I am going from memory as I don't have the record right in front of me). I'm curious if there is any listing in the Ashley County cemetery book about Sarah Billingsley.

Actually the end of that blacktop road takes you back to Crossett via Hancock road. To get to Pugh Cemetery you follow the directions as indicated, however after you cross a railroad track you will look for a gravel road to the right, and just up from that there is a smaller gravel road that is also on the right that follows the direction of travel of the blacktop road. There is a curve in the blacktop road at this point and it veers off to the left while the gravel "right turn" onto the cemetery road goes more or less straight up a hill to the clearing where the cemetery is. There is a sign at the blacktop road indicating the cemetery and you can see it up the hill a ways off since the trees were cut down a couple of years ago in logging operations in the immediate area around the cemetery. I can supply more information concerning this location if needed.

Cindy, The directions to the Pugh cemetery are as follows: From the intersection of Highway 52 and 133 in North Crossett, travel North on #133 a distance of 4.8 miles to a crossroads. There will be signs Georgia Pacific Lake and Stillion Access Road. Turn left at the crossroads and go about 2.5 miles. Pugh cemetery is at the end of the road. As listed in Tombstone Inscriptions and Notes of Ashley County, Ar by the Ashley County Genealogical Society the Pugh's listed are Greenwood, Albena , James L., Susan C., Thomas Francis, Greenwood and Meta. I did not find tombstones for Laddie and his wife but I did find this marriage listed which I thought could possibly be them. This is a typed transcription. Haddin Lester Pugh md Lepephine Griffin June 14, 1866 Book AA page 256. Hope the above helps a little.

The shooting occurred about three o'clock in the afternoon. The cause of the shooting is not known and Dunlap has not made a statement further than to say that "he had to kill him." After the shooting Dunlap called his brother L.E. Dunlap at Wilmar to come and get him and bring him to Monticello. Sheriff H.C. Burks happened to be in Wilmar at that time and went to Green Hill and brought Dunlap to Monticello where he is held in jail. At the Coroner's inquest held late Thursday afternoon, the verdict of the jury was unjustifiable homicide and that he be held without bail. Dunlap did not make a statement, when asked if he wanted to do so at the inquest. Dunlap is a member of one of Drew County's old pioneer families, married and has four children. Wallace was also married and leaves a wife and four children. > >John Hackney, who lives in the southern part of the county was killed instantly last Saturday night by John Withers, age 45 who lives near Fountain Hill, in Ashley county, and Withers was seriously stabbed in his neck during a quarrel between the two on the Longview road near the Saline river. According to witnesses of the affair, Withers and two others of Fountain Hill left there in an automobile to drive to Longview. On the way, they are said to have met John Hackney, who had stopped his automobile by the side of the road. Withers stopped his car and Hackney is said to have renewed an alleged quarrel of four years standing, claiming that he had heard that Withers had threatened to kill him. Withers, it is said, denied making any such statement, but Hackney, it is alleged, advanced on him with a knife and stabbed Withers in his neck, inflicting a serious wound.
