Hi: Don't think so. Although, we were never told as children, and their wer 11 of us, that we were kin to anyone in Wilmot. My father - grandfather came to Wilmot, Arkansas in 1840 from Georgia (David Milton Grant) and I am sure someone where along the line -- we were kin to someone in Wilmot - but my father never said.

Supposedly, Mr. Bob Withers reared my great-grandfather, Charley MOnroe Thurman and his brother Richard Perkin Thurman, too, after their parents died during the Civil War. They all had come from Henry Co., AL, and I assume must have known one another back there. Also, they all settled near Longview and the Prairie Chapel Community where lots of the withers are buried. Also, a Richard Withers married a Thurman girl, daughter of Wm. Anguish (Bill) Thurman. BETH THURMAN terrilee@ipa.net

I'm working on a story about Mary Robinson Withers Bond, who organized the First Methodist Church of Hamburg in 1850. He was a sister to a Captain Robert J. Withers, steamboat captain, who killed his brother-in-law, John Cook Downey on August 8, 1860. Can anyone tell me anything about the murder. I would like to know why he killed him, where, and how. Also, why didn't Capt. Withers go to jail? Mary Robinson Withers Bond moved to old Dallas, Arkansas in Polk County, and lived with the grandson, J.Y. Christmas, which she had raised. Rev. Christmas organized the First Methodist Church South in the new town of Mena, Arkansas in 1896. Thanks for any help. SAM Shirley Ann (Shewmake) Manning, editor The Mountain Signal P.O.

Yes, this is a commercial site it seems - which may or may not be anything to worry about - I do think it would be better when anyone wished to post links to such commercial sites they first clear it with the list administrator. In this case I would most likely have seen no harm in posting this information, but there are others that I have asked not to in the past. So, Ben, if you are still online, please clear it with list administrator prior to posting commercial links. For those wishing to have a venue to post information and/or links about and/or to commercial sites that might conceivably have relevance to Ashley County, the most appropriate place would be the Ashley County ARGenweb site. I found some time on my vacation to get that set up - a start anyway. http://www.rootsweb.com/~arashley/arashley_Index1.html is the url for the site.

Thanks, Ben, but I wonder why you have posted essentially the same information to several hundred county sites on rootsweb? This seems to be a good link and the info seems good. I don't know if this is a commercial site or not, but it does have some information that would be useful for any researcher of this county.

Susan, I don't live in Ashley County, but I do have a copy of the "local Genealogical Society published the tombstone book." The book dones have map inserts of the cemetery locations. Would be glad to do a look up for you if you know which cemetery you want to locate. I am more familiar with the Mount Pleasant Cemetery because that is where most of my family resides.

RE CEMETERIES: Herb...I sent this message to the L List by mistake, so I am resending it. Too bad the lady can't be in Ashley County for the 4/22 Homecoming at Mt. Olive Cemetery....I plan to be there..just finalized my reservations and will be meeting up with several relatives for the day...really looking forward to it. I guess they moved the Homecoming from June or July to April this year because of the heat, etc. Wilma Williams in Calif.

Herb: Too bad Susan isn't going to be in Ashley County or thereabouts for the April 22 Homecoming Day at Mt. Olive Cemetery. They moved it to April this year. I plan to be there. I just made all my reservations (coming from California) and have contacted several relatives in the area that I hope to connect with while I'm there. Wilma Williams, in Calif.

Hello Betty, Sorry, could you narrow it a bit more than that? I don't have any SHUMAKER or WARREN surnames listed in my personal research material at hand. If I have a specific cemetery location to check I may be able to go there to verify a listing, but I have no personal knowledge of those surnames. In the event I do at some point stumble across some children with the SHUMAKER name, do you know which ones would be the ones you are looking for, or would you be interested in any that I may find of that time range? Also, do you happen to know where in the county these folks were? I don't get around to the east side much, though we do occasionally go there, so there is more chance that I could find graves or verify listings for locations on the western part of the county. A township listing from census information will generally be enough to tell me which way to head...
