Hi all Listen, could someone tell me what community or communities would have been in what is enumerated as Barren Creek, in the 1900 Baxter Co. census? My grandfather is listed with his Smith family in that census. I had always been told that he had a brother that died relatively young and sure enough: 13 June 1900 Baxter Co., Arkansas census, Barren Creek Township: SMITH, Thomas J. head W M Apr 1866 34 md/13 yrs MO TN AR farmer can read & write Owns free farm #114/114 Nancy wife W F Sept 1864 35 md/13 yrs 6/5 AR TN TN can read & write Dollie daughter W F May 1886 14 single AR MO AR Sherman son W M Sept 1888 12 single AR MO AR Monroe son W M June 1889 11 single AR MO AR Louis son W M June 1896 3 single Ind Terr MO AR Willie son W M June 1898 2 single Ind Terr MO AR Marvil son W M Feb 1899 1 single AR MO AR The census taker has drawn a line through the son listed as Monroe. Did he pass away about the time that the census was taken? Trying to determine where Monroe Smith, a young boy aged eleven at the time that he died............might be buried? Any ideas folks?

I believe the town in that township is called Buford. It is near Barren Creek according to a county map I have. Interestingly there is a Buford township there today, and no Barren Creek township. I thought I heard they never changed the townships...
