Still not 100% today, but had to take care of some things in Rogers, so while I was waiting for some things to be copied for my brother in CO., I decided to spend a little time at the Rogers Library. Did get 7 obits for 3 people, so accomplished a little more, anyway. Also got some things to mail off "snail mail" to another one of you. Just too much to scan and send via e-mail. For those still waiting. Those with out exact death dates take a lot longer to hunt down. Even a month and year, take a while, so, please, be patient and don't give up on me yet! I have over half of the requests done. (There were 49 total) May try to make Springdale tomorrow, but if not, will definitely be there next week. Until the next update, God Bless! Wilma

You get well, first things first. NJ

Searching for Margaret N. "Meg" Ellis , daughter of Joshua T. & Mary Palestine (PHILLIPS) ELLIS. Mary's parents were Samuel Grover & Lela Elizabeth (JOHNS0N) PHILLIPS. A Maggie ELLIS is listed as a boarder in the home of Jacob JOHNSON in the 1900 Census of Fayettville Washington County Arkansas. I believe this Maggie Ellis maybe Margaret N. Ellis. Name:   Maggie Ellis Home in 1900:   Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas Age:   24 Estimated birth year:   1876 Birthplace:   Arkansas Race:   White Relationship to head-of-house:   Boarder Occupation:   Dressmaker Image source:   Year: 1900; Census Place: Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas; Roll: T623 79; Page: 14B; Enumeration District: 113. Name: Jacob Johnson Home in 1900:   Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas Age:   39 Estimated birth year:   1861 Birthplace:   Arkansas Race:   White Relationship to head-of-house:   Head Occupation:   difficult to read appears to be handing sales Image source:   Year: 1900; Census Place: Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas; Roll: T623 79; Page: 14B; Enumeration District: 113. ` I believe Maggie & Jacob may be cousins. Jacob can be found in later census but I did not locate Maggie or anyone I could assume was Maggie. It is possible she married, perhaps there is a marriage record or moved to another area. Any information about Maggie Ellis would be helpful. Jonelle ELLIS Russell email: [email protected]
