<http://www.familysearch.org> is the url for the LDS Family Search. The search tab opens to the search feature. The 1880 US census is indexed and easily searched. You may also search the Social Security Death. The other files are compiled from submissions by church members and others who are sharing their family data. NOTE, since this data is the result of individual research it may contain errors. Since we all make mistakes, I suggest the Family search data be independently verified. The library tab opens the Family History LIbrary catalog. Many of you are already aware that you may visit a local Family History Center and order the films and fiche to read at the center. Because of the extensive daily use books are available only in the Family History Library. All of us who use the books, films, etc from the Family History Library collection are indebted to those faithful members for their dedication to family history and the generous way they share with those of us who are not members of their faith. The Federation of Genealogical Societies and the Utah Genelogical Society of Utah ared holding a conference for the nation's genealogist in Salt Lake September 7 -10. I understand the library is extending the hours during the conference for those who are attending lectures and meetings to also be able to do some research. If you are interested in the Conference visit FGS at <www.fgs.org>. I have also been advised to "google for my ancestors" using the Google search engine.

I looked at the online index, and all I found was an infant George Bell, with no dates on the stone. There are a heckova lot of Bells there, though, so it might be worth your while to check it out. Here is the lick to the page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~arbenton/bccpg/bcemdex.htm Good luck!

Thank you for your suggestion. I will be spending the next two weeks with my grandchildren but after that will try to check this information.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Miller, Thompson, Yarns Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5U.2ADI/3892 Message Board Post: I am looking for descendents of Henry and Alvina (aka Lavina)Miller who moved to Hico, Benton Ak from Pleasant Lake IN after 1885 and prior to 1900 census. They had daughters Lillie, Jeanine (?) Mary, Jessie and Amie. They had a son named Henry F who was born in 1888 and married a Hattie H. There was a second son named Frank who was married to a Mary. As of 1910 one of the sons had two children Arthur L and Lilly. Alvina Miller was the daughter of Amy Yarns Thompson and Daniel Thompson of Pleasant Lake IN. When Amy was widowed she moved in with her daughter and family. Amy died in 1885. Any information regarding this family line would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I am still looking for the grave of Purity (Davidson) Rogers. Could you tell me if there is a grave for Purity Davidson Rogers, there in Benton County, AR. She born 1800 in North Carolina and married before 1829 at probably Readyville, Rutherford Co. TN to Dean Rogers who was born in New Hampshire or NY in 1786 according to family census information. Since Dean Rogers was about 14 years older than his wife, Purity (Davidson) Rogers was, I suspect that he died prior to her death. I do not have any death dates for either Dean or Purity Rogers. Their children located close to or around the Siloam Springs area. The children were born in Rutherford Co., TN. It is not clear to me if Dean and Purity both later moved to Missouri around Stone, Barry and Lawrence Co., MO or just their children. Alot of their descendants located in MO, AR , TX and OK. We have been told that there is a grave for Purity (Davidson) Rogers around Siloam Springs in a cemetery. We are not sure but think the cemetery is on the East side of Siloam Springs. Are there any cemeteries around Hico twp? As you can probably tell, we have done a lot of ground work to get to Siloam Springs but we really do not know for sure if and where there is a grave for Purity Davidson Rogers. Any help that might be given would be greatly appreciated. Purity (Davidson) Rogers and Dean Rogers had a son, John Rogers, who lived on one of the old Rogers home places which was on Barron Fork, Cherokee Co., OK. He was born September 06, 1833, at Readyville, Rutherford Co., TN. He died in or around what is now Leach, Delaware Co., OK on 23 July 1916. He and his third wife Sally Ann Garrett, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, married in MO in 1880. John and Sally Ann (Garrett) Rogers had a daughter named Mary Ann (Molly) Rogers, was born September 10, 1857, near Springfield, Greene Co., MO. Missouri became the 24th state on 10 August 1821. The state of Missouri is much smaller than the original Missouri Territory. Mary Ann (Molly) Rogers married Wm. Samuel Martin on 15 March 1891. The 1910 Census lists Wm. Samuel Martin as living in Benton Co., Hico Twp (Siloam Springs, AR) In later life, John Rogers lived in a hack and went back and forth from Leach, Delaware Co., OK to Siloam Springs, Benton Co., AR to Mary Ann (Molly) Rogers Martin's house. The daughter of Mary Ann [Molly] (Rogers) and Wm. Samuel Martin, who was Susie Martin, was born 1894 and married WarrenYounger. Martin Younger, of Siloam Springs, descends from this family as do I. I look forward to anyone that might be able to help me. Ruth Kinney Townsley 3 great granddaughter of Dean and Purity (Davidson) Rogers

Just a shot in the dark but you might look for a Bryan or McClure connection to the family of Wier/Wear you are looking for.

I don't think so, John's parents were from TN and moved to Newton County, MO in the 1830's. John wasn't born until 1848 in MO. Thanks anyway!
