(William) Pershall in Benton Co. He was in newspaper articles in 1895 in Benton Co. and Siloam Springs as having shot and killed a "Lanthrop". Interested in census listings of family members. He was a widow in 1895 in his 50's. Supposedly had land in either Boone or Marion Co. prior to that. May have died in Benton Co. if they convicted him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been researching a William Henry Pershall that seems to fit this description, including a daughter that claims to have been born in Benton County Arkansas in 1882. I would like to find out more about William, including more on this possible murder. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, including chatting with anyone who might be descended from William.
