Passing this on: Lynn-Marie Fancher -----Original Message----- From: Lesley Wischmann [mailto:lesleywisch@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 1:48 PM To: Martin's Cove List : Subject: Prospects for Martin's Cove sale I would like to think that, without Hansen in the 108th Congress, we can drop this proposal and work at finding a real solution, but who knows? As long as Enzi and Thomas remain opposed, it probably cannot move out of the Senate. Although this quotes Enzi's opposition, Thomas has been even firmer. Utah Bills Still May Linger Friday, November 8, 2002 And the outlook is not that clear in the new Congress for measures such as the sale of Martin's Cove to the LDS Church BY CHRISTOPHER SMITH THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON -- With incoming Republican Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott wanting to cut short next week's lame duck session of the Congress, passage of several Utah bills this year is unlikely. And the outlook is not that clear in the new Congress for measures such as the sale of Martin's Cove to the LDS Church, the San Rafael Swell state-federal land swap and the annexation of Wendover to Nevada. All of those bills were inked by retiring Utah 1st District Rep. Jim Hansen, chairman of the House Resources Committee, whose position and seniority drove the engine that got the measures through the House and to the Senate's doorstep, where they stalled. If the Senate does not act on the bills this year, it means new versions of the Utah measures will have to be introduced when the 108th Congress forms in January. But even a GOP monopoly on Congress may not help a proposal to convey the federal public land in Wyoming known as Martin's Cove to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which considers the site "sacred ground" for its connection to the 1856 blizzard deaths of Mormon handcart pioneers. "The Martin's Cove land giveaway is unlikely to be affected by the outcome of the midterm elections," said Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, which has opposed the Martin's Cove legislation. "The word in Washington is that Wyoming's Republican senators are opposed to this deal and it's likely they will have the necessary clout to block the proposed legislation." In recent letters sent to Wyoming constituents, both of the state's GOP senators underscored their opposition to the sale of Martin's Cove. They prefer LDS Church officials and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) working out a new use agreement for managing the site. "I am deeply concerned about the rift emerging within Wyoming over this proposal," wrote Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo. "It is very important, therefore, that we take the time this issue deserves to make sure it is handled correctly and that we not leave behind any irreparable damage within local communities." Another Utah measure stuck in the Senate with an uncertain future in the new Congress is a trade of 131,000 acres of federal land for 108,000 acres of state parcels in the San Rafael Swell. The deal was intended to consolidate federal holdings within a proposed new national monument, but Emery County voters Tuesday showed they didn't want the area turned into a national monument. The land swap legislation also has been tainted by a federal investigation prompted by a BLM whistle-blower complaint that the deal amounted to a $100 million giveaway of federal resources. And a House-approved measure to annex Wendover, Utah, to West Wendover, Nev., may now have smoother sailing but a long voyage in the Senate with GOP control. The enabling legislation had been opposed by Senate Majority Whip Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada out of concern that moving the state line eastward would hurt border casinos. Voters in both communities Tuesday approved a nonbinding referendum supporting the merger of the two towns. "The referendum shows that the majority on both the Nevada and Utah sides want the towns joined," said Marnie Funk, Hansen's Resources Committee spokeswoman. "If we have the Republican majority in the lame duck, Harry Reid is no longer the Whip and we could see some movement on that bill." Besides Reid, Nevada's other senator, Republican John Ensign, also is opposed to the Wendover annexation bill. In the 2000 election cycle, Ensign was the top Senate recipient of casino industry campaign contributions, collecting $373,749. In the 2002 election cycle, Reid was the top Senate recipient of casino industry contributions, collecting $210,300. csmith@sltrib.com Lesley Wischmann Laramie, WY 82070 lesleywisch@earthlink.net Working to save history at: Oregon-California Trails Association: http://OCTA-trails.org <http://octa-trails.org/> Frontier Diplomats: http://frontierdiplomats.com <http://frontierdiplomats.com/>

I have been researching SCHNABLES Company G during the Civil War. Through Various internet sights and other research I believe Most of the men from this company came from the Sugar Loaf area to Yellville Area. Corporal H. DeSHIELDS (HANDY) and WILLIAM D (also B) SHIELDS (WILLIAM DeSHIELDS) were members of Company G under Schnables Missouri State Guard. WILLIAM was captured 12/23/1864 in Marion County, Arkansas and died 4/20/1865 in Alton Prison, Alton, Illinois of Smallpox. GOSHEN JONES, private, was captured 10/28/1864 in Searcy, Arkansas and died 12/31/1864 in Alton Prison, Alton Illinois of Rubella. Other divisions of SCHNABLES troops also came from the Yellville/Lead Hill (now) area. The following men were members of Schnable's Company G CSA. William Chapman = Captain Charles Brownlee = 2nd Lt James D String = Jr 2nd Lt H DeShields = Corporal W C Daniel = 1st Sgt Privates were: James R Beckley/Buckley J J Benton B F Briggs John Bruce (mentioned in Turnbo Tales) I N Campbell W A Campbell J T Cavana Nelson Chapman A Daniel Thomas Wilson Dickerson/Dickinson J Dunlap J Durham S C Durham J A Gimlin A Green (Possibly Avery - Delores - was Avery in Company G?) John Hurst J M Hutson W H Hutson Aaron P Jackson Anton P Jackson (may be the same as above) Goshen Jones (mentioned above) W Nave James Osburn H L Parrish W E Shelton William B/D Shields (William DeShields mentioned above) Sam M Thompson Henry Wilson G W Wiltmath (believe to be Wilmoth) Napoleon B Tibbetts/Tibbitts If anyone has information on these men, I am trying to put information together on this company. I already have quite a bit of information and would like to correspond with others who have relatives in this company. Handy and William's military papers say they enlisted in Yellville, but no date. Does anyone know when this troup was created? The information I gather on this will be posted on our Rock Fence Genealogy site for all to be able to obtain. address: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jmwtlw/index.htm You can also access this site through the Marion County and Boone County pages.

Hi I have Durham's in my family my gr grandmother was Ellender Durham married Caleb Kirk, one of these Durham's that was in this company might be related to her, I don't know her parents names would love to find out what they are , would be thankfus for any help. Erma Lee Masters in Dardanelle, Yell Co. AR reach me at judkins@cox-internet.com

I am looking for information on Caleb Kirk, married to Ellender Kirk, Martha Kirk and John W. Kirk. John W. is the son of Caleb and Ellender. They both served in the Civil War, in the Union Army. If information I have is correct, Samuel died in the war. I believe him to be the older brother of John W. Martha, if my information is correct is the sister of Samuel and John and is the daughter of Caleb and Ellender. Caleb and Ellender were granted land in Boone County, I believe in section 18, township 20N, range 18W. Martha was also granted land but I am not sure the reason. I have no information on John W. who is my great grandfather. I know he was around 17 at the time of the Civil War and have heard rumors about him but have no information other than that. I do know both survived the war and Caleb was granted the land as part of his compensation for his time served in the Army. Caleb was also accused of murder, incarcerated in Van Buren, Crawford County and the trial was moved to Sebastian County. I have not been able to get to the records in Sebastian County to find the outcome of that trial but am assuming he was acquitted. John W. was supposedly wanted by the law, for what reason I don't know but I have heard he was found, laying beside two hunting dogs, in a cabin, dead, in the mountains somewhere and was buried, by the law, at the cabin site. This is the rumors I have heard. I have information that Caleb is buried in the Enon (old) cemetery but I have not verified that. If anyone has any information about the Kirk's of Boone County, I would appreciate you sharing that information. Thank you very much, Michael R. (Kirk) Wood

Looking for information on George H. FLETCHER listed as a stepson (age 12) in the 1880 Marion F. CALLAWAY household in Boone County. Barry Fox SC

On Ancestry.com there is a 3-7-1886 marriage in Conway County, Arkansas for a Robert Gracen and Bettie Kissire. The Kissires are my family and I can't figure how Bettie fits into the family tree. Robert and Bettie Gracen had children, Emma Jane, Lizzie, Cary and Tinnie. Emma Jane Gracen b.9-6-1888 married 10-29-1910 Charles Adams Howard, son of Edward H. Howard and Saphronia/Safronia A. Snow. Does anyone know who the parents of Bettie Kissire were? Thank you. Phyllis

Dear friends, For about two years we have been working an on extensive website with history of Primitive Baptist Churches, county by county, in over thirty states, across the northern, eastern and western tier of our country. Some of these states have only sketchy information, others (such as Illinois and Iowa) are quite detailed, with lists of surnames of members which have been taken from our database of members, which now has nearly 40,000 entries. About half of these names are for Illinois. To view our website, go to the following URL: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html To go directly to the pages we are just beginning for Arkansas, go to http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-Arkansas .html We would be grateful for any assistance anyone can give us as we try to preserve our heritage, by obtaining and preserving old church records, association minutes, historical sketches, biographical sketches of ministers, photos, etc. We have very limited staff, volunteer, but will do our best to respond as time permits. Sincerely, Elder Robert Webb The Primitive Baptist Library 416 Main Street Carthage, IL 62321 ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

I am searching for all descendants of William Martin and Annie Cox. They lived in Boone county and had 13 children, may of whom continued to live in Boone County and rear their children there. The names connected to them are too numerous to write but some of the ones are Frederick, Cone, Downum, Bright, Shook, Knox, and on and on. I would love to hear from anyone who can give me a little info on any of the descendants. One lady left a message in 2001 and when I tried to reach her, it no longer was an address. I am writing a family history book and trying to include all the descendants. Thanks for any help. Susan Lane

Memoirs of Otie Jane Hughey 1897-1990 from oral interview Jan 1986 by Dolores Raines Sutton I was born Feb 7 1897 in Boone co Ark on the Newt Milum place near Lead Hill. I was the 3rd oldest child of James Langston{Lank] and Melissa Hannah Richardson. About 1903 we moved to the Bell ranch owne by Ben Reed. we stayed there until about 1906 then moved to the Jess Chaney place. My Daddy,Lank, delivered mail on horseback from Lowry to Omaha from 1902 to 1939.. he started the route riding a blind mule then bought "old Barlow' a brown horse that he rode for 30 years. In 1909 he filed on the old homestead on Bear Creek.They stayed there until my folks seperated in 1924.but didnt file for divorce until almost 20 yrs later in 1841. There is a stoy behind this.My mother and the kids still at home moved in with my Brother,Alvie,and when my Dad sent the Divorce papers Alvie tore the up and Mama never knew she was divorced. He married again in 1944 to Martha Joy Pate but divorced her 1 yr later .all of us kids thought they were just living together until the marraige and divorce records were found in 1979 at the Harrison court house.

I am looking for data on William J. Roberts b. ca 1858 and his wife Lorenda Chaney and their son Robert Justin Roberts b. 1888 and wife Nola Mae Miles. They are on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Boone Co. census in Long Creek Twp. I believe they lived near Burlington. Anyone researching Roberts or Miles?
