Hi Reta! I believe we corresponded before about the land grant for William P. Cantrell. A nasty bug hit my computer some time back and I lost the land grants. I cannot find them in my paper files as these files are a mess!! Could you resend them? Also, I wonder if the Dodson's could have been in SC at one time before migrating to ARK? There are a number of them in the upstate SC area. My Cantrell's were in upstate SC and western NC before removing to Boone Co. Just a thought. I am going to send that Dodson info to a cousin of mine on another line who has Dodson!! Take care! Patricia A.

Does anyone know anything about Dr. George Washington Jobe? He is my aunt's grandfather and I'd like to know more about him. I understand there was a picture of him in a Civil War magazine. Does anyone know anything about him?? If so, please send information to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mysty McPherson" <shakerag@mtnhome.com> To: <ARBOONE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 8:29 PM Subject: [ARBOONE] Fw: North Arkansas Ancestor Fair > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "James Johnston" <johnston@ipa.net> > To: <ARSEARCY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 4:16 PM > Subject: [ARSEARCY] North Arkansas Ancestor Fair > > > This is to call to your attention that there are two (2) entries in the > Arkansas Calendar of Events for the North Arkansas Ancestor Fair.

Calvin, Seabern, and Wesley Deshields (John Wesley, Marion Seabern, and Calvin DeShields/Dashiell) represented Macedonia church at the thirty fifth annual session of the Buffalo Association of Regular Primitive Baptists held with Mount Gilead Church in Newton County, Arkansas on September 8-10th 1883. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the minutes of this meeting or the minutes of the Macedonia church? Also, is there any school records before 1860? Per the Turnbo Tales, Handy DeShields had a school which they called DeShields School. Would like to know who was the teacher. Handy or Nancy could not read or write per the 1850 census.

< Luther is related to the Dodsons, the Dentons, and the Woods.> Okay....my curiosity is really peaked here as I have relations to the Dotsons and the Woods and would love to get in touch with Luther Wood! I know very little about my Wood(s) line. But my great grandmother once told me that she and her husband were distantly related. My great grandmother was Lona Ann Wood(s). She married William David Dotson, son of John Marion Dotson and France Marilla Nichols. (William D.> John M.> Edmond> William Abraham Dotson> Lambeth III> Lambeth II> Lambeth> Charles) Lona Ann Wood(s) was the daughter of George Henry Wood(s) (George> Aaron> Joseph?) and Anna Lucinda Angeline Dotson. Anna was the Daughter of John Thomas Dotson and Sarah Cradduck. John Thomas Dotson is the one I cannot unravel. There are several stories floating around about John Thomas Dotson and where he came from. Some say he and his mother came from Ireland while his dad stayed behind or died or something, others say he is related to the William Abraham Dotson line...but I have yet to find his parents or the tie in to William Abraham. These lines all moved about in the Washington, Franklin, Newton, Sebastian, Crawford Co. areas as well as Indian Territory/Oklahoma from the 1800-1900's. Anyone know anything at all about this John Thomas Dotson and his tie in to the rest of the Dotson Clan? Might he tie in to Eli Dotson's line? I am also curious to know if I tie in with Luther's Wood line. TIA! Carrie Thomas-Dominguez Lawrence, KS

Sandy, I am addressing this to you and both the Marion and Boone County List. Since there is so much I have typed, someone else may need this info too. Here is just some from the Dodson Book which I obtained a photocopy of from it's compiler Luther Wood. Luther is related to the Dodsons, the Dentons, and the Woods. This is a book which was printed of his research for his family. I found Luther and his wife well when I last visited them in about 1999. Luther is a retired school teacher and seems to be very accurate in his information. Here is a little of what I have. CHARLES DODSON, SR (b. abt 1649) in probably England. Married Ann ? in 1678-1680. Charles Sr lived in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Va. He was a large land owner which he left to his sons with the restriction they could not sell except to one another. Charles Sr was respected by his neighbors. Charles and Ann's Children: Charles Jr married Ann ? (seems unusual - same as his dad) Thomas born 15 May 1681 in Richmond, Va; married Mary Durham ca 1739-1740 Bartholomew Richard, Born Richmond, Va, married Elizabeth Clark before 1707 William (no information available John born early 1700s married Elizabeth (Lizzie) Goad about 1784 Lambeth born late 1600s in Richmond, Va, married Sarah Harris in the early 1720s Ann (no information available) Elizabeth (no information available) ~~~~~~~~~~ Lambeth Dodson was born in the late 1600s in Richmond Va and Sarah Harris who was the daughter of Philip Harris. they were married in the early 1720s. Lambeth bought 190 acres of land in old Halifax Co, Nov 11, 1749, also 400 acres June 22, 1765 and 200 acres Dec 1, 1779. Their Children: Mary - April 3, 1724 - Richmond Co., Va Ann (Nancy) born July 20, 1734 in Richmond, Va John born 1720-1730 Went to White Co, Tnn about 1789 born Richmond Co., Va Charles Lambeth, Jr married Elizabeth Daniel married Alsy about 1810 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lambeth, Jr married Elizabeth ? and He owned land in Henry Co, Va Their children: Esau born ca 1754 served in Rev. War in Burke Co, NC in 1790 Richard 1740-1750 married Mary ca 1829 Charles 1740-1750 Lambeth III married Hannah Witt before 1814 Reuben 1750s married Agnes Whitlock - Sept 10, 1804 William 1740s (he was in White Co, Tn 1820 census) born VA ~~~~~~~~ I have a typed transcription of the land grant from Tennessee Grant no 93 to William Dodson for 100 acres in White Co., Tn William Sr born late 1750s and is believe to have been married twice but no names are known. He died after 1830 in White Co., Tn and is burried in Beech Cove Cem which is 6 miles east of Bone Cove, Tn. He serve in the Rev War from Henry Co, Va. He lived in White Co, Tn in 1820 Census He bought 100 acres of land in Beech Cove area in Van Buren Co, Tn 1826 Went to White Co, Tn in 1808 Partial list of children - no daughters are known Simon born 1761-1772 in Pittsylvania Co., Va married Phoebe Hollingsworth Mar 29, 1794 died after 1833 William Jr (Bucky) born Feb 2, 1793 in Patrick, Va married Martha Frances Peck about 1818 She died Aug 9, 1879 Eli born 1798 (he had one son, Eli Jr, Went to Patrick , Va his wife died about 1828 in White Co., Tn. Daniel born 1790 - 1800 (land owner white co, tn) married before 1820 Note: have typed transcription of William "Bucky" Dodson obituary and Will I believe this is where your information starts. Since Luther's Family came from Daniel Blue Dodson who married Emaline Denton he did not trace Eli further. As far as the Cantrells. First the Cantrells owned a store in Lead Hill at one time. In my Wilmoth/Wilmouth information I have group sheets on : Isom Jasper Cantrell born Feb 8, 1856 Abner Cantrell born 1795 in Spartansburg South Carolina Thomas Cantrell born 1825 married Martha Goad I also have in my possession the ORIGINAL land grant for William P Cantrell the ORIGINAL quick claim deed for Eli Dodson and Mary A Dodson where my great great grandfather John Wesley DeShields purchased their land (Eli has the most beautiful penmanship I have seen. Mary signed too. the ORIGINAL Deed of Conveyance from William P Cantrell and Elizabeth Cantrell to James M St. John for land. the ORIGINAL land grant for Eli Dodson in 1850. I obtained these originals from the estate of John Wesley DeShields who had passed them on to his daughter Minnie DeShields Wilmoth. When John Wesley died, he had loaned money on property all over Boone County. Since the estate was "settled" most could not pay upon demand and most was written off. This is why I still have the originals. John Wesley was a carpenter and his brother was a stone mason. He was married to Frankey Green DeShields who was the daughter of Mike Green. Anyway, this is a short (?) version of what I have. If you want more on this line, email me and I will mail you what I have. If anyone else needs copies of this email me but be patient as I can be slow. Reta DeShields Parton rpsodapop@aol.com

Looking for Lucy Perry in Ark 1900. she was a widow with the following sons Noah,William, John and Mose. Dolores Raines/Sutton

I am sending this to both lists as I have just discovered my missing relative I have hunted for 20 years. Anyway, I believe it to be him. Who knows until the papers come in. Can someone help me with some military information? William D. Shields (William DeShields) died in Alton, Illinois Prison as a prisoner of war. With him was James Wilmoth. Both boys were captured in Marion Co., Arkansas. William on 12/23/1864 and James on 1/10/1865. However it says: Schnables Company; Missouri. Can anyone give me information on this company? I realize Boone/Marion counties border Missouri so this would not be that unusual. But, as I remember from my Green History, it was said that many young men were taken against their will by the Union Army. It was said that was why the grain and valuables were stored in the Cave above the DeShields Green Cemetery. Since it said James and William was captured, it is possible these are the young men the Green folklore was talking about. I was always told William died of Measles, but it says he died of Small Pox which would be very easily crossed. In December and January, 1865, was there any Union troups encamped in the Yellville/Lead Hill area? When was the courthouse burned? Any information would be helpful.

Searching for a Caroline (or Carolyn) Victoria ARNETT. She was born ca.1864 in England, came w/parents to Greene Co., MO about 1866-1870. She went to Arkansas late 1800s, possibly near Harrison.

I just discovered John M DeShields which I believe to be my great grandfather's brother, John DeShields is listed in the book, "If I should live" A history of the Sixteenth Arkansas Confederate Infantry by Mark Miller (available through Desmond Walls). I just contacted the Fayetteville Library and they had a copy and they gave me this information: Page 116 John M DeShields, Company E, Pvt/Pvt. Enlisted at Carrollton on October 19, 1861, at Carrollton. Discharged on 23 July 1862 due to disability. Can anyone tell me how I can get his military records? Also, Is Carrollton in Boone or Carroll County. And what county in 1861/62 - Marion? Was this Mitchell's troupe? I think I heard Mitchell recruited in Lead Hill/DeBuque. Did Carrollton have a newspaper at that time? If so what was the name? This is the first lead on John and would like to check it out further. It is possible he joined with his friend ?? Stone who he was working for. Any info on how to get more information would be appreciated. Reta DeShields Parton rpsodapop@aol.com
