There has been a major problem with certain lists on Rootsweb since last Friday. I am not sure how this list is going to be effected by the crashed server at Rootsweb, you were not one directly effected. The server is up and running again and I have a favor to ask each of you. If you begin receiving a large amount of messages that have backed up in the system since last Friday. Please be understanding, USE YOUR DELETE KEY, yelling and screaming will not stop it. I am holding on for dear life. I will have messages coming to me from 171 mailing lists hitting me all at once along with bouncing messages and messages from those of you asking for help. Together we will get through this and look back on this day as the "Day of the Rootsweb Flood", and laugh. If you have asked to be unsubscribed, that request was most likely never received. Please understand that even if I unsubscribe you now, I cannot stop what you are going to receive. If the lists do not look the same, meaning the headers are gone. I will bo back and take care of that when this flood is over. Good luck and I look forward to getting back to normal when the sun is again shinning. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Please forgive. My system went crazy and it sent out duplications of each message to several of the mailing lists. I am almost afraid to send out an apology and have it just do the same thing again. :( I sat here and watched it happened and did not know what to do to stop it. Talk about feeling out of control.

As you can see, the lists are getting busier now that the holidays are over. Just a few suggestions to make them smoother. If you see a posting come across the list asking to be unsubscribed or asking for help in any area that I deal with, know that I am taking care of it behind the scenes and you don't need to worry about it. If you post a query, try to put the surname in the subject line in CAPS and add dates if possible. Just keep in mind, we do have list members who delete the postings by only reading what is in the subject line, and never reading the body of the message. If you have a problem with a posting, meaning you think it should not have been posted. Please do not send your remarks to the entire list. Let me know your concerns and I will take care of it if I have not already. If you need me, to help you in anyway, you can reach me at [email protected] I thank each of you for your continued support of this list and your willingness to help one another. I continually am in awe of the generosity of genealogical researchers. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Posted on: Calhoun Co. Ar Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Calhoun/194 Surname: NUTT, STANTON ------------------------- Benjamin Harrison STANTON married Mary Preston DEDMAN NUTT ca. 1864 in Calhoun County, Arkansas. Mary was the widow of William Nutt (1833-1862). Mary and William had four children: Missouri Isabella Nutt b. ca. 1855; Sampson Nutt b. ca 1858; Frances B. Nutt b. ca. 1859 and Martha E. J. Nutt born ca. 1863. Martha E. J. Nutt was conceived before her father died and was born after his death. This will help you flesh out the census information above. I don't have any more on Mary's second husband B.H. Stanton. But thought your research might benefit from this information.

Also, just a thought,..because there are 'no more Stantons' listed on this year census in this county, you may want to try Tennessee, since this is where they seem to have come from. Hope this helps!

Patricia, I do not have all of the children of Benjamin and Temperance, but I can tell you that Temperance had a sister who resided in Calhoun County. Her name was Susannah Rice and she married Jolly Atkins. They had a son named Zenus Atkins who married Mary Turner (Jeptha Turner's sister) and he died during the Civil War leaving her with three children. Here is what I have on William and Elizabeth's family: William Lafayette Thomason b. 26 Jan 1847 d. 8 Aug 1934 Calhoun Co., Ar. Buried in Earnest Cemetery. He married Elizabeth Jane Earnest Turner (widow of Jeptha Turner) on 4 Dec 1867 Calhoun County, Ar. Elizabeth was b. 9 Nov 1836 Walker Co., Al. d. 17 Sep 1923 Calhoun Co., Ar. Buried in Earnest Cemetery. She was the daughter of Robert B. Earnest and Susannah Cobb. Children of William and Elizabeth were: 1) Banjamin Lafayette Thomason b. 8 Dec 1868 Calhoun Co., Ar. d. 5 Jun 1930.

Posted on: Calhoun Co. Ar Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Calhoun/191 Surname: Thomason, Earnest ------------------------- William Lafayette Thomason and Elizabeth Jane Earnest's children were from a different line of Thomason's than the ones related to the Cates family. William's parents were Benjamin Thomason and Temperance Rice. I have information on the children of William and Elizabeth (I am a direct descendant of Elizabeth and her first husband, Jeptha Turner). Be glad to share with you.

Posted on: Calhoun Co. Ar Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Calhoun/190 Surname: Thomason ------------------------- I was a Thomason from Calhoun Co., ARK. Noticed that you said Cicero Cates associated with the Brumleys and THOMASONS. Am trying to piece together Thomason information. My grandfather was THOMAS ALEXANDER THOMASON from Tinsman, worked at the Warren lumber mill. He was one of Elizabeth Jane EARNEST TURNER's 12 children (father was WILLIAM LAFAYETTE THOMASON). Would appreciate any info about Thomasons. Unless I'm "disremembering" I went to school with Jimmy and Donny Cates in Harrell during the 1950's.

Most of the family lived in Calhoun Co., Dallas Co.,.

I have just heard about a new website has gone online at Rootsweb.com I just check it out and it loads slowly but there is a lot of great data on it. Anyone with ties to the Frisco Rail Road will want to check it out! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~veregge/ This gentlemen "rescued" these Frisco RR employment records as they were on their way to the landfill in the 1970's as the railroad was changing their method of record keeping. (He will fill you in on the story if you like!) These files range from 1895 - WWII with approx. 250 names now posted, and nearly 100 more to come. He says if you find a relative, he will "pass these papers on to you" for simple fee of postage & handling (the originals?) I hope this is a good as it sounds. Kathleen Burnett List Mom
