Hi! Thank you for this reply. It explains a lot. My problem now will be to find where John Carr's 40 acres were located. The maps on the Carroll County site and the BLM site don't give a reference to my John Carr. I'll definitely keep pushing! Robert Schneider > > 1. Re: William J.

>> My question concerning this is, are there land records >> in Carroll County from the 1850s? When I checked the >> LDS microfilm catalog, I didn't see Carroll County >> land records from the 1850s. The Carroll Co. court burned in the fall of 1869 and took all county records with it, however, some land records (such as homestead and bounty land) were actually federal land records and would have been in the federal land office, not the county courthouse. Federal land records held at the Federal Land offices usually do still exist. Also, many land owners had original land records in their possession (the land records at the courthouse are actually legal copies made from an orginal record), and these land owners took their records to the courthouse and refiled the legal record after the courthouse burned. The dates of filing would be after 1869, but contained in the record you can usually find the date and details of when and how the land owner came into posession of the property. Also, the first time after 1869 when legal title to the land transfered, whether it was sold or passed to the heirs in an estate, there had to be a record made at the county level to satisfy ownership proof. So the answer to the question are there Carroll Co. land records prior to the 1869 courthouse fire date is maybe. It is alway worth a look see in the records. Very often if you search forward in the county land records you can at least find who owned the land before the first sale of the property after 1869.

If you go to _www.topozone.com_ (http://www.topozone.com) and search on Eureka Springs, you can see the same townships overlayed on the topographical map along with actual streets and land marks, even though the map is not current. I haven't looked at google earth. I don't know if it has overlayed townships or not. Phillip In a message dated 11/1/2007 9:43:07 P.M.

The map you are looking at is the township with Eureka Springs in the center, but you do not know which section the Popplewell's property was actually in without getting the detail from the BLM website telling which part of which section they owned. The BLM website says the legal land description is NWSW 9/ or the NW quarter of the SW quarter of section 9. Section 9 (the red 9) on the map is the NW part of Eureka Springs about 1/4th of which is in the city limits. The SW quarter of section 9 is exactly what it says, "the SW quarter". The NW quarter of that part is exactly what it says. This best represents the 40 acres that they owned. If you know a good real estate agent they can explain it on the map. Understanding this type of information is necessary in passing the test for a real estate license in most states. Hope this helps. Phillip In a message dated 11/1/2007 6:54:38 P.M.

Several years ago I was fortunate enough to purchase a plat map of the township and ranges in Madison County. There were such books for some of the other counties, but the person who did the books filed a copyright and no one knows how to reach him (if he is still living) to get permission to reprint the books. I have not looked for property in Carrol County. I have been advised the the best current source for propery location is the 911 maps printed for emergency responders to use. You might check for those maps and inquire if they have the information you need. Good Luck with your search.

I'm new to this list. I just recently discovered that my 4th gr grandfather, John Carr, applied for a land bounty from Carroll County, AR. He served in the Cherokee Removal in the 1830s and that was the basis for his land application. His first application was made in Feb., 1853. His second application was made in 1855. His second application was aided by Bradley Bunch of Berryville. My question concerning this is, are there land records in Carroll County from the 1850s? When I checked the LDS microfilm catalog, I didn't see Carroll County land records from the 1850s. Second question concerns William J. Carr. If anyone out there is researching William Carr, does he have a relation with John Carr? Here is why I ask this. My 4th gr grandfather was probably born around 1800, in South Carolina. He lived in Jackson County, AL from about 1820 until 1852. William J. Carr was born in 1806, in South Carolina. His wife was Mary Wright, born in Alabama. Two of their children were born in Alabama. I'm not sure of the location in Alabama. William can be found in the 1850 and 60 censuses. He also can be found in 1870 under the name Care. Here are a few other facts about the John Carr family. John's wife was Nancy Taylor. When the family left Alabama, they passed through southeast IL because my third gr grandfather George W. Carr stayed there along with his sister Nancy and brother in law John Abner Spence. Initially, they lived in Stonefort, Saline County, IL. John Carr, his wife Nancy, along with son Elihu and daughter Bethany moved on to the MO/AR area. Nancy and the two kids can be found in Stone County, MO in 1860, 1870. Elihu can be found in Stone in 1880. Strangely, John Carr can be found in Stonefort, Saline County, IL in the 1860 census, living with daughter Nancy and son in law John Abner Spence. I'd be glad to discuss this with other researchers out there. I have other info I could provide.

Sorry, I don't have anything on the Holmans. There was also a James Qualls living near John Snow, Sr. in Rhea Co., TN in 1830. He was John's son-in-law and did migrate to Carroll Co. before 1850 with many of John's other sons and daughters. Phillip In a message dated 8/24/2007 2:46:24 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: On the 1830 census for Hamilton Co., Tennessee there are William Holman (spelled Holeman), William Qualls and James Qualls, all living in close proximity to one another. Does anyone know if this William Holman is the same one who came to Carroll Co. between 1830-1840? He has five daughters all aged under 15 years, which comports nicely with what little is known of William's family. He also has two sons, one under 5 and the other between 10-15.
