My father just informed myself and another family researcher that when his father died in 1941 he left a will. My dad was only 9 years old at the time, so doesn't know what really was in the will. How could I go about getting a copy of this will or finding out if there really was one? My grandfather's name was Elbert Lee (Jack) Householder he died August 23, 1941. When he died he left 4 orphaned children, plus 2 step-sons who were older. Thank you for any help you can give me. Linda Corman famtree@cyberz.net ICQ# 18502936

I checked the 1860 census, there were 4 William Leonards in AR. If you think any of these might be important to you, I'll look further and get back to you. Oh yes, one was in Pope Co, one Van Buren Co, a Lafayette Co and a Jackson Co. One Margaret Shaver in Randolph Co. This may have been too early for them. Let me know if you want this info. Dona

Can you post that we are searching that name?

Does anyone have a cemetary book that includes Hitt Cemetary in Success, or know where I could look for one? I'm trying to find out if any of my relatives were buried there. I went out there but couldn't read a lot of the headstones. I think my great grandfathers name was Alex Allen and all I know is that he lived in Success for a little while. Thanks Alicia

I am not sure I know how to reply directly to http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Clay. Hopefully this information will get to the right person. There was a Nelma Lee b. abt 1930, a sister Doll b. abt 1933 and a brother ? Lee in Knobel. Doll married Bob Cochran-member of Corning mayor family. Kay C Asher kfrances@bscn.com of Corning is a Cochran and may be able to help. I hope this helps. Phil Di

I am searching for parents of Thomas Calhoun White, or any White family that lived in Clay county in 1900-1936 when our branch, Elihu White left Arkansas for Oregon. other related lines are Dodson, Harkness, Holt, Bates. I have info on Bates family and will share. Thanks Judy

William Henry appeared in Clay County, AR, after 1889 but before 1896. He worked in timber and later was a farmer.
