If you go to familysearch.org you will find several John W Curry's in and around Magnolia,Columbia County, Arkansas. One of John Curry's sons married a first cousin to me, she was a Dodson daughter of Martin Dodson son of Joseph P and Jane Adeline Sutton Dodson. I think she is still alive and living in a nursing home in Magnolia In a message dated 2/4/2013 11:43:17 A.M.

I was wondering what you might know about their son Fred. He was a good friend of my Grandfathers. Also his first cousin. Marys youngest brother was my great grandfather. William Bryant Chamblee. I still own several things that belonged to him. Also, did she go by Mary? I have a letter dated 1872 from either her or her sister Malena, and can't make sense of the signature.

The other repeating Herron names are Nancy, Elijah, Sarah A, Edmond, and Benjamin. Would love to get your info as am now researching all area Herron's. I have also seen her last name listed as Memes.

She was born in 1911. She married Thurman Henry Hinson around 1933. She is still alive at 101! Her father died during a tornado when she was 6mos old. From what i have been told there was a scandal about her father being married to several women at the same time. He was a Doctor and traveled so the wives were in different counties. My grandmother had 7 children, all still living but one. You may contact me for more information. Leah Boswell Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Facts you should know about the early census records - All census records [1790 - 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female. NO specific age was stated for any family member NO place of birth was stated - city, state, or country NO city, town, or village is stated - only the county; however some census takers listed the township NO street address was stated NO marital status was stated - single, married, widowed, or divorced NO family relationship was stated - brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc. NO occupation was stated NO parental birthplaces are stated NO race was stated [but assume "white"] 1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces. Step children are not enumerated as "step" children Adopted children are not enumerated as "adopted" Grand children are not enumerated as "grand children" Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan" 1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members 1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships NEED DOB's birthplaces for ALL family members listed in this message....
