Would someone please look in the Cemetery book for Pleasant Hill, near Center Ridge, in Lick Mountain Township and see if they can find a Sue Keith and her son and daughter who are buried there? I would like the dates for all and the names of the children. The death dates should all be the same. Thank You. Phyllis

I am forwarding this from the Gibson County, Tennessee list. In the last line it makes reference to Pleasant Hill, Arkansas. Is/was there a town in Conway County by the name of Pleasant Hill. I know of the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Center Ridge and was wondering if there was a town there at one time. Has anyone ever heard of this Dr. J. Foresman?

My great-grandmother, Martha Ann Williams Kirkland raised a foster son. His name was Ernest Wilson and I would like to find more information on him. Does anyone know how I would do this? I believe this would have been in the early 1900s. Where and how would a person get a foster child in that time? Phyllis

THANKS to everyone who answered my question about the 1870 census. Phyllis

I have never tried to look up anything on a census and have absolutely no idea how to do this. If I wanted to look up people from Center Ridge, Conway County, Arkansas in the 1870 census, how would I do this? Where would the census be found? Thanks for any help. Phyllis

I am looking for descendants of..... Walter Isaac Wagley & Celia Ann Holmes Cornelia Wagley & Walter Lewis John Thomas Wagley James Cecil Wagley & Goldie Marie Elliott James Cecil Wagley & Flo Clark Molly Maybelle Wagley & Lawrence Tibbett Walter Fay Wagley & Atharene Allen Thanks. Phyllis

I am looking for someone who can do some research on adoptions around 1900. I have a couple of specific names and I will compensate someone to do this. If someone can do this please email at your earliest. I would imagine that a trip to the courthouse would be in order. Thanks Dennis Lacefield
