Hi: Since Crawford Co. is right across the line from the official Indian lands - I thought I would send this along for Native American researchers. It is from a Nov 25, 1998 Ancestry.com newsletter. Regards, Nan =============== ======================================================= EASTERN CHEROKEE APPLICATIONS & NATF FORM 83: A GUIDE <<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>> ======================================================= HISTORY AND INFORMATION CONTAINED These records deserve special attention. They are often referred to as the Guion Miller rolls. Guion Miller was appointed by the United States Court of Claims to determine who was eligible to participate in a fund awarded to persons who were Eastern Cherokees at the time of the treaties of 1835-36 and 1845 or their descendants. While the majority of this group were residing in Indian Territory at the time of Miller's commission, many were also residing in North Carolina. The title of this record group is misleading in that the researcher is led to believe that the records pertain only to the Eastern Cherokee Tribe of North Carolina. Miller submitted his report and roll on 28 May 1909 and a supplementary report in 1910. The "Guion Miller Report and Exhibits, 1908-1910," in twenty-nine volumes, consists of ten volumes of transcripts of testimony, arranged chronologically; a report dated 5 January 1910 concerning exceptions to findings; a printed copy of the completed roll with two 1910 supplements; and copies of the Drennen, Chapman, and "Old Settlers" rolls of 1851-52, with a consolidated index for the Chapman and Drennen rolls and a separate index for the old settlers roll. The volumes are arranged numerically as parts of classified file "33931-11-053 Cherokee Nation," which also contains other pertinent records. Between 1906 and 1909, more than 45,000 claimants submitted applications providing detailed information of their families. A typical application includes the applicant's English name, Indian name (if any), residence, date and place of birth, marriage status, name of husband or wife, parents' names, their places of birth and residence in 1851, and dates of death; names and dates of birth and death of brothers and sisters; names of paternal and maternal grandparents and their children, their places of birth and residence in 1851, and the name of the ancestor from whom they claimed to have descended. WHERE ARE THE RECORDS? The applications have been microfilmed by NARA as M1104 at: http://www.ancestry.com/nara/micropub/m1104.htm They have been arranged by application number. NARA has posted graphic images of the index to application numbers online. If you have the application number, you may buy or rent the microfilm from NARA or other sources, or may order a paper copy of the application from NARA using NATF Form 83.

I am searching for more info on and the ancestors of Matthew Lee DEAN. Born: 1858-1878 Chattanooga TN Married: 1889-1922 to Emma Ruth HUGHES Died: 1955 Sallisaw OK Possible mother's family name BUXTON. Possible uncle Horace DEAN, who lived 100 miles east of Van Buren. Lived in Ft. Smith, Van Buren and/or Sadyville, Arkansas. Had 7 sons (Ben, Lester, Robert, Andrew, Walter, Fred, Curtis) and 2 daughters (Lola, Ruth). Does any of this sound familiar? Not sure about many of these facts. I'll appreciate any corrections! Also interested in BOYD and ENLOW families of Crawford County.
Hi all , I am looking for a Census record for George Sims Lock(e) b. 1849 Ky He may have been living in either Crawford County Arkansas or in Collin County Texas . I have been unable to find him myself and I have looked :) For anyone who is related to Lock or Locke , I have Census Records transcribed on my web site for viewing . http://members.aol.com/LOCKEroot1/census.html Thanks ! Donald Locke http://members.aol.com/LOCKEroots/
In researching my Lock(e)'s , descendants of Washington Henry Lock(e) . Recent information has been found on Frances Annie Lock a Daughter? of Washington Henry Lock . Frances Annie Lock married Edward R. Brewer . Edward and Frances were listed as living in Crawford County Arkansas in 1870 Census , so I looked in the Lock(e) Census records and found 2 possible Lock(e)'s who maybe related to Frances . CRAWFORD COUNTY ARKANSAS 1870 G. F. Lock , Van Buren Twp , #250 ( have not transcribed this record yet , this maybe the same record as G.H.

Lock , age 8 , b. Ark <~~ Note , born in Ark Son , Geo. W. Lock , age 5 , b. Tx Son , Thos. A. Lock , age 3 , b. Tx ( is my Great Great Grand Father ) George Sims Lock , in this census it says that 2 of his children were born in Arkansas about 1870 & 1872 but I had searched the 1870 Arkansas Census and never did find a G.S. Lock(e) listed . I am now wondering if this G.H. Lock and G.F. Lock in Crawford County Ark 1870 could be related to Frances Annie Lock Brewer . G.F. Lock just might be G.S. Lock ? I compared the children's names listed under G.H. Lock and there are some names and dates that are very very simular to the children of Washington Henry Lock . Looking at the Children of G.H. Lock , he had 2 children that caught my eye : *Jacob Lock age 7 and *O.B Lock , female age 16 . Washington Henry Lock b. 1803 , had a Son named Jacob Monroe Lock b. 1863 and a Daughter named Ophelia Bell Lock b. 1859 So because I now know that Frances Annie Lock and her Husband Edward R. Brewer were in Crawford County Ark in 1870 , this is where I am going to focus my attention to see if I can find Washington Henry Lock or his Son , George Sims Lock in Crawford County Ark . Note : Frances Annie Lock & Edward R. Brewer were living in Collin County Texas in 1860 and in Crawford County Arkansas in 1870 and in both Census records there was a G. F. Lock listed , so surely G.F. Lock is some how related to Frances Annie (Lock) Brewer . 1860 Collin County Texas Census Precinct No.9 in the county of Collin of Texas, enumerated on the 19th day of July 1860. Post Office: Weston.

Lisa: I found the info below on Ancestry.com I am not certain why the record belows says History of Benton County. I found my Hinds mentioned in the same database of Benton Co. and yet he was in Van Buren which was always Crawford Co. I don't know in which county Mansfield is located. The original land application records may have more info to help you concerning this family. The BLM search page is: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/toc.htm Regards, Nan Wolf - -------------------------------- iN THE hISTORY OF nORTHWESTERN aRKANSAS History of Benton County MANSFIELD. This town is situated at the present terminus of the Mansfield branch of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, and at the corner between Townships 4 and 5 north, and Ranges 30 and 31 west. A portion of it lies in Scott County. It was surveyed and laid out in July, 1887, by John P. Hely, C. E., for the railroad company, and J. W. Harper. The latter was the original proprietor of the land on which the town is located, but sold 100 acres to the railroad company before the town was laid out. Mansfield is in plain sight of and only two miles distant from Huntington. The first business house in the town was built in October, 1887, by J. W. Harper, and the same month D. B. Johnson opened the first store in the place. Soon thereafter McKamey & Bonham and S. E. Smith opened their stores. Other enterprises soon followed, more buildings were erected, and the new town has already grown to contain the following business houses: General merchandise, D. B. Johnson, S. E. Smith, McKamie & Bonham, J. R. Frazier, J. R. Lane; groceries, Charles Humphrey, Parks & Bryan, B. Robinson; drugs, George Remley, T. B. Richardson; millinery, Mrs. F. J. Weymouth & Co.; livery, Thomas F. Martin; blacksmith and wagon shop, William Harp & Co.; planing mill, JAMES SLOAN; hotels, Barnett House, by T. B. Barnett, Frisco House, by C. H. Hackett; boarding houses, by Thomas Cherry, William Morris; sewing machines, W. O. Martin. In addition to the foregoing Hart & Hodges have a steam power flouring and grist-mill and cotton-gin; George E. Otis & Co. are wholesale dealers in flour, salt and all heavy produce; James W. Harper deals in cotton and real estate, and Jesse Martin is a farmer and real estate agent. ====================================================== Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northeast Arkansas LAWRENCE COUNTYPETTIOD OF SETTLEMENTTHE MOUND BUILDERSBOUNDARY OF THE COUNTY TOPOGRAPHYRIVERS OR CREEKSTIMBER, SOIL AND PRODUOTSMINERALS AND OTHER RESOURCESLIVE STOOKTAXABLESPOPULATIONRAILROADSLEGAL MATTERS THE CIVIL WARSCHOOL AFFAIRSCHURCH STRENGTHTHE COUNTY CREATEDITS OFFICERS, BUILDINGS AND SEAT OF JUSTICE POLITICAL STATISTICSTOWNS AND VILLAGES PERSONAL NOTICES. page 822 Clay Sloan, circuit court clerk, Powhatan, was born in Lawrence County, Ark., Angust 20, 1861. He comes of a family who have made Arkansas their home for a great many years, his father, JAMES F. SLOAN, having been reared in the same county and State, as also his mother, Margaret J. (Raney) Sloan. The older Sloan was, for the greater portion of his life, a prominent merchant of Powbatan, and was one of the most progressive men in commercial circles in that city up to the time of his death, in 1873. His wife still survives him, and is now married to M. D. Baber, an attorney of Powhatan. Mr. Clay Sloan attained his maturity in Lawrence County, and in his youth received a thorough education at Arkansas College, Batesville, Ark. He completed his full course at college in 1881, and was then engaged in teaching [p.822] at Powhatan until the year 1886. His abilities having been tested and recognized by this time, he was elected to the position which he now occupies, and in 1888 was re-elected to the same office. Mr. Sloan also filled the office of county examiner from 1884 to 1886, a position in whieh his actions were reflected with credit. He is a Democrat in politics and is strong in his support of the principles of that party. In the month of October, 1888, Mr. Sloan was captivated by and married to Miss Katie Matthews, a daughter of B. F. Matthews, and they are as happy as two people can be who have made a wise selection in the lottery of life. They are both members of the Old School Presbyterian Church, and are held in high esteem by their neighbors. ================================================== Control Number: NRFF-75-53A-17629 Unit of Description: Item Record Group Number: 75 Series ID: 53A Item ID: 17629 Title: Enrollment for James E Sloan General Materials Designator Record Type: Textual Records Reference Unit: National Archives--Southwest Region Agency Name: National Archives and Records Administration Facility Name: Building 1, Dock 1 Address: 501 West Felix Street City: Fort Worth State: TX Zip Code: 76115 Telephone Number: 817-334-5525 Fax Number: 817-334-5621 Organizational Code: NRFF Creating Organization: Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes, Bureau of Indian Affairs.

My great grandmother, Mrs. John P. Purkhiser (Julia Catherine Cheek) committed suicide on May 8, 1886 at her residence just outside Mountainburg, AR. She left 5 underaged children and a husband. I would like to locate an obituary on this tragic occurrence as well as to find where she may have been buried. Any information/direction greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jerry Forman
Looking for more information about the time my ancestor lived in Alma, Crawford Co., Arkansas. His names was James Franklin Sloan, born abt. 1837 in Edmonson, Co., KY. His wife was Celia Shaffer Sloan. Their two oldest children were born in Hart Co., KY, Nora in 1870 and Patti in 1874. Their two sons were born in Crawford Co., ARK., Walter in 1877 and Wallace in 1881. They are listed in the 1880 census. They moved to Young Co., Texas in 1892. From deduction, they must have moved to Crawford Co. ARK. between 1874 and 1877 and as far as I know must have lived there until 1892. I am very interested in finding out more about this almost 20 year period of their lives. James Franklin's occupation on the KY census in 1870 was listed as cabinet maker. Has anyone come across their names in any county histories, land records, church records, etc. or do you have any suggestions as to the best places to look. Thanks in advance for any help.

Crawford County Crowd: Thanks to those of you who responded to my posting. I have passed on your responses to my friend and her father. Because of your generosity, they will be able to find the cemetery PLUS visit with some people who remember his family. When I spoke to him yesterday afternoon, his voice broke as he described his mother's funeral and his Arkansas ties. He is almost 86 years old. I wish I could do something for each of you in return. All I can do before unsubscribing from this list is promise to help someone else some time and offer look-up services in the 4 Arkansas related books that I have: 1. A Southern Branch of the Lawrence Familiy 2nd ed by William Lawrence Pritchett (Many of the Lawrences settled in Stone Co AR) 2. Genealogies of Marion County Families 1811-1900 compiled & edited by Vicki A. Roberts and Mysty T. McPherson, publ by the Historic Genealogical Society of Marion County Arkansas 3. Isaac Branscum His Ancestors & His Children by Frederick B. Tubbs, published in 1996 (Searcy & Stone counties) 4. Descendants of James Jackson Barnes Sr. and Wives, edited by Grover C. Barnes. (Searcy County) Just contact me directly if you think I can help. Signing off now. Maryn Price Goodson [email protected]

Hello, My friend is bringing her elderly father to AR for a final visit. He is pretty sure his mother is buried in a cemetery in/near Rudy. A few answers might make her trip easier: 1. Is there more than one cemetery in/near Rudy? 2. Have Rudy cemeteries been inventoried? 3. If so, where can one get a copy? 4. Does anyone know of a Goldsmith family around Rudy, Alma, Van Buren? (Some married into a Riddle/Underwood tribe.) 5. We are particularly interested in one N.C. Goldsmith and his family. My friend's father is J.D. Goldsmith, a retired Baptist minister who lived in Kansas for a while. Has been on the East coast for quite a while now. Any help/hints greatly appreciated.

Hi: I am cleaning out my In Basket and came across this Kids Report from Feb that I thought might interest the researchers that had ancestors in the Civil War. This Report is made and reviewed by children. I'm including the info on how to subscribe in case you have a student in the house or are a teacher. Every bi-weekly issue has a different topic. There is also an adult Scout Report that features very interesting sites. Here is the Civil War info below.

CivilWar.com http://www.civilwar.com CivilWar.com is a very professional and well-made site that contains rich content and everything there is to know about the Civil War. The site contains a lot of information including a timeline, a database of the people who fought in the Civil War, information on many different battles, photographs and artwork of the time period, and historical documents. The site also includes a forum where the public can share their views on the Civil War. The site has won many awards with some of the most notable being USA Today's Hotpick of the Day and the 1998 Civil War in Minature Historic Site Award. The site is easy to navigate via the always present menu bar and the information is presented in a visually pleasing format. The creators provide links to Amazon.com where they have listed some of the best books about the Civil War. CivilWar.com is an outstanding site for anybody who wants to learn about the Civil War. The information and format of the site is fairly complex, yet very useful for people who know how to use it. We would therefore recommend it for junior high level students and above. Reviewed by Brian Z. and Mike 2. Selected Civil War Photographs http://rs6.loc.gov/ammem/cwphome.html If you want an overall view of the Civil War from a neutral perspective this page is for you. There is a search engine on this site that allows you to search through a database of over 1,100 pictures including many by or under the supervision of Matthew Brady, one of America's greatest photographers. Every aspect of the war is shown in these pictures. We recommend this page for ages twelve and up because of the amount of complex information. This site is accurate and has reliable information; it was made by the Library of Congress as part of the American Memory collection. Reviewed by Adam and Mike 3. The American Civil War Homepage http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/ The American Civil War Homepage gathers together hypertext links to the best Civil War sites. The links are easy to find and they are categorized. The author of this site, Dr. George Hoemann, has been studying the Civil War for many years. The site is written very well, and it is well organized. You can get around and do everything very easily. We would recommend it for children of all ages who are willing to learn. Reviewed by Tom, Greg, and Dustin 4. War for Southern Independence http://www.qns.com/~williams/ When looking for real-life accounts of the Civil War, this Website is a great source of information. At this site most of the data is gathered from actual diaries, magazines, and newspapers, so the information is guaranteed to be factual. Although this site is written from the South's point-of-view, it is still good for factual information about northern events. Not only does the site have interesting information but it is easy to get around as well. I would recommend this site for ages 10 and up. Reviewed by Janelle 5. Aboard the Underground Railroad http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/underground What part did the Underground Railroad play during the Civil War? Well, if you want to find out, this is the site for you. It tells all about escaped slaves taking the train to freedom. This is a wonderful site for people of all ages. The information is excellent and easy to access. It has extremely nice pictures, maps, and graphs. This site was created by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers. Reviewed by Rachel and Devon 6. The Underground Railroad http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/99/railroad/ This site allows you to go on the journey to the North from a slave's point of view and follow their path as they try to escape from their southern bondage. You can "visit safe houses which Harriet Tubman actually used" and see pictures. There are maps of her actual routes and information describing how she traveled them. This site is very informative and I recommend it for K-12 students. If this site interests you, let your teacher know about it and they can easily make a lesson from the lesson planning section. Reviewed by Adam 7. The Valley of the Shadow http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/vshadow2/cwhome.html If you enjoy stories and information about the Civil War, you will like this site. This site was created by Edward Ayers and William Thomas, both professors of history at the University of Virginia. We recommend this site for ages 12 and up. There are many articles and graphics on the Civil War in Augusta and Franklin counties, Virginia. This site also contains diaries from actual soldiers in the Civil War. We feel the battle maps and the information on the battles taught us facts about what the war was like from the soldiers' perspective. This site contains very educational information. We enjoyed it very much. Reviewed by Lisa and Andy 8. First Battle of Bull Run July 1861 http://californiacentralcoast.com/commun/map/civil/bullrun.html This site is very good for information on the Battle of Bull Run in Virginia and many other battles of the Civil War. The site has a map for each state's battles. It also has many original black and white photographs of the battle sites. The site is very organized and easy to find your way around in. I recommend this site for middle school aged students and up. Reviewed by Heather 9. The Apotheosis Of Robert E. Lee http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/LEE/Lee.html We recommend the site, "The Apotheosis Of Robert E. Lee." It isn't the most attractive site but it does have other great qualities. The site is well organized and it is filled with pictures and great poems about General Lee. It is an excellent site because it focuses on the fact that even though the South lost the war, they still thought highly of General Robert E. Lee. It was created by Alex Lesman and Courtney Danforth in connection with Virginia University. This is a good site to view to get the opinions of many authors of poetry about Robert E. Lee and his great successes. Reviewed by Lindsay and Brian 10.

Hi: I go to major efforts to send gedcoms that don't include my generation or below. Here is an article in an Eastman Online Newsletter that approaches that PRIVACY problem. It is dated July 1998 but is still apropo. The best part - it is FREEWARE. Mr. Eastman gives permission at the end of his newsletters to copy his articles as long as we give his newsletter the credit. Nan ===================================== >From Dick Eastman's Online Geneal. Newsletter July 1998 GEDCLEAN by AFSkybelle (EDITOR'S NOTE: With all the discussion about the availability of GEDCOM on the internet and issues of right to privacy of living individuals, AFSKybelle's research provides some timely advice!) I looked at the Web site for the GEDClean program. The GEDClean home page is: http://members.aol.com/tomraynor2/gedclean.htm Tom Raynor, the author of the program states: "GEDClean is an attempt to automate the process of 'cleaning' the personal information about living individuals from a GEDCOM file containing genealogical data. "If you share genealogical data with other people, you very often save it in GEDCOM format so that other people or programs can use it. But if you are sharing it with strangers, especially if you are putting it somewhere that anyone on the Web can access it, you will probably make your living relatives very unhappy if you include personal details about them. "So, you need a way to 'clean' all that personal data out of your GEDCOM file before you send it or convert it to HTML. That's where GEDClean comes in. "GEDClean is FREEWARE "GEDClean is Copyrighted software that, with few limitations, may be used without charge; in other words, freeware. More information is available in the Help file included with the program. But basically, you should not sell this product. You can share it, if you keep all the original files together, unchanged, but you should not charge anyone for it (beyond any reasonable copying expense reimbursement.)" AFSKybelle continues: At Cyndi's Genealogy Home Page Construction Kit site http://www.cyndislist.com/construc.htm, she lists 4 programs that will do about the same thing. I haven't checked the others. 1. GEDClean http://members.aol.com/tomraynor2/gedclean.htm 2. GEDLiving http://www.rootsweb.com/~gumby/ged.html 3. GEDPrivy http://members.aol.com/gedprivy/index.html 4.

I'm looking for descendants of William Harvey, my great grandfather. This is the 1900 census entry for his family in Crawford Co.AR, Dora Township: William Harvey b. May 1847 53 IL VA OH Louisa Harvey b. Sept 1857 43 IL IL IL married 25 years 10 ch/9 living Bessie Harvey July 1881 IL IL IL Effie Harvey Feb 1883 IL IL IL Rebecka Harvey July 1886 IL IL IL Phinus Harvey Mar 1882 AR IL IL--the birth date probably was 1892 James Harvey Aug 1894 AR IL IL (my grandfather) Joseph Harvey July 1895 AR IL IL Thell Harvey July 1899 AR IL IL Seven children are listed in the census, the other two are unknown. Rebecka was called "Beck" and occasionally there was mention of Phinus (Finis) and Thell, but no one knows anything about them. My grandfather lost track of his family over the years so I don't know where his siblings went or who they married. Neither do I know where Louisa Harvey died or is buried. She may have lived with a daughter or son. I haven't been able to find out anything about my grandpa's mother in later years. The Harveys came from Jefferson Co.IL and Louisa's father was Green More Cornstuble, actually it was Constable in early records. I have more inforamtion about the Harveys at my webpages http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/minogues/136/. Any help tracking down these family members would be greatly appreciated!
