Lavonna, Freedom Cemetery is about 8 miles from Chester, AR and it is a neat place. It is a rough road (gravel) and takes about 15-20 minutes to get there from the town of Chester. I was there 2 years ago. Vontrece in North CA [email protected] wrote: > Subject: > > ARCRAWFO-D Digest Volume 98 : Issue 34 > > Today's Topics: > #1 cemeteries [[email protected]] > #2 Crawford Co.

I would like to have some help with two marriage look-ups if anyone has the records and the time. James Reed and Emily. They are in Van Buren, Arkansas in 1870 census with one child born in 1869. Emily (ARK) was 22 and James (TN) was 24. I think they were married somewhere in Crawford county before 1869 when they had their first child. Since Emily was 22 in 1870, they were probably married between sometime in the mid to late 1860's. I wish I could find a marriage record that would give me Emily's last name. It is possible that they were not married in Crawford, but in another county in Arkansas. I have looked for marriage records before and couldn't it. I worry that Emily is a nickname or middle name. I would like to find all of the records for any James Reed married in Crawford (maybe in Arkansas) in the 1860's. Marriage of James Reed and Martha E. (from Il.) James Reed was remarried to Martha E. by the 1880 census -- still living in Van Buren, Crawford county. Martha and James' first child was born in 1877 or 1876 so I assume that they were married between 1871 and 1876. I think they were married in Crawford county. I would greatly appreciate help. Thanks.

I am at a dead end on a family in Crawford county and need to hire a researcher. I have found the following: 1870 census, Crawford county, Van Buren James Reed (24) -- born Tenn. wife -- Emily (22) -- born Arkansas (later census says Ind. Terr.) Son -- James P. (1) -- born Arkansas 1880 census Crawford county, James Reed (34) new wife Martha son -- James (11) daughter-- Lillian Jane ("Lilly) born 1871. 2 other sons with new wife Martha. Lillian Jane's mother was Emily. Emily then died between 1871 and 1876. I do not have any information about Emily -- other than she was part Cherokee Indian -- probably 1/2. I want to hire a researcher to try and find out information about Emily. Her maiden name -- her parents names (I think they came west on the Trail of Tears) when she died and where she is buried. When and where James and Emily were married? Other related information I know: James P. "Pink" Reed -- Emily and James' son married Matilda in 1890 in Yell County, Arkansas. Children of James and Matilda: Walter Reid 1/1891 born Arkansas, Roy Reid 8/1894 born Arkansas. James and Matilda moved to near Tahlequah, Oklahoma (Lowrey) around 1899 and lived there. Lillian Jane (Lilly) Reed -- my great grandmother-- married Marion Sylvestor York in Russelville (Gala Rock) in 1890. Marion Sylvestor York and his brother owned a cotton gin in Russellville. Lilly and M. S. York moved to Tahlequah around 1899 also and lived there until they died. Please email me if this is a job you would like to undertake. Also please tell me your research rates. Thank you. Judee

My great , Benjamin Levi Morgan, was a member of the RHEMY or REMY Masonic Lodge. Could anyone tell me if this was a lodge in Crawford or Franklin Co. in the 1880-1900 time period. That was the time period that he lived in those counties. Could the RHEMY/REMY lodge have been in Washington Co., AR since he lived in that county during the 1870's. Thank you, Paul R.L. Vance

John: You probably have looked at this already - but just in case - the LDS Family History Library has a film about the people of Georgia Ridge. If you haven't looked at it - use the surname browse in the Family History Catalog CD and punch in Georgia Ridge as a surname - that should find it. Nan

I am currently reasearching the lines CHASTAIN and KINCY OF "Georgia Ridge" (Vine Praire area). I have a good deal of material on the following lines from Georgia Ridge: ABEL, ADAMS, CHASTAIN, FERGUSON, MEADORS, ROGERS, SINCLAIR, plus many more. Would like to hear from anyone with ancestors from Georgia Ridge or anyone who knows of an index of Chastain Cemetary. John C Kincy

They have the records from Judge Parker's Western District of Arkansas Federal Court, at least the criminal records. Ancestry.com has that on there database but you have to subscribe to get access.

Nita: Try NAIL at: http://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html which is an Info locator for the National Archives. I found some criminal cases at the Ft. Smith Court so maybe it will also have civil cases. I believe this site is adding records all the time. I would think the county historian for Sebastian Co. should have some idea where those original records are kept - or some idea as to where a microfilm copy may be found. You can send a letter to Sebastian County Historian, c/o Local Postmaster, Ft. Smith, AR - (don't know the zip) and see if the historian has any ideas as to where this record may be found. Regards, Nan

I am seeking copies of the natuarlization papers for my great grandfather Claudy Weiberg/Wieburg who was naturalized in Crawford County in 1892. The CC court house did not seem to have the information or did not know where it was. The CC Historical Society didn't think the information was in CC any longer. I contacted the U. S. District Court in Fort Smith, and they had a record of it being in Law Record 42, page 497, but did not have a copy of that law record. Where do I check to obtain a copy of these papers?
