Happy New Year!!! I am searching for my ancestors.....ANDERSON , COLLIER, POLK, RATLIFF Henry M. Anderson was near Mt. Ida and Hot Springs. Taylor Polk will be in the same area. He married Prudence Anderson, Henry's sister. Martin Collier moved to Arkansas about 1812. He married Mary Bell Anderson, no relations to the mentioned Henry Anderson. They came from Logan , KY. By 1820 they were settled in to their home near Mt. Ida. Martin died by 1823. The first white child born in that area of the country was Jefferson Collier, who spent his entire life there. t John Ratliff came into Washington and Crawford Counties with his four sons before 1830. They settled in those counties. John Ratliff is said to have died in Crawford County in 1832. I am looking for a headstone, a gravesite, proof of death in some manner. Henry M. Anderson and wife Sarah Collier left Arkansas for Texas in 1840. There would be a Henry Anderson, grandfather of Henry Madison Anderson that might be in the same county and a James Anderson, father of Henry is also there. They died in Arkansas, I am told. If there are any listings in " History in Headstones" I would be most grateful if you could pass them along. Thanks, JoRetta Lewis
