Duncan Wall attests he has no delusions about slavery in AR, ancestors on several lines being big planters with major slaveholdings. Oddly, my grandfather Philos Stratton Jones, graduate of the old Pea Ridge Academy in AR, federal judge in IT/OK, came from a standfast Unionist freesoil family in Whitley County, KY, but married the daughter of what had been very major slaveholding Coton- planter families in Miller and Lafayette Counties, AR, Webster Parish La, Jasper County, MS, Macon County AL, and no doubt other places I haven't traced back yet.....Getting straight on family history is the most interesting part of the quest for me...my mama was the genealogist lineage chaser...back fifty years ago, when it was heavy labor....we have it easy, ffffolks....
