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.
