I wrote earlier and mentioned Hallelujah Weir and her children who are enumerated with William Howard in the 1850 Marion Co., AR census. The 1850 census index would not show Weir because the head of the household was Howard. I suspect there are many other Weir (various spellings) tucked away in the 1850 AR census and not indexed!
