Hello Desha people, I want to identify myself as being on the Desha list. Bill, I've written you before. I am Sam Rial. Born and raised in McGehee. (Bill sorry I must correct you publicly." Dumas- north of McGehee" is more correct than "McGehee- South of Dumas"). I have lived in Tulsa for the last 30 years. I also "lurk" on Bradley and the Drew lists. (Good lists). My grandparents (JOHNSON and RIAL) lived in McGehee, as I grew up, but were from Bradley and Drew counties respectfully, as were their ancestors). I am afraid I will not be able to offer much related to Desha. I have been gone so long. I do still subscribe to the "McGehee-Dermott Times" and will be on the watch for anything of interest. I also have several good old quadrangle maps of the area on which I would be more than happy to look things up for you guys. Just yesterday, I got them down to look up the 43rd Canal y'all were talking about. These are 1930 maps and show some things that no longer exists. So you got one more Desha person on the list!
