I am attempting to help Nancy (Etheridge) locate her great-grand-father. Perhaps some of you might be able to help. Martha Melissa HALLEY married Albert T.(perhaps THURMAN) Etheridge in Union Parish, LA in January of 1892; her grandfather, John Albert Etheridge, was born in December of 1892. She said that she cannot locate Albert after the marriage. Martha Halley's brother, William Abel Halley, was married to Cumi Etheridge, the daughter of William A. Etheridge and his wife Nancy Wilson of Drew County. Bill and Nancy Etheridge are both buried in the Greenhill Cemetery. I have checked the cemetery books for Albert Etheridge; nothing. There could be an unmarked grave. Anyone have an idea? Of course, I know Albert Etheridge, class of 1958, DCHS, but I don't know his family. Might be same line.

Thanks. No, copies (presumably) were hanging on the wall in the house of James Chambers's grandson and I only got a quick look as we were leaving and noticed the dates and county.

I don't know anything about those families but someone recently sent me this old post from some article/book about a wagon train that brought some people of these surnames to Ark. about 1858. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ARDREW/1998-10/0909777122 does anyone know if there are is a list somewhere of all that made this journey together. the Willises and Chambers also came over from Wilkinson county GA to Drew in 1858 or 1859. A couple of the next generation of Willises married Hoovers. Rhonda BTW- interesting story!

I just sent this to a cousin and thought I'd post to the Drew list. I'm interested in finding the location of Chink-a-pen, The old Mason Place, and Buffalo Stomp in Drew Co. Amos Pinkney Hayes was my gg-grandfather. These are the memories of two granddaughters.

Does anyone know the name of the townships that were in that part of Drew county that extended up to the Glendale area about 1860. James Chambers settled in Drew county. His letters (1859) and land grants (also 1859) say Drew county and it is known he settled near Glendale. I saw a post that someone showed the outline of Drew county about that time and one section sticks way up from the rest of the county so I assume that must be the area he settled.

FYI: The name Josiah Touchstone in on land grants in the community around the Pleasant hill church and Butler Cemetery mid 1850's, at that time it was Drew County, became Lincoln County in 1871.

George Washington Nichols died in the Civil War. He was the son of Martha D Touchstone and Reuben D Nichols (m. 21 Jul 1825 in Copiah County MS) This Nichols came with my Nichols to Drew Co at the same time.

Here is a question for the NICHOLS researchers: Robert Burton's daughter, Mary Jane Burton (born about 1837) married, first - George Washington Nichols in 1856. She was married the second time to William F. Chandler (1861-1868) and the third time, she married Albanius Julian Hall. I know only of one child and that was Mary Jane and G. W. Nichols' daughter, Harriet Cornelia Nichols, called "Hettie". She married William Henry Lyle. The Lyles had a daughter named Sarah "Sallie" Martin Lyle who married William Mark Rogers.

I know there was a Yellow Fever Epedemic in 1878 in the south; I have a relative that died in Grenada, MS. Jo-Ann Stephens Bahai@netusa1.net

To the person with the Nichols in Hinds CO MS. That is where my Lee, Bedwell, Nicholson, Etc were and they were in Drew CO AR by 1870, I think it was will check. Do you know why yours moved to Drew CO AR. I dont know why mine moved for they had been in Copiah one census and Hinds CO MS the rest since like 1830 or so. My great great great great grandad or so , John Lee, was a Methodist minister so I have been told. I need to do more research for havent found for sure. I know he and many of his children are buried together near their homeplace in Terry MS and the others seemed to have come to Drew CO AR. Your help would be appreciated.
