I am looking for info on the "WALL" family in Drew County. David Burton married Mary Ann WALL on December 29, 1869 in Drew Co. He was born in June, 1847 in MS; Mary Ann Wall was born in MS about 1850. They both died in Drew County; some records say burial was in the Union Ridge Cemetery, but there is no stone. According to a granddaughter, his son David S. Burton did not know where. My line descended from David T. Burton thru O. P. (Polan/Pollen) Burton thru Stanley, then William O. Burton. I was hoping to find infor about the WALL family in hopes that someone can help. The last of the line that I know was Mr. H. W. "Mutt" Wall who died in 1995 here in Drew Co. Who was his father? He was often called by the nickname "Wash" Wall. I remember that he had a big orchard and grew really nice fruit on the Rough and Ready Hill on the old Troy Road which I believe is near the dog pound Any help is appreciated.

I do not have any infor on your John Franklin Dill, however, my maiden name is Deal, and my parents still live in Drew County AR and Deal ancestors lived in Drew County AR as far back as 1843. I also have an Elizabeth Deal married to a Henry Lee Adcock. Do you have any info further back than 1823? I find this very interesting.

From Melissa Jones: So my question is, why were Lycurgus and Sallie living apart in 1900? Why did each of them claim to be widowed? Were they actually separated or divorced? **** Melissa, I was able to contact some of the descendants of Lycurgus Bruce Owens and Sarah Agnes Steadman in recent years and have quite a bit of their history. No one mentioned what would be the answer to your question (divorce?), and my contact is now deceased. Lycurgus Bruce Owens was the brother of my great grandfather, Milton Hubert Owens. My guess is that they were divorced. Lycurgus "Uncle Coot" Owens died on September 19, 1909 and Sallie Owens lived until December 23, 1923. I have found other persons who were known to be divorced and the census shows that they were widowed. Long ago, in a more polite society, divorced persons were called "grass widows"......as opposed to "sod widows" :-) There were many more children than you mentioned in the family. Children of Lycurgus Bruce Owens and Sarah Agnes Steadman were: Frank Romain Owens + Catherine "Cattie" Miller and 2nd Ruth Johns Mary Owens + W. F. Matheney Grace Owens + J. W. McDonald Ella Owens + An Unknown Newton Graves Owens Myrtle Owens + Dr. Oscar Hughes Looney Leah Fern Owens + Bester Arvin Owen Wycliffe Owens The genealogy of this family is included in "Bartholomew's Song" by Rebecca DeArmond Husky in the OWENS genealogy which I submitted and which covers the descendants of Ezekiel Brooke OWENS and Adelia Pendleton PAYNE. If you want more information, please contact me personally. Carolyn Haisty camayh@cox-internet.com

Carolyn, thank you so much for your quick reply. Yes, I didn't list all the children in my initial post for brevity (the ones I mentioned were the only ones living with L.B. or Sallie in 1900 -- I haven't looked for the others in 1900 yet). Thank you also for providing the children's spouses' names. This may help me find them in the census records. Guess I will add "look for possible divorce record" to my list of tasks next time I am in Drew County! I'll read the genealogy in "Bartholomew's Song" as soon as I get a chance.

Hi all, I looked through the archives but didn't readily find an answer to this question, so I'm hoping someone here can help. In the 1880 census, Lycurgus B. Owens and Sallie (Steadman) Owens are living in Drew County with their several children. In the 1900 Drew County census, Lecurgus Owens is listed as "widowed", and has 2 children living in his house, George Ella and Leah F. However, also listed in the 1900 Drew County census as a separate head of household is Sallie Owens. She was also listed as "widowed". I feel confident this is the right Sallie Owens because living with her is mother Mary Stalman or Statman (should be "Steadman"), born in South Carolina. Also in the house is Sallie's daughter Myrtle J. So my question is, why were Lycurgus and Sallie living apart in 1900? Why did each of them claim to be widowed? Were they actually separated or divorced? Thanks in advance for any insight, Melissa

Ruth, The Arkansas Death Record Index shows a Charlie Cash who died in Drew County October 29, 1948. He was a white male who died at the age of 79. If this sounds like your grandfather, I would encourage you to write to the Arkansas Department of Health to request his death certificate. I think the cost is a whopping $10 these days, but may be worth it to you as you might find out his parents' names as well as where he is buried. --Melissa -----Original Message----- From: RCBARFIELD@aol.com [mailto:RCBARFIELD@aol.com] Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 4:32 PM To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ARDREW] Cash I am looking for information about the daaath of my Grandfather, Charles William Cash Sr. My father is deceased so I only have my mother to ask and she thinks that Grandfather Cash died sometime about 1948 but isn't sure.

Hi Rebecca, I am sorry this is so long in getting to you. I have been in the hospital with back surgery, then when I could get to the computer, it crashed on me.....WAH!! I am so glad I could get it back and get these saved. Just wanted to say thank you so much for all you work in putting this index together.

WRITER TO TELL HOW TO SAVE FAMILY STORIES Remember the stories Grandpa and Grandma told you? Save them now before they fade away. That’s the message the guest speaker will bring to the Bradley County Genealogy Society meeting Sunday, September 26, 2004 in the Bradley County Industrial Development Community Room. The building is located across from the Bradley County Sherriff’s Office on Myrtle Street. Wendy Ledbetter of Gurdon, a freelance writer and former editory for Family History Magazine (formerly Everton’s Genealogical Helper) “will talk about my favorite topic – writing,” she says. “ There are dozens of terrific stories associated with every single family tree and I think it’s a shortcoming on our part to not make a place in our research for those stories. While many of them are ‘family legends.’ Or simply tales that can never be verified, they still play an important role in who we are and where we came from. There are lots of reasons to save those stories and lots of ways to get those stories saved.” Ledbetter will discuss “simple, inexpensive” ways to get a book into print. “And, it’s only a small step from writing these stories down (for your own enjoyment) to publication in magazines and periodicals. I’ll show how to find markets.” Ledbetter has been a newsbeat reporter for several Arkansas daily newspapers and in 2000 received an Associated Press state award for best news story. The meeting will start at 2 p.m. and is open to the public.

Hello, My grandmother was Annie Belle Jordan ,who says she was born in N Little Rock to her knowlege, but her mother died when she was 11 and her dad when she was six months or so ca 1889. His name was ??? Jordan. Her mother was Maggie Belle LEE Jordan who moved to Parker CO TX with family after her husband died. My gr grandmother was Maggie Belle LEE whose family lived in Copiah CO MS and Hinds CO MS then moved on to Drew CO AR. She married ??? Jordan who died from a horse back riding incident ca 1889. My gr gr grandad was Anson Pollen LEE who married Arabella Nicholson Bedwell. My gr gr gr grandad was John G LEE who married Polly Lewis. I think my gr gr gr gr grandad was Saymer LEE who married Nancy Woodruff. If you could help me on the Lee line or Jordan it would be wonderful.

Cheryl: I am sorry to say that I don't know where the name came from. I can only get so far back right now, but none of the other relatives had that name. And, it has been spelled different ways: "Polan, Polen, Pollen, Poland" - strange to me. That was the name that everyone used, too. I noticed that you are in the LEE line. My husband's aunt by marriage was a LEE. One of her brothers gave me his e-mail, if you would like to contact him. Robert "Bob" Lee = HKSHATTIN@yahoo.com. Come to think of it, I went to school with a "Downey Lee" here in Drew County. If I remember correctly, he died rather young. He was 3 or 4 years older than me and I am 63; we graduated from Drew Central High School, Monticello, AR.
