January 23, 1914 page 2 col 5: Monticello, Jan. 22 - A sawmill recently completed by J.S. Kimbro on the A.D. and N. railway within the limits of Monticello, is now running. Near this sawmill the Stigman Stave Company is rushing to completion a mill that will employ about 300 men. Several other similar enterprises are being planned. Jan. 25, 1914 page 17 col 3: Monticello, Jan. 24 - Monticello high school basket ball team decisively defeated Wilmar high school here last night by the score of 58 to 5. The superior teamwork of Monticello was impressive throughout the game. The spectacular goal throwing of Killian and Craig for Monticello and Peebles for Wilmar were the features of the game.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas AND a good, long nap afterwards! In the event that some of you are interested, I'm posting a portion of a post I received recently from Family Tree Maker. They will up the prices on their World Family Tree CD's on 1/1/99; from now until 12/31 they will allow you to <<GET A PREVIEW BY USING THE VIRTUAL INDEX To see if any of your ancestors are included on Super Bundle CDs, check out the special "Virtual Index" (CD's 8 - 22) at http://www.familytreemaker.com/wftsuperbundles/ifftop.html This index will help you narrow the search for your ancestors by showing you only the matches that appear in Super Bundles II, III, or IV. >> While I've not depended on the information I've found on these CD's, it has helped me by providing clues for further research. I've also been able to make contact with some of the people who contributed the trees, and that - to me - has been most interesting and at times rewarding. Perhaps we can find new Drew County cousins to add to our list. Happy New Year to each of you, amy

Enjoyed meeting you, Melissa. Sorry we were so busy....would have enjoyed going to archives with ya'll.BETh

Hello, everyone! This is Melissa, using my parents' e-mail address. Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. I have been go-go-going since I got to Arkansas last Friday night. Will post my new research findings when I get back home. Just wanted everyone to know how to get in touch with me if you have any list emergencies. The fastest way to reach me would be to send mail to the 'From' address on this message, since I haven't gotten to check my own e-mail since last Thursday. You can also write to my folks' address: larjodon@aol.com Merry Christmas to all! --Melissa

I will verify this according to Old Times, which is certainly not a complete record of the families who came to Drew County. The place name index indicates the following states with the most reference...all about the same: AL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA. MS has the longest listing, but those from MS and LA came previously from the other eastern states. Generally NC and SC went to VA and TN. From VA to GA, to AL, to MS, to AR or LA. >From TN to MS or AR.

The Bibical tribes referenced the 12 tribes that left Egypt with Moses. Could this possible mean that one man was usually in charge of the trip, and that maybe several (not necessarilyy 12) families traveled together. ---------- > From: Terri Lee Wolfe <terrilee@ipa.net> > To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [ARDREW-L] Re: NCSCOTS-D > Date: Saturday, December 19, 1998 10:43 PM > > rdea asked about the biblical l2.....I have no answer.....maybe the > original person below can answer this question > > #2 Notes: Wagon-train from NC to Miss ["William Monroe" <wlmonroe@hotmail] > >> Some notes you may find of interest: > >> Dilworth migration: > >> "The wagon trail from Greensboro, NC to Joneboro in Tennessee, then west > >> to Nashville.

In a message dated 12/19/98 10:38:51 AM, you wrote: <<So, we all have links in SC and Drew Co>> ~~~~~~~~~~ I think without a doubt that SC was the beginning point for so many, many families from Drew, Bradley, Lincoln, Cleveland and Jefferson Counties. I have also decided (for whatever its worth) we are all mostly from the hardy, surviving spirit of the Scotch/Irish. The Gladney's who left SC for the above AR. Counties had a wonderful example from their Grandmother Jane Wilson Gladney. When her husband died 1754 in County Antrim, Ireland she gathered up her four sons (w/families) and caring her Presbyterian Church membership, took off for America with only the promise of 100 acres and "Bounty" for a year. She arrived in Charleston in 1761 and died there in 1781 at the age of 70. I think this is one example of why we of AR can be so proud of our ancestors. Bettye
