>My note: John J. Pierce lists the middle name of William G. Myhand as >Green rather than George. Connie???????? >Carolyn I know I've been told this, but I've forgotten. Where did this major GREEN name originate? My uncle has told me about some important person in the early l700's or l800's that everyone named their children after......I just can't remember whom. Do any of you know? Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

Lots of boys, such as Macon Causey, left high school and went to war before coming back and finishing later. Also, there was a women's army camp near the Italian prisoner camp so Dr. Roy Grizzel said at one of the Historical Society's meetings. He had information that he had gotten from somewhere. In addition, there was a Japanese relocation center at Jerome(I think), I know there was one at Rowher. Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

According to my grandfather, Dan B. Wolfe, Rough and Ready Hill was named this because once the horses left the low lying land south of there, which rose from the Prairie, it was all uphill and quite rough on the animals, esp. if they were hauling a load. Now, I'm sure his was a theory , just as everyone else's, since many abound. Nevertheless, he says that the part of Rough and Ready..which is in front of the old Roy Sanderlin place..was the worst. Just before that last hill , there is a relatively flat part, and if one were driving a team in wet weather, he had to really get a running start or the rig would not make it to the top. On one of the AR Civid War websites, there is a list of all the battles and skirmishes in AR. Union Ridge or Rough and Ready was supposed to have been the last in AR. Also, it was supposed to have occurred after the treaty signed at Appomatox. I've never researched beyond this, but I've always wondered who, if any, of the men of Monticello who were in the Confederate Army stationed near here fought in that battle. Now, as far as your mother and you going out to this area, did you ever notice the old church across from the cemetery(Union Ridge)? This was a Negro church during its final heyday, but it was supposedly one of the churches left over from the town. Also, in the museum, there is a painting that Mr. Fred Hankins did of what he imagined Rough and Ready , the town , to have been like. His painting was done, based on stories and memories of some of the Old Timers......and Mr. Fred was quite elderly himself. I don't know just how much older than Mrs. Wilma Edwards Hankins, his last wife, he was, but she is 83....perking quite nicely I might add. There is also an old clipping in the Archives of the Boy Scouts putting up flags or something at Union Ridge to commorate the last skirmish there. In addition, the Archives have a little bit of information on the Battle at Longview and the one at Mt. Elba. Like you, I really wish someone would write about the Civil War in Drew County itself. I want to get one of Mr. Willis' books....just as I got one of Dr. Shea's, but I would love for someone to tell the stories about Col. Shelton and the Yankees invading Monticello, or get more information on what was going on when all the Drew County Courthouse records were moved to Lacey.....where some of these are....(lost they say)....but lost in whose possession????what house????why was Lacey safer???? So many ?'s and so few answers.......I guess everything was not meant to be remembered. My grandfather always talked about how his father's brother, Christian Columbus Wolf (LUM)... a captain in Monroe's Division.....also part of Price's raiders....came back from the Ark. 3rd to protect the homefront...raised some locals of his own ... and then went off w/Monroe's regiment.....or some such something. Supposedly, Uncle Lum would go over to Alexander (they called him Elic...must have really been Alex) Deal's and talk late into the night about their exploits during the war. Mr. Deal served under Uncle Lum, was caught w/ him and his brother Waymond A. (Wayne), and escaped on a train in Ill or Missouri from the Yankees. However, the brother WAyne was badly ill....couldn't escape...and died of smallpox in the Alton, Ill. prison. Mr. Deal was able to be exchanged with someone to keep from having to stay in the Rock Island, Ill. prison. Still, I would love for someone to tell me about these old gentleman's exploits in Drew Co. prior to forming that last group and joining up with an organized unit again. Okay, I'm taking up too much research time....should have sent this private email.....BETH Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

re yalls Myhand stuff....I have just heard recently that Lamar is ill...too ill to do any work, etc. vivian probably has her hands full....but prob could check stuff for you. Rebeccca

Their Cousin Samuel Bruce Gibson was also in this company and was shot in the knee at Chickamauga. He was then sent to SC after being in the hospital for quite some time.

How's that for coincidence?! My grandpa would have been Ray Houston Jones, son of Edna M. (Brown) Jones. Don't know when he entered the Army or was discharged. I know that he served in Germany for some period of time. You can see a photo of Ray an an unidentified buddy in Germany: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~melissaj/ray.html Thanks for trying! --Melissa

Dear List Members, here is a page that will give you lots of World War II links: http://www.bhs.edu/uhs/ww2links.htm

Melissa, Here is your info: S 1-c Raymond M. Jones, son of Susie V. Jones, entered the Navy Feb. 24, 1943. Trained at Farragut, Idaho. Served overseas on the Island of Hawaii. Discharged Jan. 1946. Is this the right Ray Jones? I can't tell you if the book is still available, someone living in Drew County perhaps can find out for you. Hope this helps.

Hello Robert, You may not remember me, but your mother and mine taught together at Drew Central. I remember you, Judy and your parents well. As to the Veterans Book: There is a newer edition than the one you have. When a monument to Veterans was built in Monticello, in front of the courthouse, a new book was also done. It includes: WWI, WWII, Korean and Vietnam veterans. It, too, has no date on it, which is a disappointment. On the cover is a sketch of the memorial. The memorial was dedicated on Nov. 11, 1988 and the book came out around that time. I have a clipping about the memorial from the Arkansas Gazette of Sunday, October 16, 1988. The pictures from the book that you mentioned were used, but this one includes many more. Sadly, there are lots of errors in the identification of the photos. Our family has gone through and corrected many that were known to us. Good to hear from you Robert. Carolyn (Haisty) Haisty jhaisty@tcac.com

Jann, All that I know is what is in John J. Pierce's work. Lamar & Vivian White have provided most of his information. If you still have their address, you might want to check with them on this. I have his address if you need it. This is why I post things from the Peacock draft - to find errors. I have already come across many, as Jann knows. Any help appreciated.

I copied the records submitted to the archives by Jerry Donaldson Naron. She has him as William Green with notation (George)------don't know what she means by that. She also has his wife as Sarah Elizabeth Culver, daug. of Thomas Culver(?) Another set of records was submitted by Ozell Scot, listing him as William Green Myhand married to Sarah Elizabeth Culver. Total confusion for this old lady!! I just list him as William G. Myhand, since the only record I have is his marriage record to Elizabeth Culver in Georgia.

I told you, I told you, I told you!!! <smile> I believe the Wright's from Lacey are from the Fayette County, TN, area. Vertis Daugherty has a Wright family Bible that lists several births and marriages from this area. If anyone is interested, I have photocopies of this information I would willing to share.

The POW camp at Monticello also held German prisoners, however most were Italians. There was a chapel on the camp that had a very beautiful stained glass window that was made by the prisoners. Sadly, that chapel is no longer - as is true with most of the buildings there. After the camp was closed, some of the barracks were converted to housing and I spent many nights in the home of Mr. & Mrs. W. A.Trotter there. In June, we held a family reunion at the Drew County Fairgrounds, which occupy the land that was the POW camp. Homer Pace who is in charge of the Fairgrounds visited with my husband and me on several occasions. In our converstation about the POW camp, Homer told us that the metal building that we used was the Motor Pool building when the camp was there. The Motor Pool and one other very small building are the only ones left of the original POW Camp. Carolyn jhaisty@tcac.com -----Original Message----- From: WILLIAM L BROWN <QPYR97A@prodigy.com> Also, during WWII, a camp near Monticello held Italian prisoners of war. The county historical society has info on that. There is much, much more if you want to look for it.

Connie and Becky: From the draft of the upcoming book on Peacocks .......... IVERSON PEARSON PEACOCK (Nov. 23, 1851 - Sept. 7, 1912), oldest son of PEARSON, apparently took his first name from the Iverson family back in Georgia. He married Sarah Elizabeth Myhand (Jan. 22, 1852 - July 6, 1932) on Nov. 22, 1871. She was the daughter of William Green Myhand and Elizabeth Covington, who came to Drew County from Mississippi. My note: John J. Pierce lists the middle name of William G. Myhand as Green rather than George. Connie???????? Carolyn

Joann, A couple of thoughts in response to your question about effects of the two world wars on Drew Co/Se Ark...I know that many Drew Co men who went into the army served at Camp Pike north of Little Rock during WWI before shipping out to the fighting in Europe...one was my GG uncle who was gassed in France and suffered the effects the rest of his life. Also, during WWII, a camp near Monticello held Italian prisoners of war. The county historical society has info on that. There is much, much more if you want to look for it. Bill in Dallas

Dear Becky: So sorry that has taken me this long to answer your Myhand request. Sammy's grandmother Beulah Peacock was the grand-daughter of William George Myhand and his wife Betty. ( I do not know her maiden name.) her brothers and sister were: Cornile I am not sure of that spelling, Ann, Triston, Crawford, Frances Ferdine, William and gg-grand mother Bettie Elizabeth who married Iverson Pearson Peacock. ( all from Drew Co.) There are several working on the Myhand line. One is a Ms. Jerry Naron, from Monticello, if you will E-Mail me I will try to get her address for you. Oh to the other folks I am doing really good should be back to work in a week or so. I will try to do better about how to send a message. I am not good on this thing. I'll get Beth to help me. Please send your recipes to us or the Drew Co. Historical Society cook book.

To Melissa Jones: Received your inquiry regarding your grandfather. If his name was Raymond M. Jones, he entered the Navy on February 24, 1943, trained at Farragut, Idaho and served overseas on the Island of Hawaii. He was discharged Jan. 1946. This is all the information contained in the veterans album complied by the American Legion. Other information can be obtained from the National Archives in Washington. Good Luck.

Good morning, Hope everybody's ok today. I was wondering if anyone has connections to the Rotton family ? Jeff Davis Rotton married Ida Stedman, sister to my grandmother, Mary Etta Stedman. Trying to contact any descendants if I can. Lee
