There are a lot of Johns' buried in Andrews Chapel and some still live in the Barkada area. Do you know if Mary F. Johns Yates was related to Robert Lee Johns born 11-8-1902? He had a daughter named Mary Frances and I am wondering if she is named after a great aunt or something. She is married to my husbands first cousin. My sister also married one of Robert Lee Johns sons so I have some information on this later generation of Johns'.

YATES. The Ed Yates mentioned in Peggy's e-mail is the son of John S. YATES and Mary F. JOHNS, my great-great-grandparents. I have John S. YATES, b. December 1839, supposedly in Mississippi (though I haven't found him there yet), d. after 1900 in Arkansas. He married Mary F. Johns, b.11-22-1842/Alabama, d. July 9, 1903 in Drew County, AR. They married July 14, 1858 in Ashley County, AR, according to "Arkansas Marriage Records." Their children were: Josephine Yates, b.1861/AR, m. Hearn; Eugenia Anne Yates, b. 1-14-67/Barkada, Drew Co., AR, m. John Wiley McCann; (My great-grandparents); Harriett E. Yates, b. 10-25-1869/AR, d. 11-25-1907/AR, m. Walter F. FERGUSON; Ed Yates, b. September, 1870/AR, d.? m. Minnie E. (?), b. 3-6-1872, d. 3/13/1900 in Drew County, AR. I have Ed's children as follows: Claude E., b. June 1890 Sara? M., b. October 1892 John W., b. March 1895 Jack, b. September 1897 As yet, I have found no record of a Lafayette. I doubt if he is a child of any of the above. I believe I have sources for most of the above. Let me know if this is of interest to you. Helen Peggy Calk wrote: > Thank you so much Mary.
