Hi Will: I do have quite a bit of info on Franklin Co. AR. May I ask what you are going to do with it once it is compiled? Thanks and Happy Haunting, Marian Wood Hilton My line in Franklin Co. is DAVIS.

Hello all. I have started work on a comprehensive program to include every person whose name appears on documentation in Franklin County, Arkansas. Currently the project will only cover from the earliest days until 1860. This project will combine the 1850 census, 1860 census, marriage books, land records, court records, and ONLINE GEDCOMs. If you have any GEDCOMS or family sheets which you know are not already in the rootweb WorldConnect Project files online, AND they show people who lived in Franklin County from earliest days until 1860 (not later), please forward to me at wjhonson@aol.com and I will see that they are included in the database. Have a great day. -Will Johnson Snodgrass genealogist

I was reading in the Spectator about the Coal Mining Book that the Altus Heritage House Museum is sponsoring that is compiled by Fran Frame (who we all know has written some WONDERFUL books). It states that the book will be; $35.00 + $5.15 SH if purchased before July 1st 2001 or $45.00 + $5.15 SH if purchased after July 1st 2001 Mail payment to: Fran Frame P.O. Box 155 Altus, AR 72821 Although I have no personal ties to this project I really think that it is a worthwhile one for us to support. All of the stories are written by descendants of coal miners in that area. It states in the article that you can contact Fran at frame60@ar-digit.net Tami P.

I'm grasping at straws here - again. Trying to find if there was a marriage license listed for GEORGE WASHINGTON STURGEON sometime between 1899 and 1904 - thought it might be in Johnson County but evidently not - I do know he is listed on the 1910 census records in Johnson County AR. Thought it might help to check surrounding counties of Perry, Pope, Franklin, Yell??? George was born 1870 or 1873 in Ozark, AR Franklin Co and d 1949 buried Macedonia Cemetery Conway AR. His first wife was Emma Louise Fish Pruett and they were married abt 1895/6 Yell county?? divorced abt 1900??? - the second marriage I am looking to confirm is his marriage to his stepdaughter Laura Pruett and she might have used the name Laura Williams? On the 1910 census their records (George and Laura) that they had been married 9 years? Can anyone help????? SnowJohns@AOL.COM Dee Johns

Please help I need to find a Charles or Charley Hawkins - He would be living with another family Name is UNK probably in White rock Twp of Franklin Co Ar. He would be between Age of 18 to 20 and born in IL. DID he marry??? thank for any help. Joyce
