You may want to get with Michael W. Condardo at chylon@nwinfo.net He may be able to help you with the Hatmans. Also Earlene Simmons at earlenesimmons@yahoo.com for help with the Taylors.

Judy the better half and I would be glad to share any thing we can help you with. Sure hope this helps. Let us know. I want you to know that your E-Mail address got my eyes open this morning more then the cup of coffee. Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery is my Great Grandma and her family is our brick wall. Mary Frances Montgomery born about. 1873 married D. L. Hatman. Mary was Sophronia's daughter Below is some of the notes and info we have on her Happy hunt-in Jim and Judy ( Shuck ) Montgomery JIM M LOOKING FOR SOPHRONIA/SAFRONIA Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery Family Sophronia Davenport Wiseman was born 24 February 1851 in Arkansas, and died May 8th, 1904 in Arkansas. She married James Ferguson Montgomery 6 July 1871. She is buried in Humphries Cemetery, Fulton County, Arkansas. We found that the middle initial "D." was the name Davenport. The children of Sophronia D. Wiseman and James Ferguson Montgomery were Mary Frances Montgomery born about. 1873 married D. L. Hatman we think this was Daniel Hatman . Alfred T. Montgomery born April 14, 1874, Izard County, Arkansas and died 25 March 1964. He is buried in the Wiseman Cemetery, Wiseman Arkansas. Married Ellis / Ellen Buchanan Amanda Elizabeth Patterson Montgomery, born October 1883 in Arkansas. Married James K. Polk Rhodes William Ignatious Montgomery ( MY GRANDPA ) born 11 September 1886, Morriston, Arkansas. He died June 1965. Buried in the Marked Tree Cemetery, Marked Tree, Arkansas. Married Susan Emma Lynch Lilly Leeonis Montgomery born 31 March 1880, Fulton County, Arkansas. Married Sherman Herbert Cooper Samuel Leondis Montgomery born 31 March 1890, Morriston, Arkansas. He died 9 February 1984. Married Maggie Alberta Rider We found Sophronia in the 1870 Fulton County census living in the Wiley C. King household and in the 1880 and 1900 Fulton County census married to James. What we are really looking for is some information about her parents and/or siblings. On every census we have found, her parents and Sophronia were supposedly born in Arkansas. In the 1850 census there were three Wiseman's living in Fulton County, that we know of, so we are pining our hopes on one of them. They were all in 1850, Fulton County, Union Township on page 158, Thomas and Mary, Absolem and Nancy and Davenport and Matilda. Part of E-Mail 1 Feb 2001 from: Charles and Dee Colvin chrdcol@gte.net Hi Judie? Nice to meet a distant cousin!! Yes, my mother use to speak of Sophronia Davenport WISEMAN, and her name is among those that were in the family Bible. (Note it was a King Family Bible per Dee Colvin) The Bible has Safronia D. Wiseman Born 24 February 1851 Married James F. Montgomery 6 July 1871 We have also had a letter from Mr. Tom Chapman who is researching the Wiseman family. He wrote: "You can be sure that Sophronia is a descendant of either Martin or Davenport Wiseman - brothers, whose families settled in Arkansas. The lived for quite a few years in Tennessee but were natives of North Carolina - sons of Thomas and Cordelia Wiseman. Thomas was the first son of William and Mary (Davenport ) Wiseman." E-Mail from Fern Estes at earlfernestes@centurytel.net dated 18 March 2003 Jim, In the 1850 census for Fulton Co. AR, Union Township I found Devenport Wiseman, age 25, b. TN; wife Matilda, age 26, b. AL. No children. Looks promising with Sophronia's middle name being Davenport. At this time, not sure of much on Sophronia. In the 1920 Mississippi County Arkansas census William Ignatious (Nash) Montgomery , has Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery his mama , my GGrandma born in Arkansas and his daddy born in Arkansas. But we know for sure that his daddy was born in North Carolina. In the 1910 Mississippi County Arkansas census William Ignatious (Nash) Montgomery , has Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery his mama , my GGrandma born in Canada and his daddy born in Wyoming. But we know for sure that his daddy was born in North Carolina The info from the 1870 and 1880 Census we have say Sophronia Davenport Wiseman was born in Arkansas.
