    3. Hi, My husband has been trying to connect his grgrandmother Sophronia Davenport Wiseman to the Wisemans of Izard and Fulton County, Arkansas for some time now with disappointing results. She was born February 1851 and died May 1904. The first record we have of her is in the 1870 Fulton County Census where she is living with the Wiley C. King family. Then a note found in a King family bible mentions her marriage to James Ferguson Montgomery July 6, 1871. She is in the 1880 and the 1900 census also. In the 1850 Fulton County census there are three Wiseman families listed. They are Absolom and Nancy, Thomas and Mary and Davenport and Matilda. Have you ever come across anything for a Davenport? My speculation is that he and Matilda were the parents of Sophronia, and they had both died before the 1870 census. They are not in the 1860 Fulton County census which might have held the answer, but it is if they dropped out of sight. Looking forward to hearing from you, Judie Montgomery
