Hi cuz Robin Thanks for the info. Have put it in the tree. If you have any other info you would like to share would be glad to have it . James K. Polk Rhodes a brother of your great Grandpa was married to my Grandpa, William Ignatius Montgomery's Sister, Amanda Elizabeth Patterson Montgomery. We are real happy to get the info from you. We are trying to find the family of Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery the mother of Amanda and William Ignatius Montgomery. Have you by chance seen or heard anything on the family. Below is what we think we know. Cuz Jim and Judith ( Shuck ) Montgomery JIM. M LOOKING FOR SOPHRONIA/SAFRONIA Sophronia D. Wiseman was born 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 FrancesMontgomery born about. 1873, Alfred T. Montgomery born April 14, 1874, Izard County, Arkansas and died 25 March 1964. He is buried in the Wiseman Cemetery, Wiseman Arkansas. Amanda Elizabeth Patterson Montgomery, born October 1883 in Arkansas. William Ignatius Montgomery born 11 September 1886, Morriston, Arkansas. He died June 1965. Buried in the Marked Tree Cemetery, Marked Tree, Arkansas. Lilly Leeonis Montgomery born 31 March 1880, Fulton County, Arkansas. Samuel Leondis Montgomery born 31 March 1890, Morriston, Arkansas. He died 9 February 1984. We found her 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 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. They 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."
