Would some kind sole send me the address for the Greene County Forum, every time I put something in bookmarks my computer seems to eat them. Kaye

Can someone tell me the dates on a gravestone for Sheba Catherine Dickinson in the Gainesville Cemetery or where to find it on the web site/or both. Where is New Friendship Cemetery located in relation to Gainesville? Is New Friendship Cemetery a church cemetery, if so which church? Thank you Phil Di Matteo

Phil-- I can't really answer your questions except that Powell Twp is in Craighead Co, which was formed in 1859 from parts of Greene, Mississippi, and Poinsett Cos. It is north and slightly east of Jonesboro. I would like to correspond with you (and anyone else interested) about the Ellis family. I am apparently a descendant of William Ellis, brother of Sen. James. I have some conflicting information about this family I hope you can help me with. -- Sandi F. in Jonesboro, Arkansas protean@ipa.net HAPPYDI@aol.com wrote: > > Can someone tell me if property identification would have changed when land > was transferred from Greene Co. to Clay Co.? > Concord Twp transferred to Clay Co. in 1873. > I am searching for information regarding Senator James Ellis who is listed in > the 1850 census in Powell Twp.

Does anyone monitor this list who works at the library? I have a question about an article that was in the Historical Quarterly, Vol. 11, 1998, No. 1. It was entitled Song of a Jailbird and was based on an article from "John F. Rainey's Greene County Citizen published Thursday, Feb 9, 1939." Is this a newspaper? Is it on microfilm or in the records at the library? I would like to get a copy of the original if possible. If anyone can help with this question I would appreciate it. Carey Rogers

Can anyone tell me where this land was located and/or any way to get additional information. I believe this John P McKinney is my Great Grandfather. It shows he received the land as the only heir at law of Joshua McKinney" and references Warrant numbered 26.611 - a certain Tract of Land, containing one hundred and sixty acres, being the South East Quarter of Section Thirty Six of Township Nine (?) North in Range Eight, West. Even the official documents are hard to read! This document shows John as the nephew of Joshua and is the only reference I have to any of his relatives. John's wife was Fannie Thomson. She died 3 days after my grandfather (Samuel David McKinney) was born. John was also married to J. N Bonner and Jennie Lee. I have a copy of an old photo showing John with his three sons - John Virgil, Lee N. and Samuel David (my grandfather) and his stepson Edgar Lee - standing in front of the old house. I have no information on his parents or siblings. Nancy
