Hi. I just wanted to say thanks for posting the Arkansas Graves website. I was able to find my ancestor, Wm T. Craig. He was a civil war veteran and was buried in the National Cemtary in Little Rock, Arkansas. I did check the other site, FInd A Grave, about a week ago. National Cemetary headstones were not included in their collection yet. I'm really tickled about finding the photo, too. Odds are that I won't be making it back to Arkansas anytime soon. So for me to take the picture myself wasn't in the realm of reality for me. I really, really appreciate Patti posting the website. I look forward to seeing more of the headstones from Howard & Pike counties posted. Especially Antioch cemetary. Wm T. Craig lived in Muddy Fork, Howard, Arkansas from 1896 to sometime after 1900. By 1910, he's living in Harris, Johnston, Oklahoma, with his son Joseph J. Craig. He entered the Sweet Home Confederate Nursing Home in Little Rock on 1 January 1915. For those who are looking for information on him, I've posted most of what I have on a family tree at Ancestry.com---called Howard-Minor family tree. Kathy, I'm posting a link for you. It is in regards to Elder John Parker & his wagon train to Texas. Believe it or not, W.T. Craig's wife (3rd wife) was Sarah Ann Jordan. She was the granddaughter of Elias Jordan and he descended from the Jordans of Wabash county, Illinois. Apparently, the Jordans joined Elder Parker on the Wagon train headed west. But for some reason, he & his family dropped out of it when they reached Stoddard county, Missouri. Stoddard county is where he remained and died. His wife also. His children migrated into the next county---Dunklin. THIS is where W. T. Craig was living when he enlisted in the Confederate Army, in 1862. Anyway, back to Elder Parker. The link below has a partial list of some of the folks that traveled on that wagon train. And there was a 2nd wagon train that headed out to California. Check it out.... http://http://www.jordan-family.org/index.html I'm so glad I didn't skip reading this last issue of Howard county..... So Glad!! Brenda Minor in Tucson, Arizona
Brenda thank you very much for the link! I have not worked on the Duty/Parker family lines in several years. (Being terrible at putting my info into the computer...the last year I have been trying to update my computer files..but have not gotten to them yet.) My gr-gr-gr grandmother (and Grandmother to James H. Stokes of Howard Co) Sarah "Sally" Pinson Duty (who died a few days after the Ft Parker raid) was Elder John Parkers 2nd wife and as you know several Duty daughter's married the Parker sons...and I am sure you know the rest of the story on down to Cynthia Ann Parker and son Quanah Parker. As for info of Wm T Craig on findagrave.com...is he William Tennie Craig? If so he is listed with a photo of the marker. Rather than looking for the National cemetery. Do a "Search 27 million grave records" (this is searching for individuals) and of course in the state of AR...you will then find him listed in Sebastian Co in the National cemetery. Click on the image and a larger image will appear. Then right click to either save in a file (I do this so I can control how I want toe picture to be printed) or print. This will give you a larger image file rather than a "thumbnail" or small image...which I don't find at arkansasgraves.org..which I would have considered donating my photos to them too..but gave my reasons why I didin't and won't in prior email. I don't have Antioch cemetery images but I am hoping to go to AR for a couple of days in a couple of weeks. If I have time I will try to take pictures of the stones in Antioch...only 19 graves (most have images associated with the listings) are listed on findagrave.com but Tammy only gave me 25 names to post in Antioch cemetery on the Howard Co website. I have not been to it so I can't tell you any more. Hmm Tucson...maybe I can get you to get photos of my Clanton's in Tombstone <G> Sure wished when I was taking Genealogy Shoppe to Phoenix I knew one of my Clanton's was also buried in Mesa. OH well...if I finally get back to AR maybe I will make it back to AZ LOL Good luck in your search!

Arkansasgravestones.org is very proud to be able to begin posting photographs of the gravestones at Little Rock National Cemetery. AGP is going an extra step to recognize veterans and other public servants. They are attempting to designate all veterans with a special designation of (Veteran) within the surname field so that they may be easily searched. All postings for veterans now have a second review to assure quality. Brenda's ancestor is not the one in the national cemetery in Sebastian County but in Little Rock National Cemetery. I have notified the lady who took the photograph to let her know that a descendant found the photo.
