Does anyone know where I can find an online Township map of Independence Co.? There is one listed under search but no map appears. Am looking for Black River Township. Thanks. Thurman Anderson

Thanks for your response. I'll check the census and go from there. There a very good chance that William is the father. Was always told that his family came from TN or KY and the parents came from Sweden. Thanks, Thurman. Charlotte Smith wrote: > no. There are 4 Anderson families in the area during the 1850 census.

Lola, thanks very much. This is the first official verification I've obtained. The June 1, 1930 date that I had was actually from a 20 year old (long before the Internet) outline prepared by a now deceased researcher in Virginia. He was researching the Thornton line and John Anderson married a Thornton during 1879. Have no idea where the date came from, but, that's not important now. The family Bible record had been crossed out several times and was barely legible. Do you know how I could go about obtaining access to the Death Record Index that you mentioned? Think I'll also try ordering a death certificate again from Little Rock. I had listed Independence Co as the place of death on the prior request. Thanks very much. Thurman Anderson. "Lola L.

the 1850 census of Indep Co ark has a family of William Anderson 45 blacksmith born Tn with wife Elizabeth and at least 9 chilren and one of them is a girl named Fanny..since this is 1850 your John could belong to them in 1854.

I found a John Anderson, who died 01 Jun 1930 in Jackson Co., AR, listed in the North Central Arkansas Death Record Index by Desmond Walls Allen. Hope this helps.

Have hit a brick wall researching data for my great grandfather JOHN WASHINGTON ANDERSON. Have no birth certificate and Little Rock says there is no death record. Hopefully, someone can help. John Anderson was born about 1854 and grew up in the Cord, AR area. He had two brothers (names unknown) and one sister. Fannie Anderson. She married a Mr. Miller and, after his death, married a Mr. Donahoe. This information is from the family Bible of one of John's daughters. It also states that he married Ellen C. Thornton on 27 July 1879 in "Independence." John moved to Alicia or Cord, AR (without his wife) around 1916 or so. The same Bible lists his death as June 1, 1927, then changed to 1930. He is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave at Arnold Cemetery in Swifton (Jackson Co.). Any information will help. All I have is an 80 year old photo with "John W. Anderson; Cord, Arkansas" written on the back. Have very detailed records for his wife, Ellen. Thanks very much. Thurman Anderson.

Hello Everyone, I am new to your list and would appreciate some help in the form of an obituary. George William HARBIN died March 15, 1884 in Desha and is buried at Alderbrook Cemetery. Would someone be able to see if there was anything about him in the local paper when he died? I am particularly interested in knowing anything about his surviving sisters and where they lived. Thank you so much. Joan Marie in Oregon

Does anyone have access to the 1860 Independence Co census?? Am looking for information about my gg grandfather, Samuel G. Thornton, his wife Mary Jane and their children. 1860 would be the only census year that they lived in Ind Co. Sam and Mary Jane left Franklin Co, Virginia with their 6 children during 1858. At least one child died during the trip. They settled near Batesville and built a cabin. They were burned out by bushwhackers during 1864 and fled to MO. (Even with CSA sympathies, they were advised to move north.) Their 7th child, Ellen Cromwell Thornton, my g grandmother, was born near Batesville on Feb 29, 19864. Would appreciate any help. Thanks. E. Thurman Anderson.

Teri, Barren Township is north of Batesville, and borders Sharp County to the north. The postoffice was at "Curia", which was named for Curia Creek which runs thru that area. There is a cemetery in that vicinity, named Ball Cemetery, which was, at one time, con-sidered to be the center of Curia! I'm not familiar with the surname you were looking for being listed, nor have I ever seen it myself, in the Ball Cemetery.
