Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QV.2ADI/182.2 Message Board Post: Dennis - I'm descended from Caleb Bales and wife Jincy Jane Craig who were in Independence Co., AR in 1840's, 1850, 1860's and some of their children were there after that. I have always wondered if Henry Bales was a brother or some relation to my Caleb because of their agers and the fact that their children are similarly named and they lived close to each other at times. I can't prove any ancestors or siblings on my Caleb. Caleb and Jane had several children - some stayed there and some went to Oklahoma. Some people researching Caleb on the internet have suggested that Caleb's father was named David, but if old naming patterns were used, James was the oldest son of Caleb, not my David Bailey Bales who was the second child, and thus Caleb's father might be named James. It has been a puzzle for me for many years. Would enjoy sharing Bales information with you if you are interested. Linda Overby Tinney, LindaTin@aol.com

Their family is on the 1930 Seminole Co OK census. It shows that he was 22 when they married and she was 16. That does not compute with the ages shown for them. He was age 33 on the census and she was age 29. That indicates he got married in 1919 and she got married in 1917. I cannot locate a marriage record for them nor any death records.

The land descriptions in Arkansas haven't changed since 1844, although I'm not sure about the names of towns or communities since 1844. A section is one square mile, or 640 acres. In Independence County, Section 28 of Township 14N & Range 6W would begin about 1 & 1/2 miles north of today's Batesville city limits, and go 1 mile further north, and start about 2 miles west of Pfeiffer, & continue 1 mile further west. On one of the maps I have, there does appear to be a cemetery on the very western edge of Section 28. I believe it was called Belleview cemetery. Hope this helps.
