Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a copy of this book or knows where I may obtain a copy of it. Nancy Britton, A collection of historical sketches of some early families of the original Independence County region., (Craig Printing Company, Newport, Arkansas, 1989), Thanks, Bonnie Graves

Bonnie, May have found his second wife in Jackson County AR but no info on earlier marriage available in Jackson County records. By the way, it is a free site to search and you can get a copy of the marriage license for 25 cents if you are close enough or send $5.00 to them. 1919-1920 MAR DATE GROOM BRIDE BOOK-PAGE 05/02/1919 VAULNER, CHARLEY WEEKS, NOLLIE I-553 http://jacksoncountyclerk.0catch.com/1919-1920.html • Barbara King Surname Research: Allen/Bennett/Brown/Craughen/Crawford/Drake/Riley/Silmon/Simmons/Wortham From: "Bonnie Graves" <bgraves34@texoma.net> To: ARINDEPE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AR IND] MARRIAGE LOOKUP NEEDED Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 21:31:37 -0500 Hello, I am needing help in looking up a marriage between 1900 and 1910 for Charlie Vaulner. The last name could be spelled as "Volliner", "Vanleur", or similiar spellings. The bride's last name might have been Pruitt. According to the 1910 Census for Union Township, Jackson County, Charlie was a widower. The marriage might have taken place in Independence, Woodruff, or Jackson County. I am unsure because I have found marriages listed in each of these counties for ancestors who were believed to have been married in Independence County. I am assuming the records were listed in the different counties because of the re-districting of the counties. All help and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks, Bonnie Graves

Good Morning: I asking a question and hope someone can help me. The above book has listing of people that I am interested in. Would the records be in the Ind. County Courthouse or the ICHS library? Next, is the Oak Lawn cemetery on line yet? Is John (can't remember his last name) Abbott I think? He was so kind to me as he took me around to each of the tombstones that I was looking for so I could take pictures. Thanks, Marian Wood Hilton

In regards to the Swaims you mentioned, unless they are two different Swaim families in Independence Co I am probably related to them. All of the Swaims came from Yadkin Co. Ark. after the Civil War. I have met Earl Swaim and wife and now they are deceased. They were very good to me and my father when we went to visit.
