Hi Therman, I know what you mean regarding 'Townships.' My Ancestral Home is in Arkansas, my family is from Bradley County, 'Clay Township,' which can also be called 'Gravel Ridge,' which is very close to Warren. Your information is 'refreshing!' I just found out about my husbands family. Barran is going to be a 'tough one' as I find no links on the genealogy pages. But, from a post before yours, I know have a general idea. Again, Thank you. ~Dena RESEARCHING: JORDANS of Independence Co., Arkansas and GREENS, CHILDS, DAVIS, BELIN AND CALBERTS of Bradley County, Arkansas. Original Message ----- From: "Elmer T.

In Arkansas and many other states, all counties are divided into sub districts. They are called a "Township" but have no relationship to any city or town. In Arkansas, all old Federal census reports were prepared by township (a sub district like a mini county within > a county). You may want to zero in on county records, federal census or federal land records for Barren Township. > > Gook luck!

I cannot locate a town on the web page for the county called 'Barren.' Was there such a town, and if so, does it still exist, or did it change to some other name? I am researching the 'JORDAN' family.
