There's a big to-do over whether the correct name is Mathews, Matthews, or Mathis. The oldest known ancestor I have for her line, a Rev. War. soldier, is buried under the name Mathis. WHAT a BLOW UP that caused! But the gentleman who had spent years searching for that burial site, and who bought the stone for him, and had a special burial program for him, went by the name of Mathis. I think gma Pierson said her name was Mathis, and since it was her gma, who am I to dispute it? LOL You found more sites on her than I have, mind sharing them WHEN you have time? Thanks, gen PS, Elijah remarried after Sarah died, and then moved back to TN, from whence he came. I saw the same burial site mentioned for her, but I think she died in AR. Looking at the census record, Elijah was still in Strawberry twp, IZ co., AR, after Sarah passed away. He married Mary Ann Prater, she is buried in TN. Any idea what the nearest cemeteries are to that twp? --- On Wed, 12/22/10, Harold Blevins <hrblevins@knology.net> wrote: > From: Harold Blevins <hrblevins@knology.net> > Subject: Re: [ARIZARD] Sarah Amanda Mathis -Gen > To: arizard@rootsweb.com > Date: Wednesday, December 22, 2010, 5:56 PM > > Two of the four files I found for her on Rootsweb listed > her > last name as "Matthews" > > One of the other two said she was born in 1848 in Wayne > County TN > and that she died 17 Feb 1898 in AR but was buried at > Warrington/Prater's Chapel Cemetery in Wayne County > TN...HRB > > Wonder if Elijah was sent back to Tennessee for burial > too???? > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Gen" <herronswayward1@yahoo.com> > Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:18 PM > To: <arizard@rootsweb.com> > Subject: [ARIZARD] cemetery lookup? > > > Can anyone tell where Sarah Amanda Mathis Battles was > buried? > > 1880 the family lived in Izard Co., 1900 her husband > & family were in > > Sharp.  He later moved to TN and was buried > there. > > Not much to go on, my best guesses are in an unmarked > grave in either Mt. > > Nebo or Godwin. > > TIA, > > gen > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > > > ARIZARD-request@rootsweb.com > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > > quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ARIZARD-request@rootsweb.com > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > subject and the body of the message >

Don: You probably already have your information on this, but yes, he was the son of Tom and Leota Mashburn Linn. His parents had the old Linn House here in Melbourne.

Have a request to help identify a former teacher. The only name given was C.M. Linn. He was girls basketball Coach at Flippin in the early 1950's. I wonder if he might have been the Carroll Linn, listed as the son of Thomas Harris Linn and Inez Leota Mashburn Linn in the 1920 and 1930 Census in Mill Creek, Izard, AR. According to what I can find, I believe that person born 10 Nov 1914 AR, d 28 Apr 2003 Mountain View, Stone, AR. Does anyone have information on this? Thanks Don

Two of the four files I found for her on Rootsweb listed her last name as "Matthews" One of the other two said she was born in 1848 in Wayne County TN and that she died 17 Feb 1898 in AR but was buried at Warrington/Prater's Chapel Cemetery in Wayne County TN...HRB Wonder if Elijah was sent back to Tennessee for burial too???? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Gen" <herronswayward1@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:18 PM To: <arizard@rootsweb.com> Subject: [ARIZARD] cemetery lookup? > Can anyone tell where Sarah Amanda Mathis Battles was buried? > 1880 the family lived in Izard Co., 1900 her husband & family were in > Sharp.

He called it pughey like hughey-best I could tell over the phone. He said she's there in the cemetery, and there is a Dink Pough there! But, I have never seen a researcher with anything past her birth for info on her. John M's family was in Fulton County in 1870. Then 1880 they are in Baxter or Izard. She is 17 in 1870 and so she probably married before 1880. The 1870 census they are on is Page 1 for Big Creek Township. And, I didn't find any Poughs on the first 8 pages of that group. So, what township lay next to the Big Creek in the area where they lived? I will look for Poughs and Pughs in the 1870/80 censuses. Thanks for all the work you did yesterday, Gen!! You're a great researcher!

Can anyone tell where Sarah Amanda Mathis Battles was buried? 1880 the family lived in Izard Co., 1900 her husband & family were in Sharp. He later moved to TN and was buried there. Not much to go on, my best guesses are in an unmarked grave in either Mt. Nebo or Godwin. TIA, gen
