Mary Ann and Betty Mc, I just realized I made a couple mistakes--the creek I was talking about was Strawberry River ..  And one of the houses we lived in was where Valda and LLoyd Wayne Blevins built  a new home.  So, now I am not sure where Maxwell's house was, I don't remember one on the Ward's place.  I think I was 4 when we lived there, and haven't been down that road in years. I do remember we found some arrowheads across from the Blevins place--so guess we had Indians there .  Glenna G. , ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Mary Ann Caruthers <maryanncaruthers@yahoo.com> To: arizard@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, December 11, 2010 4:39:33 PM Subject: Re: [ARIZARD] Fw: Arizard: Rocks and New Hope-Betty & Glenna I have been reading to Junior what Betty and Glenna have wrote and it has him telling stories that he remembers about the area so it has been a enjoyable afternoon for us to remember the past.

Marsha, on the Oxford road,go east up the hill past Coy Ferguson's then past the Harber's old place. At the top of the next big hill  is where the Wards live--the road goes south there too.  Across the road where Wards live is a dead end.( If you go past the Mosses and down to Strawberry, you went too far. )  When my Dad was growing up ,they went to Salem thru the woods.  As far as I know there were not any thru roads to Salem  then, plus it was alot shorter to go thru the woods.  (There was an old schoolhouse down this same road, but it is torn down now.  )  Thanks for your input.  Glenna G. ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Marsha Boles <marshab52@yahoo.com> To: glennagoodwin@att.net Sent: Sat, December 11, 2010 3:56:40 PM Subject Hey Glenna ! Mom doesn't have a clue where you are talking about and she was raised there. Me - I haven't been down the Oxford road in 20-30 years.  So, I looked on Mapquest.- just put in Oxford and Wiseman. There are only about 8 roads that go north and 2-3 look really short. Only a couple of them seem to go straight up to Fulton Co. line - I would think these are the best bets. Ck'd New Hope AR and its way over by Fayetteville - I know that's not it ! Ya' know  . . . years ago when I first read about these 2 churches on Wilma's son's site - I got the impression Prosperity was near Day and New Hope was closer to Wiseman. Sure would have been to talk to Robert King before he died.  I think he knew something that has yet to be discovered. Guess I am being a little too skeptical but I don't think there is any kind of record I haven't heard of being wrong, including this old record book. The way I see it - the inside cover of the record book Wilma has, was written by her GF some time after the church folded.  Now why couldn't he have mixed up the 2 little churches back then too ? ? ? This was all 150 years or so ago - I do want to know which one was where, but in the greater scheme of things . . .  having it narrowed down to just 2 places isn't so bad. Still, I think you and I know in our heart - New Hope was closer to Wiseman than previously believed.  That little tidbit on New Hope in the big Presbyterian book pretty much puts it where you think it was too. Just saying I agree with you.  Now I'll go back and watch it rain some more. LOL Marsha

If so, they may have named him after this person. You probably know that your ancestor Anna Martha {MORRIS} MONTGOMERY was second wife of my great-great-grandfather William Alexander RIDGWAY. I've posted before either on Izard or Baxter List the circumstances around her death. They lived in Sharp County and she was visiting her children in Izard County. He had dreamed of her death. I have picture that Max PARNELL sent me about ten years ago of her and WAR. They went to Texas to see her sick brother Riley MORRIS and the family wanted her to stay, so he returned to Arkansas and she stayed until after her brother died, then returned. A man who could do most everything from shoemaker to carpenter, they lived around Thayer, Mo. where he built roundhouses for the railroad, following it all the way to Hardy. She kept a boarding house in Mo., he said. The only "drawback" to their marriage, he said, was they both had grown children. His didn't live with them, but her youngest son is in census with them. Oh, there was a Riley MORRIS in Baxter County, according to my mother. She said he had excellent singing voice. A lady they knew well was known as "Sis" but her maiden name was MORRIS and she was wife of John AVEY. Believe this Riley was her brother. Just thought I'd call this to your attention.

I think one of the things you have to remember is that most of these folks were riding horses or walking, especially the pastors and men. They would cut across fields, streams and woods taking a much more direct route than present day roads allow. Women didn't really go to church as much as men did. Women and children generally required a wagon. That's why I suspect so many "brush harbor" meeting were held - kinda pre-cursors to tent revivals. Men would chose a somewhat woodsy place and actually cut and lace other tree branches in the canopy to make more of a shade and shelter from the sun. These meeting were planned well in advance so farm work could get done up for a few days. They packed up the wagon and camped out a few days. That's why so often, they had preaching morning and evening. They packed in a much as possible. Probably few folks could stay for the whole meeting and often men would have to go home to check on their house and stock before they rode back the next day on horse. These folks were serious about getting their religion!Marsha Prosperity is near the center of Fulton Co., in north Arkansas. Its first members came from Tennessee and Georgia. New Hope – This church is situated near the N. E. corner of Izard Co., AR. Some of the members of Prosperity lived here, 10 miles or more from the church. Among these were the Gaults, Montgomerys, Vaughans, and others. Rev. S.P. Davis, by order of Synod of 1870, came to labor in this field. He organized New Hope, April 8, 1871, with 30 members. W.A. Gault, J. R. Vaughan and J. F. Wilson were elected elders. Mr. Davis supplied this church in1872, also. About this time they put up their first house of worship – a log structure. Rev. J. C. McDonald began his labors here Nov. 10, 1872, and was installed pastor of New Hope and Prosperity, Oct. 10, 1874. He made his home in New Hope congregation, having “homesteaded” a piece of land and built a house on it, not far from the church. He was their pastor until 1881, and stated supply much of the time untilt1888, also 1891-5. Revs. W. L. and R.E. Patterson, S. P. Davis, D. W. Reid and E. E. Pressly supplied Hew Hope and Prosperity a few months each during three years. Rev. W. S. Moffatt supplied, 1888-90. During this time the erected a near frame church, costing $500 or $600, a mile or more from where the old church stood. Rev. M. P. Ellis came to then in Augustn, 1895, and Feb. 1, 1896, was installed pastor o New Hope and Prosperity, each getting half of his time. New Hope had 43 members at the time. This has been a happy settlement, and the church as prospered notwithstanding the fact that thay have lost some prominent members by death. Among these maybe be mention Mr. W. A. Gault, who was conspicuous both in piety and zeal, and as acknowledged leader and efficient worker. They report about 70 members. They maintain a fine S.S., a L.B.S. and Y.P.C.U. --- On Thu, 12/9/10, Myrlene Hastings <mdhastings@centurytel.net> wrote: Billie, New Hope is between Day and Wiseman. I am not a good judge of distance, I would say less than 10 mi from Wiseman. I had wondered how far from Wheeling, I was looking at the road map last week, and it is not far 'as the crow flies'. I don't know if there is a road directly between the two, as far as I know there isn't. There must have been one then. I was surprised to see that New Hope was so close to the Fulton Co. line. Myrlene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Billie Walsh" <bilwalsh@swbell.net> The other day I ran across an old map and got to looking at it and something from the Prosperity papers about Newhope came to mind: These families settled on the North side of the Strawberry, and below the fork of Strawberry; and some 8 to 10 miles below where Properity now is." Does anyone know how far it is from Wheeling to Wiseman? There's a fork of the Strawberry and the Little Strawberry just outside of Wiseman. Would Newhope have been near Wiseman? -- ------------------------------- 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 ----- No virus found in this message.

Yes - that's my fella ! ! ! Brother of my GGF - guess that makes him GGUncle ? ? ? Namesake of one of the pastors - Rev. William Samuel MOFFATT is the way it is spelled in the Presbyterian records on line , but, Moffitt works for me - what are ya' gonna do after 150 years ? ? ? LOL But ... his brother is (Monroe Oates Montgomery) seems to be namesake of  another pastor, Rev. Monroe Oats.

Hi Peggy, I don't know a whole lot but I do know there is a whole 'nest' of Sanders out in the Dolph community. One of my Green cousins married a Sanders and we visited her there in May. There was a row of mailboxes with Sanders on them! Call me goofy--I have rocks in my flower bed from a little pile she had in her yard! They are my 'Arkansas rocks!'

Betty Mc, I found this great website for Sue--thought you might e-mail it to her.  They have pages and pages of Siscos, Ciscos, and Franciscos, and several Indian connections, stories and  pictures.   The site is www.paulridenour.com/SISCO.htm.  If she can't get it that way have her go on the web for Mary Melvina Daniel on page 25 and look for the Sisco Family. Thanks for doing this for me Betty Mc, I do not have her e-mail and have never talked to her.         Wilma Norton, I found a site for you,too.  They had a site on the Barbers in Izard, Fulton, Ar.  Shows some Chadwicks buried in the Kuykendall Cem., Searcy, Ar--that I sent you.  It is listed under boards.ancestry.com/surnames.barber/1219/mb.ashx?pnt=1   or if you can't find it there, look on the web under Mary Melvina Daniel on page 1  for Barber in Izard,Fulton,Ar.Thought you could get more info on the Chadwicks you were looking for.  Glenna Goodwin

Pat wrtoe: I noticed there are several unreadable Russell graves there. I wonder if the person who holds the main records for burials might have more names? Probably not, until after many had already been buried. =============== Some of the names may have been taken from the Corps list of graves moved when the Norfork Dam was built. On some of those there wasn't any more information.
