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.

Faulkenberry Billingsley came to Arkansas, and so did Mary Caruthers, widow of Maxwell Caruthers, but we don't think that Maxwell ever came to Arkansas.  His wife, Mary (Faulkenberry) and several of her children, including my Gr-grandmother Amanda Pearl Caruthers Jackson did come.  Maxwell died ca. 1865-66, and we have never found Mary on the 1870 census, but think she may have been traveling to Arkansas at that tiime and maybe got missed.  (Do you have her in 1870??)  In 1880, my Gr-grandfather, Andrew Franklin (Frank) Jackson, husband of Amanda Pearl Caruthers Jackson is deceased.  Mary (Faulkenberry) Caruthers is living in Union Twp., Fulton County, Ar.  Also living in her household is her dau. Amanda, and Amanda's daughter, Clementine (my gr-grandmother, and grandmother).  Sue and I checked I think it was with your dad, Troy Caruthers, and he told us he thought the land that had been bought by Maxwell in early years, was probably the land that J. Ward lives on.  You had probably heard that?
