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

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.

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 >
