Some of you might already know this but 1870 Census for Marion County is listed in Madison County on Ancestry.com. Take me a long time to find it. Hope this helps someone. Annis

Hello, Annis - nice to see you here. Yes, I discovered this some time ago, because I have lots of people in Buffalo City, Marion County.  I also noticed Whiteville was location for others -- and I knew it was in Marion County.  Kinda tricky and nuisance to have to catch and change Madison to Marion. I know we are working same area because often run into you.  My public ancestry trees: (1)  PERRY - BATY & LUTHER - WOOLEY (2)  KING- HULSEY x3 (3)  RIDGWAY-McWHERTER (4)  CLAYTON-McEACHERN P-B & L-W: All are surnames of my mother's grandparents, Izard, Marion, Baxter.  Good records on Thomas Dittmus MARTIN & Susan HUTCHESON of Izard and Baxter Counties.  Some other allied families:  COTTON / WATTS / BEAVERS / BAILEY / BRANTLEY / COMER / BALLARD /   K-H:  x3 for great-grandfather Wm. KING m. Eliz. HULSEY; his brother James M. KING m. (sister of Eliz.) Margaret HULSEY; their brother Alfred Joseph HULSEY m (1) Henrietta ALLEN in Independence Co., AR; m (2) Eliza KING [formerly BOX] (a sister of William & James M. KING, above. R-McW:  (surnames of my great-grandparents)  Early records on my ancestral families:  RIDGWAY (England> Halifax Co., VA > Rutherford Co., TN > Among first settlers in Henry County and adjacent Weakley County, TN (related to most people living in these counties > Pemiscot Co., MO > Izard & Sharp Cos., AR [most of RIDGWAY great-aunts and uncles married, lived in Lawrence, Sharp, and Craighead Cos. > gr-grandfather RIDGWAY migrated after 1880 to Sharp County, then Baxter, then Wagoner, Creek Nation, OK; recently widowed gr-gr-grandfather migrated from Pemiscot, MO to Sharp Co, AR with at least ten children > 1880s to Baxter County, living there until he died in 1917. Surnames allied to RIDGWAY:  GOODWIN / HOWARD / KILLEBREW / BUCKLEY / ATKINS / CHIZENHALL / many others in Henry and Weakley Counties. Surnames allied to McWHERTER:  TODD / SHERRILL / CLAYTON / SIMPSON / some descendants lived in Boone & Baxter Cos.       C-Mc - "Memorial" tree to Ora Mae {McEACHERN} CLAYTON.  Her grandfather migrated from Mississippi with the William NELSON family of Buford.  Her mother was Sarah LEMON, who married "Jack" McEACHERN.  They migrated to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where the lived and died.  I am not blood-related to Mae and Earl CLAYTON but we were closer to them than some of our relatives.  Mae was one of five daughters of Jack and Sarah McEACHERN. My parents probably knew the family at church.  Sarah McEACHERN was sick a long time and was bedfast.  My parents had "Market" garden and would drop off food.  After her mother's death, my mother becane Mae's best friend and "second" mother.  We spent lots of time together all through the years.  My mom and Mae would sew and can.  We went to the laundry in Broken Arrow, or to grocery store.  Their two daughters were just a bit younger and we spent lots of time together, playing house, playing school, playing "Pretty or Ugly," Parchesi, Checkers, Wahoo, playing with paper dolls, hide-and-seek, jacks, etc.  My sister Clea was about their same age.  They seened like older siblings to me.  So, I had a bit of information on Mae's family - and wondered if Earl's CLAYTON family was related way back to mine, so I began this tree. All of the above trees are naturally "a work in progress" and I work on them most every day.  Look them over -- you may find some connection.  I haven't added my ROBERTSON, KNIGHT and BAGWELL records yet.  Nor have I scanned my pictures. but hoping to do that soon.  Have so much more to do.  Now going on 74, I just hope I can keep working on them a long time! With best wishes for your good health, Annis.  I appreciate you and welcome input from any of you.  Peggy Peggy {KING} TRUESDELL
