Found online today.  Peggy Findagrave info for Sarah Sally Stephens Thompson * * Hall family history states that she was the daughter of Allen Stephens of Springcreek Church area, south of Pineville. Sarah married Rodney Franklin Thompson. This same source goes on to say that Sarah died 1880-1885. As to dates of birth, the 1860 Fed. Census (Izard Co., Union Twp.) lists Roddin (Rodney) as 36 years old, farmer, born Illinois, and Sarah L. as 34 years old, born in Kentucky. Their children were listed as; Allen, age 10, Mary, age 7, Lewis, age 5, and William, age 3. All of their children were born in Arkanas. I was not able to find them in the 1870 census, but the 1880 Fed. Census (Baxter Co., North Fork Twp.) lists them as Roden, age 52, born in Illinois and both parents born in Kentucky, and Sarah L., age 49, born in Kentucky as was both of her parents, and William C., age 23, born in Arkansas. So, according to these reports, Rodney was born about 1824-1828, and Sarah was born about 1826-1831. Children per Hall family history; 1. Allen Thompson, married Jane Arnold. Allen was a stone mason, farmer, and also had a store for awhile. He had some limited education in a school. Their children; John, Tillman, George, and Pearl. There could have been more children. Allen remarried after his first wife died. His 2nd wife was Jane Waters. They had no children. 2. Lewis R. Thompson, married Nancy Beavers. He was a stone mason, prepared cisterns, wells, chimneys and fireplaces. Children; Hickman, Betty, William, Frankie, Lee, Phoebe, Noah, Hewie, and Ronald. Burial in Spring Creek Cemetery. 3. Mary Jane Thompson (1851-1936), married Rev. Finis Ewing Hall, son of John H. and Matilda Trimble Hall. Burial at Wayland Arbor Cemetery. 4. William C. "Doc" Thompson (1853-1952), married Mellissa Russel. He was a farmer, timber worker, stone mason and general countryside worker. Children; Meadie, Cora, Grover, Ellwood, and Tressie. William and Mellissa separated and divorced. William and the children moved to Oklahoma, the children marrying, scattering here and there, some going to California where William followed. William died in California at the age of 99. The California Death Index lists; William Glenn Thompson, born Feb. 1, 1857 in Arkansas, mother's maiden name Stevens, father's surname Thompson, died Kern County, Ca. Dec. 5, 1950, age 93.   Burial: Wayland Arbor Cemetery Dolph Izard County Arkansas, USA 

I don't belong to the Marion County List, but should probably post this query there, too. The subject of my search, Mary Emla "Belle" THOMPSON married in Marion County, Arkansas, my great-uncle Henry C. KING in 1889.  They are in Creek Nation at Coweta, Wagoner County in 1900 census.  The Lewis THOMPSON that married Mahala BEAVERS has daughter of right age (b. abt. 1873 or 74) but I chased theirs shown as Mary E. and found she was Mary Elizabeth and determined through records she married to someone else. For years have sought date of death for great-uncle Henry C. KING, known as Dr. KING.  His occupation in 1900 census has three words, the middle one is "Medical" but other two are illegible.  My Aunt Cleora {KING} ROBERTSON said he was a "quack" doctor,  Robert Polk KING had traveled from Baxter County to Wagoner County to visit him in 1905, but they never knew when he died.  They later tried to find his grave in the Vernon Cemetery at Coweta.  A few days ago, was working ancestry.com "Hints" and it showed his death in February 1912, as sourced for "Dates of Death for American Physicians."  I was pleasantly shocked! One story from my uncle, Robert Emerson KING. was that Henry C. KING "was on top of a roof during a race riot when he was shot."  I went to Oklahoma City historical library 20 plus years ago to check newspapers for a story, because there could have been z race riot.  Because Coweta was such an old settlement, there were so many newspapers and I was overwhelmed and quit.  Tulsa had a historic race riot in 1921.      I would really appreciate hearing from you if you have Mary Emla THOMPSON -- known as "Belle" in your records.  After numerous attempts, I can not find her in 1880 census with her family.  Hoping someone knows who she is!  They did not have children.

Thank you, Glenna.  Perhaps my note wasn't clear, but I eliminated possibility her mother was BEAVERS married to Lewis THOMPSON.  I learned this by pursuing their daughter Mary E. [Mary Elizabeth] of same age -- at least two times. There truly are lots of Indian BEAVERS in Oklahoma.  One family had son Vance BEAVERS, one of my classmates for many years at Broken Arrow.  We graduated together in 1955.  Then, there are lots of BEAVERS in Baxter County with Illinois roots.  My uncle Charles Floyd  PERRY married Juanita "Ottie" BEAVERS in this family.  Bernie has several connections to this family and we chased them a lot on the Baxter List.  Then, there are BEAVER and BEAVERS in Izard County. Appreciate you thinking about me.  I'll keep trying. Peggy
