However, I looked up Ragsdale in Newport, Arkansas on Anywho.com and found one who lives on Hwy 18 between Newport and Grubbs. If I were you, I'd try him. If you get to the cemetery, let me know if you find any Sharps or Alexanders buried there. The three families have very old connections, and I always wondered if they came to Jackson County together from Tennessee.

It appears that the federal marshall's spelling too keen as they went around collecting data. However, after I looked at the original census, it appears that it might have been the transcribers mistake, because if one knew her name was Lena, one could make out this 'e' instead of the 'o' that was chosen by the transcriber. Name: Lona M Medlock Home in 1920: Cravens, Franklin, Arkansas Age: 4 years Estimated Birth Year: abt 1916 Birthplace: Arkansas Relation to Head of House: Daughter Father's Name: Bill Father's Birth Place: Arkansas Mother's Name: Kizzie Mother's Birth Place: Arkansas Marital Status: Single Race: White Sex: Female Household Members: Name Age Bill Medlock 39 b. 1888 AK father b. TX/ mother b. AR Kizzie Medlock 39 b. 1888 AK (both parents b. AR) Esther S Medlock 14 b.1906 AR William M Medlock 9 b. 1911 AR Ethel M Medlock 7 b.1913 AR Lona M Medlock 4 b. 1916 AR (who I believe is Lena) Ruthy L Medlock 1 7/12 b. 1918 AR Sounds like you might begin looking in Texas for Willian Medlock b. 1888....and the closest one I could find was this one: 1900 United States Federal Census about William Medlock Name: William Medlock Home in 1900: Big Rock, Sharp, Arkansas Age: 13 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1887 Birthplace: Arkansas Relationship to head-of-house: Son Father's Name: Isac Mother's Name: Mary Race: White Household Members: Name Age Isac Medlock 33 b. Aug 1866 AR father b. TN/ mother b. Arkansas Mary Medlock 31 b. Jan 1868 AR been married 15 yrs = 1885 and has had five children with all living in 1900 Mary's parents both had been born in Arkansas William Medlock 13 b. Sep 1886 AR - here's Lena's father. Barnie Medlock 12 (son) Mar 1868 AR Abraham Medlock 10 Apr 1890 AR Frona Medlock 7 (transcriber has Frona, but original census has Leona) b. Jun 1893 AR Fannie Medlock 1 b. Feb 1899 So, again, someone screwed up on giving the correct information as to birth place for Isaac but obviously I found William's father in Arkansas, in 1900, where all his family was born and lived. Apparently by the federal marshall in 1900, William's father had given Tennessee as his father's birth place. Why an adaptation for a name which is easily seen and read as Leona made out as Frona, is beyond me!! Hope this helps you some!
