Is there anyone who has this Waldrop as an ancestor? (Listed below my paragraph.) My gr grandpapa Joseph Ryan Waldrop of Washington County,Alabama was ambushed, shot and killed Aug. 16, 1870. He was in Arkansas at one time married to Sara Catherine Alexander in the early 1850s. Does anyone know what the R stands for in this Joseph R. Waldrop? There was a J. R. Waldrop that moved to Arkansas from Lauren, South Carolina with a wife Isabella Boyd Waldrop. WALDROP, JOSEPH R. State: AR Year: 1870 County: Clark County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: Caddo Township. Page: 222 Database: AR 1870 Federal Census Index Thanks for any help. Sandra
