Since he served in the Civil War,he might be buried in a national cemetery. > > I have been searching for his burial site for what seems like a lifetime...<grin> > > His last pension check was returned from the Post Office in Harrisburg,Poinsett,AR. I have him in the 1880,1900 in Lawrence County,but, he also lived in Poinsett County. > I have searched all surrounding sites,but,with no results. > He died in 1914. I found him in the 1910 Poinsett Directory for Residents living in Poinsett during that year. > > While I'm at it, thought I would mention the fact that you need to keep in mind that transcribers of the old records can really make biiiiiiiig mistakes with transcribing. My gg grandfathers name was MILES. > It is listed on the directory as "MALIA"....Now,that is quite a difference in spelling. I would never found him if I hadn't noticed the names of his children, and, his age and state he came from. > > Thanks for any help, > Glenna > km5tq@gbronline.com > myfamilypride@yahoo.com > > > ==== ARKANSAS Mailing List ==== > We have archives!! http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
