Hi Harvey, I would LOVE to compare notes, but unfortunately, that's all of the info I have, so far, lol. Can go back a little ways on the Lakeys, but only due to the help of others. <g> Unless you're talking of more current generations of the Lakey's, then I might could help on some of that! ;o) You wouldn't by any chance be related somehow to Willie Lee, would you??

Lewis Alexander GOODWIN m Lunetta OGDEN in Lawrence Co, 22 JUN 1853. Lewis had come with his family from Jefferson Co, AL. In the 1850 Census, Lewis is 19 years old living with his parents, Wyche & Maria (stepmother)SHARP GOODWIN, in Independence Co, AR. Lunetta, apparently an orphan, is 16 years old living with 5 other siblings ranging in age from 8-21 in Strawberry Twp, Lawrence Co, in 1850. By 1860, Lunetta is a 26 yr old widow with two children under the age of two, still living in Strawberry Twp. This is the last record I have been able to find for Lunetta. Lewis & Lunetta were the parents of my ggrandfather, William Alexander "W. A." GOODWIN, who became a prominent minister in Randolph Co. Nathan BELLAH came from Smith Co, TN abt 1827. He married Mary "Polly" HUDSON, d/o of Edward and Mary WHEAT HUDSON. The HUDSON's were in Lawrence Co by abt 1817, coming from Smith Co, TN also. I believe that Nathan died in Lawrence Co abt 1837, shortly after the birth of my ggrandfather, Elba BELLAH, but I have been unable to find any record of Nathan after 1837. Would appreciate any information anyone could provide on this mystery man, including who his parents were! The 1840 Randolph Co Census indicates that Edward HUDSON had people living in his household that would be the right age and sex to be his daughter Polly and her four children. Thanks for any help!

Daniel MARTIN and Ellender AYERS MARTIN came to Lawrence Co. circa 1817, while it was still Madrid Co. Mo, I think, can't remember without paper work. One of their issues was a son name James [Jim] [M.?] MARTIN. Daniel and Ellender moved to East Texas in 1833, leaving AR in 1832. Jim stayed in AR, but later moved to East Texas then back to AR. The MARTINS were pioneers to PANOLA and RUSK Counties, TX. The history is complete here, but vague before coming to TX. They were friends of the Wyatt's and Houghs [Huffs] before TX, and after they moved to TX. Any information will be appreciated. Marilyn marilyn@tyler.net
