In 1887 Charles Franklin Loomis lost his wife Jeanette Fisher Loomis. In his grief he left Kansas and went back to Arkansas (county unknown) and settled there. The family story goes that while there he became involved in Tabacco business run by a family by the name of Pryor. Would like to connect with anyone who either 1) knows of Charles Franklin Loomis or 2) knows of a Tabacco Business in Arkansas owned or run by a family by the name of Pryor in the 1888's.

I am aware of the Thomas Jefferson Ayers & Lucy Jane Lowery and sadly they are not mine. I'm sure my "TJ" was married to Lucy Ann Bennett & have reason to believe that they were married 1858-60. If it would not be too much trouble ... could you please send me the data on the T. J. (18??) & Jefferson (1891) The latter may be his brother, William Jefferson. Thanks so much for all you do! Ginny

Does anyone have an e-mail address to contact the Arkansas History Commission, in Little Rock? There's none listed on their Web site, and I get the impression they are trying to discourage people from contacting them that way. Steve

Anyone know of a genealogist or researcher for hire who would be willing to go through 52 issues of the Lee County Courier for me? I tried to get the newspaper on microfilm through interlibrary loan, but apparently only the Arkansas History Commission has a copy of the microfilm for the year 1914, and they don't do interlibrary loan (boo! hiss!). Write me off the list if you know of someone available. Steve Dhuey Madison, Wisconsin walloon@mailbag.com

I'm sure this can't be the same but it is a coincidence: Hardeman County Tennessee from Marriage Records by Cox,p. 5 Ayers Thos J. to Lowery Lucy Jane 28 Sep 1859 bondsman(no given name)Hainline; solemnized by Jas. McCann JP Earliest marriage shown for an Ayers groom is Eli in Oct 1829! Another T.J. married here in 1871 and Jefferson m. here in 1891!

Think someone might be interested in this: from "Ansearchin' News, vol 47, #4, Winter 2000 [The Tennessee Genealogical Magazine}, p. 54 "Thirty Complete Naturalization Requirements in Memphis" Thirty new US citizens took their oaths of allegiance in Judge L.P. Cooper's courtroom in Shelby Co during 1900; had to be residents of the US for at least five years, residents of TN for at least one year; had to renounce their allegiance to the ruler of their native country and have two witnesses to good moral character.

Posted on: Lee Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ar/Lee/14 Surname: Triplett, Wilson, Swanson ------------------------- My grandfather Andrew Washington Triplett b.25 Dec. 1860, married Virginia Ella Wilson b.May 1862. There were numerous children. I know of Columbus, Jesse,Rosa,William, Elizabeth(Lizzie)Octie,Dovie and my father Hayes Albert. Grandmother died when my father was born and my grandfather then married Nancy Ann Jeffcoat Johnson. They had a son Garland who lived in Marrianna until he passed away 5 June, 1988. I know that Andy's father was named William Louis Triplett and he was born in So.Carolina as was Andy. I would appreciate any information about this family. Especially about William Louis Triplett as I know hardly anything of him or his wife and other children. He may have served in the Civil War but I have been unable to find him listed anywhere. Also Information of the Wilson family. My grandmother's sister Molly was married to Jim Swanson and I'm interested in this family too. Thank you for your help.
