Hi there........... Anyone heard of a church in Lincoln Co. called "Pilgrim's Rest?" My g-gft, William Pleasant White, helped in the organization of that church in 1922. It must have went 'belly-up' as I can't find anything about it!! In his ministerial credentials, it was referred to as the Freewill Baptist Church of Christ, Pilgrim's Rest, County of Lincoln, State of Arkansas. I looked at the list of churches, but didn't find this particular one. My direct family lines in Lincoln Co. are, Prewett/McFalls/White/Hellums.....and my son-in-law's lines are Partridge/Fletcher, located way over there in the Gould area...... Thanks for any help with the above. Jann Woodard ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com

Just completed some obits, marriage records, if you have family that wed in Lincoln please send them to me and I will post them. I just put some Thanksgiving themed artwork on the page.

Please submit to me your surnames and I will add them to the site. I still do not have the information from the old Lincoln County Coordinator so to give the site a kick, please re-submit them to me, if it's not too much trouble. The Biographies site is empty, anyone have any Lincoln County Bios to submit?

Louann, I am not sure if Drew County Library has email Fax is 870-367-5166. They don't buy much genealogy; the Drew County Historical Museum does. Connie Mullis and Beth Thurman of that society are on Ardrew so they saw your post. The Leonard Evans memorial Library 117 So. Freeman; Dermott, AR 71638 and the Paul Sullins Library 125 Main St; Crossett, AR 71635 are the best repositories for genea in se AR. I cced this to several lists and people who may be interested.

I need direction. My husband's grandpa was: James Henry Ingram. b: 17 MAR 1864 in Effingham Co. Il d: 27 JUL 1908 - buried in Tyro Cemetery near Colman,AR. He has a Woodman of the World Marker. In 1900 James and Margaret Alice (Chezem) Ingram were in Mainshore Township, Greene Co. Ark. He was renting and lived on a farm. Everyone in the family were born in Illinois. CHILDREN: Lena Ingram b: 14 Feb. 1893 Stephen Ralph Ingram b: 12 MAR 1899. James Henry died between census. Mortality schedules are taken at time of census for people dying the previous year (i.e 1909) - he died 1908. Arkansas did not start keeping death records until 1914. Star City has no vital records. The newspaper of Star City has had a fire - nothing available for 1908. Woodman of the World keeps records for only 10 years. Can ANYONE think of where I can find maybe Tax records? Another town that may have reported his obit? Local funeral home? Please help. Dianne Ingram ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello everyone, I am the new Lincoln County Coordinator. Debbie is passing the torch to me and hopefull I can carry the torch as well as she did. I have sent the information to rootsweb regarding the URLs for the site but if they don't have it up yet it's at: http://www.rootsweb.com/arlincol It's bare bones at the moment as I don't have any of the old information or new yet. If you have some to contribute, just e-mail me. There is a search feature on it as well but it has not been updated through Rootsweb yet, so it won't do anything but give you a dead end. There is also a query system up and running. Sorry there isn't much there yet but it is under construction and would appreciate all your building materials.

J. W. Bates, age 24, of Yorktown, wed Miss Fannie Mullikin, age 20, of Feeneyville, 11-1-1899. J. H. Robinson, Clerk. Book SCD, 365. (This is daughter of J. Frances . He is John. His brother Jesse Gerome Bates wed Mittie Mullikin) Any recognition?

Please excuse the offer to look up marriages in Lincoln County. I have 3 CD's that have AR in them or are just for AR and Lincoln County is not on any of them. I am sorry. I guess I got carried away. Wendy

I am interested in the Wilks/Wilkes, Scott's, and Nobles. These families married into many other Lincoln County families. Ima

Oren, as far as your death dates look-up, try this e-mail, it's for Tracy Converse and she is a genealogist and has all types of books, etc. and she might be able to help you. converse@efortress.com

Oren, I looked in the Lincoln Co. Cemetery Book and did not find the names you needed. This book was published in 1984, and it could be outdated. I do know that a lady posted some Lincoln Co. cemeteries, after going to them to transcribe herself, and they are on the Arkansas Archives. You might check that area. Also, as long ago as what you are looking for...the headstones could be gone or they were buried on their own land and can't be found. Happy Hunting, Diann

Need death dates and burial place for Aaron and Jane Jones who lived some where around Star City, Lincoln Co. Ark. in the mid. 1800s. This was in Drew Co. before 1871. My homepage. http://www.idir.net/~clinton Oren Jones clinton@idir.net
