I believe Clara M b 1897 on 1900 and Mertie C. b 1897 on 1910 are the same. We move on to Sam's next marriage to Lou Hudgens and the 1920. There are her children Elizabeth Hudgens 1908 TX, Dan Scholes 1911 TX & Harold Scholes 1912 TX with Mildred and Franklin still home. They have added Louise 1917 and Samuel 1918. On the 1930 Ashdown LR Co census, there is a Lue Johnson widowed with children Sammie 12, Beatrice 10, Josephine 8 & Jewel 6. Is this the widow of Samuel? Next door(with HH info stiked out)listed as dtr. is Elizabeth Cockrell 23 div with children. Says she married at 15 but the only marriage I find for Cockrell to an Elizabeth was maiden name Steed. The yr was 1926 and she would have been older than 15. But given the way her children were born, 3 under the age of 3, I do not believe she was 15 or else there would have been at least 5 kids in 7 yrs of marriage. If the marriage I found for Elizabeth Steed to Lomil Cockrell is correct and she was divorced by Apr 4 1930, then Sarah Elizabeth Steed remarried Marvin Yarborough Apr 26 1930. None of them are listed in the cem bk as it was published abt 1974. There is a marriage for Beatrice Johnson to JP Studebaker Dec 16 1939. There are TX birth records for Perry Gordon Studebaker and Beatrice Ruby Johnson. He died in 1956 CA, there is another birth record for Ruby Beatrice Johnson & Richard Price. Then there is a death record in CA for Ruby Beatrice Price b AR 1922 mthr maiden name Patts, fthr Johnson. SSDI says she recd her card in TX. There is also a death record & SSDI for Richard Price in same county CA, he recd his card in AR. Dan S Scholes b 1910 died 1994 in LR Co. There would be a death cert on him. I found him on the SSDI. There is a Sam Johnson b Mar 1918 who died in LR Co 1996. There was also a Samuel Johnson b Apr 1918 who died in OK 1998. On the 1920 census taken Jan 13 he was 1yr 9mos There is a marriage for Josie Johnson to T. Neal Dec 25 1937 and a marriage for Jewell Faye Johnson to Arvel Lee Tullis may 2 1942. I do not know if these are 2 of the kids or not but I did find an Arvel L Tullis in Hope AR age 83. Samuel Lee Johnson married Lillie Mae Edwards Apr 16 1938. One of the things you may want to do is to go back to the Hudson Cem listings and look at who is buried around Samuel. Right next to Lillie M is an Annie W Jones b 1898. On the other side of SM there are some Fords. One of the reasons I wanted to post all of this to the list instead of personal emails is because it is here for others to use. These Johnsons, Trammells, Cartwrights, Mauldins, etc are all intertwined and it is confusing to track. Also, this way it won't have to be searched again as it is documented(although in fragments).

SM and Ida B. divorced 9 Jan 1899, he married Lucrecie E. 7 Feb 1899, and Gracie was born 10 Nov 1899 -- nine months and a couple of days after the marriage. Have requested death certificate for Jane G. -- waiting for that. Mildred died 1972 Huntsville AL, and there's an SSDI. Can't find Myrtie or Grace after 1920 either. Re. Gracie May Lewis: Thanks for the clarification, and I think Gracie May Lewis was half sister of Ida E. Lewis, mother of Grace Johnson's husband Hamilton. As if you needed more Johnson info. at this point. Franklin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Larkin Johnson: Have been trying to track back before 1850 LR census. Seems to have married first wife Elizabeth b. 1805 in Morgan County Indiana 1924 (Indiana Marriages 1802-1892). 1830 Morgan Co. census shows Larkin Johnson and wife in 20-30 age range (b. 1803 and 1805), with 1 son under 5 (John L. b.1830 IN) and 1 daughter under 5 (unknown). In 1840 census for Clay, Illinois is Larkin Johnson, 1 male and 1 female in 30-40 range, 1 male under 5 (Thomas, b.1839), 1 male 5-10 (Henry, b.1835), 1 male 10-15 (John L), 1 female 5-10 (Sarah Jane b. 1832), and 1 female 10-15 (unknown, same as 1830 census). In 1850 all are in Larkin's LR home except the unknown oldest daughter. Benjamin may be related, but doesn't seem to fit in as a son -- maybe nephew or even brother. Don't see homestead papers for Larkin Johnson in LR. Widow Elizabeth homesteaded in 1871-1878 -- different land from where Larkin was in 1850? Papers say she has 6 children. Witnesses were John Trammell and Henry Johnson. Looking at map, Elizabeth's homestead is very close to BD's, with one 80 acre property between. BD's and SM's adjoin each other to the north. Have wondered if Blackston Cartwright in 1850 Tunica MS census is the BG Cartwright in 1840 LR census. In 1840 census there were: Males: 1 under 5, 1 10-15, 1 20-30; Females: 1 under 5, 3 15-20, 1 50-60. In 1850 Tunica looks like Cartwright and Matlock families are together -- maybe combined earlier too in 1840 LR? Jane Cartwright is 65, two children were born in AR, Elizabeth and Susan Matlock are similar age, both born in SC. Thanks for the geography explanation -- that helps -- and will look at the web link.

I think I have learned more abt Johnsons than what I ever wanted to know :) I looked a little for the siblings of your dad just in case you didn't have the info and wanted to send for death certs. Judie Ethel married Joseph Thomas Eubanks. They moved to Fannin Co TX. She is listed on the death index as Ethes Eubanks died Feb 12 1949, buried in Duplex/Liberty Cem Fannin Co. Jane Gertrude Dore married William Thomas Withem. She died Oct 29 1973 and is buried in the Arden Cem, LR Co. She is not on the SSDI. Dolie M. (Dore) Thomas died Jun 28 1960 Grayson Co TX. Not able to find Mertie/Mirtis Johnson after 1920(married John Ford). Gracie J. Davis Nov 10 1899-Jun 5 1977 in Arden Cem. Is she a Dore or a Johnson since SM & Lue married in Feb 1899. Still can not find where Myrtis/Mildred Hankins died. Sometime back I gave you the info on Charlie Dore being buried in Arden and having married an Ethel Gray. I have found out that he is buried in Arden and was first married to Gracie Lewis Dore buried beside him. Gracie died in 1930, so they must have divorced and he married Ethel Gray. He & Ethel are in the Polk Co census 1930 with her 2 kids from prev marriage. Charles and Gracie's kids are with her mother in Choctaw Co OK. They were Manda, 1916, Frank 1918, Gertrude 1921,Edith 1924 & Charles Jr 1925 all AR. Gertrude was adopted by her mother's sister, Dovie Lewis McMahon. William Frank Dore died in 1973 in Kern Co CA.

I am not from LR Co, my dad is. I am not too good with the geography, either. Wallace is sw of Alleene. There is no straight shot to get there from Wallace, the roads form somewhat of a triangle. Picture Alleene at the top of the triangle and Wallace in the middle of the bottom. Alleene is in Burke TWP, the one east is Lick Creek. So, they are close. I have seen Wallace in Jackson TWP 1910 & 1920. As a matter of fact, the Sophronia Froney Johnson that married the Mauldin and then the Lowery was living next door to my great granparents in the 1920 Jackson TWP census. I have family I can not find on 1870 and 1930, but have not had a problem running them down in the other census. I have tried searching for these Johnsons just using first names, places of birth and age, using wildcards on the names, etc. I think they were probably all living close and the enumerator happened to miss that certain area. I was doing some looking earlier for Glenda Skidmore on Henry Johnson b ca 1856. Looks as if he was son to Larkin b ca 1803 GA. Some of Larkins kids were b IN & IL. Makes me wonder if BF maybe was one of his. Larkin was in Sevier Co 1850 & 60. There was an elder Larkin in AR too b 1788.

Looking at the 1880 census Jackson TWP LR Co,there is HH Johnson 25 TX LA TX living with John B Trammell and wife Narcissus as brother in law. There is another connection to the Trammells and Johnsons. Tracing Narcissa, I believe she is a Cartwright. On the 1870 census Jackson TWP LR Co, she is next door to Elizabeth Johnson, widow. Elizabeth has children Henry 1856 AR, James 1858 AR & Martha Ann 1861. Next door is Mary F.Cartwright 1844 MS & Narcissi E. 1846 MS. 1860 Jackson TWP Sevier Co, Larkin Johnson 1803 GA, Elizabeth 1824 NC, Gillespie Cartwright 1843 LA, Frances 1845(Mary F above) LA, Narcissa 1848 LA, Harry(Henry) 1855 AR & James 1858 AR. Harry/Henry and James are Johnsons. 1850 Tunica Co MS Blackston Cartwright 1810 KY, Elizabeth 1823 SC, Jane 1838 AR,Gillespie 1842 MS, Mary 1844 MS, Narcissa 1847 MS, Finnis 2 mos MS. 1850 Jackson TWP Sevier Co AR Larkin Johnson 1805 GA, Elizabeth 1805 NC, John L 1830 IN, Henry 1835 IL & Thomas 1839 IL. Next door is dtr Sarah 1831 IL married to Edward Sheppard. Whoever it is that has Narcissa Johnson married to John B Trammell is in error. She was a Cartwright and step dtr to Larkin Johnson. The Henry you were asking about is the same as the one belonging to Larkin Johnson, I believe. He was brother in law to John B. Trammell as he was Narcissa's half brother. 1920 census Yell Co, Henry and wife have moved to Yell Co where he died. AR death index has him as Henry H(as do 1880, 1910 & 1920 census) died Dec 24 1924 in Yell Co. No entry for a Mildred. Mildred was dtr to Wm S Brown b 1829 LA and Minerva/Mernerva b 1836 AR. They were in Polk Co 1870 and then to LR Co by 1880. Good luck, Rayedene Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Don't know how they escaped 1880 and 1900 census either, but they're not alone -- can't find BF Johnson or Emily in those census, or Ida Richardson anywhere. I see from land patent info. that JL Richardson's homestead (started 1889, certificate 1896) was nearly adjoining SM and BD's. So would make sense that Richardson family might be Ida's. These homesteads were in Wallace area, I think (not too good on the geography). Land BF and Emily acquired about 1868 was close to Rocky Comfort, and originally homesteaded by Lemuel Taylor I think (homestead certificate 1860). David Taylor is grantee on 1868 mortgage document. BF and Emily also owned and sold some land near Aleene. Is that close to Lick Creek area where Emily had family (Carroll and Curry) from Louisiana? Her brother Jacob Curry was in Jackson before 1860, maybe the first to come. Emily and others followed. But still don't know how BF got there, alone or with them. Workin! g at finding out.

On the death index her maiden name is Bradshaw, mother Lemon. In the Sevier Co marriages, Needham D Bradshaw 27 md Mrs. Elen Lemon 16 Dec 29 1852. 1860 census Sevier Co and 1870 LR Co Mary E is there with them. But, not on 1880. Also on the CA deaths, there is Carl who was b Apr 25 1887 AR mother maiden name Bradshaw. Carl Weatherly married Mary Hollowell in 1914 LR Co. 1920 Bowie Co census has Carl 32 & Mary 23 with dtrs Fay and Mattie as well as......William C 67 b SC as father! He states he is married, once, for 35 yrs. Mary is on the Coal Co census 1920 and she states she is widowed. On 1910, he is in Pontotoc Co with dtr Willie Erwin and husb Peter, he states he is married. Mary in LR 1910 also states she is married and has 6 children living. They are not in the LR Co divorce bk. WWl draft cards Pontotoc Co has a Samuel who states his next of kin is Mary E. Does not state if he is married or single. I can not find him for sure on a census to see if his wife is Mary or his mother is Mary. If it is his mother, he may be one of the 6 children living. If that is the case, we have Bonnie b 1879(who I think was also Mary E & may dec by 1910), Aggie 1875, Willie 1881, Walter1889, Carl 1887 and Samuel 1885. I have been completely unsuccessful finding any of them in 1880 or 1900. Walter married Ethel Sanders in Coal Co bet Mar 1919 & May 1921. There is a Sam Weatherly b OK on CA deaths with mother as Sanders, could be Walters son. 1930 Carl is in LA CA as Carl Weatherby. Went back to see if I could find them with that spelling 1880 & 1900 but still no luck. 1930 Willie Erwin and husb Peter are in Hidalgo Co TX and Marry E is living with them. She states she was b in SC, now instead of AR; her mthr b IRE. That has been consistent and mother states she was b IRE on the census. 1920 Coal Co OK, there is a John H Weatherly who states he was b AR 1881 mthr AR fthr SC. WWl draft card is in Coal Co w birth date Jan 16 1880. Another possible child. Rayedene Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Are in 1910 Arden census (Mary E Wathey b.1855 AR and Walter Weatherly b. 1891 AR). Aggie died about 1917 - husband widowed in 1920 census. There's a WWI draft card for Walter, 1917, Pontotoc, OK, single, with mother. Both are in 1920 census for Jefferson, Coal, OK, with Walter recently married.

That's some great sleuthing, Rayedene. In his 5 Feb 1894 homestead testimony at Camden Land Office he says he is 33 yrs. old, born in Illinois, has a wife and four children, and has resided on the homestead since Dec. 1886. Witnesses for him, by the way, were John B Trammell, James J Trammell, Joseph A Mauldin, and Bennet G. Cartwright. Mrs. BC in the 1900 census sounds like Bonnie C Weatherly, and it does look like BD in 1920 OK census next to son. I think I'll have to spend more time looking into Bowie records -- some roads keep leading back there. Thanks for being such a big help, Rayedene.

WA births in the Washington Births 1901-1907 index. Births are 1901, 1904, and 1906. Father is Mauldin on two and Maulden on one. Mother is Richardson on all three. CF's daughter Ida B married Shadrack Rogers in LR County 1887. She is Ida Rodgers in 1900 Little River, LR census, head, with Rodgers children ages 1 to 10. Living with her is father CF and sister Lula F (Lee or Lu on census record). She remarried in 1903 to Elias Taylor and is Ada B. Taylor in Arkinda, LR 1910 census with children from Rogers and Taylor, and two adults I can't identify. LR Marriages says Ida Rodgers married C. Helms in 1917 -- don't know if that's her or not. Lost her in 1920 census, but in 1930 she's in Muskogee, OK as Ida Taylor living with son Vinton P. Taylor. So she was in LR 1887, about the time BD was starting to homestead. I'm thinking father CF and sister Lulia F arrived later. There's an 1889 land mortgage document with BD and CW as grantors. Don't have the document, just a list of documents with those initials. C.W. could be first wife, or could be brother Charles W. Johnson. There's a CW Johnson boarding with Lory Braughton and wife Martha in 1900 LR,LR census. Martha Braughton is I believe Martha M Johnson, another of CF's children, who judging from age of children has been in LR since about 1888. So that's possibly 5 of CF's children in LR around 1900. Tutt's had a daughter Barbara, b. 1868. Can't locate her in LR, though. Don't see son RC after the 1900 census. Thanks for the pointers to Bowie and Oklahoma and Benjamin D. I'm going to look at those next. Got Samuel M's death certificate and gives a birth date of 8 Jan 1861 but no other new information. More to come.

Not that I research there very much but am curious. CF Johnson married NL Tutt Sep 10 1901. Mrs Arbell Tutt married WC Helms Aug 16 1903. Mrs RB Helms to JL Richardson 1909. 1870 Montgomery Co, Benj D has younger sister Ida B b 1868 AR. Kind of a coincedence he has a sister by the same name that married SM Johnson. She is is still at home on the 1880 and so is Benj D. I believe I found him in 1900 in Bowie Co as B Johnson b 1861 IL. He has children Ellma(dtr) Apr 1883 AR IL AR;Louis B Apr 1887 AR IL AR;Virgil A Jun 1889 AR IL AR; Gracie N Apr 1892 AR IL AR; and Mrs BC Mar 1879 TX NC NC. Now is that Bonnie, he and she both state they have been married 3 yrs. So, he was married previously to someone b AR. That makes sense with the land records you found. Going further I found Louis and Virgil both in Pontotoc Co OK in 1910. WWl draft cards state Virgil Arthur b July 19 1889 in Richmond AR; Lewis Benjamin b Apr 3 1887 in LR Co AR(card in Bryan Co). This also fits with the info from the homestead docs you have. I would say this is the right B Johnson in Bowie Co. Virgil was still in Pontotoc Co 1920 with a Ben D Johnson next door age 59. Lewis was in Latimer Co 1920. 1930 Lewis was in Eddy Co NM and has son Benjamin Marion. Didn't find Virgil in 1930 but he did not die until 1975 in Pontotoc Co I think it was. Have looked for Benjamin after 1900, but not able to locate him. Also, have not been able to find the dtrs and who they married. Arabella Smith married Clement Tutt Aug 7 1865 Red River Co TX. No Tutt marriages for the son in LR and no listings for any Tutt burials in LR. Lou Tutt Johnson died Sep 3 1938 in LR Co. I think that is abt all I could find with the clues in your last message.

Daughter "L" Richardson is probably "T" Richardson -- my error. Also found Tennie and JA Mauldin in birth records for three children in Clark County Washington, born 1901-1906. Her name is given as 'Tennessee'. One record lists JA as a mill worker. In 1910 he is in Bryan OK census widowed with children. Sister Emma Wiggington, widow, and children are also there.

In the Richardson family in the 1870 Bowie census there is a daughter "L" b. 1873 in TN. Is she 'Ida'? But the census enumerator clearly wrote 'L'. Fronie is in 1920 Jackson LR census as Fronie Lawrey and 1930 Wallace LR census as F.C. Lowery. Re John L. Richardson: He must have remarried after Amanda's death in 1902. There's a "John Richison" in the 1910 census, wife is Belle, 52, born in Alabama. John L is said to be 18, b. TN, but an alternate birth date of 1938 is given. Wife Belle seems to be 'Arabella Tutt', found in 1870 precinct 5 Bowie TX census, and as 'Arbella Tutt' in the 1880 precinct 4 Bowie TX precinct (John L was precinct 3 in 1880), and as 'R B Tutt' in the 1900 Little River, LR census. After JL dies 1917, Belle is in 1920 Jeff Davis, LR census (Dell Richardson) living with daughter Lou Tutt (now Lou Johnson). Lou Tutt married Carroll Finley Johnson in 1901. CF Johnson b.1841 Fayette, Illinois, lived 1870's and 1880's in South Fork, Montgomery AR, and moved to LR sometime before 1900. His first wife was Sarah Ellen Gardener, and from that marriage I find three or possibly four of his children in LR around 1900. One is Benjamin D. Johnson, b. 1861 Illinois, who homesteaded next to Samuel M.! Johnson at the time Samuel was married to Ida Richardson, and that seems to bring this story full circle, doesn't it. I don't find BD Johnson in any census records, but have a copy of BD Johnson's homestead papers (1887-1894) and he says he has a wife and children - don't know who they were. BD was witness along with JA Mauldin, BG Cartwright, and JJ Trammell for Samuel M's homestead application(1888-1895). There are some warranty deed documents btw. BD and Mary E. Weatherly 1898, after BD married Bonnie Weatherly in 1897, and there's a 1900 Quitclaim deed with Joseph A Mauldin as Grantee. Coincidence that BD and SM are both named Johnson, or a family connection? Re. Samuel Johnson and Luella: Samuel's full name was Samuel Merrit Johnson. The marriage license for S M Johnson and L E Dore 1899 Bowie revealed no new information about names or families. Luella's first name on several land documents is Lucresie (Lucresia, Lucretia)and middle initial is "E". Waiting for some death certificates to show up and hopefully learn more.
