Ruth had sisters Cynthia, Roxie, and Emma "Reedie". I believe that Ruth descended from a Native American. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If not, can anyone tell me where in Lonoke County I might find someone to help? Thanks so much

The fish was crisp and crunchy, the fellowship warm and friendly, and the weather was great. Ms. Ashley was there enjoying all as she sold more copies of her cookbook, Thirty Years at The Mansion. KK Kennedy and his guys were just great. The bluegrass group put together by Jim VonTungeln was outstanding. The Greater Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church's Men's Chorus was for the sixth year in a row a crowd pleasing favorite. All politicans in attendance were introduced to the crowd that was in attendance. Everyone in attendance reported having a great time. Plans are already under way for the seventh birthday celebration.

Your very best bet to learn something is to contact Sherryl Miller in Lonoke. If you live close enough, she will make arrangements to meet you at the local library and assist you. If you do not, then I would suggest that you write Sherryl Miller at the Lonoke County Museum, PO Box 873, Lonoke, Ar. 72086. She will not do e-mail. Or you can phone her at 501-676-2496. Sherryl will go to the history commission in Little Rock to search if necessary. She will want an outline of what you are looking for, who it is, time frame, the county, etc. Sherryl will tell you where she looked, so you know that place has been searched. She does this strictly as a fund raiser. Sherryl will expect a donation to the museum building fund for her efforts. Sherryl has written at least three books and is highly regarded in this area. Good luck--- Linda T. Acrey Lonoke, Arkansas P. S. My mother was born at Keo too, just years later. That was considered a good area to be in at the time. It was all farming country and is not all that far from Little Rock.

Willard is in the 1910 and Jesse G. is listed with yet another wife in the 1910, Charles L. is not listed in the 1910 or thereafter. in 1870 there is a large North family listed in Cross County, Searcy Twsp. also from TN, he is L. North, the whole family is nothing but initials. L. North is 65 and J G is living with them he is 25 and so is a J. A. who is 22, both are males, I am banking this L. North is either an uncle or father. Next I did a wildcard search for Cha* North: in 1920 he is in Brewer, Arkansas in Arkansas County. He is Charley with wife Nettie, daughter Gladdis and brother in law Sam Young, this is so faint, very hard to read even that. In the 1930 there are still in Brewer and so is his brother Thomas J. Charles L. is listed with wife Nettie, daughters Gladys, L. Irene, Lois A. and son Thomas A. Thomas J. is with his wife Mernie and a whole house full, LOL.

(these names are one and the same cemtery) Eaglerest Cemetery in on the old Eagle plantation property now owed by Mr. George Howell at the end of Eaglerest Rd. 1 mile east of Arkansas Hwy. 15, south on US 70 This is probably a black cemetery. Although the gate may be closed it is generally unlocked and should be closed before and after you open it. Eaglerest Rd is a dirt farm road. After you enter the farm, go .4 tenths of a mile to turn off across a culvert to the left. Proceed another .6 tenths of a mile to the cemetery, which cannot be generally seen from the road. The cemetery is on your right in some trees, and is in bad shape. Ocer grown with weeds and vines, watch for snakes. The cememtery was inventoried on the 18th March 1995 by Tom Martinet. There are many unmarked graves and possibly other marked graves in the tall brush and vines. It is believed by Mr. Howell that this cemetery was probably a slave cemetery for the original plantation. The Green Olive Cemetery is possibly another slave cemetery on the same farm. There is no Johnson listed in this cemetery. Just the following names: Elbert Brewer Charlie Brown Era Griffin baby Griffin girl Lewis Pickens Shley, no first name known James Simpkins Mary Widemon I I looked up in the Index for Binnie V Johnson and found no name listed as that. I did find a Charles and Donia at the Lonoake City Cemetery There listed as follows: Charlie L. Litton h/o Donia Duggar Litton sec E row 1 grave 1 (Birth) 22 Oct 1867- (Death) 2 Dec 1952 Donia Duggar Litton w/o Charlie L. Litton sec E row 1 grave 2 (Birth) 2 Dec 1869 - (Death) 1 Feb 1925 Charles L Litton s/o Charlie & Donia Sec E row 1 grave 3 (Birth) 17 Oct 1895- (Death) 14 Sep 1900 Elsie Litton d/o Charlie & Donia Litton sec E row 5 grave 2 (Birth) 1 Apr 1900-(Death) 31 May 1901 James D. Litton (Plot Owner Charles Litton) sec E Row 5 grave 1 (Birth) 8 Jul 1908-(Death) 20 Aug 1912 This is all I have been able to find. Hope this helps. Laura
