I am searching for any information on Martha Bryant, born around 1850, near Huntsville Ark. she married John Thomas Brown ,when and where.? . Helen

Is anyone researching the family of Minyard Parker, who is found on the 1900 Madison Co. census in Goodwill Twp? Minyard was born Dec 1858. His wife was Nancy, and their children shown in 1900 are Walter, Henry, Wilma. I am looking for the father of Thomas L. Parker, b. Dec 1891 AR, who lived four doors away, in the household of Wilson Rose. Thomas Parker is shown as grandson of Wilson Rose. Wilson Rose had 4 daughters - Martha married Henry Clay Pharris, Sarah married Wiley Walker, Nancy married (Unknown) Hart, Julia married (unknown) Vaughn, so that leaves me scratching my head over the parents of Thomas Parker. Is there any connection to Minyard's family four houses down the road (or what passed for a road in 1900 Goodwill Twp). Thanks for your help. Terri Walker

Hi, looking for Brenda Shue, i tried to access her family tree on the Madison County site but was unable to do so, would like to talk to her about a couple of names she has listed. Ray

No, there are no available tax lists in the 1890's. We have searched for them before, with the purpose of trying to make a list of people here in the early 1890's. This would be helpful due to the fact that there is no 1890 census. But the tax lists for that time period seem to be non-existant. Joy Russell Madison County Genealogical & Historical Society

Is there a tax list for Madison County for the yeas of 1889, 1890, 1891, and 1892? I am trying to determine if a McCormick family was in the county during those years. If there is no tax lists, does anyone have any suggestions as to my next step. K. Verdaine Hooper Marked Tree, AR

Sondra, I forgot to mention that the 1880 Carroll Co, AR census images are on-line on the Carroll Co. website through US Genweb. In case you don't have the web address, it's www.usgenweb.com. You can go to any county within any state. The information each county has varies, but all sites appear to be adding data all the time.

Sondra, I have a lot of info on the Houston & Fanning lines, as my two oldest children are direct descendants of both. This is what I have on your line: Linnie Houston was b. 30 Mar 1882 AR, m. Thomas Stevens b. ca 1875 AR, d. 13 May 1953 OK in a car accident. Their children: 1) Ordie Virgil Stevens b. 14 Aug 1902, m. Claudy Barley and had two children - Dias Ray & Johnnie Stevens; 2) William Thomas Stevens b. 1 Sept 1909 AR, m. ? and had two children - Wendle Gene & Charles Odell Stevens; 3) Cleo Stevens b. 30 Aug 1920 OK m. Walter Rose and had three children - Noel Elmo, Vinita Iris & Deloris Jo Rose; 4) Junior Chase Stevens b. 31 Oct 1925 OK m. Freda Bryant and had five children - Daril Chaise, Dale Eugene, Freda Larese, Tommy Virgil & Cheris Kay. With the gap between the births of 2nd child, Wm. Thos. Stevens, and 3rd child, Cleo Stevens, I wonder if I have missed a generation, or should have placed them differently. Would appreciate it if you could straighten me out on these. :-) Linnie Houston was the d/o William Riley Houston & Celia Jane Boren. William Riley Houston was b. 18 Mar 1859 AR, d. 28 Sept 192??. He was a s/o James Calvin & Sarah (Birkes) Houston & I have more on this line. Celia Jane (Boren) Houston was b. 27 Jan 1861, d. 6 Jan 1894 of fatal burns. She was the d/o Mary Fanning & her 2nd husband, John Boren (who may have been the s/o James & Ruthy Boren). Mary Fanning was b. ca 1842 in Morgan Co, IL and m. 1st to Lorenzo Dow "Dal" Weaver, s/o Cannon Roar & Abigail (Bolton) Weaver, who was killed by Indians in 1857 on a wagon train which was trying to catch up with the famous Fancher wagon train involved in the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I have more on the history of this as well. It is doubtful that Dal & Mary had any children together. William Riley & Celia Jane (Boren) Houston had another daughter besides Linnie who was named Effie. She was b. 10 Oct 1878 AR and also died of burns, but not until 2 Jan 1896. She was married to Marcus J. Copeland and had only one child named Byrd (a male I think) before she died. She is buried in the Rockhouse Cemetery. Mary (Fanning) Weaver Boren m. a 3rd time abt. 1867 to Demps Brown, s/o Tillman & Elizabeth Brown, b. ca 1832 White Co, TN. By this husband she had 7 more children: 1) Mary Frances b. ca 1867 AR; 2) Frank b. ca 1868 AR; 3) George b. ca 1870 AR m. Cynthia Martin; 4) Cora b. ca 1874 m. ? McCarthy; 5) Susan b. ca 1877, d. 29 Feb 1949 Carbon Co, WY - never married; 6) Earnest Tillman b. 6 June 1880, d. 26 Dec 1965, bur. High Cem. in Carroll Co, AR, m. 19 Sept 1909 to Mary Jane High; and 7) Richard Brown b. ca 1885, d. ca 1915 - never married. After Celia died, William Riley Houston m. 2nd to Mary Frances Brown (Celia's 1/2 sister), d/o Demps & Mary (Fanning) Brown. Mary Frances Brown was b. ca 1867 AR, d. in 1960 CA. They had 10 children together: 1) Sarah; 2) Dora; 3) Anna; 4) Henry; 5) Raymond; 6) Verna; 7) William; 8) Sherman; 9) Cecil and 10) Norma. I have more on these as well. Mary (Fanning) Weaver Boren Brown was a d/o George Washington "Wash" Fanning Jr. & Celia Criswell. Wash was b. 5 Oct 1813 Giles Co, TN, d. 1895 Madison Co, AR & Celia, d/o Samuel & Patience Criswell, was b. 25 Mar 1813 AL, d. 25 Apr 1877 or 1880. Both are buried at Rockhouse Cemetery. They were on the 1850, 1860 & 1870 Madison Co. census and Wash was on the 1880 Carroll Co, AR census with only two children living in his household. I checked the 1880 Madison Co, AR census to see if I could determine who the parents of Thomas Stevens might have been. None of the Stevens/Stephens families had a son in the household named Thomas or Luther, so they may have been living in Carroll Co. instead. The Rockhouse Community is right on the Carroll/Madison Co. line and I have found them taxed in one county one year and the other county the next year. I checked for the marriage of Thomas & Linnie in the marriage records which have been published in both the Madison County Musings and the Carroll County Historical Quarterly, but didn't find one for them. I wonder if they married in Oklahoma. Do you know? I have much more information in notes, but unfortunately I don't have it on computer yet. This info was typed in the "old" days of electric typewriters, and I have just continued to add to this. I would be happy to share anything with you though. Also would love to get your line updated as completely as possible. You can e-mail me directly if you would like to get more in-depth information to avoid boring other members of this list group.

Thank you for the information and discussion of the Fading Memories and Cemetery books. I recommend that anyone interested in Madison County become a member of the Madison County Genealogical and Historical Society for their quarterly, "Madison County Musings". I've been a member since 1992 and plan to keep my membership in my genealogy budget forever. My issues are tattered, worn and full of markers from reading them and going back through them each time I find a new tidbit or name.
