BillieIrene, William C. Roark is listed in the 1850 Kings River Twp, Madison Co. AR census. Living with him ar Amelia, age 15, Elmyra?, age 13, Williamson, age 10, and John, age 8, all born AR. Also in the household is Thomas Smith, age 28, laborer. I also found where a William C. Roark purchased 39.68 acres in Madison Co. AR on Feb.1, 1860. You can find this record at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov You might contact Pea Ridge National Military Park, 15930 Highway 62, Garfield, AR 72732 ; Phone 479-451-8122, and inquire if they have any records. I did not find any burial records in Benton Co. nor in the Confederate Cemetery at Fayetteville or the Fayetteville National Cemetery.

I enjoy reading your Obits even if I don't know them..... I am wondering if you might help me with my GGG-Grandfather who was killed at the Battle of Pea Ridge in 1862.(Confederate) I am very limited in my computer genealogy skills..... I am wondering if you might be able to find out where he is buried. His name is William Carroll Roark born 1814 in Tenn. I believe he married Elizabeth Shepherd and they moved to Madison Co. in 1833 or 1834 their first child (of 4) was born in Madison Co., Ark., in 1835. I found them in the 1840 census, but no mention of his wife.... Any help you can offer will be greatfully appreciated. Thank you very much...
