Thanks for the kind words they are always appreciated. With a name like Everett from Marion County my first thought is the Tutt-Everett War. If this is your ancestor there is a lot of information - Go back to the Marion Co site and go to Myths & Legends and you'll find the stories. In the event that your Everett is not "that " one - I'm also forwarding this message to the Marion Co list and perhaps some one there has some information on the Everett family line. <LIST FOLKS - remember to respond directly to: [email protected]> Linda homepage: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haas MarionCoAR: http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion/ TulsaCoOK: http://www.rootsweb.com/~oktulsa2 MuskogeeCoOk: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okmuskog SurnameLists: H.A.A.S/H.A.S.S.

(A friend thought that it wouldn't get in the Calendar of Events and submitted it, and, of course, got the wrong dates).

Calvin, Seabern, and Wesley Deshields (John Wesley, Marion Seabern, and Calvin DeShields/Dashiell) represented Macedonia church at the thirty fifth annual session of the Buffalo Association of Regular Primitive Baptists held with Mount Gilead Church in Newton County, Arkansas on September 8-10th 1883. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the minutes of this meeting or the minutes of the Macedonia church? Also, is there any school records before 1860? Per the Turnbo Tales, Handy DeShields had a school which they called DeShields School. Would like to know who was the teacher. Handy or Nancy could not read or write per the 1850 census.

Don, check page 61 in "Genealogies of Marion Co Families 1811-1900." Also check page 148 in "History of Marion Co." There's Butler info in both places.

Earl, Thanks for the note, you had me going there for a while, Ernest Chester Wickersham married Martha Pearl Doshier, who had been previously married to Wesley Wilson. I was not connecting the Wilson name. R. Lee Hayes was born about 1876 and died in 1944, he is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery, Marion, Arkansas. He married Ellen Butler who was born 3 Mar 1889 in Marion Co. AR and died 30 Jun 1958 in Marion Co. AR. She is also buried in the Mountain View Cemetery. Ellen was the daughter of Henry C. Butler and Amanda Virginia Noe. I have not located a James A. Butler Family, will need some more detail on when, where and maybe his spouse? Hope this helps.

Sandy, I am addressing this to you and both the Marion and Boone County List. Since there is so much I have typed, someone else may need this info too. Here is just some from the Dodson Book which I obtained a photocopy of from it's compiler Luther Wood. Luther is related to the Dodsons, the Dentons, and the Woods. This is a book which was printed of his research for his family. I found Luther and his wife well when I last visited them in about 1999. Luther is a retired school teacher and seems to be very accurate in his information. Here is a little of what I have. CHARLES DODSON, SR (b. abt 1649) in probably England. Married Ann ? in 1678-1680. Charles Sr lived in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Va. He was a large land owner which he left to his sons with the restriction they could not sell except to one another. Charles Sr was respected by his neighbors. Charles and Ann's Children: Charles Jr married Ann ? (seems unusual - same as his dad) Thomas born 15 May 1681 in Richmond, Va; married Mary Durham ca 1739-1740 Bartholomew Richard, Born Richmond, Va, married Elizabeth Clark before 1707 William (no information available John born early 1700s married Elizabeth (Lizzie) Goad about 1784 Lambeth born late 1600s in Richmond, Va, married Sarah Harris in the early 1720s Ann (no information available) Elizabeth (no information available) ~~~~~~~~~~ Lambeth Dodson was born in the late 1600s in Richmond Va and Sarah Harris who was the daughter of Philip Harris. they were married in the early 1720s. Lambeth bought 190 acres of land in old Halifax Co, Nov 11, 1749, also 400 acres June 22, 1765 and 200 acres Dec 1, 1779. Their Children: Mary - April 3, 1724 - Richmond Co., Va Ann (Nancy) born July 20, 1734 in Richmond, Va John born 1720-1730 Went to White Co, Tnn about 1789 born Richmond Co., Va Charles Lambeth, Jr married Elizabeth Daniel married Alsy about 1810 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lambeth, Jr married Elizabeth ? and He owned land in Henry Co, Va Their children: Esau born ca 1754 served in Rev. War in Burke Co, NC in 1790 Richard 1740-1750 married Mary ca 1829 Charles 1740-1750 Lambeth III married Hannah Witt before 1814 Reuben 1750s married Agnes Whitlock - Sept 10, 1804 William 1740s (he was in White Co, Tn 1820 census) born VA ~~~~~~~~ I have a typed transcription of the land grant from Tennessee Grant no 93 to William Dodson for 100 acres in White Co., Tn William Sr born late 1750s and is believe to have been married twice but no names are known. He died after 1830 in White Co., Tn and is burried in Beech Cove Cem which is 6 miles east of Bone Cove, Tn. He serve in the Rev War from Henry Co, Va. He lived in White Co, Tn in 1820 Census He bought 100 acres of land in Beech Cove area in Van Buren Co, Tn 1826 Went to White Co, Tn in 1808 Partial list of children - no daughters are known Simon born 1761-1772 in Pittsylvania Co., Va married Phoebe Hollingsworth Mar 29, 1794 died after 1833 William Jr (Bucky) born Feb 2, 1793 in Patrick, Va married Martha Frances Peck about 1818 She died Aug 9, 1879 Eli born 1798 (he had one son, Eli Jr, Went to Patrick , Va his wife died about 1828 in White Co., Tn. Daniel born 1790 - 1800 (land owner white co, tn) married before 1820 Note: have typed transcription of William "Bucky" Dodson obituary and Will I believe this is where your information starts. Since Luther's Family came from Daniel Blue Dodson who married Emaline Denton he did not trace Eli further. As far as the Cantrells. First the Cantrells owned a store in Lead Hill at one time. In my Wilmoth/Wilmouth information I have group sheets on : Isom Jasper Cantrell born Feb 8, 1856 Abner Cantrell born 1795 in Spartansburg South Carolina Thomas Cantrell born 1825 married Martha Goad I also have in my possession the ORIGINAL land grant for William P Cantrell the ORIGINAL quick claim deed for Eli Dodson and Mary A Dodson where my great great grandfather John Wesley DeShields purchased their land (Eli has the most beautiful penmanship I have seen. Mary signed too. the ORIGINAL Deed of Conveyance from William P Cantrell and Elizabeth Cantrell to James M St. John for land. the ORIGINAL land grant for Eli Dodson in 1850. I obtained these originals from the estate of John Wesley DeShields who had passed them on to his daughter Minnie DeShields Wilmoth. When John Wesley died, he had loaned money on property all over Boone County. Since the estate was "settled" most could not pay upon demand and most was written off. This is why I still have the originals. John Wesley was a carpenter and his brother was a stone mason. He was married to Frankey Green DeShields who was the daughter of Mike Green. Anyway, this is a short (?) version of what I have. If you want more on this line, email me and I will mail you what I have. If anyone else needs copies of this email me but be patient as I can be slow. Reta DeShields Parton [email protected]

Earl, here's what I find in "Cemeteries of Marion Co" by Lester and Marian Burnes, page 57: Mountain View Cemetery (also known as Fallen Ash Cemetery and Noe Cemetery). H C Butler, husband of Amanda Noe, 22 Oct 1862 - 17 April 1917. Amanda Noe Butler 1866-1952. Augusta Butler, daughter of Gus and Jess, 2 Dec 1918 - 30 Oct 1926. Lee Hayes 1876-1944. Ellen Butler Hayes, daughter of H C Butler, wife of Lee Hayes, 3 May 1899 - 30 June 1958. Imogene Hayes, daughter of Lee and Ellen, 29 July 1914 - 11 March 1915. Flippin Cemetery. James Elbert Butler, husband of Cora McCracken, WW I, 9 Aug 1894 - 4 Sep 1975. Cora McCracken Butler 11 Dec 1894 - 5 April 1982. Zelma and Thelma Butler, twins, 4 June 1916 - 16 Dec 1916 and 4 June 1916 - 17 Dec 1916. Yellville Cemetery (also known as Layton Cemetery). Madge B Hayes 26 Sep 1910 - 3 Feb 1975. Woodrow W Hayes, son of Lee, 1912 - 1956. Tenni C Hayes 1879 - 19??. John W Hayes 1836 - 1938. Hayden R, husband of Pearl Evans, 3 July 1903 - 30 Oct 1958. Lola Pearl Evans Hayes 15 June 1917 - 28 Jan 1986. Raymond Halbert Hays 12 Feb 1921 - 31 July 1986. In "Marion Co Marriage Records 1905-1917" by Marian Burnes & Vicki Roberts: Book I: R L Hayes aged 30 of Flippin m MCAR 28 Nov 1909 Ellen Butler aged 20 of Yellville. I find no further information about R Lee Hayes. He might be in the Marion Co 1900 and 1910 and 1920 census, but I don't have access to these sources here at home. Looks to me as if there's a possibility Lee Hayes was married before he married Ellen Butler. In 1997 the Historic Genealogical Society of Marion Co published "Genealogies of Marion Co Families 1811-1900" by Mysty McPherson & Vicki Roberts. The Butler, Noe, and McCracken families are covered along with about 400 other families that settled here by 1900. You can find further information about this book at http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion. It's in its second printing and has been a very popular publication. Are you by any chance the Earl Wickersham that's the son of Ernest & Martha Pearl (Doshier) Wickersham? If I can be of further help, please let me know.

Lyn, the surname MATNEY does not appear in the Marion Co AR 1850, 1860, nor 1870 census. You can view the 1860 and 1870 census for Carroll Co at the Carroll Co web page. Boone Co was created primarily from Carroll Co in 1869. Checking both the 1860 and 1870 Carroll Co census will indicate whether these people were removed to Boone Co in 1869. I'm pretty sure they were 'cuz I've tripped over the surname there a few times. You can also check the Boone Co web page for more possible information.

I saw this on another list and I'm passing it on for your information. Rhio Gillis, listowner The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2002 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. An Old Genealogy Scam Reappears There is a Web site that sends out unsolicited e-mails offering to give you access to the world's largest genealogy database for only $44.95. At first, that might sound like a good deal. However, the e-mails don't mention the source of this "world's largest" genealogy database. It is the Internet and is free to everyone --except for the gullible folks who fall for these e-mails. What the e-mails do not tell you is that your money only buys you access to a list of links. These links on the Web site present the other sites inside HTML frames, making it look like the other sites are a part of original site's "service." They do this without telling you that the contents are not created by them, but actually are the intellectual property of the originators. > > FamilyDiscovery.com was one source of these misleading e-mails. The site was in business for a year or so and gained notoriety within the genealogy community. Their Web site disappeared recently, apparently being shut down by the Internet service provider that hosted the online "service" after complaints by many users. However, a new Web site has recently appeared, operating a site that looks like FamilyDiscovery.com but under a different name. It appears that the owner of the new Web site is the same person who owned the earlier one. The new Web site is Genealogy-Developments.com. > > The new Web site proclaims that you can "Search Over 23 Billion Genealogy Records Right From This Website." That claim is absolutely correct. Of course, you can search the same 23 billion records without going to that Web site and without paying $44.95. If you read the fine print at http://www.genealogy- developments.com/faqs.html, you will note that it says, "We do not offer access to a database of records but we do offer the ability to search billions of online records spanned across the Internet." The reality is that you can find all those links, and more, elsewhere on the Web. I suspect that most of them are available on Cyndi's List at http://www.cyndislist.com. Of course, Cyndi's List is free of charge. > > There are a couple of "watchdog sites" that watch for Web sites like FamilyDiscovery.com and Genealogy-Developments.com.

Here's some information that might be helpful to you, Reta. James D "Jim" Wilkerson (son of John & Emma [King] Wilkerson) b Marion Co AR 7 May 1884 d 19 March 1966 bu Peel Cemetery m Marion Co AR 21 Dec 1904 Lillie Alice Miller (daughter of George W & Laura [Elmore] Miller) b 4 July 1886 d 15 Sep 1975 bu Peel Cemetery. George & Laura Miller were in Dodd City Township, Marion Co AR in 1900 and were taxpayers in Prairie Township, Marion Co AR in 1890. John & Emma Wilkerson were taxpayers in Franklin Township, Marion Co AR in 1890. Boone Co was created primarily from Carroll Co in 1869. The boundary between Boone Co and Marion Co was finally defined in 1875. I think that refinement was modified in 1881, but don't quote me on it 'cuz I'm not sure. Bergman is very definitely in Boone Co. Lead Hill has been in Boone Co since 1869. Peel is still in Marion Co. Many of the townships (the political districts based on population) in Boone Co retained their original names even tho' portions were removed from their original counties in county boundary changes. For example, there's a Sugar Loaf Township in both Boone Co and Marion Co and they're adjacent to each other. And there's a Prairie Township in both counties and they, too, are adjacent to each other. The above information can be verified in books and on microfilm in the Historic Genealogical Society of Marion Co's research room located at the Marion Co Library in Yellville. Hope this is useful.

Lee, The Wilkersons/Wilkinsons married into the DeShields families in about 1940s you will find a strong showing of these wilkersons/wilkinsons in the Modesto, ca and coos bay, Oregon areas. Bill Wilkerson out of Raleigh, NC probably has the most info on these lines. I am not sure what county Bergman is in, but they were there until the 1970s.

I can go as far back as James Wilkerson who married Lilly Miller (this is Bills grandparents) but that is all I go back to. I would say James was born in about 1890.

William Howard, born ca 1802 in KY and who was in MO/AR, Marion County area by the 1820s (see the 1830 Izard Co., MO census), was the father of Mary and Elizabeth Howard who married Isaiah Wilkerson/Wilkinson of Marion Co., AR, but Hallelujah was not their mother. I think she was a third? wife of William Howard (called Billy), and that she was married to a Weir before they married ca. 1844 or so. I do not know the name of the mother of Mary and Elizabeth Howard. Mary and Elizabeth were sisters of my great grandmother Jeanetta Howard, born ca. 1834 in MO (Billy Howard's land seems to have been on the MO line) and raised in Marion Co., AR. I would love to have more information on this Howard family of Marion County, AR, if anyone can give more information. Thank you.

Isaiah married Elizabeth ca 1870 had two children George b. Sep 1871 and Josephine b. ca 1872. Elizabeth is a widow in 1880 census. Marilyn Billington <[email protected]> speculates that Isaiah died ca 1872. I do not find records of his burial in the Peel Cemetery although there are several Wilkersons and Wilkinsons in that Cemetery, I see none who died that early. The Marion County Families Book has a short family history on page 450 but it is much to long to type. Should you desire to acquire a copy of that book which all all the families 1811 to 1900 that are related to this family see <http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion/> . You might try looking at his military records, If anyone applied for a pension, that might give a death date. I don't know that this is your man but Isaiah Wilderson served in Company H, 2nd Arkansas Infantry (Union). Those records may be available for his military service and possibly pension records through the Arkansas History Commission <http://www.ark-ives.com/> Death Certificates were not required in Arkansas until 1914, I expect you will not find such a record. I will put this reply on the Marion County Arkansas Mailing List, someone might help you from there, they have some excellent researchers both free and paid. Hope this helps.

Carolyn, I research the Wilmoth's line as a side line family. If you can make a trip to Arkansas, you have the best source of information living in Bentonville. She is in her 80s and has the best memory. You would swear she was in her 50s! I have lots of information on the Wilmoths (but did not know what you found out until I got into the Alton prison information this weekend) infact, I have the papers from John Wesley DeShields and Minnie Wilmoth. John Wesley DeShields is my great grandfather and Minnie Wilmoth was his daughter. Minnie was an old maid until late in life. She married Frank Wilmoth to whom she was his second or third wife. My great aunt, Luella (Lucy) married Jim Wilmoth. It is Jim and Lucy's youngest daughter who I was speaking about. Email me and we will share information. I have a complete chapter in my DeShields Family History and Related Families book which I will make copies and send to you. I haven't gone into great detail on this family and I sure wish someone would at least start writing her and asking the right questions. I have copies of all the family pictures. She has the original family album and the papers. She does not own a computer. Reta DeShields Parton [email protected]

Carolyn, I'm sending this to the Marion Co email list so that others may also respond to your request. I'm not sure just how much help I can be to you. What we have differs a bit from what you have, but that's not strange in this game, huh? Our records show that James E Wilmoth was born in TN ca 1829 m/1 Martha J Clouse b TN 1831; m/2 Mary S ___ b TN ca 1845. He and his first wife are listed in Barren Creek Township in the 1860 Marion Co census with Rebecca E b TN 1850, John T b TN 1851, James B b TN 1856. L B Wilmoth 18 b TN is living with them. A William T Clouse 23 TN, Sarah C 22 TN, and Benjamin 1 TN are living next door. "History of Boone Co AR" indicates James Wilmoth was in Sugar Loaf Township, Boone Co AR in 1870. This book indicates that he was by 1863 married to his 2nd wife and that they had Francis M b TN 1863, Isaac b TN 1865, and Kessiah (m) b MCAR 1868. However, I've not yet checked the Boone Co AR 1870 census microfilm to verify this. To add to this confusion, I find an Isaac Wilmoth as a taxpayer in Sugar Loaf Township, Marion Co in 1890. I also find an Isaac Wilmoth aged 21 married Boone Co AR 15 Nov 1876 L A Gossett aged 23. This would indicate the Isaac, son of James above, could have been b in 1854/5. I have a definite feeling here that someone has confused the wives' names and turned one marriage into two as well as making a typo on the birth dates of the last three children. I've recently come across information that a James Wilmoth served in the Civil War, was captured by Federal troops in Marion Co 10 Jan 1865 and died at Alton Prison in Illinois 25 April 1865 of diarrhea. I do know that, often, families moved to the area where their menfolk were incarcerated to be near them and help them whatever way they could. This *could* explain the move to IL. It could also explain the death date of 1866 you found on the pension papers as well as explain the pension papers themselves. Apparently a friend of James', William DeShields, was captured at the same time and died of small pox 5 days before James died. Our records also indicate that James was the son of Wilson & Keziah (Cooper) Wilmoth (both are buried in Enon Cemetery in Boone Co AR). His siblings were Nathan 1822, Jane 1824, Francis Marion 1826, Sarah "Sally" 1828; Jackson ca 1830, Martha 1831, Mary S "Pop" 1834, Millie Ellen 1836, Julia Ann 1839/40, George Washington 1843, Margaret Emaline 1846, Elmira 1848/50 - all born in TN - probably Overton Co. Sorry, Carolyn, but I don't know of any Wilmoth researchers. Hope your email problems clear up. It's a pain, isn't it? Mysty [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: carolyn bowers To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 3:47 PM Subject: James Wilmoth Mysty, I'm sorry to bother you with this but I have tried three times recently (once today) to post a message to the Marion County board (ie [email protected]). I do not know whether any got through or not--but I did not get a copy of my query--which makes me wonder if my posts have gotten through. Do you know of any researchers of any Wilmoths in Marion County in 1860--especially James Wilmoth in Barren Creek Twp., his wife, Martha Jane (Clouse) and their family of three children including Rebecca Elizabeth, age 10? Per Rebecca Elizabeth's pension file, she was born in DeKalb County, TN in 1851. The file also indicates that the James Wilmoth family was in Marion County for only a short time--less than a year--before they moved on to Illinois where Rebecca Elizabeth was married in 1866 (and presumably where James Wilmoth died since the pension file reports that he died in 1866). Rebecca Elizabeth and her first husband were later divorced (1878) and she married Chas. S. Spicer. They moved to Sharp County, Arkansas prior to 1886. I have a "hunch" that James Wilmoth was a son of John Wilmoth who lived in DeKalb County in 1840 and had a son "over 10, but under 15". Mary Jane (Clouse) Wilmoth (mother of Rebecca Elizabeth) also moved to Arkansas with her daughter and! son-in-law. Per 1900 census records, she had born six children, but only one (Rebecca Elizabeth) was living. Oops--I've told you more than you need to know to respond to my question of whether you know of Wilmoth researchers. Sorry. Thanks! Carolyn [email protected]

Hi Reta! As it happens, someone else on another mailing list was asking about Sterling Price's invasion of Missouri in 1864 and the response included the order of battle for the Confederate force. You will find Lt. Col. Schnable and his battalion listed among them. -- Robert W. King I'm an ingenieur, NOT a bloody locomotive driver!
