Hu listers, When you see a listing in a deed book and it says "indenture" beside the name...what exactly does that refer to? Does anyone know if its intended meaning is the same as the term "indentured servant", or associated with that? Thanks! Barb

Hi folks! I've added yet another article to my web site for your information and amusement. This one is: "A Brief History of the Disposition and Administration of the Public Domain in Arkansas to 1908." It briefly highlights for readers the public land laws reflected by the land patent information, and outlines how those laws operated in Arkansas. To get to it, go to the URL in my signature block below, click to go to the Genealogy page and then scroll to the bottom of that page. Then click on the title displayed there to bring up the article which is in PDF format. It will take a bit to download the article, so be patient. -- Robert W.

Hi Colleen:--Been doing some surfing around on various projects and came across a site I'd sort of forgotten about. There's a good bit of info on the Tabors and Yochams and Friends and Keesees and many more. It's the White River Valley Historical Quarterly. And it's online and searchable. Goes thru the Greene Co Library in Springfield MO. Their genealogy corner is the Shepherd Room - and it's a really big corner. You'll need to use variant spellings to get all that's there - like both TabOr and TabEr, KIssee and KEEsee. and you-name-it for Yocham. http://198.209.8.166/sheproom/periodicals/wrvq/index.htm Another interesting site is the one Vonda Wilson Sheets has. It includes an updated Yocham Genealogy - 29 pages of it. She's most helpful so feel free to email her if you need to. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~argregvonda Mysty shakerag@mtnhome.com

Rita: I corresponded with you sometime ago and you sent me a picture of your Yocham family and I have it in my files. I have the information on all of my great grandfather Mike and Nancy Jane Bevins Yocham's children pretty much. In fact I put the Obit in the Marion County Ar. Web page. I took it from their death certificates. I was trying to clarify up the information that was in some of the descendants of Yochams that was put out by Greg Brown and Bob Derryberry. They had him buried in Ark and also married to another wife. It was a different Mike Yocham. The main thing that I have been trying to find out now is where my granny Nancy Jane Bevins gets her Cherokee from. I may never find out that. I have looked on all of the Rolls and couldn't find any Bevins that I know of that are there. Our family thinks her Cherokee Blood may have come through the Keesee or mybe from old Sam Bevins (he is her father and her mother is Zinna Viola Keesee). If you have any information on that I would be tickled to death, We can't get any information on Sam Bevins. We hit a brick wall after we come to him. Also I had been trying to find out just exactly what time my great grandparents moved from Marion County Ar. to Oklahoma. Do you have access to the 1900 census or did they burn in the court house fire also? How have you been? Working hard like everyone else, I suppose? Thanks for the information and help Rita. Colleen

I have received a couple of e-mails asking me if I'm okay since there hasn't been much done on the Marion Co site in awhile. I assure everyone that I'm fine and I do appreciate your concern. I was nominated and I accepted the job of Chairman of the USGenWeb Project Election Committee in Feb. This is a brand new committee and it is taking a lot more time than I had anticipated. The Election begins the 1st of July and things should calm down considerably once the election is under way and a lot when it's over. Please bear with me and I promise to get back to putting things up. Thanks for your understanding.

Mysty, I don't have much on this family, I expect this was Orville Mears side of the Waggoner family. I only show a Martin WAGGONER b. 20 apr 1851, who was the son of Joshua WAGGONER b. 27 Feb 1813 in TN and Nancy (------) b. 5 Jan 1811 GA. Joshua's father was Daniel WAGGONER b. 7 Feb 1790 NC, and his mother was Rebecca (FITE OR SITE) b. 17 may 1789 NC. Don't know if this is the right Martin WAGGONER. Hope this helps.

Lisa, There are several people in Marion County who would be interested in working with you on your family. There are relatives still living here. Elza Pierce BURLESON (BERLESON) b. Marion Co. AR 11 Mar 1886 d. 17 Oct 1939 m. 17 Oct 1925 Pearl CUNNINGHAM. His parents were William Jasper and Annie Elizabeth (PERRY) BURLESON. Although William Jasper was born in Marion County, his father and grandfather were born in North Carolina. Your mother is listed as married to Jeff Darden. The BURLESON genealogy is in the book "Genealogy of Marion County Families 1811 to 1900. This book is currently for sale by the Historical and Genealogical Society for $60, shipping included. This book lists most of the county families and they all married into the other families. This would be a valuable tool for you to start your research with.

I hope you don't mind, Barbara, but I'm sending this response to your email to the ARMARION list in hopes that someone out there might be able to help you. The 1930 census won't be available until at least April 2002. We have the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census on microfilm, but they probably won't be of much help to you if Dorsey Kisner wasn't born until ca 1925. I won't have access to these microfilm until at least day after tomorrow - they're at the library. Of course, these are federal records rather than county so with no more information than you've given me, a trip to the county courthouse probably wouldn't be very productive. However, there is a Marion Co AR reconstructed 1890 census (the originals for basically the entire US were burned in a fire before they were transcribed). In "Marion Co AR 1890" by Helen McMindes I find the following: J F (Joseph Francis) Kisner b Aug 1859 AR TN MO. Paying taxes 1890 in Tomahawk Township. [son of Jacob Kisner, killed by bushwhackers in MO. Joe is in Hampton Township in 1900. Jacob's wife came to AR and remarried, it is thought to a Pumphrey. This data from Sam Kisner, grandson of Joe.] Sarah wife b March 1859 AR TN TN. Married 16 years, has had 8 children, 6 living per the 1900 census. [daughter of James & Jane (___) Pulem/Pulliam in Tomahawk Township 1880.] James Jacob son b Oct 1884 AR AR AR (m Essie Dugger). Owen W son b Oct 1886 AR AR AR (m Maude L Trammel). Hettie day b Oct 1888 AR AR AR (m Richard Swafford). In "Marriage Records of Marion Co 1905-1917, Books I and J" by Marian Burnes & Vicki Roberts, I find: Owen Kisner aged 20 of Verona m MCAR 2 Sep 1906 Maude Trammell aged 14 of Verona. Consent by groom's father J F Kisner. Consent by brides father Jim Trammell. Ceremony performed by George Wilson, JP. Alzerina Kisner aged 18 of Verona m MCAR 22 Aug 1912 Luther Anderson aged 22 of Verona. J H Hudson, JP. J F Kisner aged 57 of St Joe, Searcy Co AR m MCAR 16 Oct 1916 Mrs J B Williams aged 58 of St Joe, Searcy Co AR. J H Hudson, JP. In "Cemeteries of Marion Co" by Lester & Marian Burnes I find: Anderson Flat Cemetery. Located about 1/3 mile off State highway 235 between Bruno and Pindall. Most burials are from the early 1900s, but the cemetery began a bit earlier. It is large, sell kept and has few stones with no names and dates. The cemetery is well fenced with a chain link fence. It is adjacent to Anderson Flat Church and fire house. Walsie J Kisner b 7 March 1892 d 9 May 1912. Owen W Kisner, s/o Joseph, b 3 Oct 1886 d 13 Sep 1968. Leroy Kisner b 26 Oct 1935 d 15 April 1979. Alma A Kisner b 26 Oct 1899 d 4 May 1900. Sallie M Kisner b 16 March 1859 d 30 March 1909. [apparently Sarah, wife of Joseph] J F Kisner b 20 Aug 1859 d 24 Feb 1936. Ray Hurple Kisner b 14 April 1911 d 16 July 1973. Glen Kisner b 1914 d 1934. Maybe with this for starters you'll recognize a name or something. If you'd like, I can check the 3 census records for you, but I doubt I'll find Dorsey. Oh, yes. Birth and death records are available from Little Rock, but you'll need the birth/death date and place before you can get a copy.

Found out that his biological dad doesn't know about him. My biological grandfather is a Dorsey Kisner. Not sure if he went by his middle name.

Doc suggested I start digging up info and do some genetic tracing. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Sincerely, Barbie

The best thing I can suggest, Martha, is to go to http://www.usgenweb.com. Click on the state you want (in this case Arkansas). Then click on the county you want (in this case Washington). This is the Washington Co web page. There will be all sorts of information on the page that might be useful to you. There will no doubt be information about how to contact the email list owner or at least about how to subscribe to the email list. If not, somewhere on the page you'll find a way to contact the web page coordinator. Email him/her and ask for information on the email list. Sorry, I haven't a clue who the Washington Co email list owner is. Good luck.

Mysty, What time frame does this book cover? I am curious if there are any Pierce, Wolf, or Stafford (just a few of the lines I'm working on right now) family info mentioned. My step-dad (Pierce / Stafford) was born and raised in Flippin. Thanks for all the help you have given to this list. Susan

W R Jones, author of the essays in "Gleanings of Pioneer History," arrived in Marion Co about the same time the courthouse burned to the ground in Aug 1887. Recognizing a need to salvage some of the history lost in this fire, and being very interested in the Indians that lived here before the white man came, Jones wrote many articles for his newspaper, The Mountain Echo. The time period he talks about covers roughly 1800 to ca 1880, mostly well before. For the most part this is a book about the history of the area, and, in telling the history, Jones notes information about some people and some families. These were the very early pioneer families - those that were here when MCAR became a state or shortly thereafter. The Wolf family might be mentioned, but I doubt the Pierce or Stafford families are. But, after all, what can you lose for $5? Hope this helps.

Yes, this is a book. It's the writings of W R Jones in his newspaper The Mountain Echo. He extracted much of the information from this newspaper. The Historical Genealogical Society of Marion County has had these extractions printed and is offering the book for sale. And, yes, it has information on the Flippins. As I said in an earlier email to the ARMARION-L list: "W R Jones talked with the children and grandchildren of the really early settlers of MCAR, trying to learn as much as he could about the really early days of MCAR. He wrote about the Indians; the Old Military Road; the early ferries across White River; the pioneer families of Abram Wood, Obediah Wood, Hurst, Magness, Talbert, Williams, Jenkins, Tabor, Hudson, Flippin, Coker, etc. and the families they married into; and gives a good picture of the life and times and scenery and places in the really early years of MCAR. W R Jones came to MCAR in 1887, the year the courthouse burned to the ground. He recognized the need to put into print (in his newspaper, The Mountain Echo, actually) some of the information lost in that fire. It's an excellent source of primarily historical value with much genealogical information sprinkled generously throughout." The book "Gleanings of Pioneer History" by W R Jones is softbound, is not indexed, and sells for $5 including shipping. It can be ordered from the Society at HGSMCA PO Box 761 Yellville AR 72687 For information on other books for sale about Marion Co, go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion which is the Marion Co web page. Scroll down to "Resources for Marion County AR." Click on "Marion Co Books For Sale." You'll find that a great many of them contain information on the Flippin family.

Misty, Do the Marion County books have an index? I am searching for information on the Prewit, Goodall, and Elam families. Thank you, Karen

If I remember rightly, Karen, all of the Marion Co books are indexed except "Early Days and Wartimes in Northern Arkansas" by Thomas Jerome Estes and "Gleanings of Pioneer History" by W R Jones. Both of these, however, are small enough that an index really isn't necessary. All of the census and marriage books, the cemetery book, "Early Days" by Marian Burnes, "Marion Co 1890," "Genealogies of MCAR," and all of Margie Garr's books are definitely indexed. Most - probably all - of the books have at least references (such as the census and marriage books) to your three surnames. "Genealogies of MCAR Families" is also cross-referenced to spouse families and at the end of each family is a list of the sources where information was found. More details about these books can be found on the Marion Co web page http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion. I have nearly all of them here at home and use them daily.
