Sorry, Jim, but I find no record of J F Mahurine nor of Georgia Alice Wheeler in the MCAR 1870 census, the MCAR 1880 census, the MCAR 1890 (reconstructed) census, nor the marriage records of Marion Co AR. You might try the adjacent counties of Baxter, Boone, Searcy, and Newton as well as neighboring counties in Missouri. Good luck in your search.

Bernie, I don't know any more than you saw in my original e-mail. Do you know who J. F. Mahurine might have been? Georgia Alice Wheeler was my Great-Grandmother. I'm not sure if my Grandmother was a Mahurine or a Thompson, that's what I'm trying to determine. I do believe my Grandmother was of Indian roots, but I have nothing to prove it. Georgia Alice Wheeler next married James (C E) Commodore Slape in Marion County.

"Marion Co. Marriage Records 1896-1905" by Marian Burnes & Vicki Roberts says: G W Slape aged 20 of Boone Co [AR] m 24 Feb 1898 Flora McLean aged 17 of Powell. Powell was near what is today Pyatt in MCAR. I find no other marriage record for the surname Slape in MCAR through 1917.

Hey, y'all sorry I've been scarce lately, been digging on my dad's side and not doing too much on mom's side which is where all the Marion County Hillbillies are. Anyway, I'm digging up the line of mom's dad, B.D. Roberts of Bellefonte (I know, I know, Boone County...he got married at Pleasant Ridge and lived a while in Yellville, so he gets half credit) and was running up through his mom, Francis Abigail Stanley, her mom, Mary Jane Horner (married James Dixon "J.D." Stanley that some of you will know of) and HER dad John Horner, Jr. (we're back to the "old country," Tennessee, now, although Mary Jane is known to have died and is probably buried in Marion Co.) Now, John Horner Jr.s mom, I have discovered, was an Elizabeth Russell from Tennessee. From there, I'll just cut and paste my notes. It's kinda long and (like most of what I do) a little disorganized...trust me, it's worth it. I feel like I hit the lotto. George Russell is Elizabeth's dad, her mom was Elizabeth Bean... 9a. George Russell, b. 1720 (Loudoun Co., VA) d. 1796 (Grainger Co., TN; or KY) m. Elizabeth Bean. Notes: George Russell followed William Bean, Jr. as the first white settlers in Tennessee, the Watauga Settlement. George Russell was a Captain in the Revolutionary War, serving with Watauga Riflemen at the Battle of King�s Mountain. He was killed by Indians while he was on a hunting trip. Another of his children, George Russell, Jr., was a friend and fellow Indian Scout (Creek Nation, 1813) with a man he�d grown up near, Davy Crockett. 10a. William Russell 9b. Elizabeth Bean, b. 11-25-1720, (Loudoun Co. VA or St. Stephans Parish, Northumberland Co., VA), d. 1796 (German Creek, Grainger Co., TN) m. George Russell (9a) 10b. William Bean, Sr. b. about 1700 (St. Stephans Parrish., Northumberland Co., VA ) d. unknown, m. Margaret Hatton, around 1720. Notes: Only known child of John and Elizabeth Bean. Son William Bean, Jr. and wife Lydia Russell credited as first white settlers in TN, thought widely to have erected a log cabin at mouth of Boone�s Creek, in 1769. Their son Russell was first white born in TN. Lydia Bean was taken captive by Cherokees July, 1776, along with 13 year old Samuel Moore. She was condemned to die, but Cherokee �Pretty Woman� Nancy Ward exercised her rights in that position and granted pardon to Lydia. Samuel Moore wasn�t so lucky, and was burned at the stake. One of the reasons Lydia was spared is that she taught the Cherokee how to make butter and cheese, and how to weave fabric. This made the Cherokee less dependent upon traders, and also Europeanized the Cherokee�s sex roles, with women sewing and cleaning and cooking while men farmed. Part of the making of butter and cheese she taught was the holding of milk cows, leading to larger livestock herds and the need for more manual labor, which led to the Cherokee holding slaves, including the first Cherokee slave owner, none other than Nancy Ward, who was awarded the slave of a fallen Creek warrior following the Battle of Taliwa. Several of William Bean and Lydia Russell�s children fought for the colonies in the Revolutionary War, another in the War of 1812. 11b. John Bean, b. 10-4-1675, m. Elizabeth Unknown (St. Stephans Parrish., Northumberland Co., VA ) d. 1755 12b. William Bean, b. around 1655. Note: There is a website with very extensive lines of the �Descendents of William Russell� at http://www.varleyphoto.com/genealogy/bios/russell/Russell%20Descendancy%20Chart.pdf Many of the stories of the Russell and Bean families comes from http://www.russell.larkcom.org/ another page with good info and genealogy on the Horner and Russell families, many of whom made it, ironically enough, to Marion County, AR, can be found at http://eturner.com/Everett/ Now, is that awesome or WHAT? I've already visited with a few of my family who are also now "Sons (or Daughters) of the American Revolution" and a few are pretty excited. I know I am! OK, if anyone's read through that, here's the question. I've traced this one: Andrew James Carroll Roberts, b. 11-10-1817 (Hamilton Co., TN) d. 4-12-1891 (Bellefonte) m. Lucretia Ann Lawson bu. Mcelhose Cemetary (Boone Co., AR) Which of course, raises a question...where the heck is the Mcelhose Cemetery? I never heard of it.

Ah, that explains why there's no marriage record in MCAR. The courthouse burned to the ground in early August 1887. Not one shred of paper survived this fire. Absolutely no county records before that fire exist today. Because both of these people were underage, permission for this marriage had to have been given by someone - usually a parent for one or both. I'd suggest you check the 1880 census to see if you can locate them then. The 1880 census for the entire United States is on line at http://www.familysearch.org. Click on the "search" tab at the top of the first page. Then click on the word "census" in the lefthand column of the 2nd page.
