Hi everyone- This is a note that came from AGS-L today, and I wanted to pass it on to you. Please do not respond to me. The writer of this letter was Jerry Morrison. ________________________________________________________________ Subj: [AGS-L] AR Territorial Papers Date: 4/28/99 11:49:48 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: lwm@genesisnetwork.net (Jerry Morrison) To: AGS-L@rootsweb.com In the last couple of weeks, I've submitted several transcribed petitions and lists to the AR Archives. These cover only information up to the time of Statehood in 1836. If you had relations in AR before 1836, it's possible that they might be on one of these. There is a search engine available for them but keep in mind there were numerous spelling errors noted as I transcribed the names, some small, some not. I left the names like they were even though the error was obvious to me so it is better to look at each one that you might have an interest in and consider all possible variants for the name. I noted also a lot of the same names on several different counties at different time periods. They must have been a very mobile group of people when they first settled the area. The following is a list of those counties covered: Pope & Conway Petition, Sept. 1835, abt 127 signers Miller Petition, 1825, abt 317 signers Hempstead Petition, Jan. 20, 1830, abt 41 signers Crittenden Petition, Jan. 18, 1830, abt 25 signers Crittenden Petition, Dec. 24, 1831, abt 61 signers Crawford Petition, Feb. 25, 1833, abt 93 signers Phillips Petition, Feb. 25, 1833, abt 41 signers MO and AR Territory Petition, Dec. 16, 1835, abt 74 signers Washington Petition, Dec. 29, 1835, abt 106 signers Chicot Petition, Mar 4, 1836, abt 39 signers Pulaski Petition, Mar. 7, 1836, abt 48 signers Conway Petition, Jan. 14, 1833, abt 46 signers Roster of Militia Officers, 1820-25, abt 204 names Executive Register for AR Territory, 1819-36, abt 4057 entries, names ? http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/arfiles.htm Many of the documents are posted under Miscellaneous, others are posted under the counties. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/submit.html Be sure and stop by to send Jacquelyn Bonds a thank you note for posting these and for all of her hard work also learn how you can contribute. -- Enjoy, Jerry Morrison * The winds of change can't blow into areas sheltered by * * Censorship, Indifference and Stupidity * ==== AGS Mailing List ==== Join AGS Today!
