Vonnie, The 1900 Plumlee Township was very hard to read. This is what my records show on the Plumlee Twp.

Linda Bartlett (maiden name unknown)b22Mar1871-- died 15Nov1948, wife of W.M. Bartlett. Could not find a record of their marriage in Newton County Marriage records. Was this William M Bartlett's second marriage?? The Lupers were not on the 1880 Newton Co.AR census. William M Bartlett was on the 1880 Newton Co.AR census in Plumlee Township with parents William T and Martha E Bartlett. Plumlee Cemetery Records: James W Bartlett b:13May1892--d:6June1976 Robert Dew Bartlett b:26Aug1899...d:30Mar1977 Jackson P Luper b22June1844...d:10Nov1923 His wife was Margaret (mnu)born Feb1846, but her burial place is not shown . Is the correct spelling Looper or Luper? The updated Newton County Cemeteries Book has just been published, a goldmine of information.

Hello fellow researchers, Websites for National Archives and Records Administration. Many interesting things to read about on these sites. <A HREF="http://www.nara.gov/research/">The Research Room (National Archives and Records Administration)</A> http://www.nara.gov/research/ <A HREF="http://www.nara.gov/research/ordering/ordrfrms.html">Order Forms for Military Service and Family History Records (Research Room, Nat</A> http://www.nara.gov/research/ordering/ordrfrms.html Evelyn RKinfolks@aol.com

Richard, The first 22 or so pages of the early Newton County, Arkansas marriages are missing. The Index is intact and shows: Jas. H COUCH married Mellissa J HENSLEY , Book A, page 7. There is no date listed, but this would be in the time frame of 1866-1867. Per the Index on Arkansas Union Soldiers (Civil War) James H Couch enlisted in Co.E, Second Arkansas Infantry (Union) on 28Oct1863 at Jasper, Arkansas. He was 18 years of age but does not list place of birth. He applied for his Civil War Union Pension in 1888. The Civil War Union Pension book shows that he died 20 June 1916 but does not list his place of death. Have you sent for his Civil War Military and Pension record? The Complete Pension record would probably give his birthdate, birthplace, marriage date; wife's maiden name and her other marriages (if any) and a list of the living children, with their birthdates and his death date and place of death. You can obtain the necessary forms for ordering these records by writing to: <inquire@nara.gov> ask for NATF Form 80 (Civil War Pension) and NATF Form 86 (Military Service Record). When you receive the forms, fill in the blanks with the name, state he served from, the Unit, Civil War, etc. And be patient......the Government takes a long time in sending you the forms and once you send in the forms, months sometimes go by before you get your answer. But worth the wait. I have found that sending for Civil War records is one of the best ways to find out family information for that time period. Evelyn RKinfolks@aol.com

Searching for info on James H. COUCH (1846-1916 TN/AR) who married Melissa J. SUTTON (1849-1915 AR/AR) about 1866 in AR. Melissa J. SUTTON may have first married a man named HENSLEY in early 1860's, he died in Civil War. Newton county US GenWeb has posted in Marriage Records a James H. COUCH and Melissa J. HENSLEY but there is no date. Children of Melissa J. SUTTON/James H. COUCH are: Amanda Zaida COUCH Martha Jane COUCH Commodora COUCH Mary COUCH Ellen COUCH Thanks, Richard rsoard@mindspring.com

I have these families in this county. I am particularly looking for information about Pricilla WHEELER RAMEY who owned land here in 1907. She had children who lived her also and are buried in Sandhill Cemetary. I don't know where Pricilla is buried and would like to find out. I know her sons Isham, Robert and Lindsey were living here also. I also know her brother, Isham Wheeler lived here. I am also looking for info on the Marion C. GLADDEN family. I know they are on the land records here in 1891. He married Sarah E. and believe she is the sister to Pricilla so, her maiden name would be Wheeler. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anne

Hi Evelyn: I am related to these folks.... My Grandmother was married to Walter Lackey's brother William Lackey. She was his last wife. I heard my Mother and Aunts talk about all these places I have listed. They used to "take a trip to Arkansas" when they would get together. I sure enjoyed their memory trips and miss them so much.... It's been so great getting to met cousins that I never knew I had until I started to dabble in genealogy <SMILE> Love and Prayers Billieirene in San Jose, California AHello, > If anyone has a town or settlement to add to this > list, please let me know. > Evelyn Flood > RKinfolks@aol.com > PLACE NAMES OF NEWTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS > LOCATION AND SOME EARLY FAMILIES > > BEECHWOODS > Named for the many beech trees > Section 36, Twp.16North,Range 23West > Clark, Keeton, Villines > > BEN HUR > Southeast corner > Section 35, Twp. 13N, Range 19West > Received its name from the Bible. > Standridge, Gregory > > BOXLEY > First known as "Whiteley". > Section 10, Twp.15North, Range 23West > Named for a store owner by name of Boxley > Location of the historical saltpeter mines > Whiteley, Casey,Villines, Duty > > DIAMOND CAVE > On Henson Creek three miles from Jasper in > Section 5, Twp.15North, Range 21 West. > Samuel and Andrew Hudson discovered the cave > while bear hunting. > ERBIE > NW corner, Section 33, T17North, Range 21 West > Bryant,Lawson,Villines,Hickman,Farmer > > GEORGE > NW part in Section 3, T16,Range 23West > Newberry, McCullough,Fowler, Allred > > HASTY > NorthEast part of county > Section 25, Twp.16 North, Range 20West > Agee,Bass,Baughman, Bowling ,Fiveash,Garner, > Gibson,Hill,Hoppis,Morrison,Waters > > > JASPER > Northcentral location > Section 27, T16, Range 21 West > County Seat of Newton County,Arkansas > Boomer,Brasel,Carter,Collins,Davis,Harp,Harrison, > Henderson,Jones,Moore, Moss,Phillips,Skaggs, > Sloan,Stacey,Taylor,Waters,Young > > LOWGAP > 10 miles west of Jasper > Roughly Section 34, Twp. 16 North, Range 22 West > The gap is hemmed in by two high mountains > drained by Henson and Steele Creek. > Kilgores,Wishons,Steeles,Lackeys, Eoffs, Villines > > MARBLE FALLS(CITY) > On Highway 7 between Jasper and Harrison(Boone Co.) > Section 20, T17, Range 20West > It received its name from the historical block of marble > quarried here and now a memorial marker in the > Washington Mounument on the 30 foot level. > Quarried in 1836 by Peter Bellah; Elijah, Samuel and > William Harp.

Dear Kathy, Hope this is not considered a "flame"letter. Evelyn Flood RKinfolks@aol.com ------------- Don't Blame the Seniors Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. Upon reflection, I would like to point out that it was not the senior citizens who took: * The melody out of music, * The pride out of appearance, * The romance out of love, * The commitment out of marriage, * The responsibility out of parenthood, * The togetherness out of the family, * The learning out of education, * The service out of patriotism, * The civility out of behavior, * The refinement out of language, * The dedication out of employment, * The prudence out of spending, * The ambition out of achievement, * And we certainly are not the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from relationships

Here are some sites for Census and Arkansas maps http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03.htm http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03_ar.htm http://www.segenealogy.com/arkansas/ar_censusmap.htm And County Formation Maps http://www.segenealogy.com/arkansas/ar_map.htm Hope they can help someone.

No one will hear I told you so a year ogo.....BUT I hope this helps answer some of your questions of what is going on with GenConnect boards etc. If you have further questions you may contact me personally. This however will NOT effect the county websites I maintain, as you know when the buy out of RootsWeb took place I immediately put the counties on my own ISP. As I have always told you those are YOUR counties...I am just your secretary. If you find the county information posted elsewhere please contact me as I have fought to keep your information free and will continue to do so.

Genealogy According to the dictionary genealogy is: 1. A record or account of the descent of a family, group or person from an ancestor or ancestors; a family tree. 2. Direct descent from a progenitor; lineage or pedigree. 3. The study or investigation of ancestry and family histories. To me, however, genealogy is a whole lot more than those three dry sentences. It is finding my roots, my family, and my home. It is seeing my grandparents as a young couple in a census record with their two baby girls; children who I know will be dead within the year. It is seeing my mother as a one-month-old child. It is seeing my great grandfather’s signature on Civil War records and knowing that he and others like him must have gone through hell. It is even finding the “skeletons in the closets” or the “black sheep” of the family. It is finding that my family went through some terrible times, but also knowing that they survived. It is seeing in my mind’s eye the careworn faces of all of those who went have gone on before me. It is listening to old stories told by our elders and passing those precious stories down. It is writing down those stories and facts for our children and their children. It is finding cousins I had not seen or heard from in fifty years. It is finding new “cousins” and new friends, people who have come to mean so very much to me. It is the realization of how important family is. It is the realization of how important it is to honor those ancestors who came before us. But most of all, it is the sharing of information with others who like me love the research. It is not just dusty records or words. It is not only sharing the excitement of finding a new ancestor, but also sharing the frustrations of not be-ing able to find what you are looking for. It is the bouncing of ideas back and forth of theories of “what might be” and commiserating with another when that theory falls through, which it often does. It is being able to say “Look! Look what I have found!” and knowing that your excitement will be shared and understood. It is being able ask a question on a mailing list, knowing that what you are asking may be “dumb” but knowing that you will not be treated with disrespect. It is people who give of their time and their energies to help you. It is people who volunteer their time and energies to do lookups on the various county web pages. It is people who volunteer their time and energies for the various historical societies. It is people who give of their time to transcribe old documents and microfilm, and who share that knowl-edge, whether it is through books sold by historical societies or on web pages. It is people who go through old cemeteries and take the time to write down those who are buried there and share that knowledge gladly. It is people who share old photographs, old letters and their old family stories, not expecting anything back other than a thank you and the knowledge that they have helped another in their family quest. It is people who go above and beyond what is asked of them because they love genealogy. They love the fun of it, the frustrations of it and the excitement of it. It is also the knowledge that you are passing down something of worth; that you are leaving behind a little something of yourself. It is the knowledge that through all of your research you may have made a difference, however small it may be. That is a little of what genealgy means to me. Charlene Holland
