In the Boston Mountains, Newton Co., Ark there lived (at least) two families, the BOEN and RUSSELL families. I don't have the parents names (for which I am searching on your list) but there were two children born about the same time. Christopher Columbus BOEN was born about 1858/9 Boston Mnts, Newton, AR Polly Ann RUSSELL was born about 1858/9 Boston Mnts, Newton, AR Columb's father died about 1863, so he should be listed on tax lists until then and then a woman would be listed. (does anyone know where I can check these?) They grew up and were married to each other 13 July 1875 Johnson Co., ARK then both moved to OK until they departed this life there. I'd like to find out who their parents are. Who their brothers and sisters are and what did they did in Newton County for a living? I'm not able to travel there to search the county books and library there. Hopefully when my kids are grown I can travel and see the beautiful country side. Thanks so much for your time.
