Frank Arney Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 1933 - 2018June 14, 1933 - April 15, 2018 OKLAHOMA CITY On April 15, 2018, Frank Arney, the kindest, most gentle and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend, went to be with the Lord. Frank was born in Marshalltown, IA and grew up on the family farm. He graduated from Iowa State University and pursued a career in agriculture ranging from broadcasting and chamber of commerce work to positions in Ag.

Frank married the love of his life, Lila Anderson, and from this union came three daughters, Allison Arney, Cara Bertolasio, and Erica Arney.

I know very little about Henry Arney. He was born in North Carolina I believe, and the family removed to Carroll County, Georgia prior to 1850. Henry died prior to 1850. They have at least one child, Mary Magdaline Arney. She was married to Larkin Alexander Allen. Thank you, Jim Shreve Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

As far as my ancestry, I still have a lot of 'holes", but what I believe is: Albert Lloyd Arney (my father) son of John Esley Arney 1903-1989 Pinkney Arney 1851-1922 Henry Arney 1821- John Arney 1788-1834 Christian Arney 1750-1830 Jacob Arney 1728-1782 I know there is many unanswered links regarding two Jacob's in the Arney line.

Trying to locate the "Family Bible", that Otha Jouett ARNEY used to fill out Tennessee Delayed Birth Certificates, for his 4 children: Otha Jouett ARNEY (30 January 1875 to 26 April 1956) married Nancy Lucy Creacy SMITH (2 May 1877 to 9 August 1956) Their 4 Children were: 1. Myrtie Lee ARNEY (1900-1973) married Benjamin Harrison VAUGHN, Sr. (1888-1971). 2. William Ervin "Bookie" ARNEY (1902-1977) married Rosie C ABBOTT (1926-2006). 2. William Ervin "Bookie" ARNEY (1902-1977) married Carrie CONNORS (1910-????) 3. Waymon Dibrell ARNEY (1905-1994) married Minnie CONNER (1908-1927). 3. Waymon Dibrell ARNEY (1905-1994) married Hazel Adaline VAUGHN (1915-1978). 3. Waymon Dibrell ARNEY (1905-1994) married Virda BROWN (1918-????) 4. Stanley Goble ARNEY (1909-1979) married Berth Claudine MELTON (1914-2012). Now, my best "genealogical" guess, is the "Family Bible" probably landed in the hands of their Daughter, Myrtie Lee ARNEY-VAUGHN, who passed away back in 1973. Going one "genealogical leap" further, I believe the "Family Bible" probably landed in the hands of one of her children. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Myrtie Lee ARNEY (19 May 1900 to 21 October 1973) married Benjamin Harrison VAUGHN, Sr. (15 October 1888 to 31 March 1971).

Where the "Coe" came from, I don't know.] If anyone happens to know, one of Myrtie Lee Arney-Vaughn's children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren, etc. perhaps they may know, what became of the ARNEY Family Bible, that was once in the hands of Otha Jouett ARNEY & family.

Serious Question, that I'm certain all of Us who attempt Genealogy research of Our Tennessee Ancestors, in Overton County, confront. How should YOU perform Genealogy Research of Overton County, Tennessee, Ancestors? The loss of significant records, with the Courthouse fire of 1865, no US Federal Census records until 1820, the loss of the 1890 US Federal Census, the mysterious disappearance of families in the 1850 US Federal Census, and the creation of Dale Hollow Lake (which swallowed up towns, churches, family lands, family cemeteries, etc.) I know for my own research, of the ARNEY family, though their family cemeteries were "moved", virtually all were useless, genealogy wise, because they were marked simply with metal crosses painted white, which as you know, doesn't tell who was actually buried in those graves.  Unfortunately, no family records exist that may have revealed answers (since illiteracy was prevalent). So, how should YOU research these Ancestors? I have no idea, how any Genealogy researchers, could piece together, any families. My Tennessee ARNEY family Patriarch was Peter ARNEY (1772-1845). (Hmmm, he died just before the mysterious 1850 US Federal Census, where almost all my ARNEY Ancestors disappear.  Except Hardy Arny, in Overton County, Tennessee, and Adam ARNEY, in Cumberland County, Kentucky.)  Mysteriously, the ARNEY families "reappear", in the 1860 US Federal Census, of Overton County, Tennessee. So, with birth records, marriage records, death records, family cemetery records, possible tax lists, and more, LOST, how do we find answers? I have to admit, much of my "Family Tree" construction of my ARNEY Tennessee Ancestors, is based solely on old research.  Research probably done around the 1950's or 1960's.  How these people "pieced together" our family, I have no idea. I have no idea how they "pieced together" who Peter Arney's children were.  After all, marriage records were lost, birth and death records were not required, and he died before the 1850 US Federal Census (as we know, was the first to identify individuals, in families), but then again most my of Arney Ancestors disappeared from the 1850 US Federal Census. What do I know about my Tennessee ARNEY Patriarch? He arrived in the Cumberland area, between Kentucky & Tennessee, around 1799. 1. His name appears on the 1801 Petition to halt the annexation of Smith & Wilson Counties, in Tennessee, to create a new County (he was in Smith County), which evidently failed. 2. His name appears on the 1802 & 1803 Tax List of Jackson County, Tennessee. 3. He purchases 300 acres of land, in Overton County, from John Sevier, in 1814. 4. His name appears on the 1820-1840 US Federal Census, Overton County, TN. 5. His death date is found (16 August 1845), in Court records, due to contesting of his Estate, since he left no Will.  He actually gave his property to three mentioned sons, Henry, Hiram, & Matthew, prior to his death. [Note: Henry & Hiram disappear, from the US Federal Census completely, after the Court battle, i.e. prior to the 1850 US Federal Census.] With this information, how did those early Arney family researchers piece together, Peter Arney's family?   Stan Arney www.simplyfollowme.com
