I grew up at Redland Community, which is about 10 miles away, and I have a photo of the school at Sayre (probably about 1920). My grandfather, George Nelson Cox, was the schoolteacher at Sayre at the time and is in the photo with all his students. He taught in several of the small community schools during the 1920s & 30s. The schoolhouse appears to have been a large, two-story, wood-frame building in a wooded setting. We pronounce Sayre as two syllables ("say-ree"), rhyming with "maybe". Is that how you pronounce your surname? I don't know anything about an original person for whom the community was named, but I will ask my family and perhaps can have a later addition to this mystery.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XV.2ADI/385 Message Board Post: Looking for more info on my John Cox--born in 1787 in Virginia (my ggg-gf). His family history as I know it follows. Abner Cox appears to have been my John Cox's brother or cousin. William Cox appears to have been John's father, older brother or uncle. Family tradition says John, Abner & William Cox entered the military at Franklin Tennessee, fought in the War of 1812 & were discharged one year later at Franklin (Williamson County TN). John applied for a war pension in 1851. His affidavit stated "I neglected to get my discharge papers when me and my father parted." Father was alive in 1814. Bounty land was never awarded. (COCKE may also be spelling for COX in records.) John Cox appears on the 1812-1816 Williamson County TN tax list (same John Cox?) owning 60 acres on the West Harpeth River, then he disappears from the tax list after 1816. Our John Cox is known to have married Sarah (born 1808 NC; probably maiden surname Nelson). John was 21 yrs. older than Sarah, so he may have also been married previously; it is told that he married in 1820-1821, but it is uncertain whether that date was to Sarah or a prior wife. From 1816 to 1830, John's location is unknown!? Nathan Cox may be John's son by a first marriage; Nathan appears in the 1850 census in Hempstead County AR census (later became Nevada Co.) in Carouse (Terre Rouge) Township owning land very near Abner Cox & John Cox. Abner is also shown owning land in Missouri Township, which adjoins Carouse. The story is told by one of John Cox's gg-granddaughters that John married in TN and crossed over to Arkansas in 1821 near Memphis. While camping there, Indians stole one of John's children during the night. When the child was missed, the men went after the Indians and managed to retrieve the child. By Sarah, John had children: Thomas, Nelson, Abram (Abraham), James, William Calvin & Sarah J. in AR. John, Abner & William Cox (may be Wm Jr.) appear in the 1830 and 1840 censuses as heads of households in Hempstead County Arkansas (later Nevada Co in southwest AR). In 1850, John and son James are on the Hempstead Co. census, and William and Abner appear in Ouachita County census (boundary change but it's the same area). Oral family tradition states that Abner & John were definitely kin. It has been proven that Abner Cox's father was William Cox, Sr.(born abt 1760s in VA). William married Elizabeth Neal in Jefferson County Tennessee in 1797, then they moved to Cape Girardeau County MO. By 1804 they had four children, and by 1805 they had moved to Sevier County Arkansas (very near Nevada & Hempstead Counties). William died there in the 1840s. This William Cox Sr. is believed to be the older brother or father of our John Cox. Oral family tradition also says that when the Civil War began, some of the Cox men "went back" to fight for the Union (maybe to Kentucky), but John's sons James & William Calvin Cox stayed and joined the Confederates. Abner Cox (born in 1806 in MO) married: wife #1 Mary Polly A. Rice (born in MO) and in 1849 wife #2 Mary Cribbage(sp?). Abner had several children, including Sara & William A. Cox. Sara was born 1850 in Ouachita County AR (Red Hill Twp) and married George Fairchild in 1871. William A. Cox became a Judge in the 1870s (as well as a minister) in Ouachita County AR, which adjoins Nevada County. John Cox's grandson Lee Cox eloped with Molly Baker in 1903 and went to Junction City AR on the train to Judge William A. Cox's home to be married by him. My lineage: John Cox/ James (Jim) Cox/ Levi David Cox/ George Nelson Cox/ Pershing Cox/ Cathy Cox Straley (all generations lived in Redland/Carouse Township, Nevada County, Arkansas). ANYONE WITH CONNECTIONS OR MORE INFO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW & I CAN SHARE MANY PHOTOS & FAMILY TREE INFO.

I'm interested in the Rogers buried in this cemetery. There were two Rogers families in the area; my line, who are, I believe, mostly buried out around the Troy community, and another that settled in Elliot, just outside of Camden. My line came out of Tennessee; the Elliot group, I think, came up from Alabama and/or Georgia. trapper John Lancaster, Freelance Business/Tech Writer Email: mailto:jclanc@swbell.net Trapper's Genealogy Site - Lancaster/Rogers - Moss/Haydon Webpage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jclancaster/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Debbra Szymanski [mailto:deb@arkansas.net] > Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 9:42 AM > To: AROUACHI-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [AROUACHI] New Additions at the ARGenExchange! > > > Greenwood Cemetery, Camden, Arkansas (Ouachita county) > Section: 2 > Directions: On Maul Road across the street from Jewish Rest > Cemetery; adjacent to Memorial Park Cemetery and Greenwood Annex. > This section cannot be accessed by Maul Road, you must use the > side entrance off of Greenwood Street. > Survey: Completed January 9, 2002 by Debbra Szymanski > Graves: 207 marked > Surnames: Walker, McLeod, Westfall, Milner, Holmes, Vaughn, > Powell, McGill, Runnels, Gambrel, House, Evans, Johnson, Horn, > Davies, Goodgame, Terrell, Neely, Vincent, McKinney, Cross, > Lawrence, Stone, Ong, Newton, Strickland, Chapman, McIntyre, > Velvin, Carr, Bauerlein, Boddie, Barr, Clifford, Gaughan, Coan, > Morgan, Agee, Hawkins, Bivins, Leg(g)ett, Boney, Wood, Hopper, > Lafferty, Bragg, White, Cleaver, Watts, Lee, Hale, Pearce, > Haines, Amis, Rogers, Hardy, Rice, Patterson, Carter, Peters, > Wright, Bowers, Crowell, Grabert, Cramer, McHenry, Ingram, > Grigsby, Biggers, Reynolds, Massey, Jordon, Triplett, DuBose, > Berry, Matlock, Arrington, Ivory and Stores. > > To place a query about burials in this cemetery, please send your > request to: ar-rooters@listserv.genexchange.com > > Thank you, > The ArGenExchange Staff > Debbra ~ Jeanette ~Barbara ~ Connie ~ Jamila > > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy > records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >

I believe Mike Berg owned the Cadillac dealership. Pryors had the Chevrolets I think Carolyn Download the Lycos Browser at http://lycos.neoplanet.com

I think it was Mr. Laney who also owned the Olds dealership. If you find this not to be true I could dig a little deeper. I have "older" relitives in Camden. John A. Nelson "Robert W.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Woodward, Wallace, Williams, Hearcy, Holt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XV.2ADI/383 Message Board Post: Caroline Woodward, b. 1827, lived with a Hearcy (spelling must be wrong) family in Marion township in 1850. Caroline's sister, Amanda Woodward Wallace, b. 1826 and a widow with a 3 year-old son William, lived down the road in Lafayette township with a Ferdinand Williams family. Both disappear from the records afterwards. Did they marry and change their names? Did they go some place else where they can't be found in 1860? Another Woodward sister, Nancy Woodward Holt, b. 1825, moved to Lafayette township by 1860. Ouachita appears to be an important place in my family history. Any ideas on tracing these two women?
