Camden, AR is my hometown....and have many Knight relatives, living in the area....Does anyone on this board have information about the Knight's Landing Restaurant, that was in the Holiday Inn? This restaurant had memorabilia pertaining to the Knight Family who settled the Knight's Landing, located just outside of Camden. When I found out about this, I took a trip to Camden and discovered that the Holiday Inn had an awful fire. I Was told that it there were plans to reopen, but, several visits since then, and it was still vacant.... If anyone can give me some information as to what information was on the walls, etc of the restaurant and what happened to that information? I was told that my aunt sent some things to the city for historical purposes, but, do not know what happened to them....Please contact me if you have any information..... Thanks, Dee Hall [email protected]

(Walnut Ridge). In particular I am looking for Shrilda (or Serilda) McLAIN, daughter of James D (Drew I think) McLAIN, who was a son of James D., who was a son of Squire and wife Melinda Caroline HARDIN, and Squire was a son of Charles McLAIN and wife Perlina---first found in Lawrence County, Strawberry top, AR on the 1850 census. Squire and wife, and below them son James D. and a wife Lizzie are on the 1900 census in Lawerence County. This James D. also was married I think to a Josie. This James D. also named a son James D., b 1890 AR. The name Serilda / Shrilda was given to a daughter of Squire's and Melinda's, and it was given to a daughter born to Squire's grandson James D. (Drew) McLAIN( b1890) and wife Amanda. James D. b 1890 AR and wife Amanda b 1893 AR who proably married 1914-1915 in AR were on the 1930 census in Arkansas > Lincoln > Star City > District 7, Cane Creek township. I am hoping to find this line from James D.McLAIN / McCLAIN and wife Amanda's daughter Shrilda / Serilda McLAIN born about 1922 in AR, who was 8 years old on the 1930 census in Lincoln County AR--- this line may have also been in Hot Springs. This McLAIN / McCLAIN line came from (99% proven) from Weakley County, TN line most likely from NC before that, and were in KY and IL, as well as TN, some to AR and some to MO. Children of Charles McLAIN, b about 1805 TN or IL and wife Perlina Unknown (maybe also McLAIN)---Thier children--Siblings of Squire are: Christianna, b about 1830 TN; David b about 1832 TN; John Henry b about 1835-37 TN; Squire b Nov. 1842 TN; and in Lawrence Co, AR--William California b 1853 near Walnut Ridge. Christianna married James SMITH in AR; DAvid married Susan E. MULLENS / MULLINS, he died circa 1855-60 and Susan remarried Wm. FLETCHER; John Henry (my gg grandfather) married Sarah Catherine AGEE b 1842 TN; and Wm. California married several times---Ellen and perhaps also Martha FRY, maybe DENT, and finally to Nancy Saphronia MEAD. Any help appreciated. Audrey Williams Stanaland

I am not familiar with all the ins and outs of Social Security law but recall that my grandfather who was born in 1870 in AL applied for a Social Security card in 1936 in AR and received the card. When he died in 1947 the Social Security funeral benefit was paid.

It is true that individuals born before 1865, yet lived into the 1950's, were not eligible to sign up for a Social Security card, or at least assigned a number? c. Braggs

A lot of people in that age group would have signed up for a SSN since they would have been due benefits. The main problem most of them had was proving their birth. If you were to go to the court house and look at the logs for birth records, you would find numerous people having their birth recorded for the first time, w/witnesses included, in order to get a SSN.

This is very true, my mom is one of those. She was born in the '30s and she had to go to the courthouse with her mom in 1960 to get a certified birth certificate. "Nancy M.

Buried in Tate's Bluff Cemetery are: ALLEN, D.M. 02 Feb 1848 - 19 Apr 1918 ALLEN, Henry M. 27 Jul 1870 - 26 Apr 1936 It is possible that in a time of deprivation such as Ouachita County experienced during the Civil War, there was no money for headstones. If you can locate his grave, the Veterans Administration will furnish a free marker for it.

Whether you have the Death Certificate of your Grandmother or Grandfather is not clear. However the certificate should identify both, since the deceased and his/her spouse are both listed. Also, both the place and date of death, and the place and date of birth are listed on the death certificate. Her Death Certificate will verify that Jessie was born 7 Dec 1892 and identify the place of birth. Arkansas did not keep birth records and records of deaths until 1914. Locate Jessie as a 7 or 8 year old in the 1900 Census. I have checked Cemetery Records without locating anyone you named. I will try to locate an obituary for Arizona became the 48th state in 1912. Birth and Death Records are available, since 1909 from: Vital Records Section Department of Health Service POB 3887 Phoenix NM 85030 Similar but earlier records from 1887 are available from the county seats in AZ. The state only has 15 counties. To verify fees, phone (602) 255-1080. I have searched Ouachita County records for those you named without success. I will seek an obituary from the Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock. I am a Professor Emeritus at Harding University and have access to microfilm of that publication from 1819-to the present.

Shirley, The complete title of the book is Arkansas Links: A Comprehensive Guide to Genealogical Research in the Natural State. The author is Rhonda S. Norris who owns and operates her own business, Arkansas Genealogical Research. Perhaps she has a website that could assist you. I hope that this helps. Linnea

Shirley, It's a book. You can obtain a copy in your Library, or if they do not have a copy in their Library, you can probably obtain a copy through the Library by Inter-Library Loan, or go to your local bookseller. Linnea PS The author spoke at our Library a few years ago and it was quite good. I think that you will learn a lot.
