Joanne - I notice you have ancestor Joseph POTTER in Saline Co with two sons - do you know if he had a daughter, Elizabeth POTTER? She married Adolphus WILLIAMS who is also in Saline Co on the 1880 census, with many family members who helped work the farm. Thanks, Venee Stuart-Henson. My email is: [email protected]

Need to find a newspaper obituary for Joseph Potter b. 1808 NY d. 1886 in Saline County, Arkansas. Probate record shows he had sons, William George (of the home) and Thomas Jefferson Potter, Milam County, Texas- surviving spouse, Catherine. Can anyone help? Joanne

Dear Marilyn, It was very kind of you to share your information about the headstone of MOSES BLAND BRAZIL (1846-1921) at Henrietta, TX. Perhaps one of his descendants will read your message and want the picture of his monument you offered. This MOSES BRAZIL was indeed related to the one in Saline County 1830-1869: the senior MOSES was his uncle. MOSES B's father, VALENTINE BRAZIL (1801-1862+), is recognized as an original pioneer of Saline County, arriving there from Lawrence County during the 1820's. MOSES B's mother was ELIZABETH BLAND, daughter of MOSES BLAND. The VALENTINE BRAZIL family, in company with several of their relatives including JAMESes, moved to Ouachita County c.1845. MOSES B's Confederate pension application, filed in Texas, states that he was born at Salem, Ouachita County, and served in Captain MAIN's Company of Colonel GRIFFIN's Regiment before being transferred to "K" Company, 33rd Infantry, Tappan's Brigade, in March, 1865. Carey

Hi, I have a listing of Saline County, Arkansas Obituaries and Death notices 1823-1930. I'd be happy to do lookups. It doesn't include the actual obituary but it tells if they had one an which paper the obit was in and a death date. If your relative is in this listing. The obit can be ordered from Arkansas History Commission. Cindy

I was in a cemetery in Henrietta, TX, attending graveside services for an unrelated person. Imagine my surprise to see a headstone for Moses B. Brazil, Co. K, 33 Ark. Inf., CSA. The dates read Nov. 5, 1846, to April 12, 1921. Since I am not researching this surname, I don't know if this Moses Brazil was related to the Moses Brazil that lived in Saline County, AR. If anyone would like a photo of this headstone, just let me know. Marilyn Kosanke

If anyone has photos of cemetries or head stones they would like to share, I have a section of my website devoted to cemetery photos. --Wm Visit my website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wtbeau/ Researching Beauregard, Diemer, Holder, Haslam, Wright, McKnight, Lowery, Chappell, Hollander, Markham, Goodwin ......

Thanks Bren, I got a lot of replies to that post and do you know that a lot of the replies were more concern over whether or not they should party than helping the human race around the world. They totally missed the point of the message. I wasn't saying not to celebrate, millennium or not it was still the New Year and I myself celebrated. We just wanted people to start thinking about how a lot of that money could be put to better use. Sad, isn't it, when people are more worried about partying than helping others? People gripe about how things are and how tax dollars are used on nonsense but no one wants to do anything about it to change things. And as for as sending it to the mailing list, I have already apologized for that and asked people to email me their comments and not tie up the lists. But they are doing it anyway so now who is tieing up the list. Mostly on the AFHA list. So what more can I do about that. I just don't understand people anymore. Oh well, what's a person to do? Try to have a great day. Carol

Dear Lois and Carol, Saw your posts about the Millinium and couldn't agree more..genealogy or not! With 6 grandkids in schools that have crumbling ceilings, overcrowding, etc., I agree that all the $Zillions spent on the Millinium (ESPECIALLY since it isn't here YET!) makes me sick!!..... ! MAYBE...(though I doubt it), by the REAL Millinium, those who know how to add will figure it out...that you have to finish getting from 0 and THROUGH 1, BEFORE you have a completed year...duh.?? AND...though I doubt this, also...MAYBE 'they' will figure out that spending $Zillions on fireworks, parties, etc., can be better used providing food and shelter for the homeless, $$ for school repair and materials, or...dumb as it sounds...put a few bucks in the bank for a rainy day. Bren

DORTCH Prior to 1880 Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) My 2g grandfather, O.C. DORTCH, was b. 30 March 1838 in AR; d. 22 September 1922 in Morrilton, Conway County, AR. O.C. DORTCH's father. per the Certificate of Death, was H.S. DORTCH--informant was W.F. DORTCH (O.C.'s son). I have been able to trace O. C. back to 1880 via U.S. Census. He was listed as living in Pulaski County, AR with : sons Harvey S., William T. ( F.), daughter Mary J., son Joseph M. and mother-in-law Sarah JENKINS. I assume O. C.'s wife (family tradition indicates wife was Philamine JENKINS) was deceased since she was not listed and his mother-in-law was living in same household. I would appreciate help in taking this line back another generation. I have yet to find out who were the parents of O. C. I have found, however an A. C./O.C. b. about the same time with the Signal (Sigual (?)) DORTCH family of Saline/Grant Counties. There was an O. C. DORTCH listed as part of the Company E, 12th Arkansas Infantry and latter in Company I of Cockes Regt. where was listed as a deserter at Bayou Meto. There is an Olsey C. DORTCH who was part of the 4th Arkansas Union Cavalry. Could it be possible the Confederate O. C. DORTCH and the Union Olsey C. DORTCH be one in the same? Can anyone find records for either of the above military units and share with me additional information? I would be very grateful. Rich Borges --WebTV-Mail-22863-7898--

Hello my friends, Please read this whole thing and send it to your friends. You don't have to make a wish (although saying a prayer wouldn't hurt), nothing will happen to you if you don't or any of that other crap that goes around on the net. This is just some things that need to be said and worked on for the new year. We just want to get the word out so the following is copies of some posts that came across one of my genealogy mailing list. So please read it and think about what it is saying. =o) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

I beg your pardon! It takes a FULL 100 years to make FULL century! Since the late 1700's we have been using the Gregorian Calendar which began with the year "1". 100 divided into a completed 1999 years only comes out to 19.99! We have to complete the year 2000 before a new century or a new millennium begin. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out; just a little common sense and a little math. Of course, we could all become like lemmings and do what everyone else does, even if it is incorrect. Count me out. I'll celebrate the millennium on December 31, 2000. Lois - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFHA] Apologies Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Misty...I, too, apologize for my message. It's just that it was not the new millinnium and I've reached the end of my line over this whole mess. Our various governments (that's you and me), big businesses (that's you and me with higher prices) and private citizens just spent BILLIONS of dollars celebrating something that technically didn't happen. We spent millions for police and national guard units to be out in force and left huge messes to be cleaned up at even more cost. Yet we are unable to feed the hungry and house the homeless. Does this make sense to you or anyone else? We may want to be through with a century that didn't set well, but why not end it with a good year of taking care of the schools that are falling apart and offering shelter for the homeless and food for the hungry? Upgrading our schools so that we no longer have children graduating from high school who can not read or write. We have a year to do some of these things. And, yes, I do some of them. I am a volunteer at the school and I collect for various causes. I've also worked in shelters. That's one of the reasons I cringe and get upset when folks claim the century is over and let's celebrate. What are we celebrating? That we can kill and neglect and subordinate everyone else? Lois - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- I wrote to Lois and told her that I agreed with her and that I was sending these copies out to my friends. She wrote me back to add this: When you send the messages, you might want to add that while we did indeed give everyone a "free" show last night, when it was over they still went back to sleep in their doorways with empty stomachs and could not read the "wonderful" news stories about the night because they were unable to read. I had a telephone call from a long-time friend in London early this morning (1:15 AM my time) and she said the very same things. So, it's not just in this country. She told me that London was absolutely filthy after the "celebration" and it made her sick when she realized how many people went hungry due to the cost of the evening's events. Let's do start a movement. I'm getting hyped just typing this. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I need it sometimes. Lois - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------ Friends, please let's get the word out and get some things changed so this time next year we will really have something to celebrate. I'm signing my name as in a petition to show I am willing to help to get things changed so that we may all have a better place to live. Will you sign up?

Hi All I want to thank all the folks that helped me over the past couple of years to research the families in James Township of the 1900 Scott County Census. The James Township - 1900 Scott County Expanded Census book is finally finished, and the Scott County Historical Society now has it for sale. It is almost 350 pages and has lots of pictures, documents and some information about James Township of that era. It is by no means a full history of the families, but hopefully will help those researching their families from early Scott County. I hope it will be an enjoyable book for anyone who has family from James Twp in the early 1900's. The cost is $30 plus $2.00 shipping. The address is Scott County Historical and Genealogical Society, PO Box 1560, Waldron, AR 72958. Charlene Holland

I am also interested in the Presbyterian Church records. I would like information on where the records are from 1848-1890. Also, the name of the regional church newspaper that reported news of Presyterian churches in Arkansas during that time. Marilyn Kosanke

Leon, I'll be sending you those obits soon...holidays have me a bit unorganized right now. PLEASE send me the web site address again..I must have misplaced that too!! I want to recheck again, and see the new cemetery listings, as well. If I don't get the obits to you before Christmas, please forgive...they ARE coming! Merry Christmas! Bren

Hi. I'm trying to track down some information on a family in Saline County in 1876-1880, and I'm hoping someone can help me with the records I'm looking for. 1. Was there a Presbyterian church in the Benton area from 1876-1880, and, if so, is there a (long-distance) way to find some information from their session records? 2. I was looking through the IGI microfilm index, and there seems to be a gap in the Saline County deed records from 1874 to 1880. Did something happen to those records, or did I just miss them in the index? 3. Are the probate court records from 1876-1880 indexed somewhere? I'm trying to find a probate record for James H. Peden who died sometime between 1876 and the 1880 census. I'd appreciate any information. Also, for any one interested in the Russell, Nelson, Lewis, or Peden families of Saline County, there is some information about them on my website at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~russell/ Margaret Curley [email protected]

On the other hand, my notes show that the Saline Cy Tax Books for 1875, 1877, and 1878 do not exist. Defer to others for a more accurate commentary. Fred Groth San Antonio, TX
