I copyied the recipe for the chocolate gravy. My mom was telling me about it. That it was all the good sweet stuff they ever had. She said it tasted soo good It terrified me when grandma would wring the chicken's neck. The chicken kept running after their heads were gone. Laughing. Linda Pollock
Hi. Would any one know if Gladys Tull Ensey could have been the wife of Bob Ensey. Is there a newspaper obits. some where. Do people from Waldron use the computers? Do they go on line.? How many people live in Waldron. How about Parks.
Isn't that the truth. I can remember the huge meals my grandma use to make. Fried chicken (which I hated because I had seen her wring the chicken's necks), and all the fixings. All cooked on a woodstove. I do love chicken now, though. How I would love to see my grandma again, though through this genealogy I can see her in my heart much more clear and I think that you all must feel about the same about your grandmas and grandpas. Those women back then worked harder than we can even imagine, I think. Not that we women nowadays don't work hard, we do. But can you imagine how hard it was "way back when"!

Thanks to both Barbara and Juanita - my branch of the Tates, Wilsons, and Hutchinsons left Scott County soon after 1900, but we had "Chocolate gravy"; in fact, I still make it, but I toast the buttered biscuits first. I haven't tried to make teacakes in a while, but I will make them for Thanksgiving, as a reminder. Is it genealogy? Of course; the most lasting and loved traditions come from our kitchens. Betty
CHOCOLATE GRAVY 1/3 cup coco powder 1 scant cup sugar 1/3 cup flour 2 dashes of salt { from salt shaker} 2 cups water 1/2 cups canned milk Mix all dry ingredients in 2 qt, sauce pan, add water and milk, with a whisk mix all togeather then cook on med heat till thick, open a hot biscuit put a slab of butter on each side, cover with chocolate gravy and enjoy. My children have enjoyed this as much as we did when I was a child, Juanita
Barbara, Thank you for the wonderful cookie recipe. I was taught by my Mother to cook the same way, My children wanted my recipe for Chocolate Gravy, I had to make it then transfer my pinch to a measuring spoon. Thanks, Juanita
Hi everyone. I am looking for information on a new "relative" and was hoping someone might be researching the same family. Charles A. Pendergraft, born c. 1881 in AR married Allie Godwin, born Oct. 1886 in AR. They married in Logan County 12 Nov. 1902 and are shown as living in Lewis Township, Scott County in 1920. Children include: Luther c. 1904, Lefa c. 1906, Athe c. 1912, Ervil c. 1914, and Harold c. 1920. All the children were born in AR. Are there any Pendergraft researchers out there? If so, I would love to hear from you. Thanks, Cindy
Several people have requested the recipe so thought I'd post it: Mrs. Starr's Sugar Cookies 4 eggs (or 3) 2 cups sugar 1 cup shortening 3 tps baking powder 2 tps vanilla 1/2 cup of sweet milk pinch salt enough flour to make soft dough. roll out on to wax paper. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- I never could make them well myself because I couldn't figure out how much flour was enough! I think about 2 cups. The above is what I wrote as my grandma gave it me from her memory. She probably used a coffee cup to to cut round shapes I'd bet as I don't recall her having regular measuring cups, spoons or cookie cutters, but she was a really good cook. The sweet milk just refers to regular homogenized milk. Barbara
Several weeks ago I wrote regarding a sugar cookie recipe my grandmother had which was called Mrs. Starr's Sugar Cookies. I remembered it with much fondness, but really didn't think too much about it until I also received from Charlene Holland an obituary of my great great grandmother Priscilla Emmarine Hutchinson Johnson, which mentioned a Mrs. Leo Starr and my grandma Mrs. Dollie Hale thanking them for helping take care of Grandma Johnson during her final illness. I wondered if perhaps that Mrs. Starr was the Mrs. Starr of the Sugar Cookie recipe. Now thanks to several people, I can report that they were one and the same. Carla Brigance mentioned to my cousin Carolyn Hill about my initial post and Carolyn sent me a 2-page letter about Mrs. Leo Starr. Thanks to Carolyn's description I also found two paragraphs in O. Alden Smith's book "Scott County - Gateway to the West," about Mrs. Starr. Then I wrote to her nephew John P. O'Nale and he responded that indeed his aunt was well known for her sugar cookie recipe that they referred to as tea cakes. Mrs. Starr was born Mary Leo O'Nale on August 6, 1885 in Scott County, Arkansas to John Simpson O'Nale and Susanna Godwin O'Nale and married Walter Raymond Starr December 5, 1905 in Scott County, Arkansas. They had three children: Carmen, Violet and Farrell. Geneaology and research is not tied just to our ancestors and descendants alone, but to all the "ties" that make us who we are today. Thanks to all mentioned above for helping me find another piece of my history! Barbara Hale Reynolds

I think I need to make alittle clearer the leading paragraph to a posting "69 names linked to Johnston" I made a couple days ago. Ive had 2 out of about 25 respondents miss the first sentence of it and there may be others . Please note the underscored sentences . The following are names and the years they married into the Johnston family: Who lived in Pa,Ky,NC,Ga,Tn,Ind,Ark,Tx &surrounding states from 1790-present. Any Link Questions, please "paste/ copy "to me your link to Johnston. If you place any other name than Johnston in the "subject" area,it will likely be automatically deleted. I know nothing about most of these families except the name of the person and the year of marriage into the Johnston clan.

Is anyone working on this family who was living in Cedar Township of Scott Co. in 1900: James Grigsby, 20, of Cedar Creek was married to Miss Janey Holsomback, 18, of Cedar Creek on 1 January 1891 (Book B, page 29.) James M. Grigsby, Jr. was born April 1871 to James M. Grigsby and Catherine Rosanna Herrin. Catherine was the daughter of John Herrin and Sarah Ann Martin. Martha Jane Holsomback was born November 1872 in Texas, the daughter of David L. and Martha J. Holsomback who are found on the 1880 Scott County census living at Cedar Creek. The children of James M. and Martha Jane Grigsby as found on the 1900 and 1910 census: 1Susie Zippie Grigsby, born September 1892. Zippie Grigsby, 18, of Cedar Creek was married on 2 July 1911 to H.D. Coker, 23, of Cedar Creek (Book D, page 211.) Huda D. Coker was the son of Tilford D. and Maggie Coker and he was back home with his parents at the time of the 1920 census, divorced. He later married Ada Larimore Cornelius. No further record has been found for Susie Zippie Grigsby. 2Archie A., who is listed as Arlie D. Grigsby on the 1910 census, was born February 1894. No further information. 3E.M. Grigsby was born 6 May 1895 and died 11 July 1896. She is buried at Cedar Creek Cemetery. 4Fannie B. Grigsby, born April 1899. No further information. 5Oscar L. Grigsby, born c1901.
