Hi! I am still out here looking for information on this JONES family. I have been unable to trace DAVID J. JONES any further back than 1850 in Scott County, AR,nor do I know who his parents were.

I hope the person researching the Beatty family is on this list and will contact Debi. Thanks! Delaine From: debi@cswnet.com X-Sender: debi@mail.cswnet.com Date: Sun, 22 Mar 1998 21:55:28 -0600 To: delaine@ipa.net Subject: Beatty Surname Delaine I am researching the Beatty surname. I have been in contact with L. Dale Epperson who has some information on the family that may connect up. He has also been in contact with a man from Greenwood who has info on the same family only he has misplaced his name and address. He suggested I contact you to see if you might know his address. He says that the man has put a lot of information in the Scott County Historical Society. He is suppose to be on aol. I know that this is not much to go on but I would be thankful for any help. I have come to a dead end on my research as I only had a few names to go on and Dale said it would be later in the summer before he could share any of the info he has as he is real busy at this time. Thanks for any help. Debi Debi Beatty(debi@cswnet.com)

Where might I find information for the 1880, 1900 & 1910 census for Scott County, OK? I am looking for information on Joseph P. REED, and wife Mary E. POLLARD, son- Wm. C.(10?), and Mary Edna Elizabeth Emiline(2?), and possibly a new born. Joseph died in Scott County, and is buried there, however, there are not dates on the stone. I know that he died before the 1900 census, because his wife Mary E. (POLLARD) is widowed with 4 children. Walter O., Bertrum W., John P., and Daisie P. Sincerely, Geneva G. (seek and ye shall find!)

I am looking for information on a Drew Roland, or Rolen That lived in Scott Co. Ark. He had a son by the name of Jefferson.

I am trying to find information on a Drew or Drury Roland, or Rolen that lived in Scott Co and raised family there. He probably died between 1890 & 1900. He had several children Frances,Henry, Margaret, Joseph, & Ida by his first wife. Sarah. Then by another wife Porthena he had several children. Anna, Jane, Jefferson, Annettie. Or information on any of his children.

I just received the following request and I am unable to find a thing for him and hope some of you will have some ideas for him. I've never heard of a Dilstaff here in Scott Co. and wonder if it was either somewhere else or that name is wrong? I will do some further checking to see if there ever was a Dilstaff community here. I've checked the obituary books for 1910 - 1912 for the surnames Bolden, Bolin and Deck and found nothing. The newspapers for that time period are fairly complete; however, when even one issue is missing there's always the possibility that was the one it was written up in! Any ideas, anyone? Thanks. Delaine Edwards From: dunksearch3@webtv.net Date: Sat, 21 Mar 1998 12:57:43 -0500 To: delaine@ipa.net Subject: Obits Lookup I need your help. I know that surname only lookups are not permitted, but I have very little info to go on. There was a train/wagon collision in Dilstaff, Arkansas in the county of Scott in 1910-1912 in which a husband and wife were killed, orphaning a small child. I know only that the little girl who survived was named Mary Lou Bolden or Bolin and she was put up for adoption and taken in by Thomas and Rose Deck. Any information that you could find about the accident, child, or anyone else involved would be greatly appreciated. I know that this isn't much to work with and I apologize. Thank you. Bill

Could some one tell me where Weeks is located. My map doesn't show it. Also on the marriage lists--check for any Riggs marriages, especially in the 1930s. Thank you Marcene

Well I sent the first message and didn't finish my thought. When my husband and I were in Scott Co. last summer we were not able to find any of he record books (at the court house) that we needed The person who was working there said she didn't know anything about them. Nothing seemed to have a "real home". Books were here, there and everywhere. Would some one be able to tell me how to find what we need the next time we are there, perhaps asking for a particular person that would be willing to show us around for a few minutes. Thanks so much for your time! Linda Holley

I hope Susan won't mind if I share this wonderful story with the rest of you through the Mailing List. Is anyone else working on the same Tate family she is? Can all the rest of you almost "feel" her excitement when she found that tombstone, same as I did? Delaine Date: Wed, 18 Mar 1998 11:48:26 -0600 From: susan jackson <jacksons@cswnet.com> To: delaine@ipa.net Subject: TATES Delaine, I subscribed to the Scott Co. site a couple of months ago and I've written a couple of people about the TATES. It's funny, I never knew just how many different lineages of TATES there were until I started trying to find someone of the same lineage. I even found the same exact name from the same area THOMAS JEFFERSON TATE - different line though. I have quite a bit of info on my TATES from good record keeping, but mostly because of a book my grandfather bought in the 70's, "Tates and Allied Families of the South" by Ethel Updike. Also, Wanda Gray (a distant cousin of my mother) also has stuff I would like to sit down and compare with. We knew my gr-gr grandfather THOS. J. TATE had been married twice and we knew the name of the second wife. My aunt, Ann Hunt (you may know her?), who still lives in Waldron, found an article Wanda had put in the paper about SIDDIE DURLEY, the first wife of THOS. J. TATE. We were in shock! A piece of our puzzle fell in our laps! So I know Wanda probably has other info I'd love to see. My grandfather, Johnny TATE, still lives in Waldron also. His health is not good and I've made this a hobby trying to find things out for him while he's still here. Another discovery I stumbled onto was a miracle in itself. In my TATE book it mentioned an ancestor, my daughters' gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandmother (8 generations back!!) died while visiting a dau. in Belleville, AR. and was buried there. 1..Rev. William MEERS ***m.Frances Murphy MEERS 2..Dina Ann MEERS m.James Madison TATE 3..Thomas Jefferson TATE m1.Siddie DURLEY m2.F.A. MACKEY 4..Earnest Lee TATE m. Georgia Mae BAGWELL 5..Johnny Lee TATE m. Foye Juanita RHYNE 6..Johnnie Sue TATE m. Charles Ray BROWN 7..Susan Annette BROWN m. Ronald D. JACKSON 8..Kristen M. JACKSON 8..Rachel E. JACKSON Well, I live near Belleville. NO ONE had noticed this in the book before and it's been in the family 20+ years! It said she [Frances Murhpy MEERS] was buried in Lower Falls Cemetery. I started calling around because I didn't grow up here. We moved here in '81. I'd never heard of the cemetery, so I called historians, Catherine Rogers, and old people, even a 98 year old black woman that was born here. NO ONE had heard of the cemetery. I was about to give up hope and one day my husband and I were talking about a cemetery he knew of on his work route named "Lower Spring Creek Cemetery" To hurry the story along, we went to this cemetery not expecting to find anything, and we thought if we did, since she had died in the early 1800's the headstones were totally eroded and mostly broken from that era, so we didn't figure we'd know if we did find it. I was out in the middle of the cemetery and my husband was along the edge and I screamed!! There it was, plain as day, "FRANCES MURPHY MEERS", with a brand new headstone. NO ONE in my family knows who put the headstone there. We didn't even know it existed until I found it, really by accident. Someone else would've had to made the same discovery I made, being the wrong cemetery name and all. We'll never know I guess. What a miracle! The most important thing I learned from this is ALWAYS GO ON YOUR HUNCHES when researching family history. It just my pay off like it did for me! My grandfather, Johnny TATE, was SO excited about my find!!! Keep on surfin' and searchin', Susan Jackson :)

I enjoyed the story of the lost tombstone!! I did feel Susan's excitement. Thanks for sharing! Linda Holley

Gosh, you guys have made my day...maybe my whole week...with your nice messages this morning! My hope for the Scott Co. Mailing List is that it will enable more of you to be in contact with others researching the same families. It's a small mailing list - a little over 100 subscribers the last time I checked. But this has always been a small rural county and probably always will be. I'd like to see all of you use the Mailing List more often to post your information. If you don't get any response the first time, post it again after awhile because subscribers to the list are coming and going constantly and you never know when someone new has joined and may be interested in that very family. When you have a query, you might consider posting it both to the webpage and to the mailing list? Thanks again - you're all the greatest! Delaine
