Hi all! It has been a while since I posted this so here goes again. I am still looking for information on this Jones family.

Hi again! It's been a couple of months since I posted this, so will do so again in hopes that someone out there has information on WILLIAM PRESTON MORROW, born February 1857/1858 in INDIANA. According to census records, both of his parents were also born in Indiana. There are conflicting stories about William. One being that he was the sole survivor of an Indian attack as a boy, and the other is he may have had at least one sister, NANCY A/E MORROW, who married JAMES W. JONES, the brother of William Preston's wife, MELVINA JONES, and there was also an EDWARD MORROW in Scott County, Arkansas, who may have been related to William, and may have even been a brother. William was known to be in SCOTT COUNTY, ARKANSAS from about 1880-1883 until his death in 1929. Here are the 1900 Scott County census records for both the William Preston Morrow and Edward Morrow families, which may help someone identify them. 1900 Hunt Twp, #86/86 William Morrow Hd Feb 1857 43 Md/20 IN IN IN Melvina Wf Dec 1860 39 5/5 AR AR AR Franklin I.C.

Charlene Holland has put the 1997 Scott County obituaries into the ARGenWeb Archives. These begin with the obituaries from about August of this year and will continue from now on. She is doing a beautiful job and I know we all appreciate her efforts, as will future family researchers. If you'd like to take a look at them, the location is: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/obit/scotobit.txt You may also get there from a link I've installed on the Scott County ARGenWeb page.

Looking for other researchers of the CRUMP, Scott County, AK. Great grandfather Jacob Robert Crump, married to Adeline Lawrence Brown. Was also married to Lexanner Thayson. Children of Jacob Robert Crump - Robert Rufus Crump and Dovie Crump. Dovie Crump married John Clopton and Robert Rufus Crump married Christian Ann Rose.

Delaine, BINGO. The "Amaziah" B. Hunt on my records was b. 21 Nov 1872 in Missouri. Your "Albert" B. Hunt was also b. in Nov 1872, per your copy of the 1900 census. They both m. ladies named "Harriett Sessions" . . . So, it seems like we are indeed talking about the same individual! I have corrected my records to indicate his true name "Albert." Let me know when I can return the favor. Billy

In a message dated 97-11-17 13:24:11 EST, you write: << Hi Billy, I thank you for your kind words about my little story on Sessions. If I've got the right Harriet, she was the daughter of Robert E. Sessions and Zilpha Elizabeth Womack. (Brothers who married sisters, so the same lineage as the John F. Sessions and Diltha Tennessee Womack I wrote about.) Harriet born 1879 and died 1966? Delaine >> Thanks for your reply, Delaine. After sending you the e-mail, I realized that it went to you personally and not the group. Sorry for that mistake. (I'll try to do better next time!!!) My Amaziah Bailey HUNT, Jr., b. 21 Nov 1872 and d. 29 Jan 1939, so he's about the same age as your Harriet, who was b. 1879. I have no other details except that they m. 13 Sep 1896 -- my A.B. HUNT would have been 23 years old and your Harriet would have been about 17, which is not an impossibility. As always, I am willing to freely share the results of my work with responsible researchers. Let me know how I can help. Billy

Some of the items that involve Scott County include numerous articles of deaths, marriages, murders, knifings, Legal Notices, Church, etc. Some of the communities mentioned include Bald Mountain, Blue Ball, Waldron, Cedar Creek, Park, etc. I'll pass along a few Scott County names from articles in the book.

Hi, I want to thank all of you who replied to my Jessie Hunt query. One very useful bit of information I learned was about a book that has been published of Yell County newspaper abstracts for the time period 1875 - 1879. Faye Greenwood Sandy compiled these records from microfilm and tells me there are many, many items in it from Scott County. A few issues from 1887 and 1888 are the earliest Scott County newspapers I've been able to find. You can read about this book and also check the index at: http://biz.ipa.net/arkresearch/desco.html#yell I found many Scott County names in the index. Delaine Edwards

Are there any Hunt family researchers on this list? I know the Hunts were in both Scott and Yell Counties, but that's about the extent of my knowledge of them. I'm looking for any information on a Jessie Hunt, born Dec 1879 AR - parents both born AR. He was on the 1900 Scott Co. census at Park Township with wife Gurthula J., born Sep 1877 (MO TX AR) no children, they'd been married 2 years. No marriage record found in Scott Co. In their household was a nephew, Edie (Eddie?) Parient (Parrent/Parent?) who was born Oct 1882 in AR. Jessie and Gurthula Hunt are not listed on the 1910 or 1920 Scott Co. census, nor have I been able to find Jessie as an infant on the 1880 Scott Co. census. Any help on this will be appreciated!

Hi, This is a long query, so I'll list all the surnames mentioned in it and you can hit the delete button if you're not interested: Sessions, Loa, Womack, Kilburn, Hawkins, Tolleson, Lackey, Calvert, Croy, Sims, Nelson and Ramsey. The following is a paper I've written as part of a research project for the Scott County Historical & Genealogical Society in which I am researching each of the families listed on the 1900 Scott County census who were living in Parks Township. My question is: The 1962 obituary of John F. and Dialtha (Womack) Sessions daughter Sarah (who married John Bell Hawkins) lists one of her two surviving brothers as B.J. Sessions of Houston, Texas. The other was Bob Sessions of Bakersfield, California and must have been her youngest brother, Robert Bonnie Sessions. WHO WAS B.J. SESSIONS???? Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. The Sessions story follows: JOHN F. SESSIONS FAMILY #90/102 Sessions, John F. Hd Apr 1851 49 Md/29yrs AR GA IL Dialtha T. Wf Jun 1855 44 10/8 AR TN TN Loy F. Son Aug 1888 11 AR TN AR Minie Dau May 1892 8 AR AR TN Lora C. Dau Oct 1894 5 AR AR TN Robert B. Son Oct 1898 1 AR AR TN John F. Sessions was born 7 May 1852 in Scott County, the son of James A. and Lucinda (Loa) Sessions. His parents both died when he was a child and he was raised by first one and then another family, as were his brother and three sisters. He married Dialtha Tennessee Womack about 1871, probably in Scott County. Dialtha was born in 1854 in Lawrence County, Tennessee, the daughter of James Wiley and Hannah (Kilburn) Womack. Her parents came to Scott County along with the Kilburns in the late 1850s, stopping for a short time in Missouri. She was also orphaned at an early age and was brought up by relatives. John F. Sessions was a merchant at Boles and was appointed postmaster there in 1889. He was a minister of the Freewill Baptist Church, as was his brother Robert. John died 4 July 1918 and Dialtha died in 1940. Both are buried at the Buffalo Cemetery at Boles. Their children, all born in Scott County, were: 1Sarah P. Sessions, born 18 June 1872. She married John Bell Hawkins 11 December 1887 at Boles. She died at Heavener, LeFlore County, Oklahoma 27 February 1962 and is buried at Buffalo Cemetery at Boles. (See Dwelling #210/232 in this series.) 2Elizabeth E. Sessions, born October 1876, according to the 1900 census. She married Lorenzo Dow Tolleson 28 August 1892 at Boles. (See Dwelling #16/18 of the Mountain Township series.) 3William F. Sessions, born 18 December 1877. He married Cora F. Lackey 20 November 1898 at Boles. He was a physician and died 3 February 1958 and is buried at the Lackey Cemetery, Hitchita, McIntosh County, Oklahoma. (See Dwelling #208/230 of this series.) 4Joy Jane Sessions, born 18 January 1881 and died 22 August 1883. She is buried at the Buffalo Cemetery at Boles. She is one of the two children listed as deceased on the 1900 census above. 5Frances L. Sessions, born c1884. She married William Calvert 27 April 1898 at Boles. She died in 1939 and is buried at the Lackey Cemetery, Hitchita, McIntosh County, Oklahoma. (See Dwelling #18/20 of the Mountain Township series.) 6Lucy Jane Sessions, born 19 January 1888 and died 22 June 1891. She is buried at the Buffalo Cemetery at Boles. She is the second of the two children listed as deceased on the 1900 census above. 7Loy F. Sessions, born c1889. He married Mary Ella Croy 10 June 1906 in Scott County. They are found on the 1910 Scott County census at Mountain Township. Mary Ella had borne one child and it had died. No further information. 8Minnie M. Sessions, born May 1892, according to the 1900 census. She married Charles M. Sims 15 August 1909 in Scott County. On the 1920 Scott County census they were living in Mountain Township in the village of Boles and had four children: Ray, age 11; John, age 9; Audry, age 6 and Geraldine, age 3. In 1962 when Sarah (Sessions) Hawkins died, Minnie Sims was listed in her obituary as living at Hitchita, Oklahoma. 9Lora C. Sessions, born October 1894, according to the 1900 census. She married Joe W. Nelson 27 October 1913 in Scott County. In 1962 she was living in Hitchita, McIntosh County, Oklahoma. 10Robert Bonnie Sessions, born October 1898, according to the 1900 census. He married Ozie Ramsey 18 January 1920 in Scott County. He is listed on the 1920 Scott County census in Mountain Township, Dwelling #59/60, living at home with his widowed mother, who is listed as D.T. Shessings. In 1962 he was living in Bakersfield, Kern County, California. The parents of John F. Sessions, the James A. Sessions family, is first found on the Scott County census of 1850, enumerated in Hickman Township. The wife, Lucinda, and the children are listed as mulattos on that census. The Goodspeed article tells us that James and Lucinda's marriage took place in Mountain Township of Scott County. The same source informs that James had come to Arkansas as an agent to the Creek Indians and that he also acted as an interpreter "...being well acquainted with the Creek, Choctaw and Cherokee languages..." It is very likely that Lucinda was an Indian, rather than a mulatto. Indians and others were often listed on the early census records as mulattos. Both James and Lucinda died around 1860 and according to the Goodspeed article left five children: 1Eliza J. Sessions who married David Ausmus; 2Permelia Ann Sessions who married J.H. Blackwell; 3Robert E. Sessions who married Zelpha Elizabeth Wo-mack; 4John F. Sessions (subject of this story) and 5Sarah Sessions who married Compton Hollis. On the 1860 Scott County census, only two of these Sessions children are found: Robert, age 11, was living with the E.H. Densmore family in Tomlinson Township. Sarah Sessions, age 5, was living with the John H. and Malinda Blackwell family in Mountain Township. The other three children are not found on the census but may have been enu-merated under the surnames of the families with whom they were living.
