Dear Scott County friends, I too am responding late to the request for surnames. I live in Maine and returned recently to a fact finding trip to Scott County. Unfortunately, I didn't find much. The surnames that I'm researching are Bolden (or possibly Baldwin), Conner (or maybe Connor), and Wright. My Bolden family came to Scott County from Missouri around 1890. Great-grandfather Ira Ellis Bolden (1869-1905) is supposed to be buried in Lamb Cemetery in Scott Co, but we were not able to find a headstone. I located a Nathan Conner living in Boone County Missouri along with a half-sister named Mary Baldwin. Both were from Indiana where my Ira Ellis is thought to have been born. Nathan and his family later were located in Polk Co AR. I have reason to believe that Nathan and my Ira were associated in some way and I'm betting that they were half-brothers. I would love to find some confirmation of this fact. I am also interested in discovering when my great-grandmother remarried. Her second husband was Ben Smith and they lived just outside of Waldron until her death in 1950.
