Dd Hober, I have just begun to look into my husbands McClung family. I do not know of any Walkers in this family, but then I don't know much about it. I do know that one of my WATTS family cousins has found a WALKER in her line. YOu may wish to contact her. Kelly Mitchell<mitchkelly@hotmail.com> I did go to school in Marshall,AR in the 1950's and 1960's. THere was a WALKER family of children that attended with me. I can remember Wanda and her sister Kitty. Their dad remarried to a Roberts woman who had several children . With his and hers, they had a housefull. I believe they left here and went to Texas. The Marshall School may have info. on where they may have moved to?? About the HOlliman . I know that there are several at Quitman AR.( I think it is in Cleburn Co.) A woman contacted me some years ago(1998) , but I could not find any relationship with her line. I will give you the last address I had for this other Holliman line. Ivaleine Cooper E-mail<ikcooper@elite.net> She signed as Kay Cooper from Atwater, CA. Hope this helps.

Thanks, David

Mysty, This regards one of the family names listed to Margie's post. The HATFIELD FAMILY. I want to share a story that was recently told to me and my husband Rick , by his Aunt Lenora ( HOlliman) Quick.( She is the daughter to William Daniel Holliman and Ressie Arzella McClung Holliman. Ressie's mother and dad are William and Sara (Davis) McClung. Lenora said that the story was told to her by one of uncles of her mothers family. Her mother was Ressie McClung one of the Searcy county, Ar. McClung decendants. The story is : When the famous "HATFIELD and the McCOYS" were fuding in Missouri, some/or one of the McCoys moved to Arkansas and changed their name to McClung. It was from one of these boys that the Searcy County ,Ar. McCLUNG family decend from . They were trying to escape from the fuding and moved here. When I read the name HATFIELD I couldn't help but remember this story. Especially when I saw that Misty told that these families were in the northern part of Searcy Co. and also in Marion and Baxter counties. It is my understanding from family that this is the general area that they settled into. We have a WILLIAM family member who married into the Holliman Family also. From what I have learned all of these families migrated to Arkansas from Missouri. The HOLLIMAN, WILLIAM, McCOY ( McCLUNG). Another interesting thing is that Ressie (McClung)HOlliman named one of her children none other than "COY Holliman"! I wonder why?? Could the story be true. Does any one out there know anything about this??? Just another story. :] Marinda Holliman >From: "Mysty McPherson" <shakerag@mtnhome.com> >To: ARSEARCY-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [ARSEARCY] Beaver Township? >Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 12:39:25 -0500 > >When the 1880 census was enumerated, Beaver Township was in the upper >northeastern portion of Searcy Co.

Thanks for the credits, Marinda, but all I did was explain to Margie where Beaver Township, Searcy Co. was located in 1880. If some of her ancestors were there, I don't know about them. All I did was find Beaver Township. I do know that there's an excellent library - McClung Library - in, I think, Nashville TN; that there were bunches of McClungs all over MO around the 1860s and 1870s; and that a widowed McClung from TN died in childbirth in MCAR 1869 and that her 3 McClung children, raised by her 2nd husband (Charles W Baldridge), took the name Baldridge as their own. And we had bocoodles of Hatfields in Maine when I was growing up there. One even became a fairly well-known Hollywood actor (I can still see him as a very young man - gorgeous - one of my kid sister's flames - before he became famous). Fun story, though. You should research it.

Need some help tracing a THOMPSON. My grandmother's oldest sister, Emma Elizabeth Potter married William (Franklin) Thompson in Leslie, AR...May 24, 1888. Emma was 17 and William was 23 and it lists both of them as being from Leslie. I am trying to trace William....who his parents were, where he was from, exactly where he was born (one source says he was born 1866 in Conway Co) Emma and William had three children...Lilburn (L.E.), Rosa, and William Roy. Emma died in 1900 and her parents, Leander and Margret Branum Potter raised these three children along with their own 7. They moved from Leslie to Valley Springs about 1893 and they sent these children, as well as their own, to the Valley Springs Academy to school (my maternal grandmother, Ertie Potter (Wallis) started lst grade there in 1898, along with Rosa Thompson) After Emma's death, I do not know what happened to William Thompson. Did he die too? Remarry and move away? When Rosa and William "Roy" grew up they lived in Texas and L.E. lived in Albuquerque. Rosa married a Garth Daniels. "Roy" married a Ruth D'Acres. ANY help here would be appreciated. Thanks, Ginny

Thank you for your help on the location of Beaver Township, the information is just what I needed. Now another question......is there a map of the county around 1880? The maps on the USGenWeb page for AR are for the whole state. I would really to see a county map in detail. Thanks again for your help, Marge Brown Names I am researching: BROWN, CLARK, DREWREY, DUDLEY, HATFIELD, McCALL, SHEALY, SHIRLEY, SLAUGHTER, VEST,

Can someone tell me where Beaver Township was located? My family is listed in the 1880 census in Beaver. I can not seem to find it on any map Thanks for any help Marge Brown Names I am researching: BROWN, CLARK, DREWREY, DUDLEY, HATFIELD, McCALL, SHEALY, SHIRLEY, SLAUGHTER, VEST,

When the 1880 census was enumerated, Beaver Township was in the upper northeastern portion of Searcy Co. AR. It was bounded on the north by Marion Co and on the east by Baxter Co. Campbell Township was to the south of Beaver Township. There seems to be some question as to what township bordered Beaver on the east - probably Tomahawk, but that's just a guess. These townships are political subdivisions of the county and are created on a population basis in order to provide equal representation in elections etc. Hope this helps.

Mrs. Louise Brint Jones is questioning why William Martin (same age) would be listed as the head of household when Peter Martin is the older brother. Mrs. Louise Brint Jones states, "I can't emagine them living with Peter & Rachel unless close kin." The following is the 1850 census of Peter Martin & Rachel (Shipman) Martin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Schedule I - Free Inhibitants in Campbell Township in the County of Searcy State of Arkansas Enumerated By Me On The Twelth Day of November 1850. John Campbell Ass.t Marshal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 210/315 William Martin age 22 (m) Farmer Tennessee Minerva [Martin] age 22 (f) Alabama Malinda K. [Martin] age 6/12 (f) Tennessee ___/316 Peter Martin age 22 (m) Farmer Tennessee Rachel [Martin] age 22 (f) Tennessee James J. [Martin] age 4 (m) Tennessee William M. [Martin] age 2 (m) Tennessee Mary Jane [Martin] age 1 (f) Tennessee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William Martin in the above U.S., 1850 Searcy County, Arkansas census is William David Martin, and he and his family move on to the Counties of Butte, Colusa, Shasta, Glenn & Yolo, in the State of California. The following is the U.S., 1860 Butte County, California census of William David Martin, who I believe is a cousin to Peter Martin and his brothers and sisters. [No Documentation As Of Yet] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Schedule I - Free Inhabitants In Kimshew Township In The County Of Butte, State Of California, Enumerated By Me On The 3d Day Of July 1860. J. S. Henning Ass't Marshall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 406/459 Wm D. Martin age 32 (m) Stock Raiser 800/900 Tennessee Minerva [Martin] age 29 (f) Alabama M. C. [Melinda Catherine] [Martin] age 10 (f) Tennessee M.J. [Martin] age 8 (f) Arkansas Jas M. [Martin] age 6 (m) [Arkansas] Susan [Martin] age 4 (f) [Arkansas] Jno [Martin] age 2 (m) California David Benidich age 28 (m) Laborer Mass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have no documentation as of yet, but I believe William David Martin to be the brother to my Martins, of Johnson & Sebastian County, Arkansas; Marion County, Illinois; Perry County, Alabama; Franklin & Henderson County, Tennessee. I have done a lot of research on William David Martin and his family in California. An intestate will of James M. Martin in 1854, (Johnson County, Arkansas), stated that William Martin lived in the State of Arkansas. See above in the U.S., 1860 Butte County, California census that William David Martin lived in the State of Arkansas in 1854, and in fact named one of his sons, James M. Martin.
