Thank you to the person who posted the Searcy County Federal Land Records. I hate to ask a stupid question but I'm not sure what to make of all the information. The title states, "...includes Homestead and Cash Entry Patents before 1908..." What is a Homestead Patent? And, for several people there are coordinates for land but the "Acres" section is blank...any idea what is that entry showing? Thank you to anyone who can give me some insight!

Mountain Wave newspaper reported in the CLINTON JOURNAL 5 Oct 1905 Accidentally Killed Probably the saddiest death ever in Van Buren County occured two miles south of Settlement yesterday morning. As we heard it, LALIE, the ten-year old daughter of Dr.F.M. CLARK, of Lexington, and her mother, were visiting at MATHIS BRADFORD'S. She and her seven year old cousin,ROY BRADFORD, were playing with a target rifle; she was standing on the second stair step when ROY thought of the shotgun and undertook to pull it from under the bed,when it discharged and blew the top of LALIE'S head off.

Sandra, Found only one marked mentioned name of MARTIN, Nov 1905 The Mountain WAVE "The 13 mo old baby of Mr. and Mrs. ERVIN MARTIN,who lives on the PHILO HARVEY place just North of town,died at an early hour Monday morning." I think this was the Richland news items.

.... Alexander BROWN (my great great grandfather) he is listed in the 1880 census as married to Louisa and had a son Albert. Alexander was a doctor there in Beaver township. Alexander left Arkansas and moved to MO with Melinda DREWERY one of the servants in the household. I do not know if he divorced Louisa or just left her with their son. I would like to find out what happened to Albert if he married had children or what. Also would like to find out more about Louisa. Thanks for any help you can give. Marge Brown

I will be out of the office starting 08/06/2001 and will not return until 08/14/2001. I will respond to your message when I return from Gahanna, OH.

I was interested in your message because my family also has a Robards/Dean connection. The family migrated to Missouri through Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, possibly Ky at some time. My father was Henry Eugene Robards (b. 1902), and his brother was John Dean Robards (born 1911). Family names through blood or marriage, that I can remember, include: Grim (I remember an uncle Ezra Grim), Seward, Foncannon, Culp. Othere given names were Samuel and William. My grandfather, Jesse Robards, was a veternarian. He was married to Harriet Phigenia Foncannon. Later, Jesse Robards, headed up the hoof and mouth disease program in Texas. My father and his brother were born either in Kirksville or Thayer, MO, and I know some of the ancestors lived in Hannibal, Mo. I know that my father's immediate family branch had no girls born into that branch from about 1830-1930. They always told my sister and me that we were the first girls born into that immediate branch of the Robards family in over 1! 00 years. Evidently. they didn't have the usual large families or surely they would eventually have had some female children. I know that they were kin to the badly portrayed Lewis Robards (married to Rachael Donalson who later married Andrew Jackson).I have many old photographs, and tintypes, taken at studios in Logan, Ohio and Terra Haute Indiana, as well as some from Iowa. Some branch of the Foncannon family were in the Dakota Territory, many photos from there also, most of the pictures seem to have been taken in the middle to late 1800s (my guess by dress etc.). The tintypes probably date back to the middle 1800s.If you can connect with any of this information, I would love to hear from you and share whate I have.

Dorthea, Would you look to see if there is anything about James Martin 1855 and his missing wife, Isobelle, Elizabeth or Mary Martin. She could have any of these 1st names. She died after her husband James Martin and before 1860. Thank You, Sandra

I don't know how this post ended up here. How do I get this post re-indexed correctly?

Dorthea Gamel: In your book of Searcy County Obits, is there a listing for Louisa Dean Treadwell, died april 1859? Am not completely sure of the maiden name. In John's pension papers it is listed as Deal but I have found nothing with that name and have been informed that there were families named Dean and am more inclinded to believe that it is Dean. Anyway, she died in childbirth. she was married to John Franklin Treadwell probably in 1858. John was the son of Rev Daniel and Nancy J Lee Treadwell. thanks for looking. Marilyn Parkinson
