Jan, do you know whether the McEntires in Searcy Co are in any way related to the McEntires in Marion Co? We have brothers John A McEntire b Rutherford Co NC 25 July 1783 m Elizabeth Wylie and C H "Champion" McEntire b Rutherford Co NC 1806 m Sarah Black Waters. Same surname, all b NC - seems like they should be kin to some degree, right?

Brinsley and Nellie moved to Gilmer Co GA before 1840. John and Susanna had 6 children but supposedly John was hung possibly by the KKK in abt 1869 Gilmer Co GA. Susanna J married Wm M Woodard before 1873 and came to Searcy Co AR with family and friends. They are found in the Calf Creek twp in the 1880 census. Wm M Woodard died in 1911 Searcy Co. Susanna J Barnes was the mother of Edward Barnes who married Mary Frances Taylor in Searcy Co. Still trying to find Susanna's parents. Have a bit more if anyone is looking.

At this time in my research, I have not found an Andrew McKinney in my line. Good luck in your search!

I have a William O. McKinney, son of Mary Joan Reeves and Andrew McKinney. He married Lily Langford. Their son, Luther McKinney, is buried at Silver Hill, I think. Need to check notes for that part but I think I have a picture of his stone. Let me know if this connects with you.

I am Sandra Rylee, daughter of Anna Helen Crisel, granddaughter of Walter Crisel and Alice Josephine Glenn. I have some crisel info, but I'm not sure if it is what you need or want. I'm trying to do some research myself on the Crisel's and my fathers side of the family (Rylee). My grandfather Edward James Rylee and Alice Novela Newton were married in Arkansas. E-mail me at "sbamsandy@aol.com" and I will help if I can. I'm moving back to California, from Tennessee, in a few weeks. If I don't reply right away don't worry I will in the future. My computer will be disconnected for a little while.

Hi Karen. I am posting a message every place I see your name. I know it was a few years ago when you put the message on the list but I hope I can help. I have hit a brick wall with Jackson Wesley Smalley so when I saw your note I had to reply. Frederick Howell Smalley was one of their sons. He had a brother named Lester. Jackson Wesley Smalley married Ellen E. Clark 11 Mar 1886,in Van Buren, Crawford Co., Ark. Fred was born 1 Feb 1889. Other siblings were William, George (who died at approx. 14 yrs.), John (who I believe died in Phoenix,) and a girl, Myrtle, who died in infancy. I don't have any dates or anything before their marriage and have hit a brick wall with the Smalleys, til I saw your message. Maybe you have more information by now. I hope. I will be waiting to hear from you to see if you get this message. Thanks, Norma

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to clean up my Searcy County data, and being nosy. I have Mary Frances Ruff (1876 - ?) married to Millard B. Wasson (1856 - 1944). Mary Narcissus Ruff (no dates) married to Eli Campbell Wasson (1859 - 1936) Millard B. Wasson and Eli Campbell Wasson were brothers, the children of Eli Jackson Wasson (1814-1868) and Frances Angeline Voorhies (1818 - 1875). What is the relationship between Mary Frances Ruff and Mary Narcissus Ruff? Also, I have Sarah Ann Elizabeth Ruff (1854 - 1901) married to George Alexander Turney (1855 - 1926). How do the Ruff women fit together? Thanks! - Heather

My name is Nathan Rose, my fathers name is Lester Rose, his father and mother were, Commodore Rose and Lona (Norman). Commodores father and mother were, Robert Lee Rose and Mary Jane (Treat). Lonas father and mother were, John Newton Norman and Eliza (Bradshaw) My mothers name is Clara, I thought. The reason I say that is, I just got a copy of her marriage license and her name was spelled Clerie. Her father and mother were, Thomas Jay Andrew Clark and Francis (Sutterfield). Thomas Jay Andrew Clarks father and mother were Perry Caldwell Clark, Sarah Jane (Sutterfield). Francis Sutterfields mother and father were Perry Moore Sutterfield and Mary Martin. I've been told that I'm also related to the Pasmores on my mothers side. I would appreciate any information on any of the lines listed above. I'm also very interested in my Native American connections. My e-mail address is: natelrose@aol.com Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Nathan Rose

Don't know whether this will be useful, but I found this yesterday at the library. "Searcy Co Marriages 1881-1895" by Ruby Lacy. James Turner aged 27 of Bear Creek m SCAR 17 Aug 1881 Sarah Brown aged 21 of Bear Creek. Newton Reeves aged 28 of Marshall m SCAR 26 Oct 1890 Mrs Sarah Turner aged 30 of Marshall. It concerns me a little that Sarah Brown is not mentioned as "Mrs" when she married James Turner since you say she was married before this. Usually a widow will retain the "Mrs" as well as her deceased husband's surname, but a divorced woman usually not only drops the "Mrs" but often reverts to her maiden surname. I also find it interesting that the only Turner families in the 1880 census are in Richland and Sulphur Springs and that the only James Turner listed is 8 years old. Wonder where this one came from??? In my judgment, if Alice J Reeves were born after 26 October 1890, she would definitely be the child of both Newton and Sarah. However, if she were born before 26 October 1890, she might or might not be the child of both Newton and Sarah.

I was told by Bill Watts that his father, Galieo Watts said that either a cousin or uncle of Galieo's went to Brazil after the civil war. Bill isn't sure if the person stayed in Brazil or moved on to some other part of South America or returned to Arkansas.Galieo's father is Henry Lafayette Watts and Henry's father is James Albert Watts. I would appreciate any info. or research tips on this matter.

Does the name Elmer Turner ring a bell with anyone?? He lived in Searcy CO., and I believe his father is James Turner who married Sally STILLS BROWN in 1870?? I havebeen trying to find out who for sure is whose child and from whose marriage. Sally STILLS BROWN married three times her third mariage was to Joel REEVES. I received some information a while back from another list member that Alice J. Reeves is the daughter of Joels but not Sally's. AS you can tell I am having some troubles with this because it appears that this family was blended from three diffrent marriages and not all the children belong to Sally. Confused yet?? Well I have been mystefied for years. : ~ ) Here is my family tree site that will be helpful when looking at the names in this email. On this site will be dates and more names from Searcy CO., Area. I will be going to the FHC today and possibly to the Genealogical society on Sunday to look for more clues. http://www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/DoubleD/DOUBLED/index.htm#toc Thank you everyone for a wonderful list. You all make me feel like family. DdHober
