Well, Cathy, I've been thru my two Baker databases, checked MCAR & SCAR records, checked several sources on the Internet, and I still can't come up with who Lucinda Baker was, let alone who her husband was. Matter of fact, I can't come up with a Lucinda Baker (as a daughter or a spouse) anywhere (other than yours) born before the 1870s and 1880s. There appear to be several Bakers in Searcy Co. that don't fit the William Baker family nor the Zebediah Baker family. I'm seriously beginning to think there's at least a third Baker family there. There's no Baker at all in the MCAR 1840 census. But, there is an 1840 Searcy Co census. The microfilm is at the MCAR Library, but I won't have access to it 'til more of this ice-cube weather goes away (our mail lady wrecked her truck this morning and had to go to the hospital so I'm not venturing out on the roads for a while). Maybe someone on the Searcy Co list has access to it. Sorry I couldn't be of help. I'll keep my eyes open just in case I trip over something, though.

I have been quiet long enough. Doe's anyone have ANY information on Ezekial Martin that married Nancy Melton, daughter of James Melton and Permillia Sooter. Ezekial holds the key to locating the family of James Martin. He is related somehow. Either a son from his 1st marriage or a nephew. The data says that he is from KY. Any clue to where in KY? or information on his marriage or death place. I understand that a death place probably will not help. His 1812 War records give no data. Someone must be related to him. This is driving me bananas. Sandra #2

I am looking for any decendants of Joel Newton Reeves & Sarah (Sally) STILLS (maiden name) BROWN TUNRER REEVES Saly (Sarah) was married to Samule Brown in 1879 and had one child before the split up. That one child was Thomas Wilson Brown, my Grandfather. Sally's second husband was James Turner with whome she had several more children with. Still looking for those descendants also. Her third marriage was to Joel Newton REEVES. They had several children also. Here is a list of the children that Sally (Sarah) STILLS (maiden name) BROWN TURNER REEVES *2 i. Tillman2 Reeves was born on (birth date unknown). (possibly a Turner) *3 ii. Sylvia Reeves was born on (birth date unknown). (possibly a Turner) *4 iii. Alice J Reeves was born in AR DEC 1888. (possibly a Turner) 5 iv. Francis Reeves was born in AR APR 1893. 6 v. Ollie Reeves m Millie ? and had 6 children? Died in AZ I believe 7 vi. Nancy J Reeves 8 vii. Joseph Reeves 9 viii. John Reeves I beleive John was the one who died during WWI * These children were born before 1890 when Sally (sarah) was still married to James Turner. Sally married Joel Newton in 1890. I have the copy of the Marriage licesnse. I got those from the LDS Family History Center. I am trying to locate any of these descendants because they may hold some clues to some mysteries we have yet to solve. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Also thank yuo to those who corrected me on the issue of Ruby Lacy's books. Living in Oregon, we have limited resources on AR hsitory.

I expect the Samuel TREAT living with Acey BAKER in the 1880 Census that Mysty mentions in recent postings is: Samuel Andrew Jackson TREAT b. ca 1855, Marion County AR. His parents were John Berry TREAT Jr. b. ca 1820 IN, and Sarah Francis WOOD b. ca 1823, IN. Samuel first married Almanza MASSEY about 1880 in Cherokee Co, Kansas and they had Minnie and Oscar TREAT. He second married Erma Jane GOODALL on 19 Jan 1912 and they had Charley TREAT. They may have had other children but I do not have records on them. Several of the TREAT family on line may have more data on him. I have no idea why he was living with the BAKER family in 1880 but both of his parents were still living at the time of the Census. In the 1870 Census I believe the same person that he married was living with her step-father in Marion County, Flippin Barrens, listed as Almanda ROWLAND. She was also listed in the 1910 Miami Co. Kansas, Osawatomie City, 1st Ward, Kansas State Insane Asylum as Almanza ROWLAND.

HI Listmembers -- Hope all had a very Happy Holiday season. I have request to make to all. I am undertaking the production of a book that will be an update to the book "Brents, The Joshua Tree" by Pauline Phillips Church published in 1979. She is my cousin. I have allot of information that people have sent me, but I would like to include everyone that WANTS to be included/updated in the book. I know that will be 20 years of updates. I hope to have the book ready to go to the printer in March. It will be available for sale to anyone interested. I am estimating the pages to be between 1000 and 2000. At the present time I don't know the price. Please pass this request to anyone that might be interested.

DeSoto Township is still in Marion Co. AR. It's along the banks of the Buffalo River to the east of Rt 14 and north of the Searcy Co AR border. A goodly portion of it is now in the Buffalo National River Park. Doubt you'll find it shown on most maps. Townships are political subdivisions for equalization of population for governmental purposes. You can learn more about it - and about Marion Co - at http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion. You can do the same for Searcy Co at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arsearcy.com and at http://bsd.pastracks.com/states/arkansas/searcy. These are all excellent web sites. I ran across this entry in the Marion Co 1880 census for Buffalo Township (next door to DeSoto Township to the east).

Thanks for that James, I found it later today in BAKER HOLLOW CEMETERY. And we figured out that JOEL BAKER, SR. was the father of this man's Joel Baker, who was the father of an Andrew J. Baker.

Was Lucinda's maiden name BAKER too? I don't think I have seen any maiden name posted. If she was a BAKER before she married Thomas BAKER Sr., who is her family? Does anyone know the answer to this?

I am doing a CLOSE study of the settlers along certain areas of the Buffalo River, in the Richland Creek area and Woolum area. I printed out several of the original Land Patent Deeds from online of many of the settlers there. (I love these old framable documents!). At any rate, one of the Land Patents of ISRAEL BURNS in Section 12, of Township 15 North, Range 18 West, just across the river from Robertson Hill, was first owned and occupied by a Choctaw female named either MOLLY COBB or MOLLY COBLE. On the original land Patent deed her name is MOLLY COBB to Israel Burns. On the Tax records abstracted for Searcy Co. she is called Molly Coble...possibly misread. Does anybody know anything of this MOLLY COBB? I haven't been able to find anything except the tax records of 1851 that Molly was listed on Section 12 and then on the 1857 deed of Isreal Burns the land listed as a Choctaw Patent, from Molly Cobb to Israel Burns..............Just interesting. I know from James Johnston that much of the land in that area could not be patented for many years it was tied up, in that it was Indian Lands and could not be claimed by the settlers who had moved in there. Faye in Tx.

I have some information to add to this query in addition to the Baker details already submitted. I noticed Zebediah Baker, Jr.'s wife Hannah mentioned but her family line never identified. She was Hannah Reeves, daughter of Peter Reeves and Sarah "Sally" Redden. If there is interest in more information on the Reeves line, I have this back into the 1400's. Also, some of the Baker names rang a bell. I attended a community reunion several times recently at the Christian Church in Gilbert, AR (in Searcy County) and some of the Bakers who attend there are kin to the line being described in the responses to the above query. They are history oriented and may have additional information and especially stories. I'm sorry I don't have a better contact for you. One of these individuals was a college professor in a college nearby. Joe Thurstenson Siloam Springs, AR

I received several responses to my posting on the Sooter's. I think I answered everyone. If I did miss anyone let me know. I will be happy to send the info.
