Thanks James for coming to her aid. I was unsure as to anything that early. I know in your book Shooten's you have a number of obits for the area but of course for a later time frame. Thanks again from all of us on the Searcy Co.List.

Obituaries as early as 1850-1860, even up to the 1910's, in Arkansas are rare. If someone was VERY prominent, or died under unusual circumstances, there might be a notice in the press. For Searcy County, it would probably be in a Little Rock paper: Arkansas Gazette or True Deomocrat. A slightly better choice might be in a Masonic publication, but, again, notices for that early are almost non-existant.

For the time period of 1850-1860, where would I look for an obituary notice? In what news papers? Sandra Howard

Hi Listmembers -- I would like to request a marriage lookup for Joseph Wesley Carlock to Dora Adaline ? or anyone else. The years would be between 1900 - 1910 maybe 1908. The most likely counties are Conway, Pope & Yell but any county around these is a possibility. I would really like to determine if there was a fourth marriage that I have overlooked. I received a death certificate that is not mine. Hazel R Booth born 7/6/1885 in Selma Tenn d 1/13/1933 in Searcy White county. If someone can prove relationship to her I will send the death certificate to them. Thanks to all of you for your help.

This may be your King CHANDLER, not with a Sarah however. In the 1870 Searcy Co. AR Census the family is listed: 70-70 Wiley's Cove Township CHANDLER, King age 50 , farmer, KY Manerva A.D. 43 , Keeping house, AL Francis Milton 16 male, attending school, AR Elisabeth 14, attending school, AR Dulcena 12 attending school, AR Cynthia 10 attending school, AR Josiah 8, attending school, AR Richmon 3 male, AR Victory 1 female AR CLAYTON, Josephine, write, 13, at home AR Nancy 16, attending school, AR Loretta 8, attending school, AR William H. 6, attending school, AR Not sure why this CLAYTON's are living with the Chandler family, maybe she had been married before or raising another family members children. If she had been married before then, all of these children don't belong to Manerva.

Still working on the family of Robert and Cinthia Adams. Sarah Adams married King Solomon Chandler. They are in the 1850 Van Buren County census with a four year old son Joseph. I believe they were back in Searcy County by 1860. Is there anyone with a 1860 Searcy County census who can look up this family. I just need the names and ages of all the children. Thanks Judy

I came across this in some papers given to me--it's from the Marshall Mountain Wave, November 11, 1911 (11-11-11!!) P.H. Smyth died at his home in Marshall last Sunday afternoon after a short illness. He had been in tolerably bad health for some time, but had been able to be about until 3 or 4 days before his death. The remains were interred in the Marshall Cemetery at ten o'clock Tuesday morning in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. The Masons attended in a body and went through with their burial rites. P.H. Smyth was born in Weakley County, West Tennessee on November 18, 1838 and would have been 73 years old had he lived until the 18th of this November. He was married in 1958 to Mary W. Nowlin, who survives him. To this union were born 14 children, eight or whom are still living. S.M., R.S., Mrs. Florence Holder, and R.C. live in and near Marshall; P.W. and C.W. live at Maud, OK; P.H. at Seminole, OK; and Mrs. Belle Thomas at Frisco, OK. "Uncle Pink" as he was familiarly known, came to Lonoke, now Prairie County in 1870. From there he moved to Boone Co. in 1874, and in the fall of the same year moved to Searcy County. For many years he resided on Bear Creek, moving to Marshall only a short time ago. He was a Confederate soldier and was wounded at the battle of Shiloh. He had been a farmer all his life and had made a comfortable living. He was a Royal Arch Mason. Being of kind and cheerful disposition, he had many friends, who sympathize with the immediate relatives on acount of the death of this good old man. A Card of Thanks--Marshall, AR Nov. 6: We desire to thank the people of Marshall and viciinity for their kindness, hospitality, courteous and generous treatment during the serious illness of our husband, father and friend. Respectfully, Mrs. P.H. Smyth and Family >From 9-23-1911 issue of Wave: Mr. and Mrs. P.H. Smyth moved this week from their old homestead on Lower Bear Creer an are comfortably domiciled in the residence of their son, R.S. Smyth, near the high school building. (Pinkney H. Smyth was my husband's gr gr grandfather. His son, Sam, was his gr grandfather, and his daughter Bertha Smyth was his grandmother........)

In "The Arkansas Gaxette" of January 16, 1880, p. 8, c. 3/4: The community [Calf Creek] is also thrown into great excitement over the death of L. S. Brewer, at the hands of W. J. Clemons, who is now at large. The cause of the trouble grew out of a quarrel concerning whisky traffic, in which it seems that Brewer was underselling Mr. Clemons, which he (Clemons) took offense at. They had been partners for years in the mercantile business, but at the time of which I speak, Clemons was running a distillery, and, being called upon by Brewer, in the course of the conversation a dispute arose, then a difficulty, in which Brewer was shot, and mortally wounded, by Clemons. R. A. J. Lewis S. Brewer was born 1832 in Wayne County, Tennessee. He married first Martha J. Hensley and second Missouri Hodge Birks. He was the father of: Nancy, Lawrence, Millard, Lewis, Emaline M., John J. & Chloe.

My 2nd great-grandfather is William J Clemans although he spelling of his last name has been listed as Clemons, Clemmons, Clemments, Clemans, and Clemmans. He is listed on the 1870 Census as being in Calf Creek, Searcy County. I know he had a daughter named Lillian in 1875 with his wife Isobel. He left Arkansas in 1880 by wagon train with his family to Washington State. I was told he left because he killed his father-in-law. Does anyone know anything about this? Does anyone have information on his wife's family? Thanks, Jill M. Cordone

Would anyone happen to have these folks, Trying to fit some pieces of my puzzle together. Recently obtained A dawes Indian Application for Malinda Martin (daughter of James Martin and Isobel Melton) The packet contains a 2nd affidavit connected to Malinda. C.L ( Cornelius) Martin Father Ezekial Martin Wife Nancy I now know that this Nancy is the daughter of James Melton and Permillia Scooter. Would like to know how C.L Martin ties in with Malinda Martin. I have sent for the military records for Ezekial. C.L. Martin cannot be a sibling of Malinda. It seems that this Ezekial Martin and James Martin tie together somehow. Ezekials father is Hunting Jim Martin a Cherokee. The records confirm this. Sandra Howard
