Have done as much searching as I can here at home. Some of this may be of help to you. The only Samuel Brown I find in Searcy Co is Samuel U. Brown b AR 1861. He is living with the John A Moore family in Tomahawk Township, Searcy Co. AR in 1880 and is single. JOEL NEWTON REEVES (son of Asa & Charity [Baker] Reeves) b Searcy Co. AR 1855 m Searcy Co. AR bef 1880 Emeline E. ___ b Searcy Co. AR 1858. In Calf Creek Township, Searcy Co. AR 1880 with no children. Searcy Co. 1870 census - Tomahawk Township: Joshua Stills 38 KY. Mary 41 wife TN [prob 2nd wife] Milley 70 mother KY blind. William F 19 son AR. Joshua W 15 son AR. SARAH F 11 dau AR. Francis M 3 son AR. Jasper Reeves [son of Asa & Charity {Baker} Reeves] 21 s-in-l AR. Mary Jane [Stills] 17 wife AR. Married Sep 1869. Jasper Reeves & Joel Newton Reeves are brothers. Mary Jane Stills & Sarah F Stills are sisters. The Joshua Stills family is not in Searcy Co nor in Marion Co in 1880. And I find no listing for a Samuel & Sarah Brown in Searcy Co in 1880. I find only one James Turner in Searcy Co in 1880 - he's 8, b MO, son of Jess & Margaret C (___) Turner. There are no Turners in Marion Co in 1880. I'm guessing that Joel Newton Reeves' wife, Emeline, died before 1890 when he presumably married Sarah (Stills) (Brown) Turner. If some more of this blasted ice will melt tomorrow, I *might* get to the library and get some research done that I can't do here at home. If so, I'll see what I can find there for you. Haven't been off the farm since the Friday before Christmas. The larder is showing some truly bare spots that must needs be filled so I really should try to get out tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay? Meantime, hope some of this is useful.
