Armed with her recently obtained Pope county map, Marinda Holliman, informed me that Sweet Asa Watt's homestead and family graveyard is not in Searcy county as we'd thought but right across the border in Pope County off Hwy 16 on Wildrose Ln near Nogo. I have no land records for Sweet Asa but I'll tell you what I found in the census records: 1870 Searcy county census Campbell township p.20 -- Sweet Asa is listed in the household of his parents James Albert Watts & Elizabeth Begley. 1880 Searcy county census Town of Marshall p.28 -- Sweet Asa is listed with his wife Martha Jane Kessner and his older brother John Wesley. 1890 Searcy county personal property tax book -- it lists an Asa Watts in the Bear Creek township 1900 Searcy county Wiley Cove township -- Sweet Asa is listed with his wife and ALL of his children from Nevada the oldest to Jewel the youngest 1910 Searcy county census--history commission doesn't have a copy so I don't know if Sweet is listed 1910 POPE county census Smyrna township p. 168 -- Hulous Watts (Sweet's son) age 24 is listed and on page 179b a Zillaker A. Watts age 43 Jackson township is listed ( I don't know who Zillaker's family is) 1920 Searcy county census -- history commission doesn't have a copy 1920 POPE county census as listed on rootsweb (ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/pope/census/1920w.txt) -- lists Watts, Asa 207b Blaine 207b Hulous 207b It doesn't tell the township and I find it odd that Sweet's sons Blaine and Hulous are listed but no daughters or wife are listed......I know that Sweet's wife Martha Jane Kessner died before he did and is buried in a marked grave on the homestead in Pope county as are his oldest daughter Nevada and her husband Charles Absolom "Abby" Ragland. Is there anyway I can get a land deed on the property in Pope county without going to the courthouse in Russellville??? And does anyone know who Zillaker Watts is? Does anyone know if this small family graveyard is listed in the Pope county cemetery books? I'm not on the Pope county listserv so if anyone from Pope county wants to reply to this e-mail please send your response to mitchkelly@hotmail.com Kelly Mitchell _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
