Is there any taxlist/local census or whatever that might fill in a gap? I know that my Stone line was in Blount Co AL for their 1866 local census. I know that I have found them in Searcy and Boone cos for 1870-80 cen. We all know that the 1890 census was burned or water destroyed in the fire. BLM tells me that ggpa William P Stone homesteaded in Searcy and took title to land in 1894. (his brothers: Wesley, James & Francis: father was Wiley) I find him in 1900 on the IT census with the remainder of his large family. I find his girls married Hancock sons: John m. Mary Etta and James m. Martha. (Mary Etta and John in Bellfonte..Boone ..1881) Lore says that W P Stone and the elder Hancock were neighbors along the Buffalo while farming in Searcy. So back to the first question, what local source(s) might be useful to check for the period 1880-1 894 when the homestead records exists? ron
There is the Bobbie Mays "1890 Searcy County, Arkansas Personal Property Tax Book" now out of print. It has C R Stone in Tomahawk; W P Stone in St Joe, C T Stone in Calf Creek.
