The newspaper for Ft. Smith, Arkansas is the /Southwest Times Record/. The Ft. Smith Public Library has the paper on microfilm. Also try their genealogy department.

Hi Charlotte, Without more information it is difficult to know absolutely that the following information is your friend or not. I did a simple check on ancestry and find a person that very well could be the person you are looking for. The 1930 census was taken on April 24th. I see a Junior Edwards, listed as being 0 years of age living in MUSE TOWNSHIP, Le Flore County, Oklahoma with his parents. Nore Edwards is the head of household age 31 (could his name have been Norman?) Costella Edwards is the wife of the HOH age 19 Daniel Edwards is the son of the HOH age 4 1/12 Bobby G Edwards is the son of HOH age 2 6/12 Junior Edwards is the son of the HOH age 3/12 Good Luck in your search! Janet PS Muse is on highway 63 ....... It is in Oklahoma but in spitting distance of Arkansas.....

the cemetery transcription you are citing for John Stinnet at Mt. Harmony Cemetery reads as follows: Stinnew, John 1796-1872 (listing from earlier transcription) (This was a rock tombstone very hard to read, may not be correct) http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~arsebast/cemetery/MtHarmony/mtharmony.html The last name is probably a typo. Richard Meador, a Find-a-grave contributor, told me awhile ago that he is in process of photographing all the headstones at this cemetery. his find-a-grave profile & email address is here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&MRid=47016709 i did a handwritten transcription of this cemetery in 2001, but i must have missed the Stinnet headstones, because they're not on my list. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~arcemete/sebastian/mtharmony.htm this transcription was done in 2005, and it appears by that time the dates were gone http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~arcemete/sebastian/mtharmonyplots.htm Find-a-grave still has a partial transcription here, but Stinnet is not listed http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=1976456&CScnty=158&CSsr=101& Charlie Ward -------------------------------------------------- From: "Mary Lee Gentry" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 10:32 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ARSEBAST] Stinnett > I have been on Ancestry many times but if you notice, none of them have a > death date or if they do it will say 1870 but no source.

I have been on Ancestry many times but if you notice, none of them have a death date or if they do it will say 1870 but no source. What I am trying to find out is there a John Stinnett born 1796 and died after the 1870 census buried in Mount Harmony Cemetery in Sebastian County? I think the Unk Stinnet buried next to him is probably his second wife Polly Carlock that he married in Illinois in 1833. Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.

Hello, My name is Mary Lee Gentry and I am new to the list. I was looking in the Sebastian County web site and found who I think is my 3rd great grandfather John Stinnett. He is listed in the Mount Harmony Cemetery listing as John Stinnew 1796-1872 but next to him is Unknown Stinnet. The last record I can find he was living in Greenwood Township, Sebastian County in 1870 census, he was 70 years old. Does anyone know anything about the Stinnett family or any records that would be there? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Probably the thing to do would be to contact the same clerk's office and find out if they have the Naturalization Application. If they do not then check with them to see if the application may have been filed through Immigration & Naturalization Services (INS). From there, if it was through INS now called U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), then you can check with them online at: <<www.immigrationdirect.com>> using the "Contact" link on the bottom of the page.

I am trying to gather information on the NYA/WPA projects that were responsible for building the Lavaca Gymnasium in 1940-41. It is a wonderful old and sturdy structure that was built by local people with a man named Measles as the supervisor. If anyone has information, worked on the building of the gym or old photos, I would love it if I could get in touch with you! Thanks!

Claim submitted April 10, 1875 by Sanborn & King, claimants attorneys Witnesses to prove loyalty: John Conway Thomas Kersey Elizabeth Melvina Conway Ashley Conway Witnesses to prove claim: Elizabeth Conway James Calvin Lewis Claimants Deposition: Part 1: From the 1st of April 1861 until July 1864 I resided on my farm in Sebastian County at that time I moved to Fort Smith and in August following I went to the State of Kansas where I remained until the close of the war. My farm consisted of 160 acres of land. About 35 acres under cultivation the balance wood land. Situated about five miles South East of Greenwood the County Seat of Sebastian County. during all this time I was engaged in farming. I went to the State of Kansas in August 1864. I went with my teams in a refugee train guarded by Federal Soldiers, we could not live here and had to go some place to get something to eat and keep from being annoyed by rebels. I remained there until the war closed when I returned to this county again. The confederates took all my cattle and one horse. I never made any pay for any thing taken. They also took Corn out of the crib & meat our of the smoke house. I was thnatcused??? on account of my Union sentiments generally by Rebel bushwhackers. They threatened to burn my house. They robbed my house and took every thing we had leaving only what we had on our backs. This was a short time before we left our house. I fed Union people and soldiers when they came about me and sent my daughter twice to Fort Smith to inform the Federals where the Rebels were that were around through the country. At the beginning of the rebellion I sympathized with the Union cause my husband was a Union man and was run off from home on that account. I am a widow. I was married in about 1835. My husband was loyal to the government all the time. My husband died in November A.D. 1864. I have six children Elizabeth Melvina Conoway 26 yrs old. James Calvin Lewis 24 yrs. Joseph W. Lewis 18 yrs old. Henrietta Allice Lewis 16 yrs old. Lavina Josephine 15 yrs old. and Oliva Evergreen Lewis 12 yrs old. none of them were in the Confederate service during the war. My husband was never in the confederate army. The crop of corn I raised myself and when my husband was run off from home he told me I could have the place and every thing and do the best I could with it. The land was originally government land and was entered and paid for in Confederate money during the war but when we came back after the war we found some one on the place and as we had no title only the one from the confederacy we never got possession of it again at the time the crop was made my children were all under age and helped me to make the crop. None of the children are interested in this claim. Part 2: Claimant being further questioned regarding property taken testifies as follows. I was present when all the articles specified in the severall items of my petitions No 11057 & 1 & 2 wer etaken and saw them all taken. Items No 1-2 & 3 of claim No 2 Item No 1 of claim No 1 was all taken at the same time by the same command. Some time about the 1st of January 1864 then came a large Federal Forage Train to my house guarded by about 40 or 50 Federal soldiers. There might have been a hundred. I know there was a good many. They came from the direction of Fort Smith Ark about twelve oclock in the day and camped about half a mile from my house on a creed that night the following morning they came back to my house and drove the wagons to the corn cribs. which were about thirty yards from the house and loaded some 12 or 14 wagons full. I think the wagons would hold twenty bushels each. I had in the smoke house about 15 steps from the house about 1500 # of salt pork they took from the smoke house carried it out and loaded on the wagons as much as 1000# of the salt pork and bacon together. They also killed five tolerable large hogs that would weigh about 150# each which they loaded on top of the wagons loaded with corn and hauled the corn bacon. salt pork and hogs off in the direction of Fort Smith Ark. Corn at that time was worth $1.00 pr bushel. The salted pork and bacon was worth about 15 cts. pr pound. There was present at the taking. Elizabeth Melvina Lewis my daughter and my son James Calvin Lewis. (and my husband now dead) and Dr. Chapman is all I think of now there might have been commissioned officers along but I dont know. My husband asked them by what authority they took the articles. They said they were sent out foraging. he asked them for receipts for what they had taken to which they replied for him to come to Fort Smith and prove his loyalty and he would get pay for what they had taken. I know that he never got any voucher receipt or pay for any of the articles specified in the several items of claim No. 1 & 2. Item No. 3. of claim No - 2 - the hogs were worth at least $10.00 pr head Items No 1 & 2 of claim No 11057 was taken at the same time by the same command. There came out a Federal Train from Fort Smith to move in the people about through the county. They camped at my house and eat up nearly all we had. and turned their mules and horses into a field of corn 14 acres both citizens and soldiers and eat up the whole field of corn and during the time they were camped then burnt about 1/4 mile of rail fence suppose them must have been about one thousand rails. This was about the last of July 1864. The field of corn had been well tended and was good corn just in good roasting ears. There was a great many citizens present. Elisha Bradshaw, Chas Cagle, Ashley Conway and a great many others. Neither myself or my husband during his lifetime ever made any pay for any of the articles specified in the several items of my claim. No. 11057 and 1 & 2 Her Margaret X Lewis Mark Sworn and subscribed to before me this 12th day of October A.D. 1872 W. A. Harris Spl. Comisr Deposition of Elizabeth Melvina Conway who being duly sworn to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Testifies as follow. I am 25 years of age. reside in Sebastian County Ark. and by occupation a house keeper. I am Daughter of claimant have no direct interest in this claim. I was present when items Nos 1-2 and 3 of claim No 2 and item No 1 of claim No 1 and items Nos 1 & 2 of claim No 11057 were all taken and saw them all taken. I saw the corn pork - hogs field of 15 acres of corn and rails taken. Items nos 1-2 & 3 of claim No. 2 and item No 1 of claim No 1 was all taken at the same time by the same command. Some time about the first days of January 1864 there came along by claimants house and camped over night about 60 yds from the house a Federal Forage train of some 40-50 wagons. Guarded by about 125 federal soldiers in command of a Captain whose name I dont remember they came about three oclock in the evening and left the following morning when the sun was about an hour high. After they came in the evening they loaded thirteen wagons with corn. I dont know how much they would hold to the wagon but they were loaded full. The corn was in a crib or rails pens 50 or 40 yds from the house and when they left they hauled the corn in the direction of Fort Smith Ark. They also took from the smoke house some 15 yds from the house a large quantity of salt pork and bacon. I think about 1000# in all taken. which they loaded on the wagons that were already loaded with corn and hauled it in the direction of Fort Smith. this item No.2 was taken at the same time and by the same command as item 1 of claim No 1 and item No 1 of claim No 2 Item No. 3 was some 5 or 6 head of fat hogs which was killed an either eat then or hauled of in the direction of Fort Smith at the same time and by the same command as items Nos 1 & 2 of claim No 2 and item No 1 of claim No 1. There was present at the taking others than soldiers none but our own family that I remember of now. My Father (now dead). Mother three sisters and two brothers. I cant now remember anything that was said at the time of the taking. Items No1 and 2 of claim No was taken some time in the summer of 1864 -- Susan Kimes Burgess Fremont, CA [email protected] http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=burgess_kimes&I11.x=34&I11.y=2 http://picasaweb.google.com/suekbee
