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

I am quite familiar with the USGENWEB project which has just recently split from RootsWeb when Ancestry.com bought the website and made it part of Ancestry. I have been researching just about all the southern Alabama using the county & State GENWEB sites and recently found the USENWEB Archives (pre gobbled up RootsWeb) which has a considerable amount of information in "Cold Storage" on USGENWEBARCHIVES.com which includes quite a lot of old cemetery listings. I have also exhausted the Sebastian County ArGenWeb availability. However, it is the most recent information, 1900-today, that very few web sites are allowed to carry that we are looking for and especially "KENFOLK" to really fill out the database.

I have recently discovered a connection that put several BATES families of Sebastian Co into my Bates Family ancestry. We are looking for information on John C. BATES; born about 1825 in York Co, SC with brief sojourn in Carroll, Madison Co, Tn and Obion Co, Tn before moving to Arkansas to be near his brothers, Robert Ellis BATES, Thomas Jefferson BATES, and William J. BATES who had possibly moved here with their mother after their father's death. All the younger boys may have stayed in Johnson Co, Ar for a short period as one them was married there before being found in Sebastian Co. John was married to cecilia CHAPLIN in Obion Co, Tn and she dies in Sebastian Co in 1880. He marries Martha A.

John had four daughters, Ellen, Francis M, Nancy E, and Tigette but we only have information on Tigette and looking for information on the other three particularly whom they married. There is another brother, Zachariah M. Bates, whom is reputed to have come to Arkansas but I have not located him anywhere at this time.

Depending on their residence, it wouldn't hurt to actually write the courthouse and ask. I've found both courthouses to be very genealogist-friendly.

My G Grandparents & Grandparents on my dad's side both married in Sebastian Co,Ark. My G Grandparents Moses Vandever LEWIS & Sarah Catharine RHOADS married in 1855 Sebastian Co,Ark. In his pension papers he says the courthouse burned,so he couldn't get a copy of their license,so I don't know if they filled out an application. My Grandparents, Isaac Vandever LEWIS & Anna Belle COLLIER married in 1902 Sebastian Co,Ark & they had an application,marriage bond,etc. Karen Dougherty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Wood" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 6:53 PM Subject: [ARSEBAST] Marriage licence application question > My ggp were married in Sebastian co. in 1879, and I have a copy of the license.

I am researching my ggp Frank Shafer and Mary Lou Melchor, married in Sebastian Co.  Dec. 12, 1879. I have a copy of the marriage license. Would there have been an application, bond, etc. at that time?   Linda Wood.

My ggp were married in Sebastian co. in 1879, and I have a copy of the license. Does anyone know whether there would have been an application filed for the license. I'm hoping to find more information on them.
