found location of Black Cemetery in Sharp County at USGS map site http://geocities.com/hornyg31 http://geocities.com/hornyg31 > National Mapping Information Ken Black Olympia, WA "Lord please make me the kind of person my dog thinks I am."

The book "Cemetery & Burial Sites or Randolph County" by Margaret A. Barnhart describes the D.C. Black cemetery. Location is one mile North of Blacks Ferry road and one quarter East of Eleven Point River. The book and recent visitors indicate that only about 4 or 5 stone enscriptions can be read. One being D.C. Black. They also indicated there are many stone slab covered graves. The site is now on private property. I suspect that my GGGgrandparents and some members of their family are buried there.

HI, I am brand new to the list and I am looking for an old friend of mine. Her Father was Benton Jones and Her Mother was Gladys Jones. They moved to Arkansas in the early 1970's and I believe they settled in Hardy. She had a brother named Johnny and her name was Terry Jones. She married Johnny Shamel. She had sons that had an abnormal growth disorder. If anyone knows this family please tell them that Debbie Phillips is interested in having contact. Thanks ~Debbie In McLean County, Illinois~

Does any one have any information Wagner Tom I have not found any thing on this man. Tom is my ggrandfather. Thank you for any help you can give. anne gibson wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Beverly McDonald <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 12:52 AM > Subject: Re: [ARSHARP] LeMieux > > > Thanks for the great site, it has added even more about this > > family.Sue > > Sincerely, An iPhone User > > > > > > ==== ARSHARP Mailing List ==== > > NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, > political > > announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, > > etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for > removal. > > Consideration for exceptions, contact Kathleen Burnett > [email protected] > > To learn more about my world visit http://dwp.bigplanet.com/kburnett > > Arkansas Cemeteries Volunteer Website > http://www.rootsweb.com/~arcemete/arcem.htm > > > > ============================== > > Add as many as 10 Good Years To Your Life > > If you know how to reduce these risks. > > http://www.thirdage.com/health/wecare/hearthealth/index.html > > > > > > ==== ARSHARP Mailing List ==== > If you wish to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the Sharp Co., AR list, use > [email protected] or [email protected] if > you are on the Digest list. > To learn more about my world visit http://dwp.bigplanet.com/kburnett > Arkansas Cemeteries Volunteer Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~arcemete/arcem.htm > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.

Out of curiosity... My gg-grandmother, Martha Jane Taylor (m. Phillip Addison Howard, then William Albert Wallis), b. 6 March 1858, d. 1910, was also in this area. My problem is that I've not been able to locate her parents...does her name ring a bell with anyone? Thanks in advance...

If you are interested in taking over the AR-Cemeteries and Volunteers webpage now located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arcemete/arcem.htm or know someone who might be interested, please let me know.

She is trying to take care of to many of sites, OK-Cemeteries, MO-Cemeteries and AR-Cemeteries plus additional Oklahoma and Arkansas sites.

Gary, The church may have been around Evening Shade/Kings Mill area. My ggg-great grandparents lived and died in that area but I can't find where they are buried. My ggg-great grandmother's obituary states she was a member of the M. E. Church and that she died in 1889. Their names: Alfred L. Sloan, Jane Sloan. Thanks, Debbie

We were at the Ash Flat courthouse less than a year ago and had no problem getting copies of the old records. We were trying to fine the old Earls cemetery in the area but had no luck. We must have hit it on a good day ha ha. Larry

Hershel & Nancy, Don't rule out the Library at Hardy. It may be small but it has some good books to help you out. That is where I found Joyce Hambilton Whitten's book on Sharp Co. Marriages. And it has other info as well. Worth a look I would say. Good luck.
