Is anyone working on ORR and POINDEXTER in Union Co., Arkansas? Evaline Langley b 1838 Union Co., Arkansas, married John Orr. Mary A. Langley b 1831 Clark Co., Indiana, married a Poindexter, who died soon after their marriage. They had a daughter, Sarah E. Poindexter, born 1858, in Ouachita Co., Arkansas. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Mary and Evaline were my great-great-grandmother's sisters. She was Elizabeth Langley Graham Willett. Thank you, Shirley

Shirley I am doing a Poindexter line who is in Camden in the early 1900's. He was married in Union County. He was G.W. POINDEXTER who married ROSIANA SMITH. His parents were J.J. and E.L. POINDEXTER. Her parents were John and Nancy Smith. HappeeNotes@aol.com wrote:Is anyone working on ORR and POINDEXTER in Union Co., Arkansas? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Emilia R. WITHERINGTON (18) married John JOHNSON (23) on 10 Feb. 1853 in Union County, AR (Marriage Book B-075). Searching for parents of EMILIA R. WITHERINGTON, born about 1834-35, probably in Conecuh County, AL. Parents of Emilia not known... could have been either James Witherington or Augustus L. (Gus) Witherington (brothers), whose families were in Union County before 1853. ... Augustus Levan 'Gus' Witherington, born 1818 (LA) and died 1869 (murdered at Moro Bay, Bradley County, AR). ... James Witherington, born 1805 (SC) and died 1849 in a hunting accident in Union County. ...James' wife was Mary King (1809-1846), who died in Conecuh County, AL before James moved to Union County, AR. Would like to share WITHERINGTON family info with any descendants/researchers of these families. Bill King LynnBillKing@pdq.net Houston, Texas

To: Gordon L. Harrison, Jr. Houston, Texas For your information..... It was the 'Dr. Buffington' that was lost on the White River in 1862 (see below message from Robert Owens). Gordon, it was Jann Woodard, jann.woodard@eudoramail.com , that I mentioned to you as the Bradley County researcher who had provided so much of the information on the murder and trial of your great grandfather, AUGUSTUS LEVAN WITHERINGTON.

Is anyone working on Langley and Graham families? Mine lived there as far back as the early 1830's; some are in the Ouachita Co. area now. Does anyone know if the William Graham, who lived in Union Co. in 1839, was the father of my John Graham born 1820, possibly in Illinois? He married Elizabeth Langley in 1840 Union Co. If so, who was John's mother? William Graham Union County, Arkansas No Township listed Arkansas 1830-1839 Tax Lists Index 1839 Tax List Page 009 Thanks, Shirley/LA
