    3. From: "John Greenwood" <lumberj@gte.net> >I am researching the GREENWOOD and MCHENRY families who were in >Hillsboro and Eldorado in the 1800s. Any information would be >appreciated especially the burial sites of Dr. Oliver P. GREENWOOD and >Dr. Robert W. MCHENRY. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - John, The following info came from the cemetery books of Union Co.: Warner Brown Cemetery Located at First Methodist Church, corner of East Cedar and South Hill, El Dorado, AR. These graves were disturbed by the church taking part of the cemetery and building over cemetery in 1956. GREENWOOD Jasper d. Dec 1, 1873, age 13 days Kate d. Aug 25, 1872, age 7 yrs 7 mo 27 days Martha d. Aug 25, 1873, age 1 yr 7 mo 16 days Oliver P. d. Mar 25, 1872, age 2 yrs 9 mo 23 days All children of Dr. O.P. and N.L. Greenwood There were no other Greenwoods listed in the cemetery books which have been updated in the last five years or so. I found this in the "Confederate Soldiers Buried in Arkansas" by Rena Marie Knight Dr. C.P. (O.P.?) Greenwood - Methodist Cem. - Union Co. It didn't list any unit, company, or personal bio information. I looked up Greenwoods in the Confederate Soldiers and Widows Pension Index for Arkansas. No luck there. I called First Methodist Church to ask about old cemetery records hoping that had records of unmarked graves. No luck. They directed me to a gentleman who had just completed a survey of all the Methodist churches and associated graveyards in Union Co. I spoke to him and he had no information on any Greenwoods except for the above four children. I'm guessing that with the Confederate burial information that someone put two and two together incorrectly and figured the Oliver P. buried in the church cemetery was the father instead of the infant son. I could find no listing of a burial place for Dr. Robert McHenry. I know this doesn't find the two burial places you seek, but I did want to pass on the info I had found. April Hoover
