I'm looking for information on the family of Jesse Jackson Millsaps, who was a captain in the Union Army. He is buried at Pleasant Grove Cemetery Alread Arkansas, dying in 1900, I think. He was the commanding officer of at least 2 of my ancestors, and I'd like to know if he lived in that are before the war. Jettie

Thank you to everybody who replied, here or privately, to my question about Jonas HILL, which also asked specifically about his daughter Elizabeth. Nobody I heard from seems to know what happened to her. I'm not sure that I know, either, but I have written below what I do know about one of my ancestors who just may be this same daughter of Jonas Hill. You can decide what you think about it. I would like to hear any thoughts you might have. The evidence isn't totally convincing, but maybe somebody out there will know something that never seemed important before, but now makes sense in connection with the details about my Elizabeth, that connects the two for sure. John FINCH was born about 1827 in Washington Co, Tennessee, (east TN) and grew up there. Most of his family was still there for the 1850 census, but John was not. Nothing is known for sure about his doings until December 1854 when he bought land in Carroll Co, Missouri, (central MO, along the Missouri River) in the same section where his older brother had earlier bought land. It appears others in the family made the move from TN to MO in the early 1850s as well, and by the 1860 census the whole family had moved there. That census shows John with his wife Elizabeth and three children. Their first child was born in July 1855, while their last came in Dec 1862. This Elizabeth was shown in 1860 as age 26 (so born 1834), and born in TN. Their first child born in 1855 suggests a marriage date of 1854, but there is no record of their marriage in Carroll Co MO or in Washington Co TN. John died in the War in 1865. On the 1870 census Elizabeth is listed as 34 and born in TN. For a number of reasons, I believe that the 1870 age is more accurate than the 1860 one, making her born about 1836. In 1872, Elizabeth died, which orphaned their children. Their guardian applied for a pension from the government for them, both in 1866 (which was rejected) and in 1872. The National Archives sent me nothing about the rejected 1866 application (perhaps those records were thrown away after rejection), but comments in the 1872 one make it seem as if it was rejected because they could not prove that Elizabeth was truly the wife of John (there should have been no doubt about him being eligible for a pension). The 1872 pension application states that John and Elizabeth were married in 1853 in Van Buren Co, Arkansas, and that the guardian had written to Arkansas for a proof of their marriage but was unable to get it because the records had been destroyed by fire. Also, Carroll MO Probate Court records show receipts of charges against the estate for letters written to Arkansas requesting records for proof of marriage. For the 1872 application the family hired a lawyer, who obtained affidavits from various neighbors in Carroll Co asserting that John and Elizabeth had lived together as man and wife and claimed that this was the best proof available of their marriage. Presumably, the rest of the Finches there knew nothing about Elizabeth's family, otherwise they might have requested affidavits from her Arkansas people that could have attested to her marriage. A family tree of the Finches written down in 1932 by a granddaughter of Elizabeth stated that John FINCH had married Elizabeth HILL. In the whole 1850 census, the only Elizabeth Hill, born about 1836 in TN, was the one living with Mary CASTLEBERRY in Van Buren Co, AR. On top of that, the only John Finch in the whole 1850 census, born about 1827 in TN, was (presumably) a hired hand on a farm belonging to John and Marylun Pickrum in Fulton Co, Arkansas. This all makes it very tempting to conclude a connection but, unfortunately, there are a bunch of unanswered questions behind a lot of the information above. The main problem is that each of the critical facts above is mentioned only by one source, and each of those sources is different. Moreover, none of the important sources are original records, but instead are only secondary (hearsay) sources. Nevertheless, if it is all to be believed, it does point to the Elizabeth Hill, daughter of Jonas and Mary (Barnes) Hill, as John Finch's wife. If somebody knows anything that might verify or contradict this idea, I hope they will let me know. Thank you! --- Steve Gillispie <gillisp@earthlink.net>

The records referred to in the message are on the USGenWeb Van Buren Co site. They were transcribed by me and were found on microfilm ordered from the LDS library. They are microfilm copies of the original books from the courthouse. If you want copies of them you will have to order the film from your local LDS library.

The message listed a number of Jonas's children, including his wife Mary. Specifically, it listed Claybourn and Elizabeth. In the 1850 Van Buren AR census a David and Mary CASTLEBERRY with Claburn Hill (29) and Elizabeth Hill (13) is shown in Hartsugg township. In 1860, Claborn Hill and Mary Castleberry are shown together, but no David or Elizabeth. Documents on the rootsweb site for Van Buren County show a number of records for a road being built past the widow Castleberry's place. I assume that this is the same family as in the 2005 family reunion, correct? That same rootsweb site shows that there were probate claims on the estate of Mary Castleberry in 1862-3 and that she died intestate on 3 August 1861. Since this was after the fire of 1859, I thought the county might have these records and wrote to request them. But the clerk said they had nothing until the 1870s due to a flood in the 1980s. Is this correct? So these probate records are lost? My interest is in the daughter Elizabeth Hill. If there are still any Hill researchers listening here, can they post or send me everything that is known/suspected/rumored/guessed/whatever about her?

There is a book listing 120 people and their kin who supported the 2nd Baptist Church in Scotland, Ark in 1870 for sale on e-bay. It's ridiculously priced, so no one can by it (that I know of). However, you can view the book's pages and see if your ancestor is on there. There was someone looking for a Bessie Evans, and that name is one of them. Hope this helps somebody. bj berry Item number: 150087769689 "A person should think with his heart".

Thanks Jettie, I've checked every where I can think of, I have a little news clip telling that sheriff Elliot Donnell shot a man, and Deputy Chism took over his duties, and was elected Sheriff in 1910. Elliot Donnell was married to Zorah Williams, James Aden Chism married her sister, Pearl William 1 Nov 1910 in Cleburne Co. Zorah and Pearl were daug's of Jesse Williams & Lutitia Claiborne, who came to VB Co. in 1860. and are related to most of VB/Cleburne and Faulkner counties. James apparently wasn't sheriff to long as he was in Delta Co. Tx. in Aug 1911, where my father was born. He came back to Ark in 1916, and settled in Faulkner Co. Thanks for the suggestion tho, any input is appreciated. Evelyn ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

More will be added from time to time so maybe you will find one of your ancestors marker photo there. That's been great for those too far away to see them in person.

Charlotte, Thanks for the info on the Cem book, My grandfather (James Aden Chism) was deputy sherriff of Cleburne Co. abt 1909 under his soon to be Brother-in-law, Elliott Donnell, and elected sheriff in 1910, where might I find info on that.? Thanks Evelyn ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

The listing in the cemetery books was done years ago by what was then called Home Demonstration Clubs. My understanding of this was they went through the cemetery listing all the graves etc. So later burials would not be listed.
