    3. Dear List Members, It is time again for one of my information messages. First of all I want to thank each of you who go out of your way to follow the list rules. I belong to many lists in my research and truly feel you are the best list members out there. If you are enjoying this list and would like to know what other genealogical lists Rootsweb has for you, go to John Fuller's site located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html It is the best source for Genealogical mailing lists that I know of. If you would like to visit the archived messages for this list or any Rootsweb List you may go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com and type in the name of the list and from there you can search by date. There is a great Rootsweb site, Password Central, you can go to if you want to find out what Rootsweb lists you are a member of or need to unsubscribe from a list, just follow the instructions. http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ To unsubscribe from any Rootsweb list send only the word UNSUBSCRIBE to [email protected] Naturally exchange the XXXX with the name of the list and the L with a D if you are on the Digest List.

    3. Has anyone researched the Ferguson/Hise families that were in Washington County, Arkansas after the Civil War. My ancestor was Dr. Thomas Robert Ferguson born ca.1820 in Sullivan/Greene County, Indiana and died ca. 1888 either in Oklahoma or Arkansas. His probate records were in Washington Co., Arkansas beginning Jan. 1889. No record of his death or his wife, Eliza Jane. Any help in locating his/her death/burial dates greatly appreciated.

    1. [ARWASHIN] WA county postings
    2. Sorry to disagree, but I enjoyed Robert's historical tidbit. He's contributed much useful information faithfully to this list over the years I have been on it. This historical tidbit is a back-up to something I've said many times here, just in example form. When doing genealogy and family history, it's important sometimes to step back and ask what assumptions are being made about events, people, motivations by the researcher. Even more importantly, by any sources being used that are written accounts by other people, rather than primary source documents. I'm a full-time historian working on a long-term project that involves examining earlier accounts and picking them apart, looking for errors and assumptions that were never questioned. My tie to WA County is research into the Tennant family of Dutch Mills/Cane Hill. One assumption made in previous accounts of the Reverend Thomas H. Tennant, and endlessly repeated, was that he died at 114. Research by list member Bob Keen and I has shown that the Rev. Tennant himself never claimed a birthdate that would give that age at death. In record after record, his birthdate given would result in the age at death of 94. An example of historical assumptions that what has been printed must be true. Thanks Robert for a timely reminder of this important element of family research! Candace Wellman Bellingham, Washington
