Hello list, I just returned from Washington County Arkansas. I toured the Shiloh Museum and ordered some pictures of my family. I recommend the Museum to all who venture out to NW Arkansas for family research. Excellent displays and friendly staff. Also stopped by the Fayetteville Library which is full of genealogical surprises. I visited the Winslow Library. It has a small corner of local interest but provided me with some family history. The staff there was also helpful and friendly. I stayed at a small B&B not far from Winslow Called Sky-vue lodge. It was the perfect spot for research of cemeteries in the Brentwood, West Fork, Crawford County and Boston Mountain areas. It's a safe place for a women to stay with beautiful views of the Boston Mountains and a hot country breakfast. Cyndi Hutchens

Hope you avoided the chiggers. Looks like I brought some to Oregon, but it is responding to treatment.

Cyndi, My book on Post Masters in Washington County shows Thomas J. Bell as Postmaster of Brentwood in 1897 and the next postmaster in 1889. It is likely he was postmaster in 1887 and 1888. Hope this helps. Jim Bassett

I would like to contact anyone who knows about rules and laws pertaining to old cemeteries in Washington Co. Cyndi Hutchens

Is there a list of Postmasters for the Washington Co. area. I am looking for info on Thomas J. Bell said to be a postmaster in Brentwood. Cyndi Hutchens

In Washington County Postmasters and Post Offices, 1829-1976 by Deane G. Carter, Thomas J. Bell is listed as postmaster of Brentwood in 1887. Susan Young Shiloh Museum of Ozark History Springdale, AR

I had Rosanna's (dtr of Isacc & Katherine Marrs) husband as being Levi West. I had a list of children but they are too early for yours. This was just a note in my files, I have no record of where I got it or if it is accurate. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 11:26 AM Subject: [ARWASHIN] RUNNELS, WEST, MARRS > > Looking for information on John Runnels and Mary West in Arkansas.

E.C., Your Marrs line is likely out of Virginia. My Shannon line enters Penn., and then migrates into Giles Co., Va, where the Marrs line enters the family. After the Revolutionary War, they go into Davidson Co.,Tnn., and along the Ky.,-Tnn., border thence upriver to Crystal Hill, Ark., and on into Washington Co., Ark. I hope this is some help.

Hello List, It is cruel and unusual punishment to mention a web site that contains no information and for that error I sincerely appologize!

I have 2 different marriage licenses from 1885 in Washington Co., AR that are signed "R.M. Wood" with M.G. under his/her name. Does anyone have any information about him or his family? I believe he may be part of my family but the above is all that I have on him. Eulimma in CA

The morrow's you note are my family. George Morrow and Elizabeth Buchanan are my gg-grandparents. I only have Hugh Simpson in my file, no parents for him, but many Simpsons who married into the Marrs and Edmiston families. If I can answer any other questions please let me know. If you have any information for me I hope you will share it. Thank you. Carol Morrow Besette [email protected] Researching: Morrow, Cole, Edmiston, Comstock families in Washington County AR.

OOPS.........another Morrow/Rinehart marriage I missed the 1st and 2nd time. Lavania King had a sister Alice who married a Lee Rinehart. Again Lavania and Alice were dtrs of John King and Sarah Francis Morrow, Granddaughters of John and Mariah Cox Morrow. Carol Morrow Besette [email protected] Researching: Morrow, Cole, Edmiston, Comstock families in Washington County AR. Besette and Daniel families everywhere else.

I also have a Lavenia King, granddaughter to my gg-uncle John Morrow that married a Lafayette Rinehart. In my last note I mistakenly noted that Martha Morrow Hodges was a sister to my gg-grandfather, sorry, she was another daughter to my gg-uncle John Morrow. I guess the 4am is telling on my mind!!

I have Martha Lee Hodges, born 1865 to Howell and Martha Jane Morrow Hodges at Cove Creek Community, Wash Co AR. Martha Morrow Hodges was a sister to my gg-grandfather George Morrow. I have an extensive file on her if you would like it. I'm pretty sure this would be the Martha Hodges married into the Reinhart family. Could you send me some dates and maybe we can verify this? Thanks Carol Morrow Besette [email protected] Researching: Morrow, Cole, Edmiston, Comstock families in Washington County AR. Besette and Daniel families everywhere else.

Eulimma, Are you connected with the Harveys of Washington Co., AR? There was a family living in the area of Johnson in the early 1900's. Some married into the Bookout Family. I would like more info. Melinda in CA [email protected]
