    2. cora miller
    3. I am looking for possible sale of land that belonged to my ggrandfather. He purchased in 1903-1905 (hard to read) a tract of land (40 acres) from Harrison land offison in Harrison ark. according to census record for 1910 he lived " Kentucky/newton county ark.) However I can not seem to find him after he purchased the land. I have the description of land but have no idea where it is. I am not sure what twp.ranges etc mean when reading them I know twp stands for township but I mean the numbers. anyway his name was William L. (W.L. ) tOWNSLEY b. 1848 Ga. would like to know where he went after purchasing land. His wife is in 1910 census for Oklahoma as a "widow" but Arkansas and oklahoma both say they have no death record. We do not have a death date or actual place on him. If I could locate when land was sold perhaps it would tell me approximately when he died. I think it was around 1908-1909 in Oklahoma We found a tombstone (hard to read but a "W" is legible on it ) The stone is next to his wifeabout 5 years before she died in 1916 we suspect this is him as his tiny stilborn daughter is next to him (he is in middle) Dau died Aug 1908 Wife died 1916 but is on 1910 census as widow. perhaps he died in Ark and they move him to oklahoma for buriel. Thanks for help or suggestions cora miller
