Hi Listers, in POLK Co., SCOTT Co., SEVIER Co., WHITE Co and SEBASTIAN Co Arkansas............. I have a family that I'm trying to tie to my g.grandmother and I need some help PLEASE? The 1860 Polk Co Ar census on page 55 lists: Dwelling # 383; Family #377 John A. BUCKNER age 58 born Ky. Elizabeth BUCKNER age 45 born Tn. Can anyone tell me anything about them? They ar not listed in the 1870 census. I have ordered and just received the death certificate of my grandfather: Elijah Samuel RUSSELL. It lists his father as Elijah RUSSELL, which is correct and his mother as Mary Jane BUCKNER, both of Arkansas My puzzlement that I also need help with: The 1860 Polk County Ar. census on page 70 lists: Dwelling #497; Family #486 Elijah RUSSELL age 25 born Tn. Married in January Mary J. RUSSELL age 21 born Ar.????????? Married in January Here is the puzzell...................... The same census on page 81 lists them again as neighbors to his brother William: Dwelling #569; Family #558 Elijah RUSSELL age 25 born Tn. [okay] Mary RUSSELL age 19 born Tx.???????[different age and place of birth] I do understand that census data isn't much to hang your hat on but??? Still with me? Here is another one............ The Sevier County marriages lists: Elijah RUSSELL married Jan 24-1859 to Mary Jane BUCKLE??????????????? Can't figure this one........BUCKLE? or BUCKLES? or BUCKNER? and where do yo reckon that she was born and in 1839 or was it 1841? Any kind souls out there that relieve my frustration? Boy-Howdy.....I hope so. I've been at this for a long time and I can't figure it? Too old I guess? or is it, just too dumb? I appreciate your reading, Freddie B Stewart in Massachusetts
