Your post is curious to me as my family the Mardis' lived in White County - in fact today received pictures of some headstones of Mardis' in the Coffeyville Cemetery. My grandfather was Thomas Jefferson (born 1867 in IL but the family moved to AR soon after. He married Henrie Louise Eggers Jan 2 1895 in Grand Glaze, Jackson Co., AR. while his brother Augustus married Cora Sanders on the same day. Have you heard of these names? Tommie Hosier
