This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AW.2ADE/806.1 Message Board Post: Hello Christine, My name is Gary Telford and I write a column In the Woodruff County Monitor newspaper each week called "Family Roots". It is the history of Woodruff County, Arkansas and the famlies who have lived and died here. I checked my files when I saw your query posted on the Woodruff County Board. This is what I have. There is some conflicting information on your Clayton Moses Helm as to his name. It has also been listed as Moseby Clayton Helm, and I believe this is correct. He was born September 28, 1877 in Independence Co., AR and was the son of Piney Black Helm, born January 8, 1849 in Paducah, McCracken Co., KY and wife, Julia Elizabeth Maxwell, born September 27, 1849 in Washington, MO. Julia was the daughter of Nelson and Mary Ann Clark Maxwell Piney Black Helm and Julia were married April 30, 1871. Piney Black Helm died December 18, 1931 in Lonoke, Lonoke Co., AR and is buried in the Concord Cemetery. Julia died February 21, 1892 in Independence Co., AR and is buried in the Alderbrook Cemetery, Greenbrier Twp. Clayton Moses or Moseby Clayton Helm was the third child of eight. He died May 19, 1911 at Pleasant Plains, Independence Co., AR and is buried in the Locust Grove Cemetery. His wife Vernetta "Nettie" Jane Jones Helm was born October 24, 1880 at Locust Grove, Independence Co.,! AR. After the death of Moseby Clayton Helm, Vernetta married Dr.Louis Fred Frye, born February 19, 1884 and died December 28, 1954 in Searcy, White Co., AR and is buried in the Shady Grove Cemetery at Bald Knob, White Co., AR. Vernetta died December 3, 1959 in White Co., AR and is buried at Shady Grove Cemetery, Bald Knob, White Co., AR. They married June 25, 1906 in Pleasant Plains, AR. Vernette "Nettie" Jane Jones was the daughter of Newton Alexander and Mary Jane Barton Jones. Newton Alexander Jones was the eleventh child born to James Smith Jones and Lavina Smith, daughter of Levi Smith. James Smith Jones was born April 4, 1810 in South Carolina and married Lavina Smith on February 7, 1835. James died November 1857 in Gibson Co., TN and Lavinia died November 20, 1887 in Independence Co., AR. They had 13 children. After the death of James Smith Jones Lavinia married Thomas Williamson. Newton Alexander Jones was also married to Tennessee "Tennie" A. Gentry, born July 15, 1870 in Tennessee and died December 18, 1928 in Independence Co., AR. Hope this helps you and if I can help you with anything else, just let me know. Best regards, Gary Telford Family Roots Woodruff County Monitor McCrory, AR 72101

Family members often hold the keys to our ancestry, and the opportunity to interview living relatives is too often neglected. "Ask Grandma," a program focusing on the art of conducting interviews with family members and acquaintances, will be presented by Wanda Ridge at the Tri-County Genealogy Society meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday, January 11. The meetings are held at the genealogy library in Marvell and guests are welcome.

I have been wanting to find information on Clifton Stanley Holmes but have had no luck. I know that James and Mary Holmes were in Woodruff County in the 1880 census listed with seven children of which one was Clifton born about 1872 in Alabama. The census list the surname as "Homes". They were in the Caney Twp., Woodruff Co., AR. The cemetery that you mentioned is recorded as the Penrose (Aka Holmes, Fair Oaks) Cemetery. It is located two miles south of Fair Oaks and north of Penrose one and one half miles on the west side of Highway 19. The only Holmes I found listed were as follows; Holmes, Rovell, son of C. S. and Grace B: August 29, 1910 D: June 14, 1916 Holmes, Harold, son of C. S. and Grace B: June 20, 1918 D: October 11, 1919 I would like to have your information on James and Mary Holmes and their children and also the information on Clifton Stanley Holmes, his wife and children. If you have other members of the family who are buried in this cemetery, I would like this information also. Thank you in advance, looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Gary Telford Family Roots Woodruff County Monitor

Does anyone know about my Eason ancestors???? Charles Alfred Eason (b1899) married to Lillian Inez Eason (b 1911) were my parents. Father of Charles was George Eason, father of George was Alfred, father of Alfred was Joseph. I know that Joseph and a brother, I believe Thomas, came to Woodruff County AR from Tennessee, and originally from NC. I know that George died when my dad Charles was young, supposedly in a gunfight in a saloon. I am looking for cemetery records, marriage records, or hearsay. I especially enjoy stories about the Easons, as it seems they were a colorful lot. Thanks Donna Eason Harwood The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.  Donna

Hi Gary - Sorry I haven't gotten much done - one of my cats died Dec 18, another cousin died Dec 30, and then my oldest cat, that I'd have for over 18 years, died yesterday. I've had a run of family and kitties passing on - plus taking James Milton Huff's dogs to see if I can find a home for them. But I haven't forgotten your web info, it's still on my agenda! Just wanted to be in touch - Gloria
