There was a place called Lane's Ferry or Lane's Landing and then until around 1970 there was a Lane, TN. J.L. Lane was injured in Civil War, married Harriet Blankenship (from near Union City, TN) and moved with her and her mother to Prairie Grove, AR in 1871. He died there that same year but his son was born a few months later and named the same. I would be interesting in knowing the route they took. G. Connors

If possible can someone forward me the probate info on Hosea ANTHONY? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance. Carla

Johanna, According to Woodruff County, Arkansas Loose Probate Records 1862-1900 abstracted by Marion Stark Craig, MD, Edited by Desmond Walls Allen on page 23; Drawer 2, Folio 70, Roll 25, re: Mary Cummins it states; "Mary died 12 August 1880 according to a bill for her coffin. On 7 October 1880, Charles French was appointed guardian of Beedee, William and Loni (or Leni) Cummins, minors and heirs of Mary Cummins, deceased on 25 October 1880. Bedy (signed with an X) told the court she was a minor over age 14 and an heir-at-law of Mary Cummins, deceased and asked the court to make John W. Lee her guardian. At the July 1883 term, Beedee Johnston (formerly Cummins), wife of J. L. Johnston, told the court she was over age 18 and due a 1/3 part of the estate left by her mother, Mary Cummins. On one receipt in this folio, Charles French is identified as the "guardian of the heirs of William Cummins, deceased"____ this is the only mention in this folio of William Cummins." There is no other reference to John W. Lee in the book. I hope this information proves helpful in your search. Sincerely, Jeannie Stephenson Stinson

Surnames: BALL, BROOKS, TAYLOR, RUTHERFORD******** Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AW.2ADE/500.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello. I am responding to your George Taylor, Woodruff Co.AR The (Rutherfords in McCrory) around late 1800's or earley 1900's were somehow related to me. I have hit a dead end every way I've turned. My GGF was Mace Rutherford, b 1858 AL, his son's Jimmy, Zelmer & Romer. Their father Mace Rutherford was brother of Matilda Rutherford (TAYLOR). She married Henry Taylor, Marshall Co. AL and they & their children moved to MCCrory AR. Lucy Taylor married a BALL I remember Grandpa telling me that. Grandpa Romer Rutherford was dumped off in McCrory after his mother died (Mandy from the Netherlands) along with his brothers to be raised by Matilda Rutherford TAYLOR, Henry Taylors wife. Grandpa ended up living with a Tobe BROOKS there on a cattle ranch I believe. When Grandpa was around 12yrs old he left out on his own & worked farm to farm in AR. Eventually he went back to McCrory for a while. ***Do you know anything about these Rutherfords** or can you find out anything. I don't even know Mace Rutherford's parents names. Grandpa Romer was born in Marshall Co. AL or Morgan Co. and Mace there too or Maybe Blount Co. AL. I know hardly nothing about them and Grandpa Romer said he did not see Mace, (his father) again until he was grown. Thanks, Pam
