Ar Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell?read=266 Surname: Coker ------------------------- Seeking any information regarding the Henry and Cora Davis Coker family of Plainview, Yell County. Family also lived in Ola and near Birta early in this century

I have a gggrandmother named Caroline Jackson born abt 1835 in Yell Co AR. Her father was Robert Jackson, born abt 1809 in TN. I don't know the mother's name, family legend has it that she was a Native American. Another relative had done some research over twenty years ago, and it is summarized in a submission to http://www.familysearch.org. She shows Robert's parent's being a David Jackson and Ann Bowen, both from Tennessee. However, I have seen other listings showing Robert's parents being a Graham Jackson, who lived in the same area. I haven't been able to confirm who the real parents are or locate any primary documentation. However, other entries in familysearch.org shows a David "tobe" Jackson, and 'Ann, or 'Anney', or 'Anne Bowen, being born and married in TN about the same time as the one my relatives identified as Robert's parents. I suspect they are the same, and Anne has an extensive family history in familysearch.org. Only two other children are listed, neither named John. I also have a newspaper abstract from the Mar 6 1835 issue of the Arkansas Gazette showing a David Jackson dying in Hot Springs Co(date of death abt Jan 21 1835). James Jackson was appointed administrator of the estate. I don't have any other info and haven't had the time to research the full article to see who else may be mentioned, considering I don't live in Arkansas. let me know if you want to discuss any other information.

Hi Listmembers -- I keep getting bits and pieces with someone's help MAYBE it will all fit together. Question number 1: Does anyone know if there ever was a place called Casa in either Conway or Yell county? I know there is/was one in Perry county. Question number 2: Where can you get either blank copies of 1918 WWI draft registration cards or the questions asked on them. I found my Wayne Grant on one of them. However, his answer to one question does not make sense. Question number 3: I found Miss Iva Grant married to Mr Marshall Sharp in a Yell county marriage book. Is there anyone searching the Sharp's with a Marshall in the line? Also have her sister Miss Hazel Lee Grant married to Mr Olga H Boothe in a Yell county marriage book. Is there anyone searching the Boothe's with an Olga H in the line? Isn't Olga a female name? What might this name be? Question number 4: I never found a marriage record for Dora Adaline Edmonson to Joseph Wesley Carlock. I have ruled out the following counties: Yell, Pope, Perry, Logan, Conway, Van Buren & Falkner. I know where she was in 1900, Conway County, she was married to Carlock by 1910 in Yell county. The marriage should have been between 1906 - 1908. Any suggestions? Question number 5: I am still looking for an obit for James H Grant died June 4, 1926. Oscar Russell checked his book for the Arkansas Democrat/Gazette he was not listed. A very nice man at the Yell county library checked their records he was not there either. Where would be another place to look? Question number 6 (the last one): Would some kind soul check the death indexes for Hazel & Olga Boothe and Iva & Marshall Sharp. Thank you very much for reading my post. Sorry it was so long. Thank-you for any help I receive... yvonne ____________________________ Colorado Springs, Colorado reply to henson@rmi.net web page: http://www.rmi.net/~henson Names I am researching: BRENT(S), GRANT, EDMON(D)SON, HENSON, MCARTHUR ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
