Posted on: Yell Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell/389 Surname: Kennington, Ramsey ------------------------- Does anyone have information on William R. Kennington, age 39(possibly 34?), b SC,in Yell County, AR in 1880 census? With him were wife Mary E.J. Kennington, 21, b TX, and dau Willie F.,1, b AR. I believe this may be son of William E. Kennington and Susan A. Poer, in Bowie County, TX 1840's through 1860's although William E. disappeared bef 1860. My ggf Samuel Howard Kennington, b Feb 14,1859, may have been son of William E. and Susan, also, but some oral family history suggests he may have been son of one of their daughters and a man named Tidwell but was raised by his "Uncle Bill" Kennington. I am guessing Uncle Bill was William R. above. Sam married Millie Ramsey abt 1878, dau of David Crockett Ramsey and Elizabeth English. These Ramseys were in neighboring Scott County in 1860 census and Sebastian County in 1870. Sam and Millie and at least two other Ramsey siblings went to Clay County, TX 1878-1879 and later were in neighboring Montague County. Would love to find a marriage record for Sam and Millie in Yell, Scott, or Sebastian Counties. Please help if you can.
