Hi I am looking for information about the James A. Brantley family found in the following 1900 Scott County census of Hunt Township #7/7. James A. Brantly Hd Nov 1856 43 M/16 NC NC NC Mattie Wf Aug 1865 34 7/6 AL NC SC Audrie M. D Aug 1385 14 AL NC AL Lydia R. D Sep 1887 12 AL NC AL Joseph A. S May 1891 9 AR NC AL Lula A. D Apr 1893 7 AR NC AL Mary A. D Sep 1895 4 AR NC AL James T. S Nov 1898 1 AR NC AL Does anyone know who James parents were? Does anyone know who the parents of his wife, Mattie Watson Brantley Owens were? From what I can figure form cemetery, marriage and census records this is all I know. James A. Brantley, born November 15, 1858 in North Carolina. His parents are unknown, but according to the above and the 1920 census record, the both of his parents were born in North Carolina. He married (1) Mattie Watson by 1885, probably in Alabama. Mattie Watson was born August 30, 1866 in Alabama. I do not know who her parents were either. According the 1900 records her father was born in North Carolina and her mother born South Carolina and 1910 census it is the other way around. 1910 Scott County Hunt Twp #76/76 James A. Brantley Hd 52 M1/25 NC NC NC Mattie E. Wf 44 M1/25 12/8 AL SC NC Anders J. S 18 Sgl AR NC AL Mary D 14 same Mattie E. D 8 same Ruby L. D 7 same Iva L. D 5 same Lorena D 10/12 same James Brantley was a farmer, but I was unable to find any land records for him. There is a Joseph K. Brantly who had land in the western part of the county. There was also a Ted Brantley how had land in Yell County. Again I have no idea if these men are related to James A. Brantley. James Brantley died April 5, 1911 in Arkansas and is buried Egypt Cemetery in Yell County (Source: Yell County Cemeteries, Egypt Cemetery, Yell County, Arkansas. This cemetery is located near Blue Ball in western Yell County: Brantley, James A. (W of W) 15 Nov 1858- 5 Apr 1911.). After James died, Mattie married (2) John Calvin Owens October 31, 1915 in Scott County Arkansas ( Scott County Marriage Book, D, page 533.) He is listed as J.C. Owens, 46 of Harvey. And she was listed as Mrs Mattie Brantley, 49, of Gravely by I.J. Wilson. He was the son of Dennis Owens and Caroline Phillips. John Calvin Owens was born July 23, 1869 and died 1928 in Star, Oklahoma. Mattie Watson Brantley Owens died September 16, 1950 in Arkansas? She is buried Egypt Cemetery in Yell County (Source: Yell County Cemeteries, Egypt Cemetery, Yell County, Arkansas. Owens, Mattie (Brantley) 30 Aug 1866-16 Sep 1950.). The children of Mattie Watson and James Brantley were: i. Audrie May Brantley, born August 1885 in Alabama and died March 14, 1968; married John Daniel Millard Bef. 1903. I have no marriage record for her. I am assuming that she married in Yell County. ii. Lydia R. Brantley, born September 1887 in Alabama and died 1926 in Arkansas, buried Young Gravelly Cemetery at Gravelly, Yell County, Arkansas. She married Oscar W. Highfill October 6, 1907 in Scott or Yell County Arkansas .( Scott County Marriage Book, C, page 569. Oscar Higfill, 19, of Walnut Tree [now Waltreak], to Lydia Brantley, 20, of Walnut Tree on Oct. 6, 1907.). iii. Joseph Anders Brantley, born May 1891. No other information known. iv. Julia E. (Lula A.) Brantley was born April 19, 1893 in Arkansas and died October 23, 1907 in Arkansas, buried Egypt Cemetery in Yell County. v. Mary A. Brantley, born September 1895. Nothing else known. vi. James T. Brantley, born November 10, 1898 in Arkansas and died August 12, 1900 in Arkansas, buried Egypt Cemetery in Yell County vii. Ruby L. Brantley, born about 1903. Nothing else known ix. Iva L. Brantley, born about 1905. Nothing else known x. Herman Brantley, born December 17, 1907 in Arkansas; died March 19, 1908 in Arkansas, buried Egypt Cemetery in Yell County. xi. Lorena Brantley, born about 1909 - 1910; married Thomas Jared "Bob" Owens January 17, 1926. xii. Mattie E. Brantley, born December 2, 1899 in Arkansas and died July 22, 1986 in Scott County, Arkansas, buried at Union Hill Cemetery in Dutch Creek Valley; married James A. Lunsford about 1919 Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated. Charlene Holland
