Ruthie, have you see the site at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ (land grants from some eastern states - includes AR)? It sounds like you have your family's grants, but if you haven't been to this site, you will enjoy it, I think. Your awfully close to our Bryant's in Clark Co., AR... Maybe we'll find a link one day! Good luck!
