Ley, Check out the Ward maps on the Claiborne Parish Archives at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/claiborne/maps.htm or my own webpage at http://www.geocities.com/jerryg_71270/CLAIBOMAPS.html I also checked my Claiborne Parish Marriage book 1849-1910 and did not find any Arthur Murray. There are a couple of George Murrys, a George W. Murry, and a J. W. Murry....sorry. Good luck!

Dose anyone know where Ward 1, from 1910 would be located in todays town names? I only know it is NOT Haynesville. Arthur and Etta nee unknow Murray, children Mary, Porter, Minnie and Chris (Christopher). They connect to my Goodwin families (Louisiana, Mississippi, Natchez Trace, Tennessee, Maryland, James Cities[Virginia], by way of Russell (Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee). Any help welcome. I have checked my files and did not find a marriage record for them in Columbia or Union Counties, Arkansas where the families were. Anyone have Claiborne Parish records for about 1909 to check ? Also, are the films I looked at yesterday at National Archives (SF) for 1910 and 1900 for Webster and Claiborne as unreadable as others available elsewhere ? These were too faint to even try to locate anyone. Wished I had my clear yellow sheet with me to try. Will never forget to bring it again!!
