If a person served in the 1st Tennessee Infantry for the Union, does that mean he enlisted in that state? Would he have been required to be living in that state or could he have traveled to that state to enlist for some reason? Catherine

Dear Friends, I would like to express to all of you my sincere gratitude for the many kind words of condolences in the death of my mother. It meant a lot to me and I want you to know that I was moved and uplifted. It is in times like these that the, seemingly, simple things in life can be so meaningful. From the bottom of heart, I thank you. Love & Blessings, Betty Tucker --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more

List members Andrew, Liz and Patricia, I appreciated very much the information you have shared. I guess you could say America Piercefield Wheeler was the cause of my very first interest in family history. I became intrigued each time my father would mention his Aunt America. What an unusual name and how did such a peron become part of our family? were questions for which I wanted to find answers. Thank you all! Dana Johnson

I meant to add... that the Melinda McWILLIAMS, dau. of NILSON/NELSON, who was 11 yrs old in the 1850 census, was the first wife of Walter BELLAH SR from Randolph Co., AR. He is the Walter BELLAH that lived across the road from BELLAH Cemetery. What is it about the area, that we are all connected??

Carol,I think that your A.J. McWILLIAMS was a younger brother to my Nelson/Nilson/Nielson McWiLLIAMS. Both are found in Oregon Co. in 1850 Census!! Your A.J. is 26, while my Nilson is 33. Also found in the same census is 34 yr old William S. and his family;and 20 yr old John, and his wife. Ya think?

I am still trying to connect my gr-grandfather, George W. McWilliams, b 1869, AR. My McWilliams family history: He and brothers James and John (b 1868) left AR in 1880, camped at Caddo Lake, TX/LA border. They were attacked by unknown individuals. James apparently was killed and George and John were rescued by my gg-grandfather, Hillen PUTMAN and taken to Cherokee/Smith Cos, TX, where George m Martha PUTMAN. Would these McWilliams brothers be in your data base? Thanks. Doreen Pool

Carol, have you looked at the Wood(s) family in Fulton Co, AR? I don't know how early they were there but were there from the very early 1900's until mid 1960's. The ones I know about were in Mammoth Spring. Catherine Carol & Ken Jones wrote: > Lanita, > Yes we do connect with the MCWILLIAMS brothers.Isn't that neat?

We have just received word that our own Betty Tucker's Mother passed away on Friday. Betty is so giving and has been a constant help to many of us in our genealogical search in Randolph Co., AR especially, that I thought many of you would want to express your sympathy. If you want to send a message to her privately, send to: Betty Tucker: bettytucker72455@yahoo.com Our thoughts and prayers are with Betty, Lee and the rest of the family. Lanita

Lanita, Yes we do connect with the MCWILLIAMS brothers.Isn't that neat? I have strong gut feelings that the WOODS (WOOD) family that I am looking for is right there close by but will take some digging. I need to get the library and do some researching. Does anyone have a list of books available for the area?

On it it has that her parents are J.W.Woods and Mary Smith. Both born in Arkansas. Melissa was married to Andrew J. McWilliams in Oregon co., MO in 1848.

Dana, I checked the Oregon Co. Census from 1850-1880, 1900, and there are no PIERCEFIELDs mentioned. I checked the rootsweb, and found that someone had posted that a Lottie PIERCEFIELD mar. Wilson C. FELKINS, and died in Jan. 1881 in Oregon Co. You might email them at: jameshcarroll@comcast.net Hope this helps, Lanita Sconce Miller Wichita, KS For information on my families, check out my new website: www.lanitasloft.com My ancestors must be in a witness protection program!!

Thanks, Lanita, for checking records for me. I'll try the e-mail address you suggested. Dana

Hello List, Jasper Daniel Wheeler married America Isabelle Piercefield on 2-25-1894. I am searching for ANY information about America. On MO census records, I've seen her born in Missouri, Illinois and simply United States. Her date of birth has been given as 5-8-1873, 7-8-1873 and May 1872. According to the Oregon County cemetery book, she died on 11-3-1971 and is buried (as is her husband) in Garfield Cemetery. (1) I have no other information about America. Who were her parents? Were there other Piercefield families in Oregon County? Did she have any siblings? (2) Jasper and America had 9 children; they were: Dorothy, Mayme, Roy, Ruth, Edna Mae, James Oscar, Ernest, Bertha D. and Pauline. I have very little information about these children. I need help to learn to whom each married, when/where, and the children born to these unions. I will be grateful for any and all help with this family. My e-mail is: djohnson973@comcast.net Thank you! Dana Johnson

Jeanette, I gave my gggrandfather a Confederate Stone, and he wouldn't tell me who his GRANDMOTHER was, nor where his father was buried!! The NERVE!!! :>) I am curious about your John Robert PRIEST though.. was he Union or Confederate? If he was Union, I think I can find where he is buried, if you don't know.. Those ROLL OF HONOR books at the library would tell us that.
