Lanita, Checked again. In all of AR, there is shown only one SCONCE and that is Leroy SCONCE in Washington Co. Checked just AR without specifying any county and then checked each county along the AR/MO border plus Craighead, Poinsett and Mississippi, using exact name and soundex, using whole name and just last name. Also checked the image to see who was living with Leroy. William's not there. When just using AR and not specifying any county, there were over 1000 soundex hits and I must admit, I didn't check those. I only checked soundex for the counties along the border and around Randolph Co.
