Hi Am attempting to locate researchers or descendants of either HATHCOCKs or SMITHs. A recent find in the Mountain Echo Newspaper of Marion County, Arkansas in 1891: Mtn. Echo, October 9, 1891 "Harvey Hathcock, of Clark Co., Mo., was down here last week. He was accompanied home by Mrs. Nan Smith, who will stay up there awhile." I come from a colorful family of SINORs and Smiths. I do know that the Smiths were originally from Missouri and I have found no record in Arkansas, prior to an 1880 Baxter County, Arkansas census record. It did reflect Missouri births for two of the children. The household was headed by a widowed mother: 1880 Census Place: Union, Baxter, Arkansas Source: FHL Film 1254038 National Archives Film T9-0038 Page 248C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Martha SMITH Self F W W 50 AR Occ: Keeping House Fa: --- Mo: --- Sarah SMITH Dau F S W 17 AR Fa: --- Mo: --- William T.

Tom Smith married Nancy Sinor in 1887 and by 1891, be was in the Boone Co., Arkansas jail awaiting trial on liquor charges. I have a feeling that the Mrs. Nan Smith that accompanied Harvey Hathcock back to Clark Co., Missouri from Marion County, Arkansas; as reported by the Mountain Echo Newspaper is my ggrandmother; Nancy Ann "Nan" Sinor Smith. Now, who is Harvey Hathcock and why was she accompanying him back to Clark Co., Missouri? Anyone? Thanks so much for your time, Bernie Moore-Knowles Phoenix, Arizona
