    1. [MOFRANKL-L] Response to Mothershead Query
    2. S Cooley
    3. Well, for starters, Pea Ridge is in Washington County. However, this marriage did take place in Franklin County. The Pearl Mothershead you are asking about was the youngest daughter of Thomas Mothershead. Her siblings were Nannie, Myrtle, Margie, Charlie, and Elbert. Pearl married Bill Burnett (perhaps it was John William) and worked at the shoe factory at Union. Their sons were Glennon and Oley. Thomas Mothershead was the son of John Mothershead, believed to have been an Osage Indian, who had to take an "American" name in order to buy property and chose the name of Mothershead. Some members of this Mothershead clan have told me they don't be lieve they are related to any other Mothersheads because of this. I hope this helps.
