It's working fine for me this evening. Thanks. Brenda

I would like to thank those nice members who responded to my request for info on the IOOF cemetary and the burial of a certain Ann Carroll. Perhaps an explanation should have proceeded my request. I am descended from a certain Ralph Shelton of Claiborne Co. TN. He is a mysterious man in that he seems to have no parents that can be documented. His daughter Penelope(my gggmother) declared in court papers dating from 1894 to about 1908 that her father, Ralph was 1/2 Cherokee. There are many web sites claiming this mysterious Ralph Shelton, but no one has the slightest proof as to where he came from. These same sites claim that Ralph had a first wife named Ann Bunch and that they had 4 daughters, one of which was named Anne, who married a Hugh Carroll and moved to Indian Territory, later settling in MO: Strangely enough, Ralphs daughter Penelope Shelton married a Robert Beeler and they moved to Newton Co. MO abt. 1885. Penelope never mentions any relatives, and Ann Carroll, (possibly nee Shelton?) would have been her 1/2 sister if my Ralph Shelton is really her father. I am pasting in an excerpt from a book about the Carroll´s. I have no idea if the Benton Co. mentioned is in AR, MO, or TN. I myself have not seen the book, and this excerpt was sent to me by e-mail, unsolicited. It seems clear by the text, that the book was written before 1900, but this is only a supposition on my part. What I need to rule in or out is if this Anne who was buried in 1895 in the IOOF cemetary is really a Shelton, and further, who her parents or any other relatives might have been. Duane Mills Stavanger, Norway ********************** History of Benton County CARROLL COUNTY. page 1050 Hugh Carroll was born near Martinsburgh, Va. In Tennessee he engaged in farming and dealt extensively in horses. In 1836 he came West with the Cherokee Indians, and located first at Fort Gibson, I. T., but later settled in Neosho, Mo. In removing the Cherokees he was wagon master of a detachment of Indians. Upon settling at Neosho he engaged in farming, which he very successfully continued until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he joined the Confederate service, and was killed in Newton County, Mo., in 1862. His wife was also born in Claiborne County, Tenn., and is now living about nine miles from Neosho, Mo. (his wife, as you will see from the continued text below, was named Anna Shelton.) ***************** I have the following census info, although I do not remember who kindly did the lookup? 1850: Hugh Carroll McDonald Co., Missouri, District #53, hh#108 Carroll, Hugh 46 Fanner b NC Ann 40 b Tenn (nee Shelton) Henry 18 Tenn James 16 Tenn Samuel 14 Tenn Christopher C. 12 Mo.

There are a couple of interesting things here: One, of course, is the other "Hugh Carroll," who is young enough to be his son. Two, the rank of Third Lieutenant. I checked this out with our Civil War experts in Washington and they said that while it is rare, it was common in the Missouri State Guards. This information appeared on microfilmed index cards compiled by the War Department in the 1890s and sent to the Missouri State Archives in the 1920s. Since Carroll was in the State Guard, his enlistment papers are probably in the Missouri State Archives. They should have the records that will make a photocopy worth having. I can, however, photocopy the indices I consulted if you wish. Please write the state archives at: State Information Center, P.O.

John Carroll was born on August 30, 1828, in what is now Claiborne County, Tenn. He is the second in a family of ten children of Hugh and Anna (Shelton) Carroll. The family is of purely Celtic origin. Hon. John Carroll was reared on the frontier, and received his education by his own personal efforts, mostly among the Cherokee Indians. When his father removed to Missouri he (John) remained in the Indian Territory, and was married in the Cherokee Nation to Susan Ward, a quadroon. She died in 1856, leaving two children; Hugh, who was accidentally killed in 1885, at Vinita, where he resided, and Fincher, who now resides at Huntsville, Ark. While a resident of the Indian Nation Mr. Carroll (John) dealt very extensively and successfully in all kinds of Indian supplies. From there he removed to McDonald County, Mo., and in 1857 was united in marriage with Huldah Holcomb, who was born of French parentage in Newton County, Mo. Seven children have been born to this union; Mary, now the wife of John Cecil, of Chico, Tex.; Dick, deceased; Jeff. D., deceased; Frank, a clerk in the post-office at Eureka Springs, Ark.; Nora, Albert S. J. and Nellie. Upon his removal to McDonald County, Mr. Carroll settled on a large farm, which he cultivated in connection with stockraising until the Civil War broke out. He (John) raised three companies for the Confederate service, and was made captain of a company in the State service under Price. On reorganization he still commanded a company until 1863, when he received a colonel's commission, which he retained until the war ended. He passed through the service with many narrow escapes, but without injury. Returning home he settled at Huntsville, Ark., and engaged in general agricultural business and land dealing. He (John) was a member of the first Legislature that convened after the war, and in 1874 was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. As early as 1857 Mr. Carroll's ability to manage public affairs was recognized. In that year he was appointed sheriff of McDonald County, Mo., and United States Deputy Marshal for the Western District of Arkansas. He continued in business at Huntsville, Ark., until the opening of [p.1050] Eureka Springs in 1879, when he came thither and engaged in the improving and general merchandise business. He was chosen first mayor of the city (Eureka Springs) , and was also chosen by the citizens to represent them in adjusting the land suit between the town site claimants and the agricultural claimants. In 1884 he was admitted to the bar, and practiced law as a member of the firm of Carroll, Glitsch & Vandeventer until he was appointed United States Marshal of the Western District of Arkansas, in October, 1885. He still holds this position, and is widely and favorably known in the Southwest. The Western District of Arkansas includes eighteen counties of Arkansas, besides the five civilized tribes of the Indian Territory, the Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, Cherokees and Seminoles, and does the largest legal business of any district of the United States. During Mr. Carroll's service as marshal, seventeen deputy marshals have been killed. Politically our subject is a stanch Democrat, as was also his ancestry. He is a Royal Arch Mason.

Mike, I already know about the site. This info can be found in several places. What I need is more or less followup and I guess I will have to try to contact the actual cemetary which I understand still exists.

Is anyone else having trouble with the rootsweb site, or is it just me? When it finally comes up, I'm not able to scroll down to all the different search sites. Brenda

Duane, This sounds like a GOODSPEED's excerpt, both Benton & Carroll counties are in Ark, just across the state line from MO. Also, the IOOF cemetery is quite large, good records, but possible that what Dee placed on line is all there was. You might check with her for additional information, if any.

List, I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Neosho, Newton County, Missouri. Carroll, Ann, d.12/26/1895, Age 87 yrs 2 mo, Dr. Van Cleve **************** I believe this Ann to be Ann Shelton, the sister of one of my ancestors, but have no way to research from overseas. My Ann Shelton is supposed to have married a Hugh Carroll who is believed to have died in the Civil War in MO: Does anyone know if this cemetary still exists? Does anyone know if records exist for this burial? Does anyone know if records exist for this Dr. Van Cleve? Is there anyway to find the funeral home used? Best regards, Duane Mills Stavanger, Norway

Here is an excellant site to look for surnames from Kansas. There are several SHELTONS listed. Go to the "search" and put in the last name and then tell it you want Kansas. Good Luck and I hope this helps http://www.interment.net/new.htm With Regards Victoria Brittain Allen

good luck....JUDIE

Thanks! I really think we are beginning to get on the right track with our Dalton connection and I thank you for your help. I'll keep the link posted as I make some solid ground on this theory concerning Daltons in the Newton County area and their connection to a branch of the SHIPMAN tree. I have lots of oral family history and a lot of documentation as well. But, unless I can pinpoint with some exactness a few more issues, I of course won't post anything from all of our "creative" thinking! (grin) Thanks! Deb Vancouver

I haven't researched Abbey Blake Garrison who is in the LDS geneology and goes way back...but when I saw her she was in Oklahoma. JUDIE

Deb, On the Dalton Gang. I live in Coffeyville, Ks. where they tried to rob the banks and died. They are buried in the cemetery here. We have a museum also on them. My uncle was Dret Younger they were cousins to the Dalton gang. He did extensive research on the Younger family and Daltons. No doubt they probably had family in Newton Co. I could check for you if that is your question. My uncle lived in Joplin closer to Galena, Ks. but his wife is still alive.
