She was the daughter of Robert Eaton Acock and Mary Blanchett. She was born in North Carolina (probably Warren Co) and married Stephen Talkington on Mar 29, 1807 in Christian Co, KY. They moved to Arkansas in 1826 where they bought land in Hempstead Co. In later years they moved to north to Washington Co near Fayetteville. At the end of their lives they lived in Van Buren, Crawford Co. Stephen died in 1860 of typhoid fever and is said to have been one of the first people to be buried in the Fairview Cemetery there, although I was not able to find his (or her) gravestones. I don't know much about the Acock family so would be delighted to have any information you would be willing to share. I am particularly intereste din the Polk Co, MO connection as so many branches of my family ended up there in the mid-1800s.
