hi peggy. haven't heard from you in a long time. hope you're doing well. sorry, wrong cemetery... that's the "new" ponder cemetery. the one i'm looking for is the old ponder cemetery, and i believe is to the west of the new one and down a gravel road. scot

hello, bernie. i'm not researching the ponder surname... i found a reference in an old newspaper that said my g-grandfather was visiting a relative in ponder, mo., and i was wondering if any relatives were buried near there. scot

Hi Scot Could resist touching base with you when I saw the Ponder surname. My mother's sister; Audie Smith married an Orvis and I know that the Orvis family intermarried with the Ponders. Can you tell me more about the Ponders that you research? I do think the Ponders that I research were from Missouri, but will have to check exactly where.

The following e-mail is of great concern to any genealogists who use archives. Please read, sign the petition, then send this to any other Rootsweb or genealogy lists you're on. The President's budget recommendations for Fiscal Year 2006 slash or eliminate more than 150 federal programs. In that budget, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) has been targeted to receive NO funding. This includes no funds for the grants program and no funds for staffing to support the NHPRC programs. It effectively eliminates NHPRC. The Council of State Historical Records Coordinators, the Society of American Archivists, and the National Association for Government Archivists and Records Administrators are working collaboratively to address this threat to NHPRC and NARA. Archivists across the U.S. are rallying to save NHPRC while also ensuring that NARA has sufficient funding to sustain its current programs and continue to advance in areas that benefit all archival repositories and every citizen of the United States. As part of our efforts to continue to express to Congress interest in restoration of funding for NHPRC, we have created an online petition. Please consider signing this petition, and please forward it to any listservs, e-mail groups, or organizations and people you feel would be interested in helping with this effort. It is a quick and easy way for many people to assist. The petition will be forwarded to the House Appropriations Committee and Subcommittee on Treasury, Transportation, HUD and the Judiciary in late May. The petition can be access at: _www.savearchives.org_ (http://www.savearchives.org/) Click on the "petition" button. If you have not received a previous action alert on this issue, we encourage you to also write a letter to your members of Congress. For information on writing letters of support, see any of the following websites: www.savearchives.org_ (http://www.savearchives.org/) www.coshrc.org_ (http://www.coshrc.org/) www.archivists.org_ (http://www.archivists.org/) Thanks for your efforts to save this important program for archives!

Perhaps I need to relable this page http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Emoripley/vital.htm Records will be whereever the land was in the particular date you are researching. 1820 records would be in Wayne Co Jackie County Formation Information Carter County was formed in 1859 from parts of Oregon, Reyolds, Ripley and Shannon Counties; the county seat is Van Buren. Oregon County was formed in 1845 from Ripley County; the county seat is Alton. Shannon County was formed in 1841 from Ripley County; the county seat is Eminence. Ripley County was formed in 1833 from Wayne County; the county seat is Doniphan. Wayne County was formed in 1818 from Cape Girardeau County; the county seat is Greenville. Cape Girardeau County was formed in 1812 as an Original District; the county seat is Jackson. Also of note. Butler Co. was formed in 1849 from Wayne Co. The extreme Eastern portion of Ripley Co. became the extreme western portion of Butler Co. at that time. It is not noted on the site.

Bernie, Clay County Arkansas is what I am talking about. It is just about 60 miles if that much from Ripley County. I have Allen's in my line. I have not been able to connect them to the Allen's in Rector Arkansas though. There was a family of Allen's that lived in Doniphan, who had lived in Success , Arkansas. My Great Grandparents lived in Success , Arkansas for a time. I still don't know if there is a connection there. My Great Grandfather I believe was a Postmaster in Success around 1900. Not sure where to find out that information either. There are a lot of McDonald's in the Pollard area of Clay County. Two of the girls married my Allen Great Uncles. Their father's name was Henderson King Melton McDonald. Not sure if any of this helps you. If you find out there is a connection I will see what I can do to help you further. BJ
