Surnames: Walden, Waldron Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JKB.2ACI/2121.4 Message Board Post: Sonia, Thomas Byrd Walden is buried with a military marker in Blue Springs Cemetery. The marker gives his birth date as 1/27/1847 and death date as 2/21/1919. He died at age 72. In parentheses is the following: (Co. G, 46th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, Confederate States Army). The cemetery is located at Blue Springs Baptist Church near the intersection of the Chunky-Duffee Road and Highway 80 at Chunky. This is in T6N, R13E, S 1& 2. Thomas Byrd Walden is buried in the East Central section of the cemetery. The source for the above data is "Newton County Mississippi: A Cemetery Census 1782-1995" by Bonnie Addy Smith, Jackson Eliot Smith, and Robert Ervin Smith, Ph.D. 1997 by EBRS Publishing Company. Here is data on the 46th Regiment from the National Parks Service site: "46th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry 46th Infantry Regiment was organized during the fall of 1862 by adding four companies to the six-company 6th (Balfour's) Mississippi Infantry Battalion. In February, 1863, it totalled 407 effectives and served in S.D. Lee's and Baldwin's Brigade in the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. The unit participated in the long Vicksburg siege and was captured on July 4, 1863. After the exchange it was assigned to Generla Baldwin's, Tucker's, and Sears' Brigade. It fought in the Atlanta Campaign, endured Hood's winter operations in Tennessee, and shared in the defense of Mobile. The regiment had 1 wounded at Chickasaw Bayou and during the Atlanta operations, May 18 to September 5, reported 23 killed, 68 wounded, and 37 missing. It lost 1 killed, 13 wounded, and 16 missing at Allatoona and had many disabled at Franklin. Only a remnant surrendered in May, 1865. The field officers were Colonels William H. Clark and Claudius W. Sears, Lieutenant Colonel William K. Easterling,! and Major Constantine Rea." The only other Walden in the same regiment and company was W. W. Walden, (also listed as W. W. Waldron), a private. Hope this helps, Catherine

The last link at the interment site, I don't think is the right Blue Springs --that's listed in Marion County, not Newton. Unless I am missing something on the county lines being close to each other. My Walden's are just being elusive. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate your time. Sonia

From the Newton Co. Cemetery book by the Smiths: Buried there is Walden, Thomas Byrd, 1/27/1847 - 2/21/1919 - Co. G, 46th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, Confederate States Army. Directions from same book to Blue Springs Cemetery: Take the Chunky-Duffee Road north for 4.7 miles from the intersection of Highway 80 at Chunky. Bess

No solid evidence exists as to his burial place, although many Choctaw Indians from this area were buried in a traditional Indian burying ground at Chunkeyville. Members of the Gilbert family that took care of Jack for the latter part of his life are buried in Blue Springs Baptist Church Cemetery north of Chunky. It is fitting, therefore, that on January 19, 2004, through the efforts of the author and the approval of the Blue Springs Church Cemetery Association, a Confederate marker was placed in Jack Amos’ honor in Blue Springs Cemetery.

My Grandfather was Alfred Henbest who was born in Illinios and moved to the Monnett/Cassville area where mom was born in 1906. In 1919, they moved to Fayetteville Arkansas. There is family folklore that the wife of William Henbest that moved to Illinios from England was the daugher of the King of France and was disowned by her family when she married William who was a commoner. I would love to find some good source documents for that. Keep in touch I'm at pearceww@rmi.net and I have a lot of Henbest, Meador, and Pearce data for our folk in the U. S.

I found Albert Henbest in the 1870 census of Barry Co., MO, Flat Creek, Image 18. It says he was born in England (I had about 1821, so I'm sure we have the same person). I show his wife as Octave Ship born VA (about 1830). I have children for Naretta Elizabeth Jones Henbest (my Jones connection) and William J. Henbest if you would like their names. William J. was born in Illinois, by the way.

He was born on 17 May 1862 in Marshall Ill. and died on 4 August 1940 in Fayetteville Arkansas. He moved to Cassville Missouri in 1886 and married JOANNA MEADOR on 12 September 1886. They moved to the north side of Fayetteville in 1919. Their house was on the north border of the VA Hospital. Joanna Meador's family traces back to the early 1600s in Virginia and her ancestors were in the Virginia Army which provided membership qualifications for the DAR and SAR. The Henbest line, as I know it, goes back as follows: John Albert Henbest (29 December 1820, D 21 February 1904) - Octavie Stevens William Henbest - Sophia Knowlton (b 1792) James Henbest - Sarah Pechkam This data is from The Meador Family by Daniel Burton Meador and from other data gathered by Mom's brother and sister. I have extensive data on the Henbest family via this book, as well as my Pearce family in my Family Tree Maker file which I would be glad to share. Do you have any data on the Henbest folk in England?? pearceww@rmi.net WWP

List: Would someone who lives in the Newton county area please look up for me the probate records from Book l, (1876-1899) Newton Chancery Court for AF TEMPLES, record #119-128 and William Thames record #108-118? I believe that the record on AF Temples will provide some info about his death and other family members and maybe enlighten me on other missing information. A F Temples was my gggGdfather and I do not know when or where he died or is buried as well as other members of his family. William Thames could be the son of James Thames another relative who also lived in Newton Co. I will gladly pay for coping if that is the best way of getting the information to me. I live in Hawaii and unable to get to Newton Co. Paul Thames
