Does anyone have records that show of a migration to Arkansas about 1871? My Great-Grandfather, Hugh Jasper Ricketts was born in Tishimingo MS about 1849, resided in Hardin County TN in 1870, was in Arkansas in 1872, and back in Tennessee (Henderson County) in 1875. I'm not sure where he was in 1880 but would like to communicate with anyone who might have some related information. Thanks, Bob Ricketts ___________________________ Bob R. {bobr@foresight.net}

My g-g-grandparents (Winingham) also left Hardin County several years the war and were in Montague County TX by the early 1870's. While I do not have information on the wagon train they were with, my great grandmother remembered another family being ferried across the Mississippi, with their wagon, and seeing it capsize, with no survivors. I have tried to find something about this sad incident, without success. My g-grandmother also remembered how difficult life was after the war because of carpetbaggers and others who made life very hard on those living in the south, and her family's home near Crump.
