I've been reading the postings regarding families who moved from Hardin Co. to Arkansas and thought I'd add some other surnames. My direct Henry and Russell ancestors moved from Hardin to Jackson Co. AR in 1853. Either traveling with them or soon thereafter, came more Russell families along with these surnames: Wood, Johnson, Chalk, Jackson, McDougal, Ross and Hess families to name a few. This area of Jackson Co. forms almost a triangle with White and Independence Counties, thus many families moved within this tri-county area. Also, heading from Hardin Co. to Clay Co. AR were my Smith and Berry lines. These families moved first to Dyer Station TN and then on to Boydsville, Clay Co. AR. I'll post a partial index to deeds in Jackson Co. AR below where someone may note their ancestors: 6-11-1855 Boyd Wellington & wife to Thomas M. Ross 3-24-1866 Josephine Blagg to Wm. D. Brown 10-28-1859 Blip & Cox to John Stewart 1-3-1858 John Beard & wife to John Taylor 3-27-1867 R. D. Byers & wife to William Henry and wife 3-27-1863 Joseph A. Bennett & wife to John Stewart 1-21-1848 John A. Cornett to James M. Brown 11-2-1849 Caroline Cornelius to William Mason 12-10-1856 Joseph M. Green to W. H. Taylor 1859 or 1860 (date not certain but I have book and page number is the following: Governor of Arkansas to William A. Henry....4 Deeds 6-30-1860 Mary Ann Gibbs to James A. Chalk 3-2-1852 Green Hill to Battin Bright 6-12-1856 Wm. N. Holland & wife to Mary A. Holland 2-21-1859 James Hall to James Stewart 6-8-1859 Shows V. R. Mason & wife to Thomas H. Murphy a deed of trust. 4-12-1860 Lewis Hananes & wife to M. B. McCoy 6-30-1860 William Henry to James A. Chalk 7-27-1866 William Henry to Joseph A. McLayden 1-22-1867 William Henry to E. D. & T. E. Bryeans Early probate for Jackson Co., AR.....David Johnson of Jackson Co. died January 29, 1862 Kentucky. Aff. J.V. Richardson 7-18-1865 bond 7-18-1865. He must have been in the Civil War. Marriages Jackson Co.: Albert Johnson 20 & Sarah Ann Readwine 3-1-1866. Also found at Oakland Cem: Albert Johnson died 7-1868 22 yrs old. William Johnson 26 & Jane Pierce 17 11-10-1859 Lewisa Johnson 33 & Thomas Richardson 29 9-5-1866 Isabel Johnson 17 & James Williams 21 11-15-1874 Lucinda Johnson & Thomas Deaton 9-3-1868 Robert Johnson & Marinda Holand 11-22-1866 This is a mix of what could have been Felix Johnson and Benjamin Johnson's children from Hardin Co. It appears to me that some of the Johnson's went to Arkansas and then some went back to Hardin. Keeping in mind that Lawrence Co. AR was founded several years prior to Jackson Co., there were several Hardin Co. families listed in earlier Lawrence Co. records. Carolyn Anderson **************Start the year off right.

Miss Laura Hit had a letter to Hardin County folk living in Ark. A letter dated 4/8/1854 from Marion County (Yellville) Ark. from Joseph and Adoline McCracken to their nephews John, Daniel & George Bain sons of William Bain and Mary McCracken Bain. The letter describes the good hunting in that area of (Ark).
