Hi Cousins: While looking for something else in Searcy Co. AR., I found some old letters written in 1915 to the newspaper, which was having a contest to find the oldest resident of that county. The below letter writers indicated that they moved from Hardin or Wayne Co. TN to Searcy Co. AR. James BRATTON, Sr. J.W. Gray (mentions the marriage of Jim KELLEY to Nancy BEAVERS and Aunt Pop SHIPMAN) V.H. WILLIAMS (mentions father A.D. WILLIAMS) W.T. GRAY (mentions parents Mr. And Mrs. John H. GRAY apparently a brother of J.W. GRAY above The letters can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~arsearcy/SHistories.html The letters are interesting reading since the writers were all born before 1850, even if they aren't your ancestors.
