WOW Thank you for that info! Amazing how the children's names change on the census though The one daughter was Iva who married a crawford. Somewhere I have a picture simply labeled Fanny's twins. they appear in this info as Om R and Zona. from family sources Zona 's actual name was Arizona B. in an Atoka county census I see they were living at "the old place" as it is called by the Smith family. Martha Freed Smith, Fanny's mother, was actually born in Orange County Indiana in 1852. Again Thank you William F Smith Heavener OK

That is great! Now they can find the cemetery...I did a look up too...to see if they were connected to my Mississippi Rushings...but I don't believ they do...unless way way back 258/258 Andrew J.

I read every stone there on the older cemetery part, but never went on the newer part across the highway...but there was only one double stone that I remember that was Rushing...but I assume it was the names you listed. I haven't found that picture, but I may go by there tomorrow and look again. Jerri

An old court case I found in district court records has nothing to do with genealogy, but much to do with people. In 1840, a man was tried for murdering another man who refused to abide by a promised land deal. Court papers go into great detail, with many "whereas" and "the above stated" on the stabbing, with information on the knife "of the value of one dollar," with a blade eight inches long and where the now deceased man was stabbed, said wound being one-quarter inch wide. During jury selection, defense and prosecutor challenged almost all potential jurors, until only eight men remained. The judge told the sheriff to go out and fine four good and qualified men, which the sheriff did. Jurors heard one day of testimony, then adjourned for another full day of deliberation before telling the judge they could not reach a verdict. The judge declared mistrial, with a new trial scheduled for the next court session. Between the trials, the accused man's divorce case came to court,! with two jurors from the murder trial on the divorce jury. The accused murderer was granted divorce. At the second murder trial, jurors deliberated a short time and then returned a verdict of not guilty. The dead man left a widow and three children. After that trial, a civil case came to court, in which the declared not guilty man sought to get the land he was originally promised, and which led to the killing. When all was done, the accused man's brother got his part of the land as promised, but the widow of the murdered man received the exact same acreage as promised the man who (according to the jury) did not kill her husband. After going through all manner of 1840s pieces of paper and the big court records and finding the verdict, I figured that story was like most others - One I read and would never hear about again. Not so. A year or so ago, I was in the district clerk's office here in Sulphur Springs. I happened to see an old book marked "Probate." I checked a few pages from the mid-1840s, and then what before my wondering eyes did appear but the not guilty man filing in Hopkins County to be named guardian of the three children of the man he did not kill (so the jury said). I checked all the pages forward until discovering that at the next meeting of the court, the man did not appear, and guardianship was not granted. There is, in that story, an entire novel of frontier life -- of promises made and not kept, of the consequences when a man did not keep his word, of the frontier legal system, of who knows what kind of machinations between the trials, of possible collusion between men and women not married to each other-It's a good story. Another good one is about the girl who turned 12 (or 13) in 1836 and got married and after the deaths of her husband, her brother and her sister, and she inherited a big chunk of land, later sold the same piece of property to two different men. Bob Merriman

When working for the Paris News, there were cemeteries marked on maps, but I couldn't find them all. One I was expecially intereseted in is up on the river, near one of the landings and what once was a community. Now I can't even remember the name. The cemetery has graves of people who settled there in the 1830s and 1840s, but now is on private property, down several dirt roads and across fields and fences.

I am looking for information about J King. In the 1930 census is listed as living with Nancy Willis and Roy Ballard. His age was listed as 12 and he was born in OK. In 1936 there were several deaths in the family. Could King be one? Geri

Thanks to all for the information concerning the Rushing Family. William F Smith Heavener OK

Red River Co has a good record of Cemetary names.....it is at the Annex down the street from the courthouse there in Clarksville. The book has a listing of all the Cemetaries in Red River Co. There are three or four cemetaries very close to Bagwell. Old Shamrock being one of them. I was just there two weeks ago.......another cemetary on the old 82 highway, the one going from Bagwell to Detroit. But have someone check the Cemetary Book for you..........

this them in Hopkins County...Rushing Cemetery...Did Fannie move to Red River County? Or do you think she is buried here with her family? Just curious...

It will be a pleasure to look into your line. The Rushing line is my Grandmothers and she is almost 80 and really curious and interested. I'll keep looking for the name of Cemetery to find yours...I am happy to go snap a pic for ya if we find it, if its not a hard one to get to... Funny thing is...I have a connection somewhere in MS with Rushing and Smith...at least they lived in the same household. Interesting... Jerri

yes they lived in Bagwell for years. Fanny died in the 1960s at Bagwell. I think that she is buried near Bagwell. I was there but was just a teenager at the time When she died her son William Rushing lived with her. I am not sure if the Rushings came from MS or not. My Smiths came from GA to TN to AR and to TX and finally to OK My grand parents , William W Smith and Martha Freed Smith are buried at Wards Chapel in Atoka county OK. They had two sons who died in Texas. Arlie was a small child when they lived at Birthright and passed away there. They shipped him back to polk county AR for burial but I have no idea where Luther is buried. he was a teenager when he died in TX . I do not know if Luther is buried in Hopkins county or Red River County not even sure what year he died. William F Smith Heavener OK

WOW I am amazed. I am into tracing Rushings myself, as my great-grandmother was a Rushing. Her family was from Mississippi and Alabama...and then moved into Louisiana, but stories go that some went to Texas. That's all I know about them...but I do have lots of Rushing info from MS... I have also seen a few Rushing headstones around here. I believe I have a few photos, one being from Old Salem Cemetery outside of DeKalb...I know I snapped that one. I'd love to hear more about your Rushing family. Do you know where they came from? Jerri

I believe that Andrew Rushing grew up near Sulpher Springs TX Not too positive there . My Smith family lived in Birthright TX in Hopkins county when Fanny married Andrew. they had 14 kids. I know that there are some of their descendants still in the area but do not know any of them. Some time ago someone told me where Fanny is buried and also some of the rest of the family. I have misplaced that info. Some time ago I made contact with a lady who is Fanny's grand daughter and doing research on the Rushing family. she promised me info but never sent any. Last e-mail I sent her came back... William F Smith Heavener ok
