Adamsville, Bradley County, Arkansas

jamie_armour — 12 Jun 2008 4:07:20 GMT

Can anyone tell me where Adamsville was located? I've searched for it on several old maps with no luck.

Samuel L. Smith family; Adamsville, AR; Bell's Store

jamie_armour — 12 Jun 2008 4:12:35 GMT

A friend found a letter in his late mother's papers written to a Samuel L. Smith and his wife, Mary S. Smith. The letter dates to the Civil War and is addressed to this couple at Adamsville, Arkansas. The letter was postmarked Bell's Store.

Clanton Family Newsletter and questions

Florentine21 — 19 Dec 2007 8:07:45 GMT

Somewhere here I saw a person asking who was now in charge of the Clanton Family newsletter.
Joan Viney has told me that she is now the one writing it after giving me information on Edward Clanton's father's name, Thomas William Clanton and his wife Johanna I believe.

My family comes in with Edward's daughter Margaret Clanton who married Zephanias Barfield of Bradley County, Arkansas.

After the family reunion in 1936 in Arkansas, there seems to be no interaction of Clanton's and Barfield's, seemingly serving any ties to the family.
The last of my family that is mentioned in the 1936 Eagle Democratic is Mrs. D.G. Barfield, my great grandmother.

There are two questions I do have.
Does anyone know of Mary J Chandler who would have been one year old in 1936? Is she still alive, and is there any way of getting hold of her?
Are there any relatives or descendants of Maggie's nieces or nephews of her brothers and sisters children?
I saw a Jesse Clanton mentioned here as a brother, does he or anyone else have living relatives?

My grandmother, Mr & Mrs. D.G. Barfield's daughter has heard stories of her great grandfather's family, and for years has told me what she's knows of the family line.
I hope to fill in the blanks and get to know even more of my family out of both interest and curiosity.

Anyone with questions of the Barfield family I may have answers for, or something that could help you.

And if anyone can tell me anything about how Thomas William Clanton connects to John and Marmaduke Clanton of Virginia I would greatly apprciate it.

Thank you.

need help locating SOURCES for marriages, buriials, etc in Bradley Co AR

Kathye_Upham — 27 Apr 2008 5:56:45 GMT

I don't have any experience researching Bradley Co and I need to know where to look for legal records.........???

The family below is one of the trickier ones I've researched in my 30 years and the difficulty is compounded by (1) their almost always misspelled surname (2) the 20 year gap between the 1880-1900 censuses (3) the lack of death records in most states before 1915.
==========================================================
Mrs Amanda NUNNERLEE married W. H. NUNNERLEE 24 Jun 1870 in Lauderdale Co MS (this surname was actually NUNNELEE)
==========================================================
The 1870 census below indicate 6 children born before Walter and Amanda married..... whose children were they ?
1870 Lauderdale Co MS/Meridian/HH 558/pg 56a (25 Jul 1870)
NUNELLY, Walter H /HH/wm age 38 AL
Nunelly, Amanda /wf age 28 TN
Nunelly, Mary E /wf age 14 MS
Nunelly, Franklin /wm age 12 MS
Nunelly, George /wm age 14 MS
Nunelly, Wily /wm age 07 MS
Nunelly, Sarah /wf age 04 MS
Nunelly, Louise /wf age 03 MS
===========================================================
.........now comes the first "monkey wrench".....
(1) if Walter gave the census info then George, Martha Sarah, and Louisa are Amanda's children BUT (2) if Amanda gave the census info then George, Martha Sarah, and Louisa are Walter's children
1880 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 62-86/pg 4a (03 Jun 1880)
NUNLEY, Walter H /HH/wm age 50 AL/Ga?/Ga?
Nunley, Amanda /wife/wf age 45 TN/Ga/Tn
Nunley, George L /Step-son/wm age 19 MS/Al/Tn <<<
Nunley, Martha S /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<
Nunley, Louiza /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<
=========================================================
.........the 2nd "monkey wrench"............
(1) if Walter gave the census info then George is Amanda's son and since George is listed as a "nephew" it seems to indicate that Amanda's first husband was Walter's brother (2) if Amanda gave the census info then George is Walter's son and could be Amanda's nephew-in-law or nephew by some unknown relationship. .....sigh.....
1900 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 279/pg 329a (25 Jun 1900)
NUNNELEE, Walter H /HH/wm age 67 born Mar 1833 AL/Ga/Va
+ married 29 yrs
Nunnelee, Amanda /wife/wf age 67 born unk TN/Tn/Tn
+ 1 of 4 chn lvg
NUNNELEE, George L P /NEPHEW/wm age 39 born Sep 1860 MS/Ga/TN + single
========================================================
.........the 3rd "monkey wrench"............
this census indicates that (1) Amanda was Walter's THIRD wife and (2) if accurate, Amanda had just one child living but who is it ??? I don't have a clue what happened to Mary E, Martha Sarah, or Wily but James F died 1893 in TX and Louisa [Nunnelee] Stovall Enis is reported to have died in Bradley County 1901. (3) for the first time George is listed as a son but who gave the census info ??? And, does the mean the same person gave the 1880 and 1900 census info and therefore seeming to verify that Walter married his brother's wife or widow ?? Or did George himself give the census info and considered himself to be the son of both Walter and Amanda ??

1910 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 258-276/pg 82b
(13 May 1910)
NUNNERLY, Walter H /HH/wm age 77 AL/Ga/Va + 3m = 39 yrs
Nunnerly, Amanda /wife/wf age 76 TN/Tn/Va + 2m + 1 of 4 chn lvg
Nunnerly, George L P /SON/wm age 48 MS/Al/TN + single
STOVALL, James S /G-SON/wm age 17 AR/Ar/Ms

Walter died 10 Aug 1911 and Amanda died 10 Nov 1916 and George 1st married about 1916; both recvd CSA penions under the surname spelling NUNNELLEE. Amanda is listed in the Ancestry com AR death index as N-u-n-a-l-l-y but I am waiting on her death certificate to see if that spelling is correct or a typo.

To top off the list of mysteries, I have no clue who Walter's parents or siblings were nor do I know anything about Amanda before she married Walter except she had 4 chn.

Back to Bradley County records..........
(1) what published sources are available for purchase that includes marriages between 1875 and 1900 ??
(2) which cemeteries fall within the boundaries of Pennington and Marion townships ? Are books available for purchase that includes them ?
(3) were birth and death recorded and kept by the county before Bradley complied with the state laws to send them to the state?

I know this is a lot and very lengthy but George has a 90 year old son who is still living and was just a teenager when his parents died...he knows nothing about his family and I want to find anything and everything I can for him.

My heartfelt thanks for anything you can share to help me do that.

NUNNELEE, NUNNELLEE, NUNNELLY etc MS to Texas 1889-1899 and to Bradley Co AR

Kathye_Upham — 4 Apr 2008 8:37:26 GMT

Looking for any descendant of James Franklin NUNNELLEE and Josephine [McDUFFIE] who married 01 Mar 1882 in Lauderdale Co MS.

Below is James living with his parents:

NUNNELLY, Jas /Roomer/wm age 20 MS/x/x + single

James Sr and Josephine had 3 chn live to adulthood........
(per their Texas death certificates - all surname Nunnellee)
(1) James Franklin Jr born 15 Dec 1884 Jones Co MS - died
22 Jul 1958 Jefferson Co TX. Married Jessie Ethel [DAVIS].
Has NO living children.
(2) Jodie Harry born 30 Aug 1886 Lauderdale Co MS - died
19 Jan 1945 Harris Co TX. Married Lela [CHEEK].
MAY have 1 son born 1920 living?
(3) Jesse Clyde born 17 Jul 1890 Jackson MS - died 12 Aug 1942 Travis Co TX. Married Mary [unknown].
MAY have a dtr born 1919 living? other children unknown...
NOTE: Jesse Clyde's birthplace "Jackson MS" is from his WWI draft registration and I do not know if it is Jackson County, MS or a city named Jackson in MS.

I do not known when or where James Franklin Sr died but by 1900 Josephine [McDuffie] Nunnellee was widowed and in living in Polk Co TX:
1900 Polk Co TX/8 Justice Prec/HH 236-249/pg 183b
(13 Jun 1900)
Nunnelee, Josephine P /HH/wf age 42 born Feb 1858 AL/Al/Ga + widow + 3 of 4 chn lvg

Nunnelee, Jodie H /son/wm age 13 born Aug 1886 MS/Al/Ms
Nunnelee, Jessie J /son/wm age 09 born Jul 1890 MS/Al/Ms

I am 95% certain that this is James Franklin Nunnellee Sr in the census below...
1870 Lauderdale Co MS/Meridian/HH 558-558/pg 56a
(25 Jul 1870)
NUNELLY, Walter H /HH/wm age 38 AL
Nunelly, Amanda /wf age 28 TN
Nunelly, Mary E /wf age 14 MS
Nunelly, Franklin /wm age 12 MS
Nunelly, George /wm age 14 MS
Nunelly, Wily /wm age 07 MS
Nunelly, Sarah /wf age 04 MS
Nunelly, Louise /wf age 03 MS

Walter and Amanda married 24 Jun 1870 Lauderdale Co MS and just 1 day before the 1870 census was taken.
However, Amanda 1st married a "Mr Nunnelee" so I do not know whether James was Walter or Amanda's son ???
I am certain, however, that Amanda's 1st husband was Walter's brother because..........
(a) 1880 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 62-86/pg 4a
(03 Jun 1880)
NUNLEY, Walter H /HH/wm age 50 AL/Ga?/Ga?

Nunley, Martha S /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<
Nunley, Louiza /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<

(b) 1900 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 279/pg 329a
(25 Jun 1900)
NUNNELEE, Walter H /HH/wm age 67 born Mar 1833 AL/Ga/Va
+ married 29 yrs
Nunnelee, Amanda /wife/wf age 67 born unk TN/Tn/Tn
+ 1 of 4 chn lvg
NUNNELEE, George L P /NEPHEW/wm age 39 born Sep 1860 <<< MS/Ga/TN + single

I do not know who Walter or Amanda's parents or siblings are
but because of the surname spelling Nunnelee and Nunnellee I am certain that Walter is a descendant of James Franklin Nunnelee or Walter Franklin Nunnelee both sons of William Womack Nunnelee and Ann [Franklin].

My money is on Walter's middle name being Hubbard or Hampton and that his parents were Martha [Terrell] and Simeon Nunnelee son of James Franklin Nunnelee son of William Womack Nunnelee and Ann [Franklin].

1850 Washington Co AL/HH 196-190/pg 340a
NUNNELEE, Simeon /HH/wm age 48 Ga
Nunly, Martha /wf age 50 Ga
Nunly, Hampton /wm age 19 Ga <<<
Nunly, Hubbard /wm age 17 Ga <<<
Nunly, Mary A /wf age 14 Ga
Nunly, William E /wm age 10 Ga
Nunly, Perry /wm age 08 Ga

...................................................
One last item, Walter received a CSA pension :
"W. H. NUNNELLEE applied for a Confederate pension from Bradley Co AR in 1908, citing his service in Co D, 20th Mississippi Infantry. His application was approved on August 6, 1908. Amanda Nunnellee also applied for a Confederate pension from Bradley County in 1912, stating that her husband had died on August 10, 1911. Her application was approved on August 8, 1912. The PENSION record file NUMBER is 4039."

If anyone can share any information on the ancestry or descendants of this "orphaned" Nunnellee family I would deeply, deeply appreciate it.

Since coming to Pine Bluff in 1914, he had been connected with insurance activities, and was a former representative of the Cooperative Burial and Life Insurance Company.

"W.H. NUNNELLEE enlisted in Company "D" 20th MS" - did he ???

Kathye_Upham — 12 Jan 2008 1:34:40 GMT

I need some help with the most misspelled surname ever....
............ NUNNELEE (the rarest of all spellings)

The following list of soldiers is from the online soldiers and sailors site > http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfm
The first 4 names are undoubtedly the same man and possibly the 5th man is too and he's the soldier I'm interested in:
William H. NUNNELEE > Co D 20th MS Inf CSA
W.H. NUNNLEE > Co D 20th MS Inf CSA (aka William H. NUNLEE)
W.N. NOMLEY > Co D 20th MS Inf CSA (aka William N. NANNELEE)
W.H. MUNLER > Co D 20th MS Inf CSA (aka William H. NUNNELEE)
W. MINNELLE > 20th MS Inf CSA
A. MUMLEY > Co E 20th MS Inf CSA

I am trying to identify Walter H. NUNNELEE born abt 1833 AL
married Amanda [unknown and per the 1910 census she had been married before] about 1869 most likely in MS
1850 - not found yet
1860 - not found yet
1870 Meridian, Lauderdale Co MS as Walter H. NUNELLY
1880 Pennington, Bradley Co AR as Walter H. NUNLEY
1900 Pennington, Bradley Co AR as Walter H. NUNNELEE
1910 Pennington, Bradley Co AR as Walter H. NUNNELEE

On the Bradley Co AR GenWeb list of civil war soldiers I found the following:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~arbradle/military/civil_war4.html
"W.H. NUNNELLEE enlisted in Company "D" 20th Mississippi serving from 1861-1865. Wife Amanda. He died Nov 10, 1911."

1st QUESTION > Did the "W.H. NUNNELLEE" service information come from his or his wife's pension application?
OR, was the information found on soldier "W.H. NUNNLEE" assumed to be Walter H. Nunnelee but isn't ?

2nd QUESTION > Was "W.H. NUNNELLEE" Walter or William ? There were NO other Nunnelee's (any spelling) in Lauderdale Co MS or Bradley Co AR when Walter and his family lived there and according to the census he could not read or write..... so where did he come up with the very rare spelling N-u-n-n-e-l-e-e ... (did a family member spell it for him?) or (was the census taker familiar with that spelling...not too likely as the closest Nunnelee's lived all the way across the state)

3rd QUESTION > Walter's wife Amanda died Nov 1916 in Bradley County .... does anyone know where she or Walter are buried?

FYI ... I descend from a long line of Walter Nunnelee's so it's very important to me to identify the man who died in Bradley Co AR..... perhaps he was orphaned young as there were never any recognizable family in the places he lived?

oil wells in Bradley County AR

Nancy Martin — 26 Oct 2005 12:07:47 GMT

Yes, there was as least one natural gas well in southern Bradley County at Vick. The well has been capped for several years, but I own a share of it. My great grandfather owned it. He also had a hotel and sawmill at Vick (and if my memory serves me right a store). As a child I was told that it was capped due to the mosquitos that like to breed in the salt water.

Graves of Eliza Ann Browder and Children

mbrowder53190 — 26 Nov 2007 6:29:49 GMT

I am searching for information on the graves of Eliza Ann Browder and her 4 children. She and her husband, Martin Van Buren Browder, left Florida and headed to Texas about 1874. Allegedly, Eliza and 4 children died of swamp fever along the way. I can find no documentation, explaination nor reasoning as to why they were in Arkansas. Family lore says that Martin buried his wife and 4 children in a "common grave" and fenced it off with cypress wood. He then continued on to Texas with his young daughter Belle Matilda. No word as to weather or not he left any other defining information on the grave.

Thanks,

King Earl Forrester

AAnne — 24 Jun 2001 8:49:01 GMT

My grandfather was born in Bradley County, in Warren. His name was K.E.(King Earl)Forrester. His mother was Margret Evaline (Eva) King Forrester. She was married to William F. Forrester. I know they died and were buried in Texas, but Earl and my grandmother- Versie Mae Hairston divorced in the 1920's and we do not know what happened to him. He was born 11/11/1897. He worked for the Arkansas Railroad in Little Rock at the time of their divorce, but no info. is available from the railroad services, as his employment was not lengthy. His mother's maiden name was King, and she named him after her family. She never used her first name and my grandfather used the name Earl -not King. My mother never uses her first name (Olga) Earline Forrester White, I never use my first name, and my son goes by his middle name as well, so it goes back several generations! I have lots of information on the Aults and Kings, but not much on the Forresters. If anyone knows how I can find it, please email.
Thanks,

William L. Harmon MS / AR

FredHarmon36 — 14 Oct 2007 12:11:16 GMT

I am looking for William L. Harmon b. abt 1881 Lafayette County, MS

He is the son of Lee S Harmon aka Levi Smith Harmon Jr and Kate Barry (or Berry) who settled in Bradley and Calhoun Co. Arkansas between 1885 and 1900 from Lafayette County, MS. Lee was a newspaper editor and printer

In the 1900 Warren, AR census his name is written in but crossed out and his two sisters are listed. According to the census the family had three children. William's sisters were Lena K and Mary Myrna. Mary Myrna married a Witherington and I have contacted her descendants. None of them were aware of a brother but they did not really know anything about Lee or Kate's origins or that Lee was really Levi.

Either William died prior to the 1900 census or had possibly already moved out on his own at approx 19 YOA.

All help is appreciated

I was told by my father that his aunt, Katie Sue Overton, was the first female sheriff in Arkansas. I haven't seen any articles about this. She was born in Rison (near Toledo) Cleveland County, Arkansas and was married at least twice, one of her husband's surname being Bondurant. She took her maiden name back though. Does anyone have any information or recollection of her? I believe that she was born in about 1895 and died in the 80's. Thank you.

Cemetery in Bradley Co

mckinz1 — 12 Feb 2007 3:19:57 GMT

I am trying to find out about a cemetery that is located on Lanark Rd between Banks and Gravel Ridge. It only has three headstones in it now but there are sunken places that looks like there may be more buried there. One of the headstones is Allen Cox. The other two are of the small children of Henry M & Amanda C Dailey (Daley).
Does anyone know the name of this cemetery or if there is a record of it and who else is buried there?
Thank you,
Carolyn
