Preceeding and during the Civil War, my family lived in Clark County, Arkansas. Some of them stayed afterwards. My GGG grandmother Fredonia Elizabeth RIGGAN, RAGIN moved to Clark County, Arkansas appox. 1860 with her uncle Tilmon TARVER who got a land grant from Wilson County, Tennessee. Fredonia RIGGAN was the daughter of Marth TARVER and Samuel Harper RIGGAN of Wilson County, Tennessee. She was a member of the New Hope Methodist Church in Hollywood, Arkansas. In 1861, she married Samuel TRIPPE,TRIPP. Samuel TRIPPE,TRIPP was in the Civil War for the South in Arkansas. They had two children Henrietta TRIPPE, TRIPP born in 1862 in Clark County, Arkansas and my GG grandfather Tilmon Valrus TRIPPE/TRIPP born in 1866. Sam TRIPPE died after the Civil War and Fredonia moved back to Wilson County, Tennessee. I don't know where Sam TRIPPE/TRIPP came from or when he was born. I don't know when Sam TRIPPE/TRIPP died or where he died. I do know they all used to live in Clark County Arkansas. I also don't have any documentation to support Henrietta or Tilmon Tripp's birth in Clark County, Arkansas except for Tilmon's death certificate. Any information on the TARVERS, TRIPPE, TRIPPS or the RIGGAN, RAGIN families in Clark Cournty Arkansas would be appreciated
