I am looking for the grave of my Gr-Gr-Grandfather. He name was William Perry
NASH who was born 4, June 1840 in
Hampton,
Henry County,
Georgia and died at the home of his daughter Josie (
NASH)
REED on 6, February 1923, in Hope,
Hempstead County, AR. His wife Martha “Mattie”
NASH died before the 1910 census but I have not found an exact date. According to William’s
Hempstead County Death Certificate he was buried in the “ROBERTSON CEMETERY”. He lived in Arkadelphia and Hope. I have been searching for this final resting place for years. My research has turned up few leads.
I know I am probably grabbing at straws here, but I was wondering if you might know of this cemetery. I am assuming that it was probably an old family cemetery that has been forgotten. I live in
Georgia and have visited Hope several years ago. W.P
NASH had another daughter Carrie
NASH that never married and was a school teacher in the area. She is buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Hope. Other children are buried in Arkadelphia, up in
Clark County. We are having a family reunion of the
NASH family in July, in Chattanooga, TN. I would love to tell the extended family I finally found his burial location. W.P. NASH was a member of Co., F of the 53rd
GA Infantry and received Military Pensions while he lived in
Arkansas.
Thanks!
