John and Harriet (Beirne) Edwards

JulsGo — 2 Jul 2008 3:55:03 GMT

Hello everyone. Looking for information on John and Harriet Edwards... They were married around 1885-1886, presumably in Illinois (Jersey County area).

In the 1900 and 1910 census, they are living in Clark County. In 1900 they were living in Gordon Twp and in 1910 they were living in Missouri Twp.

In the 1900 census, their son, Henry (b. Feb 1890) is living with them. It is also stated that Harriet has given birth to 2 children, with one living (being Henry).

I have a speculated death for Harriet as 11 Jun 1924 but have not found documentation or a source for this date...

I am not able to find either of them in the 1920 or 1930 census...

Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated... Trying to find death dates and burial places...

HELP PLEASE! CLARK FAMILY HISTORY .... ROBERT CLARK SON OF DORIS MANHATTAN CLARK AND WIFE CALLIE OR CAROLINE LISTON...

NormaJohnsonStewart — 24 May 2008 5:24:49 GMT

LOOKING FOR THIS ROBERT CLARK OR DESCENDANTS.......ROBERT CLARK IS THE SON OF DORIS MANHATTAN CLARK AND CALLIE OR CAROLINE LISTON......

I also called the funeral home in LOUISANIA who handled Callie CLARK and they said Callie and DM are buried together in the Old Crowley Cemetery on the Protestant Side. They were nice but it was a little difficult because they only began keeping decent records in the late 1960's! They assured me that there was not a website, phone or person who I could contact at the Old Cemetery and that the City Hall takes care of it. The only reason they had what they had was some lady walked through and listed the names for them. They DID say that Callie's survivor in 1941 was her son Robert CLARK of Texarkana, Arkansas. He's probably dead by now but I have to start researching him now! They had nothing on DM except that he was buried with her.

Crowley is between Lafayette and Lake Charles, LA.

The WWI Draft Registration gives his date of birth as 3/1/1876.

I did find information on his wife, Callie. Her name was Caroline LISTON who was born 7/1878 in Mississippi. I located her family beginning in 1850 in Choctaw Co., MS. They were there in 1860 and 1870, too. By 1880, the family was in Attala Co., MS and in 1900 and 1910 they were in Acadia Parish, LA. Callie's father was William T. Liston, bn 1/1847 in Alabama. His wife was Fanny [Unknown] who was born 10/1849 in MS. William's parents were Martin LISTON, ca 1799, VA and Elmina Caroline [Unknown], bn ca 1818 in GA. By 1870, Martin LISTON was apparently deceased. In 1910, William T. Liston was remarried. Fanny apparently died between 1900 and 1906. In 1910, William was the owner of a shop in Acadia Parish. Some of Callie's siblings were Ora, Luella [married a Wyatt], Martin, Dessie [?] and Albert. Siblings of William LISTON were Henry, Robert C. Susanah T., Mary, Martin and Hiram J.

DORIS MANHATTAN CLARK WAS MARRIED TO FIRST WIFE ANNA IN LOUISVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, KY......

WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE RELATED OR COULD HELP WITH THIS......

thomas grant coker family ties

sue marsh — 10 Jul 1999 12:00:00 GMT

I have a letter from Thomas Grant Coker, dated 1886. It mentions Ed Davis and Walter Corley.
We do know that our Cokers married Corley"s.
I see on the net, Davis/Coker connections, but do not have a connection for our Coker line. Believe it is there. But can't make the tie.
Thomas Grant Coker moved to Amity, AK with Nancy (White)Coker, widow of John Wesley Coker. TG came from Coosa County, AL.
Thomas Grant's mother was Mary B. b. ca 1790, maybe SC or GA. His father was b. SC, probably, ca 1785. Father was killed by Indians 1833, maybe in moving Indians over trail of tears, himself part Indian.
We do kno know his father's name.
Seems that we are related to the Coker/Davis connection to me, but can't make the link.
Thanks, Sue Marsh

Captain John Carr, Seminole War, Widow's app for Bounty Land

ldffly1 — 22 Oct 2007 8:18:51 GMT

Hi!

I'm in possession of the "Claim of Widow for Bounty Land" of the widow of Capt. John Carr. The application was made from Clark County, AR by Sarah Ann Stewart(d) Carr.

Capt. John Carr served in the 2nd Seminole War as part of the Alabama Cavalry about 1840-1842. Capt. John Carr was born about 1806 in Oglethorpe County, GA. He is described as having been 5'11", high fair complexion, blue eyes, and dark hair. He married Sarah Ann Steward in Calhoun County, AR on January 11, 1852. His first wife was Martha Shackelford. He married Martha in Montgomery County, AL about 1828. Martha died in Ouachita County, AR about 1845. John Carr himself died in Clark County, AR on Dec. 8, 1875.

The interesting part of this application is that there is a note stating that it was consolidated with #92937. That is the number of the land bounty application for my 4th gr grandfather John Carr of Jackson County, AL and later of Carroll County, AR. So the widow's application came to me as part of the land bounty application of my 4th gr grandfather John Carr. To the best of my knowledge, there is no blood relation between Capt. John Carr and my 4th gr grandfather.

If anyone out there is related to Capt. John Carr, I'd be glad to correspond.

Asahel Clark s/o Stephen, b. c1778, prob Rutland County VT

Jim-Almquist — 17 Aug 2007 6:38:53 GMT

I am trying to trace back from my 3rd great grandmother, Lucy (CLARK) HALL, b. Rensselaer, NY 26 Feb 1816. Her parents were Asahel (Ashbel?) & Wyntie BRIES of Rensselaer or Albany, NY. Wyntie was d/o Hendrick BRIES and Adriaantja / Andriana VINHAGEL.
There seems to be a Stephen Clark family in Rutland County, Vermont that traces back many generations, but my brick wall is linking "my" Asahel Clark to Stephen and "my" Asahel to Wyntie Bries.
It appears that they were married in 1799 and probably in the area of Renssalaer or Albany County, New York. They apparently lived in Washington County (later Warren County) NY in the period 1810-1820+. They may have moved to Jefferson County, NY, where Lucy Clark married John HALL in 1837.
I would appreciate a "jingle" from anybody that knows of this family.
TIA, Jim

Buck family connections

MissLata2 — 21 Jul 2007 3:53:23 GMT

Hello. I want to update you on the latest. Please check the Buck surname family web site.
There is a posting there about the Lost Colony of Virginia
from in 1587.
Well, all of those Buck families who came out of North Carolina meaning Pitt and Beauford County are # 3 on the list of surnames who descended from these people.
The first is Elks and they would have been the last of the full blooded Indians that these people went to.
Please run a search for the Lost Colony. You will find that the main site is Buck Ridge which is right there on the edge of Pitt County and Beauford County. The searchers and researchers are having wonderful results.
I am quite serious about this, so do check if the ancestor originally originated in North Carolina. More than likely if yours came through Tennessee, they are part of the bunch especially if the kin had been in Shelby County, Tenn. which is the Memphis area.
If your bunch was in Penn., etc. by chance, then they did not connect to the crew out of North Carolina.
This relates only to Bucks from North Carolina.

I am the gg grandchild of Emily Buck Bayne, ( a child of Frederick Buck) and who was born in Pitt County in 1819.
Emily died in Lonoke County, Arkansas on June 30, 1900.

Rebecca Gossett Henton, Amity, Clark County 1900

lblanke907 — 12 Jun 2007 12:45:25 GMT

I am looking for the burial place of my 2nd great grandmother Rebecca Henton. She is listed in the 1900 census for the area living with Andrew and Sarah Rush and their children. She is not listed in the 1910 census so one must assume she had died between 1900 and 1910. She was born April __, 1821 in South Carolina. Her maiden name was Gossett-parents were Abner and Nancy. Any help would be appreciated in locating where she is buried.

Need information on Rev. W.J. Hilton

susiedent — 21 May 2007 3:21:06 GMT

The Rev W.G. Hilton performed the marriage ceremony for my Great Grandparents Rev. W.A. Fitzgerald of Point Cedar and Louise Jane Dillard of Amity, AR. The ceremony took place on Sept. 11, 1879. I think the ceremony may have been at the old Westlyan Chapel Methodist Church at Point Cedar but I have no real evidence of that. I'm trying to trace Rev. W.G. Hilton in hopes that I can learn at which church he may have been a minister. I know that my Great Grandmother Louisa may have attended the old Bethel Baptist Church near Glenwood, AR but one of her sisters and a brother (I think) were members of the Wesleyan Chapel Methodist Church. She met W.A. Fitzgerald when she attended church with her sister in 1878 or 79.
I appreciate any information to lead me to the identification of Rev. Hilton and his church. Susie

Nancy Buck Hickman m. William M.

gsdmoonshadow — 21 Feb 2007 4:31:49 GMT

Nancy Buck Hickman moved to TX and can be found on the 1910 Ellis County, TX census listed as grandmother . She is living with her Grandson and his wife, John Rosser & Albie Hickman. John Rosser Hickman is the oldest son of Thomas Henry Hickman - nancy & William M Hickman's son who was born in 1861-62.
There is a mistake in the transposing of this census and though they list nancy as a grandmother they list her age at 13 - DUH!!! It looks like 73 to me. If this is correct then Nancy was born in abt. 1837. This would mean she was about 14-15 when she married William in 1851. The confusion over dates still continues on this line!
I can't seem to find John Rosser in the next census of 1920 to see if nancy is still around but in 1930 she was not listed as living with him anymore.
Nancy is buried in the Waxahachie City Cemetery along with many of the Hickman's. Her grave stove did not give dates of birth & death but rather how long she lived.
Thomas Henry Hickman was my great grand father.

The story is that he had a son,Victor. in 1905 with Addie Cummings. By 1910 Addie has remarried.Addie and Victor was listed as a Nisbet's in the census. The 1920 census of Victor Hittle seems to support that 1910 census story.

Lewis Crittendon

bogeysone — 1 Oct 2006 7:26:06 GMT

I am looking for information on Lewis Crittendon and wife Sarah Simmons Crittendon who lived in Clark County Arkansas in 1880. My greatgrandfather was Joe Simmons and I think Sarah might be his sister. Lewis and Sarah were listed in the 1880 Census with their children: Luta/Ludia, Eyha, Carrie, and Letha. If anyone has any information on this family I would love to know more about them.

Thank you.

Henry Beggs, b. 1860, Clark Co. AR -- possibly son of Isaac Dudley Beggs

aawhite112 — 20 Aug 2006 6:04:41 GMT

I am looking for information on my Gr.Gr.Grandfather, Henry Beggs, born 12 Mar 1860 in Clark County AR, died 19 Oct 1939 in Nevada County AR. He married (1) Martha Moore Clark in 1883, then (2) Caroline (Carrie) Harrison in 1889.

With Martha Moore Clark, Henry had at least one daughter, Mary Priscilla Beggs. She married James Edward Schoonover.

With Carrie Harrison, Henry had at least 8 children - Olive, Alvin, Alta, Annie, Ethel, Minnie, Arabelle, and Florence. Ethel Beggs was my Gr.Grandmother; she married Charles Marshall White.

I am desperately seeking information regarding Henry Beggs' parentage. One of my relatives has told me that Henry Beggs' parents were Henry Beggs and Amanda Manning. But I have found other information to indicate that his parents were Isaac Dudley Beggs and Mary Ann Mahala Nelson. I am very confused about this, and would greatly appreciate any information that might help clarify things.

Thank you.

Arkadelphia, March 16, 1952 - "Mrs. Rosella Edwards of Arkadelphia was 90 years old today. Asked what her recipe for long life is, Mrs. Edwards said, "I eat all I can and behave myself."

Sarah Wingfield & Archnard Stroud

revolverone — 14 Jun 2006 7:40:44 GMT

Hi, I am looking for information on Sarah Wingfield who married Archnard Stroud on July 27, 1848 in Clark County. I have tons of research on the Wingfield family of Clark County, but none of the researchers have identified my Sarah. She was born about 1832 in Arkansas and died around 1853. She had two children Margaret Elizabeth Stroud and Benjamin C. Stroud. Archnard remarried in 1854 to Mary Hasley. I know she belong to one of the Wingfields in Clark County, but which one? Any help would be appreciated.

Clark County, Arkansas African-American Cemeteries Online

blp3rd — 20 Sep 2006 5:49:08 GMT

In April of 2006, I submitted to rootsweb.com and Arkansas Cemeteries a total of 20 Cemeteries listed as being African-American (AA), burials will be up to approx 1982. By going to the below sites you will be able to access the cemeteries:

http://www.rootsweb.com/~arcemete/clark/clark.htm

Go to "Cemetery Names":

African-American Cemeteries will be listed as being AA. Then go to "Status", click on it.
You will be taken to the individual AA cemetery and listings of persons buried there up to approximatley 1982.

Alternate search - same site:

Go to "African American Interment Index" by Bennie L. Phifer III, near the top of the page, click on it.

This will take you to the AA Interment Index for all 20 AA cemeteries. You then search by the First letter of the Surname (Last Name), and it will search all 20 AA cemeteries for the Surname alphabet letter (Ex: P)

http://userdb.rootsweb.com/regional.html#Arkansas
Go to "Jump to State/Region; "Click" on Arkansas; Go to "Clark County", where you will find a listing of 20 AA cemeteries in Clark County, Arkansas. By clicking on the cemetery, you will then be taken to a site that allows you to search for your ancestor(s).

Hope this is of some assistance to other researchers, please contact me with any additional AA Cemeteries not listed or additional information on any AA Surnames listed as buried in Clark County, Arkansas cemeteries.

GOLDEN families of Clark County

karen3147 — 13 Oct 2002 10:31:22 GMT

The surnames listed are allied to the Golden family/families I am researching in Clark Co., AR, and Independence Co., AR.
On the 1850, Clark Co., AR, census, p. 215
Eli Golden, 45, farmer, b. SC
Rebecca, 36, F, KY (this was Rebecca Minyard)
Emaline, 13, F, AR
Sarah Jane, 10, F, AR
James, 7, M, AR
Isaac, 6, M, AR
Mary Ann, 6, F, AR
Elijah, 2, M, AR
Isaac, 70, M, SC (probably the elder Eli's father)
Eliza Jane, 9, F, AR (by listing "out-of-order," the census indicated that she was probably not a daughter of Eli & Rebecca -- she may have been a daughter of another son or even Isaac, Sr.'s daughter by a late-in-life marriage -- she was the 2nd wife of Archibald Nichols, whose first wife died in Clark Co. and was Adaline Sparks).

Is anyone connected to this line in some way. I have a lot more info to share.

Tucker Family in early to mid 1800s in Arkansas?

rooke194 — 30 Aug 2006 5:40:11 GMT

I am looking for a John, Thomas or possibly Alfred TUCKER that might have been living in Arkansas before 1845. The Tucker I am looking for might have married an Elizabeth Badeau from LA or MS. At one time we thought we had them connected to Jane Humphry, but that is not correct.
John Jefferson Tucker was born in 1845 in McComb, MS, the son of the above query.J.J. Tucker married (in 1875) Anneta Whitcomb of Covington St. Tam., LA. JJ. and Anetta named one of their sons, Thomas Brinsfield Tucker. There might be a Brinsfield connection. We are having a devil of a time finding out about his parentage. Family lore is very confusing and contridictory!
HELP, HELP, HELP!
Thanks,
