In Carroll and Benton County Tennessee in 1860s there were
several families who later moved to Cleburne County Arkansas.
I am looking for any Malone family info - thinking I might find the
family of my Anna Jane Malone Mullins Higdon that way.
In 1860 Jane Malone was living with a Norwood family in
Carroll Co Tennessee.
In 1861 she married a James R. Mullins in Carroll Co TN
Oct 1863 her son James Buel Mullins was born
May 1864 James R Mullins died as a prisoner

In nearby Benton County Tennessee was the family of T. Higdon,
and his first wife Dolly Thompson. I have some census records
on this family. His oldest son was in same unit as James R. Mullins,
some of the Norwood men were also in same unit. It was the
7th TN CAV USA.

In 1866 Jane Malone Mullins married T. Higdon in Carroll Co TN.
They moved to his house in Benton Co TN, and had 3 children
Sometime ca 1870s they moved to Van Buren Co Arkansas.
T. Higdon started a ferry across the Little Red River - the town there
was later named after him - Higden, Arkansas.

I have not been able to find the Malone family that Jane comes
from in TN. Perhaps some of her family made the move to Arkansas -
any help out there?

In the 1900 AR census she is living with her daughter and Turney
son-in-law and is listed as Jane Higdon. She was the grandmother
of Mary Ann Mullins Barnum, Leonie Mullins Turney, Jim and James
Mullins. Also the grandmother of some of the Turneys (Ida Turney Nelson Turney -
whose second husband was Robert Abraham Turney of Higden)
and there are connections to some of the Hooten family.

Thank you.
