JamesPeterson27 — 4 Aug 2002 5:54:24 GMT

I am trying to do most of the families that lived around Philadelphia and the Burnt Bridge Road area. This includes Petersons, Grants, Dodsons, Maness', Wilkersons, Camps, Elmores, Bass, and all the rest. If you have or had kin in this area I would like to share info. This is a never ending chore, but it sure is fun.

Souter, Shackelford, Mavity

Diane — 7 Nov 2001 3:37:41 GMT

My grandmother's maiden name was Mavity. She was born Oma Marie Mavity. Father was George or Henry Mavity and her mother was Susie Love Shackelford. These families lived in Columbia County, Arkansas in the late 1800's and early 1900's. My grandmother was born in 1910 and they were supposedly there then. My father was William Souter Plumlee and I was always told that Souter was a family name but I do not know how the Souters are related. I would like to check this out. Anyone with any ideas? I have very little information on this side of my family. Thanks!

seems to be 2 Frankie Bonners in Columbia Co.

Ann H. Bonner — 30 Sep 2002 8:35:30 GMT

Yesterday I posted Frankie Bonner m 16 Oct 1887 Richard Greene Grant. After an evening and morning of internet letters, I conclude there are 2 Frankie Bonners. The one who married R. G. Grant is apparently NOT the one who is the daughter of Joseph Frank Bonner d 1895 and Sophronia Mangum d 1919 , whose children are : Dora; Frances "Frankie"; Lorena m Will Martin and lived in Levelland, Texas; Emma m Wm. H. Britt; Mattie m James A. Slappy; and Joseph Howard Bonner m Charlie Slappy. The latter are my husband's grandparents. The Bonners and Mangums were from GA/AL but came here from Trinity and Polk Counties, TX. On 1880 Columbia Census; can't find in 1870.

Brady Family

Fern Poe Davidson — 7 Feb 2005 7:13:45 GMT

On the 1870 Federal census there was a Frances M. Brady
and family living in Harrison township of Columbia county.
He was listed as being 28 years old and born in Arkansas.
His wife was Theresa - age 38. Children were Robert -14,
Mary -12, James -3 and William -2.
Probably the two older children were not actually Bradys,
but most likely step-children of Frances M.
Would love to hear from anyone that might have any
knowledge of this family. Was unable to locate them in
1880. Thanks

Free colored of Coumbia County, 1860

Theodoris — 21 May 2007 2:59:01 GMT

Reading the unpublished thesis of Glenn G. Martel , "Early Days of Columbia County", the following appeared on page 227 of the reprint I was reading:
"In 1860 the county had a total population of 12,449 of which 3.509 were slaves, 30% of these being mulattoes. There were 5 free colored people in the county at that time".... Can anyone tell me who those five people (or heads of household) were? Is there a known source that I may use to find the names of the free colored people of the county at that time?

Trying to locate Raymond Fawbush (not sure of spelling. He lived in Magnolia around the mid to late 1950's. Was born around 1945-46 ?? His family left and moved and I think his Mother's new married name was Parker.

Berry Query, Waldo Arkansas

dougma — 25 Jan 2008 7:06:26 GMT

Need any information on the late Olden Berry from Waldo AR. Mr. Berry died February 17, 1995. I believe he was on staff of a local Gospel Radio Station - Haynesville/Magnolia Highway location - and later Springhill LA.

Any clues, names' of family members, neighbors, Church affiliation, Funeral Home that provided service - would be appreciated. I have nothing to start with - with the exception of a statement he made relative to possible kinship to Berrys from Louisiana.

Thanks,

Dougma

Graves of Eliza Ann Browder and Children

mbrowder53190 — 26 Nov 2007 6:32:44 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,

Vickie

JACOB AND EDNA BROWN, COLUMBIA, AR

angieblv — 30 Jul 2007 8:18:57 GMT

I am looking for any information about the relatives of my Great-Great-Great Grandparents Jacob (Jake) and Edna (Rose) Brown. They lived in the townships of Magnolia and Calhoun in Columbia, Arkansas. This is what I have so far:

Jacob (Jake) Brown was born about 1827 in Kentucky and Edna (Rose) Brown was born about 1844 in Georgia. The census reports for the years 1870-1910 show the following:

In 1870, they lived with their children (John and James Rayford) and Jacob's mother-in-law (Patsey Rose). The race of everyone was listed as "White" except for Patsey Rose listed as "Black"

In 1880, they lived with their children (John, Delia, Davie, Peggie, Henry, Samuel, and James Raford-stepson) and Jacob's mother-in-law (Patsey Hetower). The race of everyone was listed as "Black"

In 1900, they lived with their children (Sam, Joe, and Solomon) and mother-in-law (Patsey Rose). The race of everyone was listed as "Black"

On the 1910 census, a transcription error was made. Jake Brown was listed as John Norman, Edna Brown as Edna Norman, Samuel Brown as Samuel Norman and Thomas Brown-nephew as Thomas Norman. I did inform Ancestry.com about this error

General John Porter McCown

famfive_1 — 10 Mar 2007 2:50:06 GMT

I am researching an article for The Journal of East Tennessee History. In particular am looking for information concerning Confederate General John Porter McCown. He was born in Tennessee but died in Magnolia, Arkansas in 1879 and is buried there.
A portrait of him (attached file) hangs in the East Tennessee History Center and was the subject of an infra-red study because of the existence of a painting behind his portrait.
It is believed the portrait was painted post mortem from a photograph. Records indicate he left a photograph of himself to Mrs. Clara Davies and to Mrs. S.O. Couch.
If these photographs are still held by the families of these women, I would appreciate hearing from them.
Thank you.

Columbia County cemeteries

Duane Rogers — 5 Aug 2006 5:21:15 GMT

Can anyone tell me if a comprehensive list of Columbia County cemeteries is available anywhere online? I am especially interested in cemeteries in the Dorcheat/Burnt Bridge areas, since I am searching for my maternal great-grandmother, Antonette (Nettie) Barge White, and great-grandfather, William S. White. I think that is where they might be buried.

Thank you.

C.H. Wallace's preacher book

CarlaGreen51 — 18 Nov 2006 12:46:24 GMT

Among my grandfather's things is "The Preacher Book" and an old pocketbook. As I was digging carefully through these things I came across several folded pieces of paper, along with old tax receipts.

On one of the folded pieces of paper it is handwritten in pencil and I believe it reads as follows, with my interpretation in ( ):
"Roy c Dodson borned January 29 1913
died June 8 at six oclock and thirty five minutes am 1916."
(Royce Dodson, born January 29, 1913 & died June 8, 1916 @ 6:35am) Nothing mentioned about the parents.

The surnames listed with the posting are the surnames that are found to have been listed in the book. Some births & deaths and even two "rites of matrimony" dates.

Graham family

Judy Brice — 17 Apr 2006 1:31:09 GMT

I hope there is someone out there who can help me. I am in search of information on my ggrandfather George Graham who was born in Lafayette AR in Sept. 1854. My mother always said he was from Van Buren but that has not panned out. He was married in 1873 in MO and eventually settled in OK where he died around 1904 I think. I keep hitting dead ends and it has become very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.

Old Scrapbook found in Al-Mabel Spradlin m Hubert Warrick

josweethomealabama — 6 Jul 2006 3:10:21 GMT

My husband is a writer for a local paper and this week was given an old scrapbook -?1920's-it has about 50 pictures, newpaper articles, postcards, letters, etc. The lady who gave it to him suggested he might want to write a story on it or if not, just throw it away. She had purchased an old trunk and it was in the trunk. My husband brought it home to me to figure out who it had belonged to, and after going through it with great care, I could never throw it away. This is who I think it belonged to:

Mabel Spradlin b Waldo Ark 1907. Her parents were Frank Spradlin b 1881 and Ila? Edwards? b 1881. Mabel m Hubert Monroe Warrick Nov. 25, 1929. He was b Decatur, Morgan Co. Al. in 1904. In one newspaper article, Mabel Spradlin from Waldo is listed as enrolled at Baptist Hospital School For Nurses. So many of the pictures seem to be of her family from Arkansas. Most the pictures have fallen off the pages and are loose, but on the inside of the front cover are taped pictures of her 3 brothers: Cecil L. Spradlin, Edward Spradlin, and Herbert F. Spradlin all 3 in WWII. There are letters that some of the brothers did not survive the War. Some newspaper articles places them as living in Decatur, Al after the War, and I have found a death date for Hubert Warrick on Nov 1972 Decatur, Morgan Co Al. I want to find a descendant of the Spradlin or Warrick Family and place this scrapbook in their hands.

JoAnne Thomas, Decatur, Al

Looking for cemetery records

dduncand — 18 Feb 2004 7:18:35 GMT

I seem to recall a post (can't find it now) that indicated that there exists a purchasable CD with cemetery listings for Columbia County.

Can anyone tell me whether such a CD exists, and if so, where I can purchase it?

Thanks for any help. I am looking for older listings (pre 1900)

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,
Jana Rooke
