L. F. Burns/ Sarah J. Straughn

Looking for family of L. F. Burns. He was born abt. 1852 in Georgia and was living in Howard, Conway, Arkansas in 1880 with Sarah and a 11 year old boy named Thomas Rochelle. He may have moved to Louisiana by 1910. Any info would be appreciated

Hawkstone Plantation

DonaldHiggins54 — 25 Apr 2008 10:59:04 GMT

Am trying to pinpoint the location of the “big house” at Hawkstone, the antebellum plantation owned by the Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Stout at the foot of Petit Jean Mountain in Conway County. I know pretty well what acreage was involved in the plantation itself, by township, range and section, but would like to find out specifically where the Stout home was. The Goodspeed publications tell us that Rev. Stout had a steamboat landing practically at his front door, and later documents state that all but one of the cypress-log slave cabins caved into the river, so the spot may be in the river today. The site was not listed on any of the plat maps located at the Conway County courthouse, so I seem to be at a dead end, as far as documents go, unless somebody can help. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries this area was also known as the Martin Farm. Many thanks.

HAMMOND in Conway Co. AR

SHAMCOR — 11 May 2006 8:09:03 GMT

Looking for any information on the parents of Elijah B. HAMMOND, b.1860 possibly in Tennessee, d. 1946 and buried in Plumerville Cemetery, Plumerville, Conway Co. Arkansas, m. 18 Nov 1879 in Point Remove Township (Morrilton) to Sarah "Sallie" McQUILLIAMS, d/o Sarah RINEHART McQUILLIAMS and Churchwell McQUILLIAMS.

Is Martha C. HAMMOND, who married Henry McQUILLIAMS (Sallie's brother), the sister of Elijah? Is Elizabeth "Betty" HAMMOND his sister also?? Who are their father and mother?? All were married in Conway Co. just a few months apart and an E.B. HAMMOND sign as "security" and "witness" on their marriage certificates. HELP!!

Also, looking for the burial site and date of death for Sarah RINEHART McQUILLIAMS, wife of Churchwell. She was living with son-in-law, Elijah and daughter, Sallie in 1900 (Arkansas census)at the age of about 82. Have been told of a cemetery in Ada Township that has a lot of Rinehart's, but no Sarah listed in the cemetery books.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(D.M.) Drury "Mack" ALLEN, b. AL 1840-1918, bur. Ada Valley

Mary Allen Brown — 12 Feb 2004 7:56:54 GMT

I am looking for information on the descendants of Drury M. Allen born 1840 in Alabama and moved to Conway County, Arkansas around 1870. He was first married to Martha Higgins in 1872 and had two children with her, McWillie and Frances C. After Martha's death, he married a Mrs. Sarah F. Yarbrough(maiden name possibly Carroll) and had three children, Martha Ada, Charles C. and Walter C. She died in 1886 and he again remarried a Mrs. Mary Morris in 1889. She apparently died before 1900 because she is not listed with Drury and his children in the census. Drury was also known as D. M. Allen and Mack Allen. He died in January 1918 and was buried in Ada Valley Cemetery, Conway Co., Arkansas. Would greatly appreciate any information on this family.

I did find Mary at 18, along with a sister, Ellen (12), living with the Childers family in Morrilton in the 1910 Census. ANY assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance.

I think that William Mahaffey and wife Julia Spivey( Spivy) and children Henry age 6, William S age 4. and John H.age 1 could of possible moved to Coway county.

By 1900 they are in Wallowa county Oregon with Calvin age 16, Annie age 14, Emma age 11, David ge 8 and Mary age 2, all born in Arkansas. Any one have a clue if they were in Conway county?
Henry livesin Oregon but I haven't found a record of William S. or John H. did they die in Arkansas?

Looking for a transcription of burials for the Ada Valley Cemetery, Conway Co., AR.

Also, when is decoration day or cleanup day at the cemetery?

Is there anyone in Conway County AR who'll do lookups?

Henry Franklin JOHNSON, POW/MIA Korean War, Conway Co. AR 1930-1950

powmiadna — 7 Jul 2007 11:09:36 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Conway County, Arkansas as his home of record.

Soldier: HENRY FRANKLIN JOHNSON
Born: September 10, 1930
Date of loss: November 25, 1950. POW

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 17 families in Arkansas that have not been located. There is one family from Conway County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Warren & Sallie (CARDEN) SWEETEN/SWEEDEN 1883

Carolyn Flowers Tucker — 28 Jan 2003 9:34:11 GMT

I am seeking more info or other researchers/relatives of a SUEDEN, SWEEDEN/SWEETEN family or any other spelling variation.

In the 1880 Logan Co. AR soundex there is a white 8 year old male named ?SUEDEN, Harvey b. AR living with a Ben CHISM as a boarder in ?Casin/?Crainville Twp.,city of ?Rogerville, ED 97.

In the 1900 Logan Co. Soundex-
There is a Warren SWEEDEN, b.TX in 1852, age 48, Family living in Roseville Twp.-all other family b. in AR.
-wife Sally,36,son Fate 14, son Warn H.,11, Lulie, Ethel & Ada G. are dau.
Listed as a black family.

In 1910 this same family is in Sebastian Co. AR, listed as a white family..

I have a Conway Co. AR marriage record that fits Warren & Sallie, her maiden name
on there is listed as CARDEN.

My SWEEDEN/FLOWERS folks are found in Conway Co. AR at the time of this marriage.

Harvey?/Harry SWEETEN is first found in Franklin Co AR in 1870 with parents (Thomas & Rachel) listed as white, who die before the 1880 census.

Warren SWEETEN first appears with the same white couple in 1860 Panola Co. TX, age 2.

He is not with them in 1870 Franklin Co.

I am not sure these are the all the same families, mainly due to the 1900 family listed as being black.
But there are enough links for it to be the same.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Carolyn

LEWIS/ SPRUCE Family

carol wilson lopez — 7 Aug 2006 7:59:23 GMT

Does anyone know who the parents of
MARY LEWIS that married W.(William) R. Spruce in 1843 or the parents of W.R.
?????????????????????

They and their family are in Conway Census in 1850 Mary is 32 William 33 they have "Wilson" a Son 8
Margaret-4
Joseph 3/4

The Sister of William (Melinda Spruce Bridges) married Witheral Anderson Wilson so I thought that the name of the Son "Wilson" "fit"
Trying to connect the Lewis and Wilson families-The Father of Witheral was Robert-Robert had a Sister named Jane-Jane married a Lewis and they had to be in Ark (maybe Pope Co) because they and/or their descandents were at several family reunions many years ago but no one knows for sure the name of the man that Jane married and since WR married Mary M. Lewis I thought this might be another connection

Anything anyone can tell me even if it is something they just think or have heard might be of great help

Thanking you in advance
