McCoy Family

gishpar — 2 Apr 2008 5:47:17 GMT

Hi:

My great grandparents are listed as living in Montgomery County in Caddo on the 1910 census. John and Sarah C. Rose McCoy were from Wilkes County, North Carolina. They were in Texas about 1902. Now I find them in AR in 1910.
They are with two of their sons, James Wesley and David B. and two grand daughters. Many of my McCoys are buried in the Williams Cemetery in Smith County Texas. I am curious if anyone knows of any descendants of my John and Sarah who might be in AR especially Montgomery or surrounding counties. I am also trying to locate the burial place of John and Sarah McCoy possibly near Caddo Gap or wherever the town of Caddo would have been located.
Thanks,
Patricia Ruskauff

Montgomery Co. Cemetery - Lookup or Identification

Trying to locate cemetery where Kate Smith Cunningham is buried. She died in 1910 in Montgomery County and is supposed to be buried next to her husband, Brice M.V. Cunningham, who was living in Black Springs, Arkansas, and his obituary said he was buried in Black Springs Cemetery. I understand Kate was buried next to him. Her full name was Permelia Catherine Mann Smith Cunningham, and she died in July 1910. Her husband Brice M.V. Cunningham died in 1909. Any information would be appreciated.

Sulphur Springs Cem. - What church?

April Hoover — 9 Nov 2003 8:44:55 GMT

The Montgomery Co. AR cemetery book lists a Sulphur Springs Cemetery (originally Hutchinson Cem.) as being located 17 miles west of Norman, 3 1/2 miles NW off Hwy. 8.

GNIS has a Sulphur Springs church at about that location but doesn't have a Sulphur Springs cemetery listed. My county map book shows a church and cemetery together there. Is Sulphur Springs Cemetery associated with a church? If so, what is the full name of the church?

Thanks,
April Hoover

Need Information on Rev. W.G. Hilton

susiedent — 21 May 2007 3:24:20 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

Arkansas Tucker's

gtucker4623 — 12 May 2007 7:27:19 GMT

Seeking any information regarding two different lines of Tucker families. These two lines have proved to be related thru genetic DNA testing conducted upon myself thru FTDNA (Tucker Group).

George Tucker- b.abt 1750 prob Montgomery, Co, Maryland d.1802/1809 Henry Co, KY. Rev. War Veteran, Virginia replacement to Fort Pitt. discharged Ft. Pitt 1776. Married: Mary Lee Merrifield b.abt 1758 Winchester, Frederick Co, VA, d.1830 Henry Co, KY. Eight(8) children: J. Boothe,Alexander, Clark, Lydia, George II, Greenup, Delilah, Hiram. I descend from Greenup. George and Family appear in census records Nelson Co, Kentucky and later in Henry and Oldham Co, Kentucky.The following Tucker line associated with it's earliest known ancestor residing in Anson/Randolph County,North Carolina:

William Tucker b.c1751 Randolph/Anson Co,NC d.c1811 Randolph Co, NC. Rev. war Veteran. Marriage and Wife unknown.
Jesse Tucker b. 1785 Randolph Co, NC d. 1863 Lawerence Co, Tenn. Marriage and Wife unknown.
Elza W. Tucker b. 1832 d. c1879 Montgomery Co, Arkansas. Believe jesse and Elza are sons of William. Other descendants of William are:

Jesse M. Tucker b.1860 Lawrence Co, Tenn d. 4 April 1930, Montgomery Co, Arkansas
Walter H. Tucker b.1883 d.28 Oct 1931 McCurtain Co, OK.
Jesse M. Tucker b. 1915 Montgomery Co, AR d. 19 Jan 1990 Los Angeles, Calif.

Were George and William first cousins? possibly, no proven records of male siblings to George. George's father I believe, was Richard Tucker b. abt 1720 poss. Maryland (no proven male siblings) death unknown, wife believed to be Elizabeth, maiden name unknown. Proven children of Richard and Elizabeth are : George and Phoebe Tucker. Phoebe married Richard Merrifield brother to Mary Lee Merrifield. The link that ties these 2 Tucker families could be that George and William were first cousins, or it may come before these two,possibly a brother to Richard that migrated into N.C. or even someone befor Richard. My goal is to try and fit the two lines together. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Reply to gtucker46@hotmail.com.

Thank You,

Nanette — 12 Oct 2006 5:33:57 GMT

Recently I started working on my family tree and thought I'd look for "cousins" who might have more info than I do. My mother was a CRAWFORD, her father was Jack CRAWFORD born in 1901 near Black Springs, Arkansas to Harriet COX b. 1875 and George Fleming CRAWFORD b. 1870. I show George Fleming CRAWFORD's parents as John W. CRAWFORD and Nancy Elizabeth BATES.
I have Harriet COX's father listed as Moses Charnock COX, her mother as Harriet Margaret JEFFERY.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?
I'm also going to post on the Polk County board since there was lots of movement between the two counties.
Thanks!

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!

I am looking for information on the children of Julia and Austin. At least one of their sons, George M., was in Falls County, Texas by the 1900 census and continued to live in Falls County through the 1930 census.
Any Logan information would be appreciated and I can exchange Sloan information if anyone is interested.

Mt Ida 1968 MIHS band book

bbauer1 — 19 Jan 2002 2:04:06 GMT

I stumbled on a scrapbook given to a Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Green. It has several pictures of a marching band and individuals (students and adults). Then it has letters and news articles about the start of the Mt Ida H.S. band in 1968, led by Mr. Charles Green, who moved to Mt Ida after retiring from work in Ohio and Indiana. Mr. Green's 2 daughters are listed as Mrs. Charles Jones of Galion, Ohio, and Mrs. Imar Thomson of San Francisco. Mrs. Green was a music teacher at the school. The book lists all the members of the band during 3 years of practice sessions and concerts, from grade 4 to 10. Mr. Green left the band in spring of 1970, his letter of notice is on the last page. I would like to find a more suitable home for this book, and will do lookups while I have it. Please contact me if interested bbauer@blazenetme.net

Town of Mauldin

FW Jordan + Nellie Pennington>EvaLee & James Monroe Jordan

cindywxb — 16 Jun 2003 3:11:25 GMT

I have a lost relative from Cedar Glades AR (Montgomery Co.)

My grandfather, James Monroe Jordan (1915 - 1996) was the son of Nellie Pennington Parker Jordan Balisle. She was married to a Lisnon A."Quill" Parker in the 1910 census and had several children. She then married a "F.W. Jordan" 10-22-1911. They had Evalee in 1913 and my grandfather in 1915. In the 1920 census, Nellie is married to Frank Balisle and my grandfather is listed as 4 7/12 years old and a stepson.

No one is alive that can help me. Family lore is that "F.W. Jordan" went by "Willoulby" (sp? which is on my Grandfather's death certificate), however "Wilburn" is on my Grandfather's delayed birth certificate. He died between 1915 and 1920 in Montgomery Co., AR and was probably born between 1874-1885 in either Arkansas or Louisiana.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am trying to locate the family of my g-grandfather Charles Melton Brown.
Does anyone have any information on this family?
I need to either confirm or eliminate the 'Charlie Brown' above as a
"suspect".

Thanks,

Would appreciate any lookups on Julie Minton and groom last name Breshears/Beshers/Brashears/Brashear/etc.. in either Garland/Montgomery counties or further out in AR if available. Time lines should be late 1800's or early 1900's. Thanks. Larry

I am looking for information on Koger Aldridge. He was born around 1859 or 1860 in Lamar or Fayette County, Alabama or possibly Gattman, MS. His mother was Telitha Rehama Box. He possibly moved to Arkansas. I have found his name listed as being from Hempstead, Howard, Montgomery, Nevada, Pike, Polk, or Sevier counties in Arkansas. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

MINTON-Julie AR/GARLAND/MONTGOMERY COUNTIES

lqclamar — 14 Dec 2003 3:38:06 GMT

Great grandmother was Julie Minton and supposedly she married an Ed Breshears prior to 1905. Julie married a David Robertson in 1905 and marriage license shows both were from Gladstone, Garland County. Julie is listed as Julie Minton Breshears on marriage license with Robertson, but efforts to positively identify Ed Breshears and their union has failed. Any assistance would be appreciated. Also, have been unable to locate any marriage or divorce records on Minton-Breshears union, or death records on Ed Breshears in the area. Thanks. Eva
