After the Civil War, the bodies of soldiers were re interred in National Cemeteries. A detail was taking bodies from Batesville to Little Rock when flooding prevented them from going beyond Duvalls Bluff, Prairie County. The records indicate that these bodies were placed in gravesites at Duvalls Bluff.
Is there a record of this and a location?
Any sssistance would be appreciated.

POW/MIA Korean War, Prairie Co. EVANTS

powmiadna — 7 Jul 2007 11:36:52 GMT

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

Soldier: BOBBIE EVANTS
Born: August 2, 1930. Caucasian
Date of loss: Feb. 13, 1951. 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 Prairie 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.

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.

Charnick Wilson McMullen (b: 1832 in Georgia) died 4-17-1898 and buried in Hardshell Cemetery near Hazen. Married Nancy A. Connelly 7-05-1865 in Barbour County, Alabama. Charnick or Charnica McMullen had at least 2 children (John and Mary) with his first wife (unknown) and at least one daughter (Lula who married David Newton Holmes) born in 1865 with Nancy.

Sanford and Sarah (Phillips) Carter

jbphillips_2001 — 4 Nov 2005 5:41:16 GMT

Hi, I am following the family of Sanford and Sarah Ann Phillips Carter. I found them in the 1900 Prairie county, Arkansas census along with one child, Charles A. Carter. Two other children also appear in this census, Mallie Jane (Carter) Roper and William A. Carter. There may even be more. I am looking for what happened to Sanford and Sarah after 1900 because they seem to vanish.

Sanford Carter Jr.
Born : March 1850, Itawamba County, Mississippi
Died : After 1900

Sarah Ann Phillips
Born : Sept 1846, Tennessee
Died : After 1900

Both the Roper and William A. Carter families moved back to Mississippi but there is no evidence of Sanford and Sarah moving back.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks!

James and Effia BUCHANAN, 1840s Coosa Co., AL; 1850 Prairie Co. AR

Gerald Buchanan — 4 Jun 2004 7:46:01 GMT

Looking for any information about James Buchanan, born bet. 1790-1800 SC and lived near present day Wetumka in what was then Coosa Co. AL in 1840. James owned land in T19 R18E S14-15 on both sides of the Coosa River, north of Wallsboro. He seems to have died before 1850 because his wife Effia (born c1799 NC) had moved to Prairie Co., AR where she is listed in the 1850 census. I know they had at least five children: Mary (c1827), William (c1829), Ann (c1832), John (c1836), and Uphemia (c1839) because these are all listed in Effia's household in 1850. All of them seem to disappear off the planet after 1850. I believe James and Effia to be the parents of my great-great-grandfather J. Charles "Charley" Buchanan (1826 AL - 1890 TX). Finding Grandpa Charley's parents has been a two-decade brick wall, so I'd be especially grateful for any clues and James and Effia
and any of their descendants. Many thanks for your help.

YOUNGMAN BIBLE

CharlesDMiller531 — 18 Dec 2004 8:29:18 GMT

I understand that there is a YOUNGMAN Bible somewhere in this county or state that pertains to my mother's YOUNGMAN family. Her grandfather, John YOUNGMAN, b 1836, IN was married 3 times. The 2nd wife Sally/Sarah (JACKSON) YOUNGMAN was the mother of George Samuel YOUNGMAN, b 1872, Howard Co,IN. Sally evidently died sometime between 1873-1880 because John shows up in Davidson Co, TN with wife #3 Julia (MARTIN) and sons Charles E. from the 1st marriage and George S. By 1900, John and Julia are in Prairie Co, AR where Julia dies before the 1900 census is taken. Enumerated with John are Robert Lee (son by Julia), George S. and Helen F (George's daughter/my mother).
All I want is info about what happened to Sally/Sarah - date of death and cemetery where buried. If anyone has any clues or access to the YOUNGMAN bible, it would be a wonderful gift for this ol' gal who is not getting any younger and would love to fill in my grandmother YOUNGMAN's chart! Thank you for any assistance!

Goin/Nelson Marriage

Donna — 11 Feb 2004 11:52:20 GMT

Does anyone have any record, census, marriage, death, or birth of my Greatgrandmother Carolyn Nelson.???
She is listed as my grandmother's Mother on my grandmother's application for a social security number.
My grandmother, Birdie Mae Goin Sorrels, was born in 1896, and said that her mother died when she was young. Her parents, Carolyn Nelson and John James Goin were from DesArc, AR according to the ss application that my grandmother filled out.
Several people have sent me the ancestral line of John James Goin, but no marriage is listed at all.
Supposedly after her mother died, her father was raising her along with her mothers brother, when her father also died "when she was young".
I assume John James Goin and Carolyn Nelson were living in Des Arc Prairie Cty during the year 1896 when my grandmother was born.
Any help would be so appreciated.

Tammy — 25 Jun 2004 12:50:44 GMT

I am looking for information on my great, great Uncle John Novak and his wife, Anna. John was born about 1852 in Bohemia and had a farm in Hazen, Arkansas. His wife was born about 1856. I found them in the 1920 census and it listed 4 children (Louis 1890, Mary 1882, Charles 1895, and John 1880). John and Anna were married in Illinois and their children Mary and John were born in Illinois. The other two children (Louis and Charles) were born in Nebraska, so evidently they spent some time there as well.

I beleive John Novak Sr. had 5 siblings: Frank, my great great grandfather, born about 1856, Joseph born about 1850, Annie born ?, Mike born ?, and Jim born ?. I am interested in parents names, and birth, death, and marriage dates for any of these individuals, however any info at all would be great. I can be reached at tvkenn@aol.com.

Can anyone help me find information about my ggm. My information is scanty. Her name was Sallie Johnson (or variations). She married Morris Fennell in 1888 (Union Co.). She died around 1899. She is reported to be Cherokee or part Cherokee, "adopted" as in infant by the Johnson family. Possibly "Trail of Tears".....????
