Edmond GILLIAM m. MO

Janice Gilliam Reynolds — 22 Feb 1998 12:00:00 GMT

I have information on Edmond Gilliam married in MO with children born in Walnut Ridge, AR and died in Fort Smith in 1901. How was he related to Harris Gilliam b Franklin Co TN 1836? I was told a story about A Gilliam who owned a Blacksmith shop near the river in Fort Smith who went to work one morning and was never heard of again. This was some time before OK was a state. Story supposedly related in the local Historical society magazine. Any information on any Gilliams living there in the post and pre Civil War days could be helpful. Thanks Jan Gilliam Reynolds

Brockman connection to actor Dennis Weaver

BenHardin304 — 20 May 2008 2:28:00 GMT

Looking for an ancestral line of Tishie (nickname?) Brockman said to have been a grandmother of actor Dennis Weaver. She married Marion Weaver in 1864 in Sebastian County, AR. I’m descended from Lucy Jane (Brockman) Spurling (1837-1910), a 4th cousin, 3 times removed to actress Tullulah Brockman Bankhead. Lucy and Tullalah’s ancestors in common included Samuel Brockman (1680-1766). Tullalah’s Grandfather John Hollis Bankhead was buried in Walker Co., AL, an adjoining county to Cullman and Blount counties in AL. I believe some folks who lived in Sebastian Co., AR had roots in the Blount Co., AL and Cobb Co., GA areas.

Calvin L. Young, Certificate of Death

lfaszl — 3 Apr 2008 5:37:38 GMT

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me locate the burial Cemetery for Calvin L. Young in Sebastian. I found this online via the Arkansas Dept. Of Health, Certificate of Death database:

6-16-1922 Calvin L. Young
Vol 036 Certificate: 00973.

Calvin was the brother-in-law of-Kate Hughes-Crosson, the woman who married my gg grandfather, Edward Crosson in Sebastian in 1886. Kate died 1900-1910, and I suspect that she (and possible 4 of Kate and Edward's children) are buried with Calvin. I have been unable to locate any information about Kate. Edward moved back to St. Louis, MO and is buried there.
If I have to, I will order Calvin's death certificate, but I'm not sure if the burial place would be mentioned on it, either. ANY suggestions would be geatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa

Obituary - John Campbell Galloway

kat874 — 25 Dec 2007 9:50:24 GMT

I have a tattered old obit for my ancestor John Campbell Galloway, who died 22 January 1913 at his home in/near Lavaca. It's signed by J. H. O'Bryant. Unfortunately, I don't know what newspaper it's from. I'm looking for a clean copy, along with the critical info on the newspaper, page, and column.

J.C. was apparently very active in his church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in his community, so perhaps there's another obit of him in a church publication. His wife, Henrietta Proctor Galloway, died in 1900.

Any help on finding these obits would be most appreciated!

Grandfather came from Germany to Jenny Lind AR

normastx — 6 Dec 2007 5:39:49 GMT

In 1903 my grandfather, Frank Kahabka immigrated from Germany. On the passenger list, it stated his destination as Jenny Lind, AR. It appeared he was traveling with a couple named Dominkus and Maria Kocher, as their destination was the same as my grandfather, and all three were going to meet a Martin Gruber of Jenny Lind.

What I am looking for is some history about Jenny Lind. My gf was a coal miner. Was this a mining community? And is there any way to find out if my gf worked in the mines, or how long he lived there?

James Walter and Frances "Tenny" Ervin McCormick help!

antiquemll — 8 Nov 2007 2:21:11 GMT

I have exhausted my searches on ancestry.com and rootsweb and I am hoping that someone can help me with this family. I am writing a story about James Walter McCormick was born Feb. 22, 1885 in Sebastian County and was from Mansfield. He grew up to be a Texas Ranger but before that he was a boxer, football and baseball player and after finishing school played with the St. Louis Cardinals for two years. He also was a deputy sheriff and a Canadian Mountie before becoming a Texas Ranger and Chief of Police in Wichita Falls, Wichita Co. Texas.
I am trying to find out who his parents and siblings are.
The 1900 census shows his mother to be Malissa and apparently his father is dead. He had siblings Mollie McCormick, Albert, who is a twin brother, Geroge Franklin b. June 2, 1877 and died Mar 21, 1946 and possibly James Harvey McCormick born Sept. 26, 1879.
I would really like to find out who his parents were, where they are buried and also who his wife's parents were. They were supposed to be wealthy. Her name was Frances Courtney "Tenny" Ervin McCormick. They were college sweethearts and met at a dance at Buckner Baptist College.
Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated!

Charley Ryan -- particulars sought

Pat_in_the_North — 15 Aug 2007 6:44:09 GMT

I've been deep into digging my husband's family roots, and am currently interested in his grandmother Ryan's siblings. She had 9, and I've been successful in tracking death dates on all but a couple, one of which is her brother, Charley B. Ryan. I know he was born in Independence County, in Dec 1882, that he married, that he was a miner in 1930, and that he and his wife lived in Greenwood/Center, Sebastian County 1920-1930. I know he was still living in 1936 because he's listed in his father's obituary, and he was not mentioned in a sister's obit in 1973. I know, from census records, that he and Mary had a daughter (Wilma) and a son (Johnnie), but I don't know when he (or Mary, either, for that matter) died, and where they are buried.

Any help would be appreciated.

If there are those in Charley's family who would like to know more about his forebears, I'm happy to share.

Benning

binkschat — 23 Jul 2007 7:46:47 GMT

I'm trying to locate the burial locations of Rose and Hardin Benning. He was a druggist in Ft. Smith for many years. I don't know what year he died, but Rose died in 1976. I've looked on several sites but am wondering if there is a 'most likely' site...one that would be accepting burials at least up and thru 1976.

Thank you

Mary Zornes/Zorns

hombre — 24 Jul 2007 7:21:36 GMT

Not sure if anyone can help me on this one but really would appreciate any consideration you can provide.

Need a marriage lookup on Mary Zornes/Zorns. In the 1870 censu she is a day servant in the Wiley Irvin household. She is shown as 25 years of age.

After this census record I have found no record on her. It is possible she died but also possible she was married about this timeframe.

I'm hoping someone has easy access to the marriage records and might glance at them to see if she shows up.

Thank you for your consideration.

I'm looking for information on my grandmother she was born December 23, 1924. I'm not sure if she was born in Arkansas, but I believe she grew up in Fort Smith mid 1930's. She was married to Elton Rowlett in 1940. She didn't speak of her growing up years except to say her parents died when she was a baby, and her aunt and uncle raised her, they owned a store, and she went to Fort Smith elementary. If anyone has information on her parents or relatives, how I can find store owners back in the 30's I would appreciate it.

Sebastian County Records question

TreeLeafette — 11 Jul 2007 1:06:21 GMT

I keep reading on different sites that the vital records are kept at the state level since 1914, and that any records earlier than that may have been delayed recorded.

Has anyone had any instances of success in finding records at the county levels around 1850 - 1860 or so?

I am looking for information on my husband's Barber lines, and it appears that his great grandfather was just born out of the thin air in Lavaca in May of 1855. John Nance Barber was born in Lavaca, married in Leon (Franklin), and died in Alma (Crawford). He married Martha Moffett, daughter of Elliot Fletcher Moffett.

A possible sister, Ida A (born 1865) married John T Wilcox and lived in the Boston Mountains area of Madison County before moving to Oklahoma.

He lived his life in that little triangle of area. SOMEWHERE, there has to be a record of his birth or his parents' marriage or his death. Even though he died in 1927, there was no record found in the state office.

I appreciate any guidance anyone can offer! Thanks much in advance, and good luck with all your searches!

POW/MIA Korean War, Sebastian Co. THOMPSON

powmiadna — 7 Jul 2007 11:43:33 GMT

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

Soldier: PHILIP RICHARD THOMPSPN
Born: June 17, 1918. Caucasian
Date of loss: May 18, 1951. MIA

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 Sebastian 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.

William Underwood

Nancy Boyd — 18 Jun 2006 1:43:01 GMT

I am looking for information on William Underwood b. 1853/1853 to Lewis and Rebecca Underwood and wife Amanda Morris Underwood.

The Census for 1850 Hamilton Co. Tnn. Has Lewis Underwood b. 1823 Tnn and Cynthia b. 1828, children Jackson b. 1846 and James b. 1848.

The Census for 1860 Sebastian Co. Ark. has Lewis Underwood age 32 wife Rebecca age 24, sons Jackson age 14, Morrow age 12 and William age 6.

The Census for 1870 Sebastian Co. Ark has Rebecca Underwood age 32, Jackson age 23, Isabella age 27, Martha age 8, James age 5, Indah age 1 and William age 17.

Lewis is not on the census for 1870, possibly he died before the census?

My interest is in William. By 1880 he has married to an Amanda and has a daughter Ida Underwood b. 1874. There is another child in this household, one Phillipp/Philip Morris b. 1865/66 Texas who is listed as Williams’ Stepson.

The Amanda Underwood has trouble with her age, the 1880 census has her age approx. 30 years of age. She is listed on the 1870 Sebastian Co. Ark. Census two doors away from William Underwood’s home, as age 37 which would put her birth abt. 1833.

1870 Census Sebastian Co. Arkansas has
Amanda Morris b. 1833 Tennessee
Children, John age 23 b. Missouri, Sarah age 16 b. Missouri, Rebekah age 14 b. Missouri, Jasper age 10 b. Missouri, and Phillipp b. 1865 Texas.

Amanda’s first husband was Russell Morris b. 1828 Illinois, who is the basis of my research. He was in Taney Co. Missouri 1840 to 1860. Russell apparently died before 1870, possibly Texas or Arkansas.

Any information on this family on William Underwood his wife Amanda, daughter Ida or stepson Philip Morris is greatly appreciated.
