Nathan Cox married Elizabeth Buchanan in 1843, Hempstead /Nevada County, Arkansas

CathyStraley53 — 2 Dec 2007 12:22:16 GMT

In Feb 1843 in Hempstead County, Arkansas (in portion that later became Nevada County), NATHAN COX (born 1822 AR or MO) married ELIZABETH BUCHANAN (born 1822-1823 AR or MO). They appear in the 1860 census under Carouse/Redland township in Ouachita County AR (although this township was on the line where Ouachita and Hempstead counties joined and where Nevada was later formed).

They had 4 children (per 1850 & 1860 censuses):
1. Frances M. Cox, born 1843-1844 AR.
2. James A. (or H.) Cox , born 1845-1846 AR; he probably married Jane Gresham in 1890.
3. Mary L. Cox, born 1847-1848 AR; probably married M. B. Clark in 1870.
4. Andrew J. Cox, born 1856 AR.

Also in Nathan's household in 1850's census was his wife's mother and sister--Mary Buchanan (born 1793 NC) and Evaline Buchanan (born 1826).

Elizabeth appears to have died about 1880, and Nathan appears to have married again to Nancy Murphey, daughter of John and Mary Murphey in Sevier County AR. Nathan and Nancy supposedly went to Oklahoma's Indian Territory to live about 1890-1900. There was also a Nathaniel Cox earlier on the 1838 tax list in Sevier County AR, but it's unsure if they are connected.

It is a family tradition that this Nathan Cox is related to my Cox family that was from the same Nevada County AR area and timeframe---the John Cox (born 1787 VA), Abner Cox (born 1805 MO), and Abner's father William Cox. I'm trying to determine how Nathan is connected and more about him.
Thanks!

Mystery pictures possible Sevier Co. connection

aspen189 — 2 Mar 2007 6:18:55 GMT

When my mother died in Broken Bow, OK in 1983, we found a large envelope that contained pictures that appear to be of the same family. No one in my family had ever seen the pictures before and we don't know why they were separated from the other pictures that she had. Since that time I have asked many, many relatives and friends to identify the picture without results. We had lots of Sevier County AR connections. I have posted some of the pictures on my web site at http://pages.suddenlink.net/aspen39/Mystery6.htm Please take a look at the pictures and if you have a clue as to who they might be, please let me know. Thanks

William married Barbara about 1833. The marriage records are missing for 1830-1833. Does anyone know of any records that might give me the maiden name of Barbara. Possibilities are Wyatt, Buchanan, Sloane, Burke and McCraven. William and Barbara are on the 1850 census but I have been unable to locate them after 1850.

Cemetery Look-up: Land family

Krupovich — 28 May 2005 4:14:03 GMT

Have been looking for death dates of great grandparents for ages---and last night, found an index that showed that they are buried in Sevier County, Arkansas.

They lived in the DeQueen area in the first part of the twentieth century.

Would like to request a cemetery look-up so that I can obtain their death dates and the names of the cemetery (cemeteries) they're buried in.

Susan Land died bef or in 1904
M M (Madison Monroe or Matt) Land was her husband.
Charles B (Benjamin) was their eldest of many children.

Arken Clifford Land is unknown to me---but perhaps he was a new-born---which would explain the early death of Susan, my second great grandmother.

Your help would be much appreciated.

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!

Dwloganrd — 10 May 2006 5:53:32 GMT

Looking for what happened to the orphans of Wilson and Martha Baty of Sevier County, Arkansas after 1880.

Probate papers filed in 1877 awarded guardianship of Sissy, Stephen and Catherine Baty to maternal grandfather James McKee.

Adaline (b. 1870), Stephen (b. 1891) and Miram C. (b. 1873) are grandchildren living with James McKee in the Sevier County 1880 Census. Listed in census with surname McKee.

Mary E. Baty b. ~ 1867, living with Wilson, Martha and Adaline Baty in 1870 (perhaps Wilson's daughter from a previous marriage?) was found living as a servant in the household of George Smith in Sevier County.

Wilson's widow, Minerva [Dollarhide] Baty, is living in Sevier County 1880 with sons William (b. 1874), Andrew (b. 1875), and George E. (b. 1877) Baty. Minerva was listed as Administratrix of his estate.

Would appreciate any help.

Hi !

I live in Belgium and have had the opportunity lately to talk to an elderly belgian man who worked for a while in an american field hospital during the battle of the Bulge here during WWII.

This american field hospital was located near famous BASTOGNE

He remembers vividly talking to a GI who had been wounded in action and who came by the name of John J. Jones of De Queen , AR

I was wondering if anybody could find his familly or provide a picture of him and also tell us in which unit he was during this famous battle.

This is a small - absolutely non profit oriented - message, which I hope will find answer.

Thank you very much in advance

cemetery book

MEL — 29 Mar 2006 5:20:02 GMT

Could someone please check the Hays Cemetery book for the location in the cemetery or the plot number of the gravesite of Miller Horne. He died on 12 - 26 - 1930 and according to his death certificate he was buried in the Hay's Cemetery near Clarksville, Arkansas. The cemetery may be listed as the Hay's Chapel Cemetery as it is locatred next to the Hay's Chapel Church. I don't have an address for the cemetery just that it is just outside of Clarksville, Arkansas. I am trying to find where at in the cemetery his gravesite is located. I was down there a few years back and could find no marker so apparently he must be buried in one of the unmarked graves. please e-mail me direct at scorpio@cneconnect.com

Beaty Lynching

I now know Jack Beaty died about the 26 of August, 1910. The newspaper ( Garvin Graphic ) said his body was found Monday August 29 but he died about three or four days before this date. he was hung from a tree in Garvin Twp, McCurtain County,Oklahoma. The story we have is he was buried under this tree. The only other information I have is he may have been born in Missouri. My grandfather Jasper Beaty was told his fathers name was Jack Beaty it is possible Jack may have been a nickname or a middle name his name could have been Jackson or John. The Garvin Graphic newspaper listed his name as J Beaty can anyone place this person in their family tree. Any and all information greatly appreciated.

Mr. J. W. Morlan was the calligrapher of my grandfather's bible which was presented to him in 1917 while he was living in Gillham. Another letter shows J. A. Strickland living in Cheatham in Sept. 1918. I am interested to learn if John Ancel Strickland shows up in the 1920 Census of Sevier Co. and in land or tax records of that period. Any information on Mr. J. W. Morlan would also be appreciated.

John & Mary Murphy born 1799-1804 in SC, died 1875-76 in Sevier Co AR

CathySTRALEY27 — 21 Dec 2005 4:56:26 GMT

My GGG-Grandparents John & Mary Murphy were born 1799-1804 in SC, married in 1820 and died 1875 & 1876 in Sevier Co AR. They had left South Carolina (probably northwestern part of SC) in the 1820s and their daughter (my GG-Grandmother) Melissa Permelia Cecille Murphy was born in Mississippi in 1828 and other siblings of hers may have been born in Louisiana. By 1850, they were in Ouachita / Hempstead County, Arkansas (later became Nevada County), where Melissa Permelia married James Cox. John & Mary Murphy later went on to live in Sevier County AR, but Melissa and most of her siblings did not.

Does anyone have more info about these Murphys in Sevier County, where they lived, where they were buried, who they were kin to there, etc.?? I do know there were other Murphys and also Mulkeys, Greers, etc. in Sevier's area who had also come from SC and were all kin. They were originally Baptist and may have become Disciples of Christ (Christain Church). Any info at all would be greatly appreciated!!

Looking for any connections to the family of William and Mary Goss found on the 1880 Sevier County Census with 2 children

Quincy born 1875 in Illinois
William is listed as 51 years old and being born in Miss.
wife Mary 41 born in Illinois. George H Goss is my direct line.
Cant find any information on William and Mary. It is my belief that Mary was second wife for William as a William that fits this age can be found in Sevier County on the 1860 census.

I am looking for Napoleon Pugh Roberts who died 4 Mar. 1886 or his wife Nancy Jane Hobby Roberts who died 21 Apr. 1929. There is some confusion as to where they are buried. Can someone do a lookup for me and see if they are in this cemetery? Thanks! Julie
