1900 Census help! Allie Flood

RobertLindsey27 — 25 Apr 2008 3:09:24 GMT

I found my gg-grandmother, Allie Fair (Spence) Flood listed in the 1900 Census, Wheeler Township. In Heritage Quest she is transcribed as Alberta, and it is very hard to read. I am wondering if someone can read it and see who is living with her. It looks like it is a daughter, but the last name I can't figure out, and the first name doesn't match up with what I have.

Delayed Birth Certificates

russtann — 14 May 2008 7:42:14 GMT

HI Everyone:
If a person had a delayed birth certificate how do you go about getting one? I know the original date of birth but no the date of the delayed birth certificate. Do they reference the delayed birth certificate date to the original? Hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

Cemeteries near Lees Creek?

mrstkdsd — 23 May 2008 5:42:23 GMT

I am trying to find out what happened to a family that was last recorded in 1880 Lees Creek, Washington Co., ARK.

What cemeteries would be in the area? Are there burial indexes for any of them?

Looking for:
DEPRIEST, John O. b:abt 1817 NC (or any spelling variation)
wife: Cynthia b:abt 1822 NC
son: James M. b:abt 1848 AL
wife: Sarah b:abt 1849 AL
children of James and Sarah:
John M b:abt 1870 AL
Mary J b: abt 1872 MO ?

I have tried searching every name variation to find any of these people after 1880, in any state, and haven't found them. I would imagine at John and Cynthia might have died in the area.

Numerous stories about Mankins Family are available. I am looking for the source of one particular article which contains his photo at age 100. This info can be seen on numerous family trees on Ancestry.com. The info is taken from pgs. 44-45 of this unknown publication. The title of article is "The Centenarian - Peter Mankin". The type is so small / blurry it cannot be copied. I can make out that it says it was a reprint from article done in Nov.1970 in the FLASHBACK ... whatever that was. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

CURRY, GIBSON, EVANS, LAWSON, BROWN, SHIPLEY, SUBLETT, KELLY

arkansascurry — 27 May 2002 6:35:18 GMT

I am needing information on my great grandfather..NATHAN CURRY....he was married to MRS. LOUISA SHIPLEY..in 1881........ People around Durham knew them. They had a son named they called "BUD" CURRY ...I think his name was James. Bud died in December of 1948 around Christmas in a home fire in Fayettville. I have reason to believe NATHAN had a brother named JOHN CURRY. The reason is I found in a record book at the Washington County Courthouse, where Nathan & Louisa had applied for a marriage license and on the same day and signing right underneath their name was a John Curry. I've been told that Louisa was American Indian...she liked to go around with a blanket wrapped around her..go barefoot and smoke a corncob pipe. JAMES "BUD" CURRY ..married NANCY GIBSON...and they had children, WILLARD CURRY, JESSE "J.J." (RED) CURRY, CLAUDE CURRY, WILBERT CURRY, GLEN CURRY AND MAXINE CURRY... The Curry's made baskets, having learned the craft from the Gibson's....If you have any information please let me know.. Christopher "Lum" Gibson was married to Alice Brown ...from down around Van Buren or Alma...or Fort Smith. I have pictures of the Brown family..but most have no names on the back.

HELP with Cemetery Location

maryd06 — 2 Apr 2008 4:13:26 GMT

I have sifted through all the Cemeteries of Washington Co. and also checked with the Fayetteville Library with no luck.
If anyone out there is from Arkansas and would like to help find this missing cemetery I would be so grateful. I am from Minnesota but my husbands family lived near Fayetteville, AR from the 1840's until his father left in 1920. His grandfather Mose Dunlap and wife Maude (Langham) Dunlap died there and are buried in the Goshen Cemetery.
I have two obituaries which state as follows:
(My husbands grgrgrandmother)Frances Dunlap died in June 1890 and is buried on the old homestead on the West Fork of the White River.
Her son Joseph P. Dunlap died Jan 1897 and is buried at the family burying ground a few miles southeast of the city of Fayetteville.
The closest I can get to finding the family burying ground is the property they owned in Township 16N Range 30W the southwest 1/4 which has the West Fork of the White River running through it. Just southeast of the city of Fayetteville on County Road 57.
There are other members of the Dunlap family who have died that are also missing: Millie (Jones) Dunlap the wife of Joseph P., James Dunlap d. Jan 1876 the son of Joseph P., Joseph Dunlap the nephew d. late 1870's, Mary (Gollaher) Dunlap wife of Joseph d. early 1880's, George Washington Dunlap and wife Matilda, Daniel McKeever husband of Mariah (Dunlap) McKeever. As I do more research the list just keeps growing.

Jesse Neal, son of Benjamin & Nancy Harmon Neal

VirginiaBrown777 — 25 Sep 2004 3:55:50 GMT

There seems to be some confusion about the wife of Jesse Neal in the 1850/60 Federal Census of Washington Co, AR. In both census reports the wife is shown as Jane, but this actually refers to two different women. The 1850 census is showing Narcissa “Jane,” and the 1860 census refers to Amanda “Jane,” both of whom went by their middle names. Jesse married Narcissa “Jane” Atkinson on May 29, 1845 (Book A, page 3). After Narcissa apparently died, he married Amanda “Jane” Eaton on Sept. 25, 1859 (Book B, page 180). Both marriages took place in Washington County, AR.

Margaret Elizabeth Talkington married Thomas Lester, emigrating to Fresno Co, CA with many of their 12 children after the Civil War.

Mary Talkington married James n Sharp. They lived in Mountain Township in Washington Co, AR. in the 1850s with their children: Catherine, Eveline, Josephine, Harriet and John. Mary died between 1850-1852 and james Sharp married again, Lucinda Chandler.

REDMOND

sheriank — 25 Aug 2001 6:06:52 GMT

My grandfather was George Washington REDMOND b 9/19/88 in Madison Co to ______ REDMOND and Nancy Paralee HILL, as far as I know they were unmarried. Nancy later married Moses GIBSON. It has been a big mystery to who George's real father was and we have wondered if he was Native American?? George's marriage cert. lists his name as REDMOND but he went by George GIBSON as an adult. They lived in the SW part of Madison Co, close to the Washington/Madison county line. The 1880 census shows the family in VALLEY TWP #17. Nancy's parents were William & Lucinda (TUCKER) HILL. Who was this REDMOND man? Was he from Washington Co? I would love to find the elusive Mr. REDMOND, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sherian

Where is Rhea's Mill, AR?

jimaliceparcel — 1 Oct 2006 8:51:11 GMT

In looking at some WWII draft records I saw that a person's father was born in Raysville, Arkansas and in another record draft record for same person it has Rheasmill, Arkansas. This is for the same person, different locales (TX & NM) and dates - All other information lines up well. The question is where was or is this town? I don't know the state well enough to know what town may have been meant to be stated. It's apparent that the person's taking the information did the best they could in interpreting what was said. I tried several current day maps sources as well as the goverment site. Is it a town that is phoenetically close or did the town died out or get absorbed over time? Any ideas where this town may be? The family name was CRAWFORD.

Obituary for George Miller, died 1950, resident of Fayetteville

DHolth4399 — 18 Sep 2007 1:23:52 GMT

Hi everyone!!! Looking for the obit for the above-named person. He was born 02/21/1879 in Detroit (Redford Township), Michigan, to George W. and Charlotte (Gittins) Miller, the first of four boys. He left Michigan around 1907 or so and moved sometime before 1916 to Indiana, where he met and married Bessie Payton. They married in Indianapolis on January 12, 1916, and eventually made their way to Raytown, Missouri, where their first child, Leonard, was born in 1917. They had three other children along the way: Eileen, b. 1921, Margaret, b. 1923, and Ray, b. 1927, all in Oklahoma. George and Bessie eventually moved to Fayetteville to live out their years. But George became ill while visiting his daughter in Kansas and died in El Dorado, Kansas, on 03/17/1950. His body was returned to Fayetteville where he was interred in Fairhaven (?) Cemetery in Fayetteville. Would there be an obituary in the newspaper for Fayetteville or Washington County of appr 03/17 to 03/20/1950? I would be so grateful if anyone could provide me with that. I have a NEW e-mail address: iluv2laff@hotmail.com.

thanks again, Debbie Miller Holth

The family of Williard & Ruth L. Cardin Patrick

beverly1956 — 29 Aug 2007 6:28:44 GMT

I am seeking any information on the following family and their descendants.

Descendants of Willard Patrick and Ruth L. Cardin

1 Willard Patrick b: May 11, 1913 d: December 18, 1962 in Madison County, Arkansas
.. +Ruth L. Cardin b: 1915 in Arkansas m: October 19, 1940 in Madison County, Arkansas
......... 2 Vanda "Fenen" Patrick
Willard Patrick was the son of William "Billy" Patrick and Alice "Dollie" Timberlake, of Madison County, Arkansas. Willard was born on May 11, 1913 and died Dec 18, 1962 in Madison County, Arkansas. He is buried in the Patrick Cemetery, Patrick, Madison County, Arkansas.

Ruth L. Cardin was the daughter of Benjamin Harrison Cardin and Bijou Eletha Gresham Williams of St. Paul, Madison County, Arkansas. Ruth was born in 1915 in Arkansas, most likely in Madison County.

Willard and Ruth were married October 19, 1940 in Madison County, Arkansas.

Family friends and neighbors said that Ruth had a daughter named Vanda, nicknamed "Fenen", and in 1956 Ruth and "the kids" were apparently living in Elkins, Arkansas. So Ruth apparently had other children as well.

Your help is very appreciated.
