I found a marriage record (
Arkansas Marriages, 1851-1900)for a D. N. Goodman (age 22) and Elizabeth E. Ward (age 16), married August 22, 1883,
Yell County, AR. I suspect these two may be my husband's paternal ggrandparents for the following reasons: Daniel R. Goodman (husband's ggrandfather) was living in
Sulpher Springs,
Montgomery County, AR in 1880; he was born in 1861 in
Alabama. He married Emzy/Emza
Ward, born May 1865 in
Arkansas. I suspect her name may have been Emma Elizabeth and she was called Emza/Emzy for short. I found an Elizabeth
Ward living in Onyx,
Yell, AR in the 1870 census, age 5. Does anyone have any information on this couple?
Thanks in advance,
Mitzi
