1860 census for Yell County

maryjones466 — 19 Aug 2008 3:13:50 GMT

I am a little confused. I am trying to determine exactly where my ancestor lived in Yell County. The 1860 census says it was Ward Township and the post office was Petit Jean. I find no town name Ward except over near Conway. Where exactly would this have been?
Also is there someone out there in Yell County that can help me locate the history of the land my ancetor had in Yell? I have the BLM description. I would like to know what happened to it after he died.

Thomas Henry MCVAY death notice.

wildhog72 — 19 Aug 2008 3:14:27 GMT

I am in need of help. I have tried the normal local channels of finding the death certificate for Thomas Henry McVay, my great grandfather. We went to Vital Statistics in Little Rock to no avail.

He is said to have died in December of 1918 in Neely. He is interred at the Ringer Cemetery.

We know the location of his death and the burial but not the exact date or cause.

The name was sometimes spelled McVeigh or McVey. But MCVAY is how he spelled it when he wrote it himself.

He registered for the WW1 Draft in Sept., remarried in October and died in December all of that year.

Neely is located close to Liberty Hall. In Yell county Arkansas.

I appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks!

Thomas H. MCVAY marries May HILLIARD

wildhog72 — 19 Aug 2008 3:15:51 GMT

I am looking for information about May Hilliard who was the 2nd marriage to my great-grandfather Thomas Henry McVay.

We recently discovered this marriage while doing some digging at the court house in Dardenelle, Yell county Arkansas.

Thomas married her on the 24th of October, 1918.

The license was filed 10th of December, 1918.

We have always been told Thomas died in December, 1918 at Neely. He is buried close by in Ringer Cemetery next to his older brother Dave McVay.

Does anybody have any information on May?

The license states she was 33 yrs old at the time of the marriage.

I appreciate any info.

Thanks for your time.

WEAVER, Robert L. in Bluffton, Yell Co., AR

HoppLisa — 8 Aug 2008 5:10:41 GMT

I am looking for some kind soul to assist me with finding the death and / or burial of Robert L. WEAVER. I was in e-mail contact with his granddaughter until she passed away a few years back. She told me that Robert died in Arkansas in 1913. Unfortunately, her notes to me did not specify an exact date or place. But, Robert can be found on the 1910 Census residing with his son Albert and family in Bluffton, Yell Co., AR. So, I would speculate this is where he died. Unfortunately for me, the online AR death index begins with 1914. Can anyone assist me with confirming Robert's date and place of death? Or where he might be buried?

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

William Jefferson Bullock (1810-ca1883) Forefathers and Descendants

charlesbullock421 — 16 May 2008 1:26:49 GMT

I have researched Wm. Jefferson Bullock and most of his 11 children and their descendants in Pope and Yell Counties AR. I have also researched the roots of his parents, Amos and Rachel Thompkins Bullock, and his grandparents, William and Franky Bullock, in TN and back into Virginia.

My research indicates that Amos Bullock's forefathers are probably related to my Bullock family that immigrated into colonial Virginia in the 1660’s. I wish to collaborate & share info with other researchers or persons of kindred blood to these families -- especially any living male Bullocks of this family. Please contact me @ charlesbullock42@gmail.com

Thanks for your time to read this posting. Sincerely, Charles W. Bullock

STEWARDS in early Yell County

dlsteward1 — 25 Mar 2008 11:17:42 GMT

Can anyone direct me to a source of information (birth, marriage, death)of my ggf JAMES STEWARD(T),(b.?Mi ssissippi, d ??. )married (date and location unknown) a JULIA ANN (SETH) PARKER, (b.1837 Sevier County, Ark., d. 5 Jan., 1906)......they had three children all born in Danville:
GEORGE W. "Fleet" STEWARD (b. 29 Feb. 1864, d. 24 Aug., 1918,
PRINCE ALBERT STEWARD (my gf), b.7 Apr., 1872, d. 17 Jul., 1948
JULIA BIDCAR STEWARD, b. 17 Sep., 1874, d. 18 Apr., 1947

The only record I have of them, in Arkansas, is the 1880 Census of Arkansas, Yell County, Spring Creek Township, sheet 382, page 29 which indicates JULIA ANN (wife and mother) is a widow, and lists her deceased husband (my JAMES) as being born in Mississippi.

Why cannot I find ANYTHING that confirms the birth of the three children above? (I got my information from their death certificates, in Idaho). I have checked over 150 cemetery sites for James death and burial in Yell County (probably between 1874 and 1880) or his marriage to JULIA ANN...again guessing between 1862 and 1864 - location I can only guess,....Sevier County??, better yet ...Yell County??. Right after the Civil War,.... cannot find any specific confirming record of him in the War. Have checked the Mexican War...nothing. Have not checked the church records of Yell County......anyone have a list and is it available on the Internet? Thanks for reading all this...hope to hear from you?

Nellie was born to John W. Barnett and Alice Martin, born Aug 1868, however, in the 1900 Census for Yell County, Alice is Mary A. which I believe to be Mary Alice.

On the same page for (1880 U.S. Federal Census > Arkansas > Yell > Ward and Lower Lafave > District 222) I also found Cintha Martin, a widow, age 49, and Mary, age 11.

In the 1900 Census for Yell County, I found John Barnett, age 55 marrried to Mary A., age 31, and their children, James, age 17, Edward, age 15, Maggie, age 13, Dora, age 11, Nellie, age 9, Maud, age 7, Hattie, age 5, and Ruby, age 2.

John Wire Robbins m Anna Coots/Coats

wrenpg — 21 Dec 2007 10:58:14 GMT

John Wire Robbins married Anna Coots/Coats in Yell Co, AR 4 April 1844, Anna was 16 and John was 23. I am looking for any information on either of them.

On the 1850 Washington Co, AR census, Anna Robbins is living alone with Uriah Coots/Koots and his family, I think Uriah was her brother. Anna was with child and later gave birth to a daughter, Susannah Robbins, so I am assuming that John Robbins has died. There were other Robbins living nearby. I can't find any info on John Wire Robbins and would appreciate any info anyone has on him or his family.

Anna remarried to Stephen Newberry in 1853 and had several children. Her daughter, Susannah, Married John Russell in Greene Co, MO. Susannah and John Russell were my GGgrandparents and Anna and John Robbins were my GGGgrandparents.

Yell County Arkansas - Obituary Transcriptions web site

maryeleek — 20 Oct 2007 7:27:01 GMT

Dear Yell County Researchers,

Just wanted to let everyone know there is now a web site where you can search obituaries for Yell County Arkansas. It is www.yellcountyobits.org

My cousins, Robert and Patsy Gatliff and I have been working on transcribing and indexing obituaries from the "Yell County Record" Newspaper, a weekly newspaper published in Danville, Arkansas. The Arkansas History Commission has, in past years, microfilmed this publication and made it available to the state and county libraries for their research departments. However, to my knowledge, this publication has not been archived since the mid 1990's.

We have completed years 1997 - 2006 and they are available on site, by year, in PDF format. They can be opened and searched on line or you may save the file to your hard drive, where you can search at your leisure. When the file opens, you will notice the bookmark pane to the left, listing each name alphabetically. If you see a name of interest, click on the name and up pops the obituary transcription for that person. You can also do a general search on a surname of interest. Sometimes you can discover previously unknown family members by using this type of search.

A complete, separate, searchable, Master Index file for years 1997-2006, was created by Robert and is also available for opening on site or for download.

Also recently added are the first few months of 2007. These names will not be added to the Master Index until we have the year 2007 complete.

Robert and I have also extracted and transcribed obits and death notices that were originally published in the Yell County Record Newspaper in years 1954 and 1955. Those transcriptions, by year, are now available for opening and searching online, or for download to your hard drive.

Patsy owns a personal collection of old clippings, plus a collection inherited from her Aunt Jessie, and she has graciously allowed us to transcribe and create searchable PDF files of her collections, to be used for the benefit of the Yell County Research community. They are also on the site.

This is an ongoing project and we will be adding additional years as they are processed. Once we have several years of the older obits transcribed, Robert will make available a Master Index, like the one he maintains for the more recent obituaries.

You will need to have the Adobe PDF "free" Reader software, version 7 or later, installed on your computer, in order to open and view these files. If you need this software, there is a link on the web site.

For those of you who might be curious, the cemetery image that is used on the Home Page was created from a photo taken at Brearley Cemetery in Dardanelle, Arkansas. The residents of Yell County take great pride in seeing to the care and upkeep of the many small cemeteries that dot the county. If you have a family member buried at one of the cemeteries, be assured their final resting place is lovingly tended.

My sincere and heartfelt thanks to Robert for the outstanding job he's done with the web site and the obituary transcriptions.

We hope you find these files helpful to your research.

bettyparsleybyrd1949 — 14 Aug 2007 3:19:18 GMT

Yes, I am looking for my greatgreatgrandparents that
came from Ky to the Yell County area in the late 1800's
they had one child that I know of in 1892 her name was
Mary Frances Moore.
I can't seem to fine these people anywhere on the internet
boards. I know they could have been in the Danville Havana
and Scottsville area there. But like I said I can't fine
them anywhere not even in Ky I know it is important to have
dates but I only have dates on Mary Frances and John A Moore
one of their son's and daughter. John was born in 1875 in
Ky he married in 1901 in Scottsville,Ark I have gotten a
copy of his marriage certificate from Russellville but
like I would like to fine out if maybe the Historical
Society might have some info on any Moore's in that
area. If you do please email me at ladybyrd937@msn.com
or thru this board. If you email me please put Moore
in the subject line so I want delete it.
Thank you so much,

Kirkwood Sawmill in Havana Yell Co Ark

bettyparsleybyrd1949 — 14 Aug 2007 3:11:38 GMT

Yes, I am wondering if the Historical Society would happen
to have a picture of the Kirkwood Sawmill that was taken
in 1904, I have a copy of one that was taken from newspaper
clipping that was made in 1975 but you can't see the people
in it. I would love to have a copy that I can see. The
only thing I can see is the name of three men in it and
one of those men is My greatgrandfather John Moore who
was a sawer and his brother in law Cleveland Nuttall and
the man that owned the place I believe it was a Mr Hoyt.
If anyone from the Historical Society can send me a copy
of this picture if they have it please email me at one
at ladybyrd937@msn.com I sure would appreciate it.
Thank you,
BettyParsleyByrd

Mt. Nebo - Rose School District #94

randyroberson_1 — 2 Aug 2007 11:36:01 GMT

I'm looking for information about, and early photos of, the old one room school on Mt. Nebo. It may have served the Rose School District #94 which was in existence from 1891 to 1930 at which time the district was absorbed into the Dardanelle School District. One source indicates the city council of the Town of Mt. Nebo established a 3 month summer school on the mountain in the mid-1920's. This structure may have housed the school during that time. The property on which the structure rests was probably acquired around 1933 when development of Mt. Nebo State Park began. The structure later served as a store, park visitor center and employee residence. Any information would be appreciated.

I had contact at one time with someone who found the cemetery my grandmother was buried in in Arkansas, Parks Cemetery at Nola near the Yell County line is all the info I have and I am unsure if this is the one my grandmother is burried in. My grandmother's name was Flora Gordon Walker and she was married to Vird Walker ~ I believe at some time I was told that other Walker family members were also buried there.

I am searching the 1870 census data sheets online and looking for my family. When I found them in 1880 and onward they were in Gravelly in Yell, Arkansas, can anyone tell me which of these townships would be closest to Gravelly Arkansas - I have already gone through Dardanelle, Lower La Fave, and Upper Lafave. Appreciate any info.

Ester E. Weaver

I'm searching for information on my grandmother. She was born about 1902. She was married to Alter (Alty) Thurman Weaver about 1918. Alter was a widow when he married her and at the time had one daughter Violet. Ester and Alter had a number of children including my father (Nolan/Nolen). I believe Ester's maiden name was Williams, but I can't be sure. I also have information she was born in Arkansas, but again, it's not validated and I can't find any marriage or death records. My father did tell me his mother died around the great depression along with a sister. The last report I can find of her is in the 1930 census which noted her as Alter's wife and they did have a small child that was unnamed (along with the other children). Any help would be much appreciated.

Four WOOD sisters, 1870, Dardanelle, Yell Co, AR from MO

1870 census transcript WOOD sisters found in Golly Rock Twp., Dardanelle post office, Yell county, Arkansas:
Caroline E. (Elizabeth Caroline) WOOD 25, born 1845 in KY
Nancy M. WOOD, 28, born 1842 KY
Martha WOOD, 24, born 1846 IL
Susan J. WOOD, 18; born 1852 IL
All single at this time. It appears they had RE and personal assets valued at $2,500 and $400 respectively.
Searching for any info on them; they are believed to be lateral ancestors in my WOOD and NICHOLS line, who may lead me to more info on my direct WOOD line. Their family migrated from KY, to IL, to MO and then these four sisters migrated to AR before the 1870 census perhaps because of the civil war. It's possible their parents and seven other siblings were civil war casualties as well as their uncle and five cousins all in Jasper Co, MO at the time of the civil war. Their father owned farm land in Jasper Co, MO that they may have sold to purchase land in AR.
