I have not been able to back past Manie Ferguson's father, James Hardy Myatt. I've been told by an Aunt Claudia Myatt Mays that James father was Wiley S. Myatt and wife, Elizabeth Bullion. A relative found in the 1870 AR census where some of the Myatt children were living with some Bullions in Pulaski Co, AR. Aunt Claudia also told her that Wiley S. was killed in the Civil War and that Elizabeth married a Rev. Brown. She is suppose to be buried in a cemetery around Guy, AR but I can find no record.
When I search for Wiley Myatt I get information that there was one Wiley Myatt in the 12 Missouri Infantry. He entered as a private and left as a Lt. in Conferate Army. Does anyone know this family. I say a few Wiley's in the list but they appeared to be in North Carolina.
Wiley Myatt supposedly married Elizabeth Bullion and they settled in north central Arkansas. My great grandmother lived a to 105 and I remember she used to talk about her family coming from Kentucky, and her grandparents having a lawn party for Jefferson Davis. I don't know if it would have been Wiley Myatt side, but we cannot find the Wiley Myatt side.Wiley's son, James Hardy Myatt eventually married an Permelia Vinson and had my great grandmother Manie Lee Myatt Ferguson. She was born in 1880. So I figure James was around 1850's, and Wiley S. would have been around 1830's in guesstimating! Thanks for any help. Sincerely Tracie Tudor Gross You can reach me at
