PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
TO THE MEMBERSHIP AT LARGE --I am pleased to be President as AGS begins its sixteenth year. AGS
is a fine organization and is enjoying splendid growth. It is especially
pleasing that the Quarterly can still be produced and mailed without an
increase in annual membership dues.
The Workshop sponsored by AGS on Saturday, March 12, at the SHERATON
LITTLE ROCK, should interest all family tree enthusiasts. A good attendance is anticipated. Please make reservations in advance, if at all
possible. These will greatly help the arrangements committee. A delicious
luncheon is included in the $10.00 registration fee.
All of us should be interested in "spreading the word" and in assist~
ing beginners to get started in the fascinating field of Genealogy and
Family History. It would be wonderful if each member would bring at least
one non-member to the Workshop.
Please spread the word about the Workshop and encourage many of your
non-member friends to attend.
Hope to see you on March 12.
Sincerel~a..( •

YOUR EDITOR'S NOTES
Dear Beautiful Important Members:
You really are beautiful people! The pink slips with your membership renewals (and orders for Ancestor Chart Volumes) have kept many of
us busy, getting organized for 1977. That has not always been such a
large job, but 1976 we ended up with 7~0 members, and many have already
sent in their money for 1977 (some have even paid thru 1979!).
This is very important, because we try to be very careful to mark
each card paid, check to see everyone still lives in the same place and
the zip code has to be correct, not even one number different in the
street number (or the postal service, delights in collecting "postage
due". Many new members have already joined us this year (a new metal
addressograph plate has to be made for every new member, with all the
correct information (as we do want everyone to receive their Arkansas
Family Historian on time.
We have to have 200 to mail bulk mail, and by the very first day of
1977, we already had our 200. That is really great, as to this date not
one statement has been sent to any member, Just the pink slip in the
December Quarterly. This means 13 cents plus the envelope, and time to
get all those ready to send has been saved. Thank each and everyone
that really helps when the renewals are sent early. Especially does
this help when the weather is so bad, our volunteer workers couldn't
get together to help. Everyone has had to stay in, even here in Arkansas.
For two week or more, your editor couldn't even get one block to the big
mail box. There was a time (not lately) when the mail would arrive before noon and by 5 p.m. it would be answered and back in the big mail box
one block away, for the evening pick-up. Many letters have been answered
(even if the editor couldnot get to the box) even your President took
arm loads several times, and our private printer (Mr. Cia) and anyone
else, who oame in and went out again, carried the mail for us.
Renewals are still arriving in piles and stacks and that is great,
Ancestor Charts are being returned so another Volume will be forth-coming.
Do not wait to send Cor the Volumes you want, as Volume I is about gone.
All our members did not make it in time to be listed in the December
Quarterly. Many paid in after the December iSBue was printed. One of
our Honorary members was omited:
Miss Jennie Belle Lyle, 2103 N. Polk, Little Roek, Ark 72207
We are sorry, but we Just slipped that time.
And sometimes our typeWriter spells wrong:
Mr. George J. WEMPLE, 106 E. State Road 8, Crown POint, Ind. _6307 (was
listed as TEMPLE) That may be a good lesson in Genealogy - look for
several diCferent spellings - especially if you know your ancestor was
in the area. But we are sorry Mr. WEMPLE - Thanks for bringing it to
our attention.

EDITOR'S NOTES (Con't page 4)
The following request was made from Mrs. Diane Dieterle, Director,
GENEALOGICAL LIBRARY POR THE BLIND AND PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED, INC.,
4176 English Oak Drive, Doraville, a.orgia 30340 (_04) 449-1533
'On D.c. 30, 1975, this non-profit, tax-.xempt oorporation was
organized to provide genealogical instruction and materials to those who
are blind, deaf, and otherwise handioapp.d, who are inter.sted in their
own fami11es.
During 1976, genealogical in.tructional mat.rial. have been produced
in Braille, large print, and on cas •• tte tape for the blind. Cla •••• in
g.nealogy, taught in .ign languag., have been offered to the deaf, and a
teletype has be.n in.talled so we can communioate over the telephone with
the deaf.
Now we have b.en approaoh.d by the PARALYZED VETERANS OP AMERICA to
e.tabli.h a l.nding library for the handicapped who either cannot go to
the reoord depo.itori •• and libraries b.cau.e of the inacces.ibility of
the building., or who are striokly hom.bound b.oau.e of their injurie ••
Mr. Barney W. Register, vice pre.ident of the Tampa Bay (Plorida) Chapter,
informs me that the national organization has in .xo •• e of 200,000 cordinJur.d vet.rans as m.mb.rs.
Aoting on Mr. Register'. sugge.tion, we are making plans for op.ning
a lending library for the handioapped in 1977. To build up our current
inventory of 270 genealogioal t.xtbooks and referenoe books, we are asking
if you would pl.ase donate one oopy of your
ANCESTOR CHARTS OP THE ARKANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, VOLa. I, 2,
3 • 4
for this library. Upon reoeipt, we will send you a letter for Int.rnal
R.v.nue stating the name of your books and the retail value of th.m, and
declaring it to b. a tax-d.duotibl. donation •. In addition, the publicity
that will b. giv.n this servic., you will be mentioned by name as one of
the book donors.
Will you h.lp us? Any other donations would also be appreciat.d.
And another letter attached, from Barney W. Regi.ter:
The real problem for handicapped citizsns who are confined to wheelchairs in attempting to do any serious research, is the inacc.ssibility
of Librari.s and R.s.arch rooms, i ••• curb., st.ps narrow door-ways and
too-small r.strooms.
The probl.m b.comes almost impossible for the shut-in confin.d to his
bedroom.
The caus., of course in both of th.se Situations, is the lack of
available reference material or more accurat.ly, the getting that mat.rial
to the individual. These mat.rials are not loaned out by Librari.s and
it available, in original or copy for purchas., the cost is above his
limited means. (Most handicapp.d individuals have incom. b.low the m.dian
level) •
May I suggest that what is n•• ded i. a r.ally broad coverage low t.e
rental arrangement on original material, s.nt direct to the home of the
handicapped person? Thi8 would allow library like 'browsing the index' for
unthought ot leads to the particular subject. Along with this rental arrangement could go an economical zerox type copying service for those rare
or irreplacibl. works so that no loss could occur.
Punding for covering the subsidies required in this system as well a8
the occa18·ional lo.ses of origional. could be obtained, I am sure, from
80me ot the many philanthropic funds or foundat1ons. A great need does
exist!
I hopethese sugge.tions w111 prove of some value 1n your go04 works."
(end of both these lett.r.)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Jim DeJarn.tt, R.g10nal Librarian, for the Blind and
PhY8ical Handicapped, Atlanta, Georg1a, was contaot.d by your Ed1tor,

PROBATE BONDS
of
LAWRENCE COUNTY, ARKANSAS
1815-1835
Compiled by
Marion Stark CRAIG, M.D.
300 Beckwood Road
Little Rock, Arkansas 72205
Lawrence was created on January 15, 1815, as a county in the
Territory of Missouri. From old Lawrence have come in whole or in
part 32 of the 75 counties in our now State of Arkansas. No wonder
she is called the "Mother of Counties." As shown by the U. S.
census, of 1820, well over one-third of all inhabitants enumerated
in the new Territory of Arkansas lived in Lawrence County.
A collection of loose probate bonds was discovered in 1972 in
a box at the office of the County Clerk of Lawrence at Walnut Ridge
by James Logan MORGAN of 314 Vine Street, Newport, Jackson County,
Arkansas, and the compiler. These range in date from 1815 into 1835.
Photocopies of all Wert· obtained. From these the following two lists
of abstracts were compiled. In addition, a third list of names was
placed here by the compiler. This latter list contains names of
persons known to have died in Lawrence County (1815-1835) for whom
no probate bonds were found, but about whom some type of record is
extant concerning their deaths.
Interested readers are advised to also consult a "Consolidated
Index To Wills, Administrations, and Decedents In Genealogical
Records Of N/E Arkansas: 1816-1830 and 1830-1838," by James Logan
MORGAN, published in The Arkansas Genealogical Re~ister, Volume 1,
Number 4, December 1911, pages 50 tfiru 59. In ad ition, one should
consult Genealogical Records of Arkansas 1804-1830, Volume 1 (Parts
1 and 2), 1973, by Mr. MORGAN.

Several females appear in the diminutive,

and Betsey (for Elizabeth). In the abstracts, all names appear as
spelled on the bonds. Be sure to see all possible variations in
spelling.
To aid
definitions
a Last Will
means there
in the proper understanding of certain legal terms,
are given. A testate estate indicates the deceased left
and Testament that was accepted by the Court.
Intestate
was nO Will, or, if one were left, it was not ac.c;epted
by the Court.
The settlement of a testate estate is usually begun
by an executor and/or executrix.
Should these decline or cease to
function, the Court appoints an administrator and/or administratrix
"with the Will annexed" to carry the testate estate through the
probate process. When an administrator and/or administratrix of an
unsettled intestate estate ceases to function, the Court appoints
an administrator and/or administratrix "de-bonis-non lO to complete the
settlement.
The law required all such be bonded.
The only exception
would be with a testate estate when the Will requested the Court
waive this requirement.
The term "legal heirs" should not be interpreted as meaning only children of a deceased in every instance.
Each bond was required to be signed by Securities (bondsmen).
These bondsmen (securities) were not professionals as we know bondsmen today.
No fee was paid or received.
Usually, in those long
ago years. one signed only the bond of a relative or trusted friend.
All words within parentheses are those of the compiler. At
the end of this compilation is an every-name index.
This index is
introduced by a paragraph containing special instructions for its
use.
This is the reason the paragraphs are numbered.

160. The signature of Joseph HARDIN is on numerous of these
old probate bonds. From 1815 until 1825, three Josephs HARDIN
lived in Lawrence County. Two were father and son, Joseph HARDIN,
Sr., and Joseph HARDIN, Junr. By early 1825 these two had removed
to Hempstead County and soon thereafter to Antoine Township, Clark
County, Arkansas, where they were still living when the 1850 U. S.
census was enumerated.
-
161. The Joseph HARDIN who signed the probate bonds was in
every instance the Joseph HARDIN who died on August 25, 1826, at
his residence in Davidsonville, the county seat of Lawrence, where
he was Sheriff of the County and Colonel of the Third RegIment of the
Territorial Militia of Arkansas. It is he who is the great, great
grandfather of the compiler. Specimens of the authentic signatures
of the Josephs HARDIN are in the custody of the compiler. In no
instance does the signature of the Senior or Junior appear on any
of these probate bonds. The father of Joseph HARDIN, the Sheriff
and Colonel, was the Revolutionary War soldier and pensioner,
Benjamin HARDIN, who died at his residence near Goodie Creek, in
Christian Township, Independence County, Arkansas, on April 2,
1848.

Our thanks to B. C. Hulsey tor sharing this inportant information with
AFH members.
In la58 Buford W. Hulsey and his family moved to Tulip, Dallas County, Ark.
from McNairy Co., Tennessee and remained until 1863.
On June 16, 1862 their son John enlisted in the 26th Arkansas Infantry,
Daniels Artillery. According to his recorda, he died "of disease" at the
General Hospital in Little Rook on August 12, 1862.
According to a report found in the l08th Communication of the M. W. Grant

Lodge, F. & A. M. dated Nov. 15, 19-9, the old Saint Johns College erected
by the Masons of Arkansas in l§2l Just to the northeast ot McArthur Park in
Little Rock was converted to a general hospital in 1861. This is undoubtedly where John died.
We also found that "a number" of Civil War dead were buried in Oakland
Cemetery, 21st and Barber, Little Rock. A search last summer showed that
not only are a number of individual tombstones (tor Civil War dead) located
there (southeast corner) but the United Daughters of the Confederacy had
erected a large monument "in memory of the 912 soldiers whO died in the
Little Rock General Hospital and who lie buried here".

Marsena, Ark for a number of years. It was disoontinued about
1975.
John McDaniel died as a young man, Sally later married Benjamin
Salters, and they had three children:
Pearl Salters
Cora Salters
Lelia Salters
10. Alfred, b. 1858, d. 10 Feb 1918 at Bradleyville, Missouri, buried
in Floyd Cemetery. Married 16 Sept. 1879 at Snowball, Ark. to
Sarah Ann Hays, sister to Mary Bladen Hays.
11. Edward (Dock) b. 1860 married Eva Hensley
12. Fannie b. ? married Billy Hensley.
Several of these children moved to Oklahoma and reared families
there.
This is a very incomplete family genealogy record on these McDaniel
brothers. Maybe some of the Arkansas Family Historian members and readers
can help fill in some of the information and some of the family names. I
would appreCiate hearing from anyone with any information on any of these
families. I will exchange any data that I have and will answer all letters,
•••••••••••
EDITOR'S NOTE: If every family had this much information in any kind of
written record. Of course typed material is muoh easier to read but
if it is written (even in ball pOint pen) it can always be corrected
an added too. Much information is lost, becaus,e no one in the family
bothered to write even the little bit they did know. This is such
a large family and Mrs. Huffman has done well to get this much together over such a long period. There is no doubt many of these
people will fit right into many other family records. We will be
glad to know more about families like this McDaniel Family. ec

INFORMATION OFFERED (Con't page 2)
David C. Etheridge searched Census records in the National Archives'
found Frances & Nealy Etheridge in Trigg Co., KY., in the Censuses of 1820,
30 and 40. The 1850 cenSus rev.aled William M., b. 1816 and wife Sarah,
b. 1815 in Caldwell Co., Ky. Sons in that family were: John, James H.,
Robert, Pleasant & William. Jam.s waa then 13. The Caldwell County
William M. Etheridge, listed Trigg County as his place of origin. James
& wife Elizabeth were found at Benton in Marshall Co., Ky., in 1870, with
sons, Robert b. 1866 and William J., b. 1867. They were at the same location in 18Ao, but now had additional ohildren: John R., 6; Sallie, 4,
and Phelix, 2.
William J. Etheridge, was father of your informant, Charles. He and
brother Robert, left home in l880s and both lived the remainder of their
lives in what is now Oklahoma. Will, died in 1927 and Bob in 1940. But
neither apparently knew the further history of parents or brothers and
sisters. There are descendants of Bob via his son Eagon and of Will via
his sons David B. and Charles. I do not know if any of the other children
of Jame~ and Elizabeth lived to maturity and had offspring. It seems likely they did.
The family of Hans Trachsel. b. ca. 1618 in the Bernese Alps &
Elsbeth Gungsel has been heavily documented in church records, histories
in Switzerland, Germany. Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Two SonS of Jakob,
son of Hans, settled in the Lehigh Valley of Pa. in 1730s. Hans appears
to have been born into the Reformed Church. Jakob was in at the founding
of the Schwarzanau Brethren (German Baptists). Henry Troxel (spelling
changed in America) (John, Michael, John, Jakob, Hans) settled in Dayton,
Ohio. in 1814. His son Henry W. was born there in 1825. Henry W. was a
preacher and Brethren Churoh organizer who established first churches of
the group in Wisconsin, Texas and Oklahoma. He and most of his 14 children participated in the 1891 land run into Oklahoma from Clay County,
Texas. William J. Etheridge and Martha Bowman, granddaughter of Henry W.
Troxel. were married at Comanohe, Okla., in 1913. Martha was mother of
David B. and Charles Etheridge.
JAMES MARTIN who died in 1821 in Franklin Co., Va., was reputed by
members of the family to have liv.d 104 years. It seems likely he was
born before 1730. Mrs. C. P. Kelley of Chattanooga, Tenn., has spent a
dozen or more years compiling a history of the family beginning with JAMES
and the speculation that his parents were assooiated with John Caldwell who
led in formation of the Cub Creek Presbyterian Churo.h in Charlotte County,
first such in Va. John Caldwell deeded 324 aores to James in 1762, raising
the supposition that Jamea' wife might have been Caldwell's daughter. In
1782 James was paid for· provisioning oolonial troopa (OB 3, p. 16).
James' son John (ca 1755-1849) moved to the Cherokee Purchase lands of
Tenn. in 1820. His son Jesse moved to Ky. in 1818 but joined others of the
family in present Meigs Co., Tenn., in 1820. Jesse Jr. was born in Ky. in

MARBURY AND RELATED FAMILIES
By Mrs. Luther Greene, Jr. (Esther Clem Greene)
September 1976
(My mother was Mattie Dale Clem, a daughter of David Thomas Dale and Mary
Marbury)
..
(Sources of information: Material copied from old family records of Aunt Coy
Dale Fordyce and Aunt Bessie Dale Tonry (both now deceased); correspondence in
1956 from Mrs. Annette Marbury Halsell; copy of will of Francis Marbury 1733/4
of Prince Georges County, Maryland; Leonard (son of Colonel Leonard) Marbury's
application for pension based upon service in the Revolutionary War; copy of
DAR papers based on Colonel Leonard Marbury's service in Rev. War; pension
papers of Anne Sommerville Marbury based On Colonel Leonard's service in Rev .
War; articles in scrapbooks kept in Arkadelphia, Arkansas Library; Goodspeed
articles - 1890 of Southern Arkansas - Edward Clingan, Hempstead County, and
J. C. Saunders, Clark County; the book, "Across the Years in Prince Georges
County, Maryland," by Effie Gwynn Bowie; censuses; marriage record books; and
deeds and probate records of Haywood County, Tennessee; and Sevier and Howard
Counties, Arkansas)
In Arkadelphia, the Marbury's were some of the first settlers of Clark County,
Arkansas. They ran a big general store on Main Street and owned some farm
property.
MARBURY - This is an exceedingly ancient family and is mentioned in works of
heraldry as located in Chestershire, England, as early as the reign of Edward
I. Marbury Hall in that county, about fifteen miles from the City of Chester,
was owned by a branch of the family until sometime in the nineteenth century ...
The coat of arms borne by the Marbury's displayed a crusader's cross and under
it a mailed hand grasping the head of a Saracen. This would indicate that the
Knight who first assumed this design had fought under the cross in Palestine •••
The exact date of the emigration to Maryland of the first representative of
the house is unknown, but it was probably between 1680 and 1690. The name does
not appear On Colonial records prior to that era.
FRANCIES MARBURY emigrated from England and settled in Prince Georges County,
Maryland near the town of Piscataway. In his will, he names sons Eusebius,
Leonard, Luke, William, and Eli; and his daughters Susannah, Barbara Frazer,
Mary, Elizabeth Davidson, Lucy Hatton, and Tabitha Hoye. (Have copy of will)
(I am working on the theory that Colonel Leonard Marbury may have been the
Leonard named above in will - this will have to be proven) CAN ANYONE HELP ON
THIS?
COLONEL LEONARD MARBURY - He moved from Maryland to St. Paul's Parish, Georgia,
a few years before the Revolutionary War. He was Captain of a Georgia Company
and was afterwards promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Light
Dragoons. He was at the battle of Kettle Creek, the siege of Savannah, and in
other engagements. In 1780 his property was confiscated by the British and his
name placed on the list of those denounced as being forever debarred from holding office under the Crown. In this list which some Georgia histories call the
"Roll of Honor," Colonel Marbury was designated a "Rebel Officer," a title he had
doubly earned from having been a member of the Convention which decided on
Georgia's separating from the Mother Country and joining the other colonies in
-39Page 1
establishing an independent government. This memorable assembly which is
called "Georgia's First Secession Convention" was held in Savannah, July 4,
1775. Leonard was a delegate from St. Paul's Parish, now Richmond County.
During the War, he gave generously to the cause of freedom, and lost heavily
from the ravages of the enemy. In 1785 he received a bounty of 1150 acres
of land in Franklin County for services rendered during the long struggle ..•
another large grant of land was given him in Richmond County. In May 1789
he was a member of the convention which accepted the new constitution of
Georgia.
Notes taken from book, "The Revolutionary Records of the State of Georgia,"
Vol. 2, by Allen D. Candler concerning Minutes of the Executive Council,
Monday, 9th March 1778 - "Ordered - that a copy of the resolve of Assembly
dated Sunday, 1st March 1778 requesting the Commanding Officer of the Continental Troops in this State to issue orders to Colonel Marbury to repair
with his Battalion of Light horse to the defense of the frontiers of the
State be immediately transmitted to Major General Howe and that it be recommended to give orders accordingly - finished"
From Vol. I - at a meeting of the Council of Safety on May 16th, 1776, the
following was shown: "Orders to Captain Leonard Marbury - Sir: Whereas
information has been received that one Few, and a company under his command,
have killed an Indian and several accounts received respecting the Indians
are very unfavorable, you are therefore ordered and required to use your
utmost efforts to prevent the murder of any Indians in the Back Country and
to apprehend the said Few, or any person that may be guilty of the above mentioned murder, or who may in any wise disturb the peace, or render himself
obnoxious to the friends of liberty in the Back Country."
At a meeting of the Council, August 22nd, 1776 - "Capt. Leonard Marbury made
application to the Board for leave to go with a detachment of Militia against
some of the Cherokee towns. It i. the opinion of the Board that orders be
given to him accordingly."
Colonel Leonard Marbury died September 22, 1796, in East Feliciana County,
Louisiana. He was married to Anne Sommerville on February 2, 1780, after his
service in the Revolutionary War. Children of theirs were: William Marbury,
Sr., Ann Marbury Carpenter, and Eliza B. Marbury Dunbar.
Colonel Marbury's first marriage was to
?
A son of Colonel Leonard Marbury by his first marriage was LEONARD MARBURY
(4-4-1759/1-24-1839.). His wife was Mary Rounsaval, born 3-8-1760. Do not
have her date of death. Data obtained from papers on file for Revolutionary
War claim for pension, File R6892, shows family history, as follows:
(Have
copy of this) Leonard Marbury, the name also shown as Marberry, son of Leonard, was born April 4, 1759, in Maryland. When young, he moved with his
parents to N. C., and before the beginning of the Revolutionary War, moved to
Georgia. He later moved to Rowan County, N. C.; thence to Montgomery County,
N. C.; to Buncombe County, N. Co; to Warren County, Tennessee; and about 1829
to Haywood County, Tennessee. He lived in Haywood County, Tennessee, in
December 13, 1832, at which time he applied for the pension. It was stated
that while residing on the Savannah River some distance from Augusta, Georgia,
Leonard enlisted in 1777, served 18 months as Private in Capt. Middleton's
Company; Colonel Leonard Marbury's (his father) Georgia Regiment; and in
several other mentioned battles. His claim for pension was not allowed; however, because of failure to furnish necessary papers as required by pension
laws. Other family history shown was: In 1837 Leonard Marbury was living in
Brownsville, Tennessee. In 1837 his brother, Luke Marbury, was living in
Bedford County, Tennessee. He was born October 5, 1767, place not given. In
1837, Josiah H. Marbury, was a Justice of the Peace for Bedford County, Tenn.,
his age and relationship not stated. In 1833 one John Marberry, aged about
-40Page 2
-
sixty-four years, was a resident of Maury County, Tennessee, no relationship
shown. Leonard came with a son to Sevier County, Arkansas, where he and his
wife died soon after.
Deeds found in Haywood County, Tennessee, just prior to Leonard coming to
Arkansas with his son, Benjamin, show also Andrew J., John, and Robert G.
Marbury. The last three named are believed to have stayed in Tennessee.
They are not found in records in Arkansas along with Benjamin and his family.
Another SOn of Colonel Leonard Marbury was LUKE MARBURY, born October 5,
1767. According to papers on pension claim shown above, Leonard, son of Col.
Leonard, had a brother named Luke. This Luke also served in the Revolutionary
War and is listed in the DAR Patriot Index as: Luke, born 10-5-1767, died
1852. His 3rd marriage was to Elizabeth Bullen.
There was a Thomas Marbury, born about 1756, died 1823, married Charity? •
He also served in the Revolutionary War, and listed in the DAR Patriot Index.
Listed in the Georgia Roster of the Revolution is a Horatio Marbury. (Do not
know the relationship of Thomas and Horatio. They are found in Washington
County, Georgia, as well as Colonel Leonard Marbury)
BENJAMIN MARBURY & FAMILY
A son of Leonard Marbury - BENJAMIN MARBURY (12-24-1784/9-30-1838). His wife
was Mary Hoodenpy1e (5-5-1793/1873). Benjamin was born in N. C., and from
there moved to Tennessee. (There was a Benjamin Marbury shown in the 1830
census of Haywood County, Tennessee - believed to be the same). About 1837
he took up his abode in Sevier County, Arkansas, where he farmed until his
death, which occurred in 1838, of smallpox. He was a deacon in the Missionary Baptist Church, and a worthy gentleman in every respect. His widow died
in Howard County, Arkansas, in 1873. She was a member of that church.
When Benjamin and family came from Haywood County, Tennessee, to Sevier County,
Arkansas, they settlea around Nashville, Arkansas (which is now in Howard
County). Mary Marberry (should be Marbury) is found listed in 1840 census of
Sevier County, Arkansas (Madison Township) as follows: In her home were:
1 male (5-10 years), 2 males (10-15), 2 males (15-20), 2 males (20-30), 1
female (5-10), 1 female (10-15), 2 females (15-20), and 1 female (40-50)
(this last mentioned would be Mary ~ the mother).
Some of the children and their families were found in the 1850 census in
Madison Township, Sevier County; and some were found in Mine Creek Township,
Hempstead County. In 1860 census some of this family were found in Mine
Creek Township, Hempstead County; and Brewer Township, Pike County. In 1880
one family was found in Brewer Township, then in Howard County. The above
locations were all near Nashville, Arkansas, and were taken int·o Howard County
when it was formed in 1873 from portions of Sevier, Hempstead, and Pike Counties. One of Benjamin and Mary's sons, Leonard W. Marbury, was living in
Clark County before 1850.
Mary, widow of Benjamin Marbury, was married to John Mclendon on July 24,
1842, by James W. Briscoe, JP - marriage recorded in Sevier County, book 1,
page 35. John Mclendon was a Minister of the Gospel and is shown as the
Minister who performed the marriage ceremony of several of the Marbury children. John Mclendon must have died before 1850 as Mary is shown again as head
of household in 1850 census - Hempstead County (Mine Creek Township) - family
#55. (this census was a bit confusing and incorrect in part (maybe written
down wrong by census taker or one giving the information gave it wrong). Living next door to this family in this census was the family of John L. Matheson
-41-
Page 3
who married Evaline Marbury. Family 1F55 was shown as follows: Mary McLendonage 54, Thomas-22, Peter-18 (Thomas & Peter should have shown Marbury - they
were shown as two of the minor children of Benjamin Marbury, deceased, in
probate records in 1841); next shown in same house was Sarah Faulkner (Sarah married Fortenaw according to book of Sevier County marriages - was
indexed Falconer; later in probate records referred to as Falkner, do not
know which is correct - probably sounded same and was written down as Faulkner); next in same house was her child, MBry-6j and in same house was shown
John McLendon-25, and Minerva-2l (sure the last two should have read John
Marbury as he was married to Minerva Wicker in 1848 - they were living in
home with his mother, Mary Mclendon).

Ancestry of Cordelia Heard Saunders Marbury (My great grandmother)
(Sources of information: censuses; article from Arkadelphia, Arkansas Library;
correspondence from Mrs. Doris McMurchy with papers sent her by Mrs. Mary Warren, Editor of Family Puzzlers - (Mrs. McMurchy is a descendant of Thomas
Heard and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick through one of their daughters, Mary Heard
who married John Drury Cook); Joseph Habersham Chapter Historical Collections,
Vol. II - 1902; DAR papers through lineal descent from Thomas Heard; book
"Historical Southern Families" vol. XVII by Mrs. John Bennett Boddie - page

Cordelia Heard Marbury (widow Saunders when she married Leonard W. Marbury) was
the daughter of Woodson Heard and Mary Peeples Heard. The mother, Mary Heard,
was living next door to Leonard W. and Cordelia Marbury in the 1850 census of
Clark County, Arkansas. Cordelia's brother, Thomas Heard, also settled in
Clark County. Thomas was a teacher in a subscription school in 1843, and that
was the year also that his younger sister, Sabina, was married to William A.
Trigg. It is said that in honor of the event Thomas dismissed school and gave
his scholars a full holiday. Thomas was first married to Catherine Anderson
of near Arkadelphia. There were six children from this marriage. There is a
tradition in the family that before Catherine's death, she called both Thomas
and her Sister, Almeda, to her bedside and got a promise from both of them
that they would marry, so "my children will have the right kind of step-mother."
The pledge was kept and in 1866 Thomas and Almeda were married. There were
three children by this marriage.

Thomas was a Captain in the Revolutionary War, Virginia State Troops. They
lived in Virginia until 1784 when they removed to Greene County, Georgia.
Their children: Catherine, Abram, Mary, Thomas, Elizabeth, Sally, Woodson,
George, and Falkner. Vol. I, ''Roster of Rev. Soldiers in Georgia," by Mrs.
Howard H. McCall also shows another child, Joseph, in addition to those named
above. Thomas' wife, Elizabeth Napier Fitzpatrick was the daughter of Joseph
Fitzpatrick and Mary Perrin Woodson. The father of Joseph Fitzpatrick was
William Fitzpatrick who came from Ireland to Virginia about 1710.
Mary Perrin Woodson, mother of Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Heard, was the daughter
of Benjamin Woodson and Frances Napier, and great, great granddaughter of Dr.
John Woodson (1586-1644). Dr. John Woodson, graduated at St. John's College,
Oxford, 1604; came to Jamestown, Virginia, in the "George" in 1619 with Governor Yardley as surgeon to a company of soldiers; settled at F1eu de Hundred
On the James River. He was killed in the Indian Massacre of 1644. He was
married to Sarah Winston (born in England, died in Henrico, Virginia). In
the Virginia Archives is the gun used by Sarah Woodson to defend herself and
her two small sons in the massacre in which Dr. Woodson was killed.
Other ancestry of Mary Perrin Woodson was Dr. Patrick Napier through his son,
Robert Napier; and Robert's daughter, Frances Napier who married Benjamin
Woodson.

NAPIER OF VIRGINIA, TENNESSEE, AND MISSISSIPPI
(Includes documented evidence of the Napier Family previously shown in
"Historical Southern Families," vol XV)
"Dr. Patrick Napier, Jr., surgeon and planter, was born in Scotland about
1635 and had emigrated to Gloucester County, Virginia, by 1654. He married
in 1658 Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Booth and his wife Frances. Robert
Booth was Clerk of York County, Virginia, 1639; Justice, 1652; Virginia House
of Burgesses, 1653-54.
Dr. Patrick Napier lived first in Hampton Parish, York County, Va., and
later in Blisland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. He willed his 1500 acre
plantation there to his children, Robert and Frances, Feb. 20, 1668. He died
prior to April 12, 1669 when his will was filed.
Captain Robert Napier, Sr., planter, only son, named in his father's
will, was born in York County, Va. about 1660, and lived in New Kent, King

(Following are records copied in 1956 from old records of my Aunt Coy Dale Fordyce
who lived in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, before her death. I believe there had been
research done on this family by someone from whom she acquired the records. However, I have not proved our Marbury connection with Anne Marbury Hutchinson yet)
"William Hutchinson and Anne Marbury were married August 1, 1612, in London.
Their home was Alford Lincolnshire. They had 13 children. In 1634 they came to
New England with 10 children, they had lost 3.
Both the Hutchinsons and Marburys were of distinguished ancestry. Dryden is one
name on the Marbury family chart, a relative of the poet laureate, John Dryden.
Anne Hutchinson was a woman with a natural gift for leadership in an age that had
no place for such women. In 1911 the colonial farmers of New York State placed
a tablet to her memory on a boulder in Pelham Bay Park, New York City, near the
site of her last dwelling place. Of the children who survived the death or massacre of Anne Marbury Hutchinson, five in all, a daughter Faith married Thomas
Savage and became the ancestress of the noted historian and genealogist of New
England, Bridget. Her sister became the wife of Governor John Sanford and waS
the mother of another Governor of Rhode Island, Peleg Sanford. Charlotte and
Culpepper Counties, Virginia, were homes of the Hutchinsons. James Hutchinson
of Culpepper County married Margaret, daughter of David and Clara Hickman. This
was toward the end of the eighteenth century. They raised a family of 12 children.
The Markhams are one related family I also, the Truetts and MaGavocks. Hutchinson
or Hutchison is favored by different branches in the south as the way to spell the
name.
First Hutchinsons came here early.
Engll,Uld to wed.
Arrived in America in 1633, then returned to
In 1865 the New England Historical and Genealogical Register had a brief account
of descendants of William Hutchinson and in 1866 was published at Bostor. notes
upon the ancestry of William Hutchinson and wife Anne Marbury, from researches
made in England. Also, there is a published account of the Hutchinson family's
sixteen sons and daughters.
Captain Edward Hutchinson, son of William and Anne, ~arried Catherine Hamby, borrl
at Ipswich, Suffolk England. They were married October 13, 1636, and in England.
Edward came to America in 1633 with his uncle, Edward Hutchinson. He was 20 years
of age at this time. Three years later he retul~ed to England to claim Catherine
for· his wife. They came to Boston and lived practically all the rest of their
lives, though he was one of the founders of Newport R. I., in 16)8. After the
death of his wife in 1650, Edward married the widow Abigail Button, born Vormales.
He died in 1675 - was the father of seven children by his first wife, and four by
his second. A daughter, Elizabeth, married Edward ~linslow and was something of
an heiress, inheriting land at Narragansett from her father and also she ie mentioned in the will of her great uncle, S~uel Hutchinson of Boston.
Descendants of Captain Edward Hutchinson are eligible to several patriotic societies, for he was one of the founders of Newport, R. I., as mentioned above, and
deputy to court in 1658. Also, Captain in King Phillips War. His descendants
are legion, with many distinguished names all along. His son, Elisha, was father
of Thomas, member of the Colonial Council, whose son Thomas was the last royal
governor of Massachusetts. Elizabeth, daughter of Edward, who married Edward
Winslow, was an ances·tress of the wife of John Singleton Copley, an artist, whone
son became Lord Lyndhurst, Chancello~ of England. Elizabeth's sister, Susanna,
married Nathaniel Coddington, Bon of Governor William Coddington, and of Anna
Brinkley, daughter of Thomas Brinkley, Auditor General of both King Charles I and
King Charles II."
(Prom 1954 Edition, "Encyclopedia .IJkoitannica," copyright by Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc.)
"Anne Hutchinson, ·American Religious enthusiast, was born in Lincolnshire, England
the daughter of a clergyman, Prancis Marbury, and according to tradition, a cousin
of John Dryden."
Correspondence in 1957 from Mr. Meredith B. Colket, Jr., author of a book on the
ancestry of Anne Marbury Hutchinson, stated that Leonard was a name common in the
family of Francis Marbury who was in Prince Georges County, Maryland, by 1698.
Also, there was evidence that Francis was from the Marbury family of Redfordshire,
England, but not proved. The relationship to Anne Hutchinson is likely though
not known.

WOOD
QUERIES
Mrs. H. F. Hemphill, 112 Olive Street, Crane, MO 65633
My Great Grandfather Commadore R. WOOD and Great Grandmother, Alley M. (?) settled in Lawrence Co., MO near Mt. Vernon
possibly just before, during or soon after the Civil War. The old
Family Bible shows they were born in Tennessee, but does not give Co.,
or town. It also shows my Grandfather, was born 4 Sept. 1838 in Tenn.
He was their oldest child. It shows a daughter, their second child
also born in Tenn. The first record in Lawrence Co., shows a daughter
born 26 Dec. 1848. But I have reason to doubt they were there that
early. My Grandfather, James Marion WOOD, served in the Confederate
Army, his younger brother, Thomas Jefferson WOOD, served in the Union
Army. He told us our Grandfather was a "Buah-Whacker" which we believed
until I began digging for proof and found his Army records. The records
in Washington, D. C. He was wounded, captured at the Battle of Jenkins
Ferry, Ark. and remained a prisoner of War, until 8 June 1865, when
paroled at Shrevesport, La. A Younger brother of mine tells me that the
same Uncle, Thomas Jefferson WOOD, told him that they lived near Ft.
Smith, Sebastain Co., Ark., before coming to Lawrence Co., Mo. I have
records putting them in Lawrence Co., Mo. after the War waS over. I
am trying to trace ~.hern to where (?) in Tennessee, or maybe not Tenn (?)
Can anyone help? I have belonged to Missouri State Historical Society
for 20 years, and if I can help any of you, I will be happy to do so.

Emerson Henry BRYANT was born in Greene Co., Paragould, Ark., 2 Feb 1904.
His parents Were Della Lee Murphy & John Robert BRYANT. Grandfather died
in 1964 and the only information I have been able to obtain is a few things
that my Grandmother remembers hearing from Grandfather. Della Murphy
BRYANT, died when Emerson was 7 years old, about 1911. I have been told
she is buried in Mulberry cemetery, Paragould, Ark. John Robert BRYANT
died when Emerson was 14 years old, about 1918. He is buried in either
Missouri or Ark. J. R. BRYANT was supposed to have been married 5 times.
Della was his 3rd wife. Emerson had a sister, Lee and a half-sister &
half brother, Annie & Johnnie. The Kauffman Settlement has been mentioned.
Any information on Della or J. R. BRYANT - their family,would be very
much appreciated. will be happy to exchange information.

I wrote to the Ark. Family Historian, 25 May 1976, applying for my firet membership, and al.o asking about a book
REMINISCENT HISTORY OF THE OZARK REGION. To my request you replied that you would make my request into a QUERY,
which you did, and it appeared in Vol. XIV, NO. 3.(1976). I would like
to take this opportunity to thanky the Ark. Family Historian.membere
and tell you that I have received wonderful results. I now have a copy
of the book. Through the Query I located my Great Grandfather in 1860
Census, where he was entered under an incorrect name, also that he was
still alive in 1865 as he wae on the Tax roUs. I have received several
letters in reply to the Query and I am atlll getting them. I am quite
sure that those that have written, have mutually benefited. I am enclosing my check and application for a renewal of mambership.
EDITOR'S NOTE. This ie juet one of many letter. telling how Queries in
the Arkansas Family Historian have helped. We are happy DAVID R.
MILLS took time to tell U8. (I wish he had told us, where he got
a copy of the REMINISCENT HISTORY OF THE OZARK REGION). Even if
a member does not know very much about the various Queries, just
a tiny clue will often help.

record of in Clark Co •• Ark •• are Joseph BEAR. who was impanneled as a
juryman in April 1820 and a Samuel BEAR. who WaS admitted by the Court
to serve as an Attorney (DAR Record). I have no way of knowing if they
were related to my PETER BARR.
In 1825 Nancy BARR (Bear) married Edward DAVIS in Clark Co •• Ark.
I believe this Nancy BARR was Peter's siater. I find Peter BARR (Bear)
for the first time on the 1830 Census for Clark Co., with a female the
right age to be his Mother. On the 12th of July 1832, Peter married to
Elizabeth ALLEN in Clark Co •• Ark. They are still there on the 1840 Census
with 5 children. William. Thomas, Nancy. John & ELIAS (My great grandfather). Of courSe they were not liated by name On the 1840 Census. but
were listed by name on the 1850 Census. but both Peter and Elizabeth were
deceased & 17 year old Thomas was the head ot the household. The only
other BARR (Bear) on the 1850 Census is an 8 year olf girl named Elizabeth
living with William ANDERSON. who was 39 years of age. and Sarah 57 and
Nancy DAVIS. 11. Was Sarah the widow of John B. ANDERSON of Clark Co.?
Was this Sarah a sister to Peter BARR & Nancy?
After Edward DAVIS died. we find Court Records where William ANDERSON
was made Guardian of the DAVIS Children. Although. I did not tind a WILL.
I found a Court record that stated that William ANDERSON was executor ot
Peter BARR'S Estate. This was 13 Jan. 1848.
I believe that Elizabeth (8 years old 1850) was the youngest child of
Peter BEAR & Elizabeth (ALLEN) BEAR. and that Elizabeth. the mother. died
shortly after her daughter was born. We now find that Peter BEAR, 37
years of age. married Sally LANGLEY, 40 in Denton co •• TX on 10 Oct. 1842
According to Lois LANGLEY BARNHART of Dallas. TX. this is indeed my PETER
BEAR from Clark Co •• Ark. Sally LANGLEY (widow of Miles LANGLEY. from
Clark Co •• Ark •• )was her Great Great Grandmother. Lois further states
that Sally died about 1848 also.
Can anyone tell me what the relationship was between the ANDERSONS.
Edward DAVISES and Peter BARR? Where did Peter come from and who were his
parents. brothers and sisters?
I am sure that as PETER BEAR lived all of his adult life in Clark
County. Arkansas and apparently died there. that the answers are to be
found with some of the families from that County. HELP PLEASE.

Judging from Census RecordS of 1870, 1880 and 19001 many of Wm. WOOTEN'S
descendants live in Sebastain and other West Arkansas Counties. One son
of John Jr., James has descendants in Ft. Smith and Oklahoma. He did
not go with his father and 2 .rothers to Texas about late l880s or early
1900s. Will refund postage to anyone who knows the descendants of ROiston,
Boling and James WOOTEN, who Were in Texas (County not known) before 1861.
GORE
SANDERS
BICKMAN
M. P. Gore, P. O. Box 65, McShan, Ala. 35471 - I would
l1ke to IaiDw the parents of Thomas Tindall GORE, b. 1176
S.C. Married to Nancy SANDERS about 1798 (b. 1778 S.C.,
d. 1830, Pickens Co., Ala., children were: Rev. Ellis
GORE, 3 Oct. 1800-1833; Rev. E.ekiel Pletcher GORE, 1808-1872; Manning
H. GORE, 1809-1849, Thomas Sanders GORE, 1813-1886 and Notley GORE, 16
Dec. 1816, S.C., d. 1879, Pickenl Co., Ala. Thomas T. GORE is believed
to have served in the Navy in the War of 1812 and wal wounded. He sold
his land in Chester Diet., S.C. in 1817 and arrived in Pickens Co., Ala.,
about 1819. On 30 March 1833 he married Jane Bickman (dau. of Wm.)
in Columbus, Miss., and about 1840 moved to Calhoun-Co., Miss and died,
and is buried at Calhoun City, Mlss. All of his children except Ellis
& Knotley moved to Miss., with him, and have many descendants. I have
tried to connect Thomas T. GORE with Jamee GORE who died in Camden, S.C.
in 1783. His WidOW, Elizabeth's Will was probated in Chester, S.C. in
1788, naming James, Clement, John, Joshua, Michael' Eleazor(also spelled
Ebenezer). Clement GORE's Will of 25 May 1801 in Chester Co., shows no
Thos. T. and I can find no other other early Willa of GORES in Chester
Co. It is possible that his father moved out before he died.

Mrs. Alma Fay Stone, 29990 S. Barlow Road, Canby, OR 97013
Perhapa some member may lend a helplng hand: I need some
Cemetery 1nformation. I understand my great grandfather,
John Lovid CAMPBELL, his wife, Mary Ellen BARRENTINE &
ancestors on both sides are buried at Bear Creek Cern., in
Klrby, P1ke Co., AR In the 1880 Cenlus ot Pike Co., AR
John Lovid CAMPBELL ls 12 yrs old. He has a Sister, Nancy J., 14 & 2
bros., Posle, 9 & Wl11lam, 4. His mother Martha A., is a 30 yr old widow.
They had not been ln Pike Co., very long al the 4 yr old child was b. in
Ala. Allot the chlldren were born in Ala with the exceptlon of John Lovld.
He was born ln Gerogla ln 1868. Hls father was Ellzah (?) CAMPBELL, b ln
GA. The name on the Cenaus was spelled CAMEL. Ellzah CAMPBELL dled between 1875 • 1880. If he died ln Ala or Pike Co., Ark., ls unknown. The
famlly waa 11vlng ln Clark Townshlp ln 1880.
In searchlng tor my great grandmother, Mary Ellen BARRENTINE, I was
extremely lucky: There was only one famlly of BARRENTINES ln the 1880
Census of Plke Co., Ark. The were llvlng in Antoln Twp and were llsted as
follows: Eblja BARRENTINE 34, Ala. Cella A. wlte, 28, Ark •• eMary E., 8,
Ark •• Nancy R., 6, Ark •• Wl11lam H., 4, Ark •• John H. 3 Ark •• Eblja, 9 mos.
Ark. e Alexander BARRENTINE, father, 63, Georgla. Rebeaka, atep-mather,
64, Mls80url. This partlcular census record gave me three generatlons.
We are not always that luckyll I searched 1870 Plke Co., Cenaus& found
Alexander BARRENTINE aa head of household wlfe wlfe, Susan, born ln 1813
ln South Carollna. The have seven chl1dren at home, the youngeat was 8
yrs. old. The youngest 5 were all born ln Ark., yet I fall to find Alexander ln the 1860 Census of Plke Co., Ark. The family apparently came lnto
Plke Co. between 1860 & 1870. I have yet to flnd where in Ark. they llved
before that date.
The maternal slde ot my father's famlly ls sklmpy lndeed. Mlnnle
(SMITH) CAMPBELL dled when my father was only 6 years old. There does not
seem to be anyone around who knows about her. On my maternal slde I flnd
I need Cemetery lnformatlon on Martha M. E. (BRUNETTE) DEAN, wlfe of Wm.
Mosea DEAN, who dled and ls burled ln Jamestown, Independence Co., Ark.
She dled 13 Dec 1908, & her full name was Martha Marguretta Emlly(BRUNETTE)
DEAN.
My mother's grandparents are really making problems: Matllda TAYLOR
marrled Isaac (Isaahl Izeah) JONES .omewhere ln Tenn. They ralsed thelr
faml1y ln Miaslsslppi. They dled ln Earle, Crlttenden Co., Ark. He dled
about 1900, & ahe dled ln 1906. That ls all the lnformatlon I have on thls
couple.
--I have only been actlvely searchlng for my ancestora for a short tlme,
but have become deeply inVOlved. Any lnformatlon wl11 be appreciated.

Mrs. Charles L. Dalton, 38703 - 31st Street East, Palmdale,
CA 93550 - Por over 8 years I have been trying to trace my
Great' Grandparents. John David TAYLOR, b. ca 1812, Georg1a,
migrated from Tenn., to Dallas Co., Ark., in 1837, married
Lovie Ann OLIVER, b. ca 1820 Georgia, died in August l8~O,

John David TAYLOR married Disdean HOLLOWAY in l8~~. In 1852 John
David sold his land in Manchester Twp., and was in route to California's
Gold Rush in 1853. In September word was received that he had died on
about Sept. 23, 1853, and legal action was taken to protect any personal
property he may have left in Arkansas. We do not know what became of his
second Wife, Disdean (Holloway) TAYLOR. The two little girls were brought
up in the home of Sheriff E. M. HARRIS and his first wife, Mathilda. If
anyone has any material on wagon trains whioh arrived in Dallas County in
1837 or on individuals from Arkansas who went to the Gold Rush, I will be
most grateful to receive any information.
