My father was raised by his grandparents CLARK near Hope, Hempstead Co., AR. According to various documents, my father was Odell Clyde HARLIN (aka Clyde Odell Clark), b. 17 Nov. 1923/24/25 in Jonesboro or Forrest City, AR, and was several years old before he went to live with his grandparents in Hempstead Co. (Dad died in 1984.) His mother's name was Ellen and she was alive in 1950. Family lore has it that Dad was related to Glen CAMPBELL, the country singer. Dad's grandparents were Presbyterians. Circa 1952 an older female relative named Wilma, possibly an aunt, was living in Hope. While trying to find my dad's family, I have reconstructed the family/descendants of John C. Clark (son was Squire Billy of DeAnn) and have acquired information about the descendants of Pleasant W. Clark whose descendants lived in Nevada and Hempstead Counties. I hope that someone can help me find the names of Dad's grandparents, but in any case I am happy to share what Clark info I have. Thanks, Lee Harlin Bahan, gpblhb@compuage.com

My father, Odell Clyde HARLIN aka Clyde Odell CLARK, was supposed to have been raised by his grandparents Clark in Hempstead Co., AR. Depending on the source, my dad was b. 17 Nov. 1923/24/25 in Forrest City or Jonesboro, AR. His mother's name was Ellen Clark, Ellen ROONEY, or Ellen R. Clark, again depending on the source. Dad lived with his mother until he was approx. three to five years old, and then went to the grandparents. The grandparents are supposed to have died in the 1930s and Dad then was sent to live with more relatives, supposedly in Grayson Co., TX. In 1941, when Dad enlisted in the Navy, he gave his home address as the residence of Henry C(lay) READ, Jr., of Ft. Smith, AR, another relative maybe. About 1952 Dad went to visit an older female relative, possibly an aunt, named Wilma who lived in Hope, AR. The grandparents were Presbyterians and family legend is that Dad was related to Glen Campbell, the singer, of Delight, AR. I'd appreciate any and all help finding the identity of Dad's parents and grandparents. While searching for Dad's Clark relatives, I have reconstructed most of the descendants of John Chatman Clark, esp. via son William "Squire Billy" Clark, of DeAnn, AR, and am happy to share my Hempstead Co. Clark database and contacts with other members of this branch of Clarks. Thanks, Lee Harlin Bahan gpblhb@compuage.com

Joe Harris Fri, 25 Jun 1999 22:02:44
I am interested in knowing anything about the marriage of James H. HARRIS-Margaret GRAVES . According to my information they married in Hempstead county the 29th of December 1859. According to the 1860 census they had a son, John T. Harris. A youngr brother, Ike Perry Harris Sr. was living with them. I am guessing that they had another son, Daniel Henry Harris, and two daughters, Sally and Ellen. I think that James H. Harris died about 1872. The widow and family moved to Sevier County. The son, Daniel Henry Harris became the first mayor of DeQueen. I would appreciate it very much any confirmation of my speculations. Hopefully some of the Graves family might have kept up with this family. Thanks, Joe Harris
