Caffrey Toni Kindrick I'm looking for information regarding Tom (Thomas or Tomi) Caffrey and Christiana (Christine) Martin. I think Tom's mother was Arabel. They were in Hoxie, AR during the 1920s.

Thanks in advance for trying to helping me find my family.

Gordon Mary Wilson Looking for any information on Joe Sire Gordon. Lived in the Egypt area of Lawrence co. as far as we can determine. This is my husbands Grandfather. We know very little of him, mostly his name and information from the 1930 census. At that time he was in Lawrence County. We have heard that he is buried in a cemetery in the Egypt area, but not having a death date has hindered us in our search. Would appreciate any help.
Hanks Linda Hanks I am trying to locate any information at all on the Richard J. Hanks family. Richard was born 1882, Ar. In 1900 he worked and lived with a James Fry and family in Lawrence Co. In 1910 he is listed with wife Viola Alley Hanks and children, Cordelia Odelia, and James Andrew. In 1920 Viola is listed with Mary Kckinney as daughter in-law in Cache township Lawrence. Viola had the three boys, James, Charles, and George living with her. 1930 Census shows James as married, George living with him. Cordelia was married and Charles living with them. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hoggard, Ragsdale, Wood Bedonna Luckner My family tree is a mess and I hope someone has heard of Charles T. Hoggard who married 2 ladies from Lawrence County and 15 years later married my grandmother Nancy Jane Mitchell-Shouflar. The first one shown in census records is Louisa J Ragsdale and they married Oct.23, 1898, had a daughter named Maddie or Mattie born April 1900 Then the records show that he married another lady named Mrs. Mattie Woods on Dec.13,1900. I think he may have been married a few more times before marrying my grandmother Nancy in about 1916. He told my Mom that his family was from Tennessee and he may have been born in Lonoke Co. Arkansas. He was a lead miner in the Chitwood-Joplin, Mo. and Picher, Ok. area and died of TB in 1936. I think he married each time for railroad or some other kind of pension money--perhaps an opportunist--just a hunch. Please share anything of interest. It will be much appreciated.
