JOHNSON posted by Hubert Neal Johnson on Tuesday, November 21, 2006: I am the eldest son of Hubert Riner JOHNSON. I am compiling a comprehensive document about my father and am searching for information about him and his family ... G. W. and Voila Gertrude (Riner) Johnson were his parents. My father died when I was 5 and we moved away from Holly Grove shortly thereafter so I have few memories of my own. Any help would be appreciated.

KITTS, MCBRIDE posted by Karen H. Nabours on Saturday, February 10, 2007: I am seeking information on the Jacob McBRIDE and Susan KITTS McBRIDE family. Susan KITTS father was John KITTS. I am wondering who Jacob McBRIDE's family was. He was born in Arkansas about 1822. There is a Delilah McBRIDE who is on the 1840, 1850, and 1860 census. There is also a John McBRIDE who is on the 1830 census. I am wondering if John McBRIDE and Delilah McBRIDE were the parents of Jacob McBRIDE. Jacob McBRIDE died in 1850 after the census. I am wondering if the McBRIDES who are on the census page are kin to Jacob, and Delilah is on the next page. Does anyone have any knowledge about Delilah McBRIDE, and what her maiden name was?
