Roll Call - A note from the listowner
Mary & Kevin Feige 5/10/1999, 6:50:02 PM
I don't typically start roll calls, but since this list is so new and there are
now about 28 subscribers, it might be a good place to start. A roll call is
simply an email sent to the list ARMONTGO-L(a)rootsweb.com stating whom, where,
and when you are researching. Be sure to put "ROLL CALL" in the subject line,
along with the surnames.
Thanks -

McCullar 4/28/1999
by Rick, Carla & Kyra Brigance
John F. McCullar first married Susan Angeline Amerson in 1873. He then married
her sister, Sarah Jane Amerson in 1877. Sarah had been previously married to
Hughlet M. Baker. The 1880 Montgomery County census lists Sarah as a widow and
residing with her were her children: Jasper Baker, James J. Baker, William W.
Baker, Josephine Baker, and Marcus McCullar. In the 1900 Montgomery County
census, Sarah is listed with her husband, John F. McCullar and son, John P.
McCullar.
I presume the listing of Sarah as a widow was a mistake on the 1880 census,
since her husband John F. shows up on the 1900 census. Does anyone know what
happened to Marcus McCullar born 1879? He is not listed on the 1900 census, nor
have I found a marriage record for him. Did he die or possibly move?
Thanks to anyone who might could help.

Nancy Jane SUMMIT was born in 1870 to John Francis SUMMIT and his second wife,
Mary. Nancy Jane had two siblings: Henry Oliver SUMMIT born in 1878 and George
Washington SUMMIT born in 1880. Nancy Jame married Greenberry "Doc" MCCULLAR on
03 Aug 1884 in Montgomery Co., AR. Two children were apparently born to Doc and
Nancy Jane: Lula MCCULLAR born Nov 1885 and Lizzie MCCULLAR born Feb 1889. By
Oct 1891, Doc had remarried to J.E. MOSS. By 1900, Doc and the two daughters
were residing in OK. For this reason, I assume Nancy Jane must have died, or the
daughters would have been with their mother instead of their father. Lula and
Lizzie MCCULLAR were half sisters to my grandmother who is still living at the
age of 89.
Can anyone tell me what happen to Nancy Jane? Did she die, or did Doc and Nancy
Jane divorce? Any help would be appreciated.

.....one of our McConnell line was.....James Arthur McConnell is buried at Lone
Star cemetery. As the story goes, he was killed near Little Rock and they
brought him back to bury him in the family's lots. The south fork river (did I
get that right? LOL) Anyway, the river was up and it covered the low bridge (now
higher) that separated his body from Mt Ida and they buried him in Sims. Bev &

Hello. I am looking for any info on Peter Sutton. He was b. in Pike Co., m. Mary

helping provide music at a dance. Can anyone give me any info on him at all? I
don't know his death date, but is said to be buried in Low(e)'s Cemetery (where

Cantrell living in Mt. Ida at some point also - she died 1917 and buried in Big

destroyed by fire, but he re-built immediately. He also clerked in a store and
in the Post Office, and engaged in the insurance business for a time. He married
Mary Eliza Derr, 12-15-1859, in Montgomery Co., Ark. Mary Eliza was born

local cemetery. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church before her
marriage, later a member of the Primitive Baptist church, and then in 1885
again rejoined the M.E. Church. They had twelve children, eleven of whom reached
maturity.

"....In 1853 he was married to Miss Melvina Goodner, a daughter of John C.
Goodner, an early settler of this county. She died in October, 1862, the mother
of five children, two now living: John G. (a farmer of the county), and Josiah
M. (following the same occupation here). William C. (the third son, died
recently in this county, leaving a widow and three children). In February, 1863,
Mr. Smith married Miss Martha Deer, of this county, but she, too, passed from
life, her death occurring in October, 1864, leaving a daughter, Mary J., who was
the wife of Charles Laird, of this county. In October, 1865, Mr. Smith took a
third wife, Miss Mary Ann Fryar, of this county, she dying in October, 1883, and
leaving him with seven children to care for: Thomas O., Samuel L. Susan H.,
Granville W., Alfred F., Margaret A., and Elizabeth (who died in childhood).
Martha A. Shirley became the wife of Mr. Smith in August in August, 1888, she
being a daughter of Goyle Nobles, and widow of Jackson Shirley. She was born in
Louisiana, and died January 4, 1889. Mr. Smith is a member of the Primitive
Baptist Church, and politically, is a Democrat."

HUNTER NELSON FREEMAN - MANERVA THOMAS
suit 6/16/1999
Does anyone have information on Hunter Nelson Freeman. He was born ca 1874 in
Alabama, died 7-14-1943 poss. Garland or Montgomery Cos. Ark. I have found him
in the 1880 Blount Co. Al. Census living with Manerva Thomas, age 45, Margaret
Thomas, 24, Malissa Thomas 19, H.N. Freeman 6, D.A. Freeman 4, C.W. Freeman 2.
They were listed as nieces and nephew to Manerva. Hunter Nelson Freeman is
buried at Howerton Cem. Montgomery Co. where Manerva Thomas 1835-1898 is also
buried.
Does anyone have info on Manerva Byars Thomas. She was born in Blount Co. Al. to
John Byars and Rebecca Harwood, prob. moved to Tenn. where she married Mr.
Thomas. He died in the Civil War and may be J.J. Thomas who served in "1 Tenn
Volunteers". A M.A. Thomas from Montgomery or Garland Cos, Ark. applied for his
pension.
What information do I need, where do I find it and where do I get Civil War
Pension information? M.A. Thomas living in Ark. applied for J.J. Thomas Tenn.
Pension. I do not know where to go from here.

Hi, this is Shirley, editor of the Mountain Signal. I just happen to be working
on a family for the August issue that connects to who you are looking for. I
have not checked to see where in Louisiana the family comes from, but Martha A.
Noblels first married Jackson Shirley. She was born in Louisiana and died
January 4, 1889. She second became the wife of Sam
Smith, August 5, 1888. You will find this information verified in the History of
Arkansas, Memoirs of Western Arkansas, by Goodspeed, subject, Samuel M. Smith.
For more information on the family and its connections read the August issue of
The Mountain Signal. The Mountain Signal is Polk and Montgomery Counties ONLY
history magazine. There is a very interesting and ironic twist to the Sam M.
Smith story!!

Lackett, John 21 m. Nicholson, Martha C. age 18 14 Dec. 1873 Book A page 324
Should read Tackett not Lackett.
John Tackett b. Jun 27 1852 in Campbell Co. Georgia and moved to Montgomery Co.
as a young man where he met his future wife Martha Christian Nickolson. She was
born in Montgomery Co. AR Nov. 24. 1855. Their son George Alexander Tackett was
born at Caddo Gap Sept. 20 1889. They moved to Texas with their family of eight
and for a time settled in Poyner in Ellis Co. TX . Later moving to Mullin, Mills
Co. TX about 1899. John became the "Watkins Man" for Mills and Mullin Co. TX.
George married Iva Mittie Marler b. Sept. 10, 1912 in Mullin. Her parents were
Leona Traylor and Sam Marler. Source: Mills County History Book.
I am researching the Traylor family of Bienville Parish, LA, to Robertson Co, TX
to Millis Co, to Taylor Co, to Montgomery Co. today and at least five households
of descendants live in the Sims, Pencil Bluff and Oden areas.
Singleton Roots
Ronda Rowlett 9/22/1999,
I am searching for any information on my family tree. I am Ronda Singleton
Rowlett; my father is Bobby Fay Singleton, his father was Fay Singleton and his
father was Elbert Singleton married Emma(r) Pruitt; I believe his father to be
Joseph Joa Singleton. Although Joe Singleton's headstone says died 1880, and
Elbert was not born until 1883 could be a mistake on stone. Elbert has two
sisters, Radie and JoEllen, any information would be helpful, their mother was
Frances Ellen Fryar.
Thanks a million, Ronda.

Whittington b 1876, Alfred Fulton b 1879, and possibly Martha Almeda b 1880.
I also have a James B. Smith md to Sarah Wilbanks. The couple supposedly moved

coming to Montgomery Co., AR. Their children included: Margret Elizabeth

Could anyone help with maybe land or court record look ups of John Harwood
Wright and his sons Calvin, John D. and William. They were in Montgomery Co. in
1860 census and John D. didn't leave the are until about 1887. Would appreciate
any info on these men during and after that time.
I know John D. was in Civil War as a young man and he married Mary Eliz.
Robinson in Cedar Glades, Montgomery Co. in 1865. She was dau. of Gibson
Robinson. John D. and Mary had some children in Cedar Glades and others in Oak
Bower, Garland Co.. Ark.
Someone sent excerpts from a Mont. or Garland Co. book telling of Robinson and
John H. Wright and the lake now covering area and many cemetaries. And how
county lines changed. But would love any info on the father, John Harwood
Wright, (death, land purchases, sales) and of other sons Calvin Wright, and
William Wright.
