She is from North Carolina, born there about 1822 and is listed in the 1860 Montgomery County census as Whisnant and the 1880 Montgomery County census as Pettitt.

Then to Zacharriah M. Pettitt, Jan or Feb 22, 1865

She had 6 children by Whisnant, all born in Montgomery County and at least one by Pettitt, also born in Montgomery County.

PATTERSON: Am looking for the family of Abraham Marion Patterson, born 1824 in Winston-Salem, NC. Married about 1846 somewhere in Georgia, and moved about 1850-52 to the Big Fork, AR, are, which seems to have been shifted back and forth between Montgomery and Polk Counties a few times. The main thing I need is the name of his wife at the time, and I realize her maiden name would probably not be available in the AR census records; but even a first name and possible birth county in GA would help. They had two small girls, Lucinda and Elvira (and perhaps a third, Louisa b. 1852) when they arrived, and had two sons there, Henry Marion b. 9-18-1853 and James W. b. 1857. This wife then died, he married Nancy Bates on 7-24-1859, and they had nine children by 1878, about which time they left for LA and then OK. I realize that the AR censuses will not be of much help re his first wife since they arrived there after 1850 and she died before 1860, but perhaps someone out there has access to mortality schedules or other death records that would show her. Would also appreciate any concrete census or other information available on the family in 1860-1880, including the new wife Nancy and both sets of children.

The deceased was born at Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, January 19, 1842, and died at Black Springs, Arkansas, February 13, 1909, being 57 years and 25 days of age. Not withstanding the deceased had been in failing health for several months, his death was a great shock. He was sitting in his chair last Saturday evening apparently in better health than for some time past. About 8:30 the wind, rain and hail storm came up, somewhat exciting him when there came a heavy clap of thunder. This brought on heart trouble and he expired within fifteen minutes. Mr. Cunningham was an ex-Confederate soldier, a good citizen, and a man who won the friendship of those with whom he associated. He leaves a wife, a step son, A. L. SMITH of Slatington, a niece, Mrs. Irena STEWART, landlady of the City Hotel at this place, three brothers, one sister, and many friends to mourn his death. The interment took place at the Black Springs cemetery Monday afternoon, Rev. Howell conducted the services. Source: Newspaper Article, unidentified newspaper, date unavailable.  Another researcher.

ABERNATHY: I am trying to find some information on a Sarah A. who married Darius Abernathy.  I am guessing they married in Montgomery county Ark because most if not all the children were born there.  Now I could be wrong on this.  I  need all information on her and Darius Abernathy please.

JONES/HULSEY:  I am researching my ggrandfather, William Andrew JONES, born 2 January, 1867 in Arkansas, possibly in Montgomery County.  His mother was Nancy HULSEY and his father was Joseph JONES.  Nancy was living in the household of J. D. Moore in Marzan Twsp in the 1870 Census along with William.  She was listed as a domestic servant.  I do know that her brother, Benjamin Franklin HULSEY, was living in Montgomery County at that time.  I know nothing about Joseph JONES except that he was possibly part Indian, per family info.  I am particularly interested in the JONES side of my family.  Nancy and Joseph were not married, also per family info.  Would appreciate any help with my JONES family.

DONALDSON: I am seeking information on my great-great grandparents, who I believe may have been in Montgomery Co. AR. in the 1870's and perhaps into the late 1880's. They were Jon J.C. Donaldson and Cynthia Campbell Donaldson. They left Attala Co. Miss. sometime in the middle or late 1870's headed for Texas or Oklahoma. They must have stopped somewhere around Caddo Gap, as their oldest son, Oliver Alexander M. Donaldson, married Sarah E. Huggins there in 1878. Oliver's sister, Louise Missouri, married Andrew Hardman Welch, also of Caddo Gap. It is told in the family that Jon died sometime around 1887, and that his widow and children went back to Attala Co. Miss. Later they all moved to Louisiana. In the party with Jon and Cynthia, were Bulls, Burns, Birchfields and Sims. I have never been able to find the place that Jon and Cynthia actually lived, nor have I been able to find anything on his death or where he was buried. Does anyone have any information on this that may be of some help. I would greatly appreciate any information I can obtain.

MCKINNEY/CCOKBURN:  Would anyone have access to a copy of the newspaper for Montgomery or Garland for the time period of July 18, 1922 or the following 2 weeks. (or whatever the time period would be in)  I am looking for the obituary for: William McKinney, his date of death is July 18, 1922.  His wife, Martha Cockburn/Cogburn McKinney was alive at the time of his death. His home was in the old Elnora/Silver Springs area.

Apparently the Arkansas Vital Statistics doesn't have death certificates for the majority of 1922, or all of that year.(Got this from the registrar, the people in the office of vital statistics don't know this, so you pay for a look-up of something that should be there, that isn't).

Check the Arkansas Death Index first. Available at major public libraries and Montgomery County Library.

ABERNATHY: James Abernathy son of Daruis Abernathy and Sarah A. (I am yet to figure out what the A. stands for)  was born about 1880 I am guessing in Montgomery County.  Does anyone have the exact date of birth and or death and where he died and who he married.  Thank you very much for any and all info on this Abernathy family.
