I am researching the ancestors and family of Levi WATSON who resided in Lawrence (now Sharp County, AR) from about 1855-1862. The family resided at Maxville. The Methodist Episcopal chapel at Maxville was named for the family. Prior to this time he resided in St. Clair Co., Alabama from at least 1820 to 1852. He was born in North Carolina in about 1792. His wife was Jane (probably OWENS -daughter of Jesse and Sarah OWENS.) He and others in his family (John WATSON) owned land in St. Clair County, Alabama (which is now in Etowah County). I believe that his parents were John and Mahala WATSON and that he had a brother Eli - but need documentation. Levi's children included Jesse (married Martha Ann (MORGAN.) (Their children included John Russel, Thomas P., James M., Nancy J.,Mary E., Josiah, Martha, Levi and William.) Elizabeth (married William S. BEASON) James M. (married Anna BROTHERS) Mary A. (married Benjamin S. SHIRLEY) Nancy A. (married Goodlen CHRISCO or CRISCO) Peter, Martha (married Russell JORDAN) and John WATSON. In about 1852 the family moved to Mississippi and then within a few years to Lawrence (now Sharp County, Arkansas). From there the family of John Russel WATSON moved to Scott County, Arkansas. I would like to share information with others researching this line. Dale G. Watson

I am looking for any information about Franklin Nimrod MOORE or any of his family members. Franklin was born in July 1862 in Paris, Arkansas. He married Mary Ellender POPE in Chismville, Ark on Jan 20, 1884. Both are listed as being from Chismville at the time. Mary was born Aug 1869 in Booneville, Sugar Creek, Scott County, Ark. to Henry & Sarah POPE. They had 9 children, all born in Arkansas (at least 3 in Ft Smith/Greenwood area 1888-1897). Franklin owned 38 acres in Logan County in 1890 (Sec:2/T:6N/R:27W). The 1900 Sebastian County census lists him as a farmer. It is believed that he died 1903-1905 in Sevier County (his last son was born in De Queen in 1902). A family myth states that he died of blood poisoning from a knife wound. His widow married a Charles ELLIOTT and later moved to Oklahoma. Any assistance in identifying his parents or siblings would be greatly appreciated.

Roberta Crabtree Mar 7 1997
Dr. Jessie W. CASTLEBERRY who has done extensive research of the Castleberrys, says the Castleberrys are of German descent. He said they were Kasselbergs and changed their name to Castleberry upon their arrival in the U.S.A. (My grandparents and great-grandparents said they were of Irish descent. Their speech indicated that to some extent.) Dr. Castleberry did go on to say, "The relation of this family (David Castleberry) to other Castleberry families has not been established to the Editor's (Dr.Castleberry) knowledge." Our local genealogist specialist at the History Commission in Little Rock says it is possible that David Castleberry and ancestors were Irish and when the Kasselbergs came to the U.S.A. they changed their name to the more popular name. Any comments, please.
