A. Virgil Barnhill, Jr. June 26 1998
Am seeking information on an Abel BARNHILL of Scott Co., AR. He is reported to have married Sarah MATTHEWS and they had three children: Samuel Wesley, b. 12 July 1868; Abel L., b. Nov 1869; and Lucinda, b. c1870. There were at least two BARNHILL families in Scott Co. in 1860 & 1870 but no connection can be established to them. They resided in Washburn Township in the northern part of Scott Co; this area was taken into Logan Co. when it was organized in 1871. I am aware that there were a number of BARNHILLS who carried the name Abel. Who I am seeking is the parents of the Abel BARNHILL who married Sarah MATTHEWS. I may be contacted at: A. Virgil Barnhill, Jr., P.O. Box 22621, Knoxville, TN 37933.

I am searching for anyone who might have any information on Elizabeth (RITTER) McBRIDE who I believe remarried, possibly in Mississippi, and moved to Arkansas, possibly Scott County. Elizabeth is believed to be the sister of Benjamin Franklin RITTER who I believe was in Scott County about 1880 to 1897/98. If anyone has any information on this family I am trying to determine the parents of Elizabeth (RITTER) McBRIDE and Benjamin Franklin RITTER. Benjamin is my great-grandfather. He and several of his children show up in the 1900 Indian Territory census around the Ada Oklahoma area.

Charles HICKEY, b. ca 1790, VA, and various members of his family, including son-in-law, Charles Newton TANNEHILL, moved to Scott Co. from Johnson Co., AR, after 1840 and before 1845. Charles N. TANNEHILL entered lands in Scott Co., in 1848. No BLM record is indicated for Charles HICKEY, but the original plat for T1N-R29W, shows the location of his field. Although Scott Co. records were destroyed by fire, it is possible that landowners re-recorded their deeds to document their land title. I would appreciate contact from anyone familiar with Scott Co. land records who may have noticed these surnames and any associates.

Bird and Louisa were both born in Tennessee, and were married in Rutherford County, TN in 1834. They lived in MO, TX and finally Scott County, AR.

Several of these children had families in Scott County: Sarah married William H. BUNCH, and he later ran off with her younger sister Judy.
