Searching for Peter McDANIEL born 1848 AR that married a Sarah possible maiden name was THOMAS. Sarah was born in 1860 in GA. On the 1880 Lafayette, Scott County census record this family is listed with a step son William J McDANIEL age 6 born AR and James T McDANIEL born in AR age 4. I believe this family also had a son named Alexander Coventon McDANIEL born in 1883 in AR. I believe this family may have moved to TX by 1900. I am trying to make any connections with this family to find out more information as the Alexander Coventon McDANIEL was my great grandfather.

I am looking for information on the family of John and Parlee WILLIAMS. They married on 9 August 1891; at that time both were 19 and living in Belva, Scott Co., AR. We believe that Parlee was the daughter of John & Hannah WATKINS but does anyone know who John's parents were? The US Federal Census 1900 Conway Co., AR ED8 lists a WILLIAMS, John b Apr 1871 with wife Parilee b. June 1874. Children with them are Clayton H (7)., Dollie A. (6), John M. (3). The next household lists WATKINS, John b. Nov 1847 with wife Hannah and daughter Cynthia A. b Apr 1885. We believe that the child Clayton H. may be Clayton H. 'Casey' WILLIAMS who married Allie KNAY 30 Nov. 1916 in Logan Co., AR.

I have found my Great Grandparents in the Scott Co. census (1900, 1910 and 1920) Thomas Allen HART (born:1862) and Mary A. JONES HART. Both were recorded as being from Cardiff when they were married 3/29/1900. According to the census Tom HART was born in IL 1862, and Mary JONES HART born in Arkansas 8/1883, (her parents also born in Ark.) I've been searching and can not find anything on their parents. According to my Dad they left Ark., divorced, Tom died in Kansas and Mary remarried and died in Missouri. The Ark. Vital records web site wants parents names for a search. Is there another site for birth information? They seemed to have stayed in Scott Co. Would appreciate any help or advice.

Following the recent death of my grandmother Mildred FARNSWORTH, I came across a clipping announcing the birth of my g-grandfather Frank Cyrus NEFF. His father was C.W. NEFF (probably Cyrus Worth) and was mentioned in the article as a policeman. However, I don't know if this article came from a Scott County paper or not. Frank Cyrus (aka Cyrus Frank) NEFF was born Feb 14, 1889 in either Dutch Creek or the White River area. Can anyone help me out by looking into records of law enforcement officers in the area in 1889. I would really like to know if C.W. NEFF worked in the area as a policeman, sheriff, or whatever.

I am looking for any info on the family of William ANTHONY b. 18 April 1802 in Ky., d. 26 Feb 1883, and buried in the old Anthony Cemetery near the Oliver Community in Scott Co, Ar. William is found on 1850 Scott Co Census in Hickman Township living with Ann b. abt 1827 in Tn., John b. abt 1828 Ar., Celia b. abt 1832 in Ar., Jane b. abt 1834 in Ar., Parcemina b. abt 1836 in Ar., George b. abt 1838 in Ar., Oliva b. abt 1840 in Ar., Matilda b. abt 1842 in Ar., Levina b. abt 1844 in Ar., and Dianah b. abt 1846 in Ar. Another ANTHONY family is located two houses down with the head of the household being Jesse ANTHONY, with another two more down named Finess ANTHONY, Jr. Next door to the family is listed the family of John D. WOLFE.

William and Anne are found on 1860 and 1870 Scott Co. Census in Lafayette Township. They are found on 1880 Census in Brawley Township. Eliza WOOLF aged 21 b. in Ar and listed as a niece is living with them. This leads me to believe that Anne might be my missing daughter of Andrew DAVIS and Lucinda WOLFE found in 1840 Johnson Co., Ar. Does anyone know anything of this Eliza WOOLF who was listed as a niece?

From an obit of 21 Dec. 1916, "Grandma" ANTHONY d. at the home of John DODD in Hon Township last Friday night. She had made her home with them for several years. Where was she buried and how was she connected to the John DODD family? I would appreciate any info on William ANTHONY prior to 1850, as to who his first wife was. Which if any of the children on the 1850 Census belonged to Ann and which to his first wife? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
