I am trying to find information on my great-grandfather, Will FRAZIER. I think he was born in Yell Co. -- at least he lived there most of his life. He married Caldonia TUCKER (b. 1862 in Yell Co, d. 1947). All of their 9 children were born in Havana.: Arthur, my grandfather (b. 1881, d. 1918), Carl, Roy, Chester, Lillian, Burl, Verna, Nettie and Hettie. I have information on Caldonia TUCKER FRAZIER, but I can't seem to find a thing for Will FRAZIER. My dad and aunt said that his mother was a widow named Sarah HODGES and that she had 3 boys when she married Will's father. My uncle, Jim FRAZIER, still lives in Havana, but he is up in age and doesn't remember much about the family history. My dad passed away 4 years ago and so a lot of the family history has been lost. How I wish I had listened more when he told me all the family stories! Most all of the family is buried in McBride Cemetary near Havana. (My grandmother was a McBRIDE).

TORRENCE / COLE / STRAYHORN / DAVIS / ROBERTS / HOWELL / STANCIL/STANSEL
My African American Families members lived in Yell county in the middle of the 1800's. Some family members still remain in the county (Mrs. Roy TORRENCE), although their numbers have decreased significantly. Based on family history, it is clear that many of my family members were slaves, or newly freed slaves by the time they arrived in the county. Historical traces of these family members are quite limited since few records of slaves seem to remain available in the country. Prior contacts suggests that the county court house burned many years ago and destroyed historical property records that might have been helpful. Of particular interest to me are the following individuals, their families of origin, any slave records, and other information that might help trace their histories: Monroe COLE-- born around 1847 and worked for the Strayhorns he lived in Spring Creek Township, District 2; married to Callie COLE; some members of the family took the name STRAYHORN after the end of slavery while others took the name COLE.
John Smith ROBERTS--born Sept. 2, 1842 near Old Lewisburg, Ark. Reported to have died around 1913 in Danville, Ark. Married to a Nan DAVIS. Lucinda Roberts HOWELL--born around 1825 in Danville; married to Capt. John D. HOWELL; they produced a large number of offspring: Alex and Anna STANCIL/STANSEL--born in the 1860's near Danville worked for the STANCIL family; John FOWLER--born around 1878 and reported to have died in Danville around 1930; married a Winnie STANCIL in 1899; My interests are in finding out more about these individuals, their histories, family connections, slave history (if any), origins (particularly to Africa and the Carribean), information about their owners, and places of burial. Any assistance or information that can be provided either about these individuals or about methods for researching more about their past would be welcomed.

LEACH / CROZIER
I am researching Thomas 'Frank' Franklin LEACH, and his wife Catharine 'Kate' (CROZIER) LEACH. Thomas Frank LEACH and family homesteaded in Yell Co. July 01, 1879. On the 1880 Census he was newly widowed with seven children, the youngest being 4 months old. He was back in Washington Co. Arkansas (where he grew up)living next door to his mother and father and his brother and sister-in-law. There are no Cemetery records in Wa. or Benton Counties for Catharine LEACH, so I believe she must have died in Dardanelle, AR. Are there any Cemetery records of News paper O-bits in your County for Catharine LEACH? Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

Ed Crump, Jr.
BROWN
My Inquiry actually involves two brothers: William Thomas BROWN b. Apr 9, 1828 Jackson County MO d. Feb 4, 1906, Altus, Franklin, AR -and- Halbert Montgomery BROWN (William's brother) b. Abt 1843 AR d. (probably) Jan 15, 1865 Dardanelle, AR. Hal was a Lt. in the Confederacy and William Thomas was a doctor for the Union Army.
The story is that Halbert "Montgomery" BROWN was shot in a skirmish at Dardanelle on Jan 14, 1865, and that his brother William attended to him. Unfortunately, Hal was mortally wounded with a shot to his chest and did not survive. He was in Co. "I" of the Arkansas 11th and 17th Mounted Infantry, but I do not know what unit of the Union Army William was in. He was supposed to be located at an Army Hospital near Dardanelle. Hal was in MS in Nov of 1864 with his usit, and I do not know why he was back in AR in Jan 1865.
Is there a Civil War expert in the area that would be familiar with this final skirmish at Darnanelle? And were there any newspaper, or other, accounts of the action there? Thanks.

Hi...I am looking for informatuion about my great grandfather, Robert Veazey, who, to the best of my knowledge, lived in Dardenelle. His daughter, Leila Veazey married Turner B. Carnall, of Fort Smith, in the early 1880's, I believe. I have a shred of a newspaper obit (no date) telling of his death, on the '19th', but no month or year...he is reported to have died at his home in Yell County. He was 72 at the time of his death. The newspaper story says: 'Mr. Veazey was one of the oldest and most honored citizens of Yell County. He had lived a long and useful life, being in his 72nd year at the time of his death. During the Civil War he served in the Confederate Army...' I have a copy of a letter he wrote to his daughter, my grandmother, in 1873, when she had 'taken the cars to Russellville,' where she went to college. I don't think the college is still there. Any help in getting information about Robert Veazey would be MOST appreciated! Many thanks! Alan C. Davis, P.O.
