-87-FROM THE PRESIDENT

DEAR MEMBERS OF THE ARKANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

" As the 2nd Quarterly went to press in June, your president was felled by a bout with virus ppeumonia, and therefore had no message.

As we go to press this time, all are busy preparing for the Annual Meeting to be held in Hot Springs at the Royal Vista Inn, 2204 Central Avenue, on Sunday October 14. Look for more detailed plans elsewhere in this Quarterly.

There is one change in the Constitution to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

ARTICLE VI b. (ELECTIONS) reads: "The Society shall elect five members to the nominating committee at the annual meeting. The nominating committee shall then select and report five names for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Addi­tional nominations to the Board may be made from the floor."

In our study of the constitution this year, many of the Dir­ectors felt that this Article needed clarification. At the June meeting of the Board, the following re-wording of this ARTICLE was recommended for adoption at the Annual Meeting.

"At the Annual Meeting each year, the Society shall elect five members to the nominating committee, to serve for the follow­ing year. This nominating committee shall then select and report five names for election to the Board of Directors, at the next Annual meeting. Additional nominations to the Board may be made from the floor."

Our Vice-President and Program Chairman, Mrs. Mario B. Cia, Sr., has worked out a varied program for the Annual Meeting and there should be some interesting reports from our very active committees, which will acquaint everyone with the inner work­ings of our society.

The Dutch Treat Luncheon before the Meeting will give us time to renew old ties and make new friends.

I am looking forward to seeing each of you in Hot Springs on October 14th.

Cordially,

if~??~ President

THE HISTORY OF THE CARDEN-SIMPSON LINES IN

STONE COUNTY, AR.Kll.NSAS

-88-

Sometime before 1860 (probably around 1857) Joseph Simpson, (born 23 February 1826, NC. - died 31 October 1915, Oklahoma,)and his wife Synthia Tl'o11inger,(born 10 February 1827, NC, died 17 September 1890., Arkansas) moved to Arkan­sas from Manchester Tennessee, where the Simpsons and Gardens had lived in mass for years. They first lived in a town call­ed Ozark where in 1862 their child Docto:r Franklin was born. This could have been the early name of M01lIJtain View, or they could have moved again. Anyway Joseph Simpson bought a farm of several hundred acres there. He was a blacksmith and far­mer. Grandmother said he gave several acres for the town of Mountain View to be formally laJ.d out. As he was the first in this area, this could be true. The other family in the area was Haileys and they are inter,-related in my lines. Here they raised their children and saw them settle nearby. Sometime after 1890 Doctor Franklin one of the children and his wife Isabel moved to Choctaw, Oklahoma. Later still Joseph Simpson and his second wife Ro Co Rawlet (married 15 October 1891, died 7 September 1930) moved to Oklahoma and resided with Doctor Franklin Simpson until their deaths.

7. S. B. Hailey, born 7-26-1870

In the death colum is also mentioned the name A. Monroe Elliott but the date is too faded to be read. This iSllro­bably the A. M. Haley above. Although initials were used:. and it is not known for sure, what the names were in order. It is thought that M. M. was Myrtle and M. C. was Mankins.

Rebecca George's parents are beleived to have moved to Mt. View also about 1870, as the 1870 census lists James George, born 1805 in Tennessee and his wife Margaret 1807 in Georgia. Rebecca was born in Tennessee but I h~ve not been able to find a GEORGE FAMILY with a daughter Rebecca. I would love to hear from anyone who might have this information.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Our thanks to Betty Jean Stout, 1922 E. Ja.ckson. Harlingen, Texas 78550. .

Much information was received by Betty Jean Stout, from two ladies, (her grandmother - Mrs. Minnie Lee Simpson Carden and her first cousin, - Mrs. Roscoe Harrison.) Both are into their eighties but still bright and with fair memories. She obtained copies of the information from the Haley Bible and the Simpson Bible Family sheets. Then supplemented theinfor­mation given there by writing many letters. Some information of the early family is available through the Tennessee State Library and Archives. For that information much credit must be given to Mrs. Hermione Embry, now retired.

One of the CARDEN ancestors is mentioned in Goodspped's History of Tennessee--Coffee County. From this information was obtained about the early movements of the family. Then a letter was written to a great great uncle who was about 95 at the time. He gave much information about the original bro­thers who came from England. He was a grandson of one of them and had heard the family story as a child. He was a gold mine of information.

Please write Betty Jean Stout if. you are working on any of these families or if you know. of anyone who is working on any of them.

NOTICE: Betty Jean Stout has a four volume set of books containing biographies of Tennessee people (about four thousand) and will be glad to check them for our members, DON'T FORGET TO SEND A SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE! & full names & general date at least.

-93-STRICKLAND FAMILY OF POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS

by Margaret Cowart

Frederick Strickland, the progenitor of the early Stricklands of Pope County, Arkansas was born 1736/41 in Hillsboro, Wake County, North Carolina and died November I, 1825 in Lawrence County, Tennessee. He married Mary Gibson, who was about the same age. He was in the North Carolina Continental Line in the Reyolutionary War and fought at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, South Carolina. He is listed in the 1820 Giles County, Tennessee Census. After that year the boundary line changed and he was in Lawrence County, without moving. His father could have been Frederick Uriah Strickland, found living in Wake Co., in 1725. His children were: Warren Gibson Strickland, born about 1775, NC, married

Mary D. Anderson Malachi Strickland Ruth Strickland Zachariah Strickland, born about 1770.. married Elizabeth James Strickland, JOM Strickland, born probably 1776

Zachariah Strickland is the only child that we have absolute proff showing relationship to Frederick (Rev. War Pension). Some records say Zachariah was born in 1770 in Kentucky (if so, Kentucky is very interested, as there is no record of a white child born there that early, and this

.must be an error). He died about 1841 in Lawrenceburg, Tenn. His wife, Elizabeth , was born about 1780 in South Car­olina., and died after 1850 in Pope County, Arkansas. Their children were: John G. strickland, born about 1801/3. South Carolina, marr­

ied Gracy Campbell Archibald I. Strickland, born about 1804, married Margaret

Foster. He remained in Tennessee. James C. Strickland, born about 1800/10, married Margaret A.

Craig. Samuel S. Strickland, born , married Sintha Ann Elizabeth Hamilton Strickland, born January 31, 1805, Ky.,

married Robert D. Ashmore Zachariah Mathew Strickland, born about 1811, Ky., married

Savle Vick M. M. Strickland, born about 1810/21, married William Carroll Warren W. Strickland, born 1818, Tennessee married Sarah, __ _

Family tradition is that four brothers came from Tenn­essee to Arkansas from 1825 to 1835. They were John G., James C., Z. Mathew, and Warren W. Strickland. Also a cou­sin who settled in Faulkner County, Arkansas. They were sons of Zachariah and grandsons of Frederick.

John G. Strickland was in 1840 Pope County, Arkansas Census, married Gracy Campbell and they had: Lucinda Strickland, born about 1830 in Arkansas, married N.

W. Copeland

Susll,n, Strickland, born about 1831/3, Arkansas, married John T. Willson

Williamson Strickland, born about 1834, Arkansas Malissa Strickland, born about 1842. Arkansas

James C. Strickland was in 1840 Pope County, Arkansas Census as: 1 male 20/30, 1 female under 5, 1 female 30/40. I believe this is the father of my Mary E. Strickland, born about 1837 in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, and married Andrew Mason (Dick) Matthews. In 1850 Mary E. (Strickland Matthews was living in the James B. Craig home. James C. Strickland married Margaret A. Craig, 29 August 1833, in Lawrence" County, Tennessee. Family tradition says Mary E. was orphaned young.

Elizabeth H. Strickland born 31 January 31, 1805 married Robert Doke Ashmore and had: Mary M. Ashmore Joshua A. Ashmore Samuel R. Ashmore Lucena Ashmore Cinda A. Ashmore Cynthia A. Ashmore Robbin D. Ashmore

(Elizabeth (Strickland) Ashmore's mother Elizabeth Strickland aged 70 lived with her in 1850).

Zachariah Mathew Strickland, born 1811 Kentucky died 1870 Pope County, Arkansas, married Savle Vick, who was born about 1811 South Carolina, and had: Eliza Jane Strickland Zachariah Samuel Strickland Marshall Strickland Elizabeth Strickland

Warren W. Strickland, born 1818 Tennessee married Sarah and had:

~J~o~hn--F~.-S~t~r~ickland Elizabeth Catherine Strickland Maranda E. Strickland Lucinda P. Strickland

Stephen Matthews, born about 1805 Tennessee was probably the son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Slaughter) Matthews. He grew up in Lawrence County Tennessee and married Sarah (Sallie) Perkins, who was born about 1805 in Humphrey County, Kentucky (according to her obituary, but there has never been an Hum­phrey County, Kentucky. There is an Humphrey County, Tenn­essee, but all censuses say she was born in Kentucky 111) She died June 9, 1882. They were in 1840 Marion County, Arkansas Census and in Pope County, Arkansas by 1842. They had: Daniel Matthews, born about 1830, married first to Eliza

-115-(BOOK REVIEW) MARRIAGE RECORDS (BOOK REVIEW)

VOLUME A 1843 1859

CRITTENDEN COUNTY. ARKANSAS BY

PAT ISABEL BROWN

This excellent publication of marriage records contains 430 Marriages with Grooms listed in alphabetical order and Bride's imdex. The age and county of residence is given in most cases as well as the person performing the ceremony and the date of the cermony.

This material will be of interest to researchers of the Memphis, Tennessee area since many couples came across the Mississippi River which forms the County Line to marry in Arkansas.

Over 12 percent of the total marriages during this period were couples from Shelby County, Tennessee.

This book has the names of the County Clerks who served in Crittenden County during this period (1843-1859).

Certificates of Ordination were filed on Four men and are included at the end of the Marriages.

Allist of the Justices of the Peace or other persons who performed marriages is very helpful to the Researcher.

The Author laboriously copied these records from a wonder­ful but very hard to read Old Hand-written unindexed volume in the office of the Crittenden County Clerk.

All of us owe this Author a debt for making this material available and especially for the index.

The Printed Beckett Antique Cover makes this volume very attractive.

Thank you, Mrs. Brown for this contribution to Arkansas Genealogical SOCiety Library.

Evelyn Brake Mosle~ Librarian (retired)

.. QUERIES -122-

Where do you stop counting your kin? If you are search­ing for a great-great grandfather your great-great uncle is the same kin to him as your great grandfather and you may find there was someone in his line that showed enough interest in the family to le.ave a re.cord. The following Query came for tOis, publication:

"Could you help me locate the town of WOODSTOCK, ARK.? My husband's great grandfather had two brothers who went to Ark. around 1870. South Carolina Court records show Thomas Lemaster lived in Woodstock and Robert W. Lemaster lived in Little Rock in 1877. Have found Robert in 1880 census but can not find Thomas." . Mr's. Herbert Lindsey, Jr., 139 Seven Oaks Dr., Greenville, S. c. 29605 , '

Robert W. Lemaster had a biograpoy in Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Central Arkansas- Goodspeed ~blishing Company - 1890. In this biography he named his father, Wesley, grandfather, Richard, and great~grandfather, Geor~e and also gave the name of his mother, Orpha (Lemaster also). He stat­ed the family moved to Georgia in 1853.

The name of the mother was known and proves this is the right RobertW. Lemaster. The names of the father, grandfath­er, and great-grandfather were not known. To add three gen­erations by the investigation of a great-great Uncle is pretty good.

A check of the 1884 Rand McNally Atlas does not reveal a Woodstock, Arkansas. Since Robert mentioned living in Geor­gia it. seemed logical to check that state--and sure enough-­There is Woodstock, Ga. (Cherokee County and Oglethorpe Co.) also Woodstock Mills, Ga. (Appling County.) So brother Thomas may not have been in Arkansas.

There are many mistakes in these Goodspeed Histories and the,above still has to be checked but Mrs. Lindsey is very happy and has new clues to work, but she would still like to contact descendants of Robert and they are possibly still in the Little Rock area.

The Genealogical Assistance Committee will answer all letters enclosing a SASE, and give suggestions on Arkansas material, researchers, etc. They do not offer free research.
