Am looking for any information on the descendants of William Wise
Tharp & Marry Jane Healey of Siloam Springs, Benton County,
AR. William Wise Tharp born 10-AUG-1824, Champaign OH died shortly
after moving his family to Siloam Springs, Benton County, AR in
1890. His wife, Marry Jane Healey Tharp, and he had the following:
Elizabeth Jane Tharp (1860-1937), married James King. Mary Ann
Tharp (1861-1935) married Henry Clark Sarah C Tharp (1866-) William
H(omer)? Tharp (1869-) James Harvey Tharp (1870) Frances Belle
Tharp (1872-) who married a Titus and a Joseph Marten Mathias
W Tharp (1874-) married Clara L or Fala E Charles Albert Tharp
(1877-) Margaret Rosella Tharp (1880-1967) married & divorced
(with return of maiden name) James W Shaw. Later married Frank
Oscar Joseph Anderson. This entire family appears in deed books
in Siloam Springs Benton County when they sold off parts of their
father's estate (1898 & 1904). While none were born in Benton
county, most appear to have been married there ... at least once
:-)

W(illiam)? Shaw was born in England before 1850. He died in or
near Siloam Springs, Benton County, AR before 1895. His wife and
daughter's names were thought to be Corah Mary. The wife was widowed
by 1895 and baked pies for miners to make money. They lived in
a covered wagon. James W(illiam)? Shaw, the son, was born in Siloam
Springs, Benton, AR in 1875. He married Margaret Rosella Tharp
on 13-DEC-1895 in Siloam Springs, Benton, AR by J A Petty, JP
filed Bk D4, page 203. They traveled extensively. In and out of
Indian Territory, down to Mena, Polk, AR, etc. James was sent
to Leavenworth Prison for a year and a day for committing adultery
with a "half-breed Indian, named Cora Davis". (He appears
to have a real "thing" for Cora's ... it's his daughter's
name, too.) James & Margaret Rosella were divorced (he was
a no show) 30-MAR-1903 in Siloam Springs, Benton, AR. James is
thought to have died somewhere "out west", possibly
AZ or OR circa 1950 in some sort of train accident. Any information
concerning any members of this family would be much appreciated.
It's a real stumbling block for me.

Seeking information on my CLEMENT (possibly CLEMENTS at some point)
ancestors. My g.g. grandfather was Curtis Washington CLEMENT,
b. 1842 in ?, d. 1916 in Pea Ridge, Benton Co. Arkansas. Curtis
married Mary Ann ROGERS (b. 6 Jul 1848 in Northern MO, d.1 Dec
1910 in Bentonville, Arkansas) on 26 May 1867 in Benton Co., Arkansas.
Their children, all born in Benton Co., were: William Alexander,
b. 7 Mar 1868, Ida May, b. 6 Apr 1872, d. 4 Aug 1937, Fredonia,
KS, John, Charley, L.A., Grace, Eska, and Burton. Ida May CLEMENT
married Seth LEECH, Sr. in Bentonville, Arkansas on 25 Jun 1891.
Seth was from Kansas (I don't know what he was doing in Benton
Co.!). One other possible CLEMENT was Curtis Washington's father,
also named William Alexander, b. about 1820. I don't have any
verification on him, though. Does anyone look familiar? Any and

and later in lumber. First date is 28 Dec 1860. Mentions several
names/customers from the area. Need to know if he was related
to Sylvanus and Ambrose Blackburn? Where did he live before Arkansas.
This family moved to Missouri in Lawrence Co. by 1870. Any help
appreciated.

I am looking for any information regarding my grandfather and
grandmother. I believe my g-father Eliga Allen Collins was born
there on 4. march 1879, he married my g-mother Ada Mae Collins
(Lodgson) around 1927-30 they had twelve children, the first 5
in Benton County, the rest in Mannford, Oklahoma (I think). I
know my g-father requested his SSN in Benton county and it was
issued 432-16-3159. I also know that my g-father was married before
in Benton county and that his first wife died altho I dont know
her name, there were also 10 children to this marriage.The hardpart
for me is that I am trying to do this research from Germany whereI
have NO access to this info. I thank you in advance for any assistance.

says that at the time of his death the weather was bad so they
could not take him back to Newton County to bury him and he was
buried in a small country cemetery near Decatur. His death certificate
states that the undertaker was Jas RILEY. Anyone know of funeral

March 1855 and have not been able to locate a specific place,
Mary Ann GRAMMER (Polly) born 27 Jul 1848 supposedly Mill Springs,
KY (Pulaski Co.). Cousins I have reconnected with have told me
that old letters lead them to a GRAMMER family in Benton Co.,
AR @ 1890s to 1910s but no definite relationships. What I DO know
is that Polly was deaf. Her parents were John W. GRAMMER and her
mother is believed to be a Mary or Sarah LITTERAL (unsure of spelling
of last name). Polly's mother died and apparently John GRAMMER
married another woman whose first name was Margaret and another
woman (who raised Mary Ann - Polly ) named Sarah. In pictures
of the family it states "a neighbor girl, Ola, Minnie, John
W. GRAMMER (Mary Ann's father), Sarah (John's 2nd wife and Mary
Ann's stepmother) and Johnny. Any help you can give me is appreciated.

I have an AR mystery. The 1880 census of Osage Twnp, Benton Co.,
AR shows my gr grandmother Liva A. LINSCOTT as a 14-year old boarder
with Jonathan DUCKWORTH (Age 60, b.MO), his wife Nancy (Age 54,
b. KY) and their children Jonathan (17), Andrew (15) and Nancy
(12), all b. AR. Arkansas is not a state even remotely associated
with Liva's KS and IN family! What was she doing there? Her mother
died in 1878, her father Francis Marion LINSCOTT had remarried
in 1879 to a widow Sophia WOOD FOWLER. Nothing we know about Sophia
leads to AR, but we wonder if the DUCKWORTHS could be somehow
connected to her. At this time, we have no idea. The question
of why and how long Livy was there or what the connection was
has become extremely important because this census report is all
we know about a 5-year chunk of her life during which she probably
met her first husband, my gr grandfather Wm P. LAUTER/LAUGHTER
-- who is another mystery. Even the slightest clue might help.
These names ring any bells?

Clarence's age at the time of his son's birth was 22, Emma's age
at the time of her son's birth was 18.
Dwain Donley DAVIS' middle name, DONLEY, was thought to have been
a family name or possibly another surname associated with the
DAVIS family. Any connections, or suggestions on where I go from
here would be much appreciated.

Please contact me if you have any information on Rev. Lewis HEATH
shown on the 1850-1860-1870 Benton Co., AR census. In 1850 he
is found in Pea Ridge with his wife Elizabeth and daughters Martha
14 and Louisa (?) 14. He is buried in 12 Corners Cemetery just
NE of Pea Ridge, dates: 09 Jan 1801 to 22 Nov 1872. He may possibly
be the Lewis HEATH who married Elizabeth RAY in Williamson Co.,
TN in 1817. There is a Lewis Heath on the 1830-1840 Bedford Co.,
TN census who could be this same man. Lewis and Elizabeth's daughters
were born in TN. I need to know if the Martha HEATH shown on the
census is the Martha R. b. 16 Feb 1836 TN who married George Sylvester

I'm interested in finding out about my maternal grandmother's family.
She grew up in Pea Ridge with the name Kathryne Keen. Her family
changed the name to Keene while she was growing up. (I'm clueless as to
why.) She was married once before she married my grandfather, James
Ellis. They made their home in his native Barry County, Missouri. I
don't know who my grandmother's first husband was. I believe her
father, Wesley Keen owned a sawmill outside of Pea Ridge. Hettie Keen
was her mother's name. They had 4 children; Billy Wes, Connie, Kathryne
and Willis. Anything you can find would be greatly apperciated!!!! My
e-mail address is JOsteen176@AOL.com.

Lane 11 Jan 1998
I am searching for my Lane ancestors. My grandfather was John Edward
Lane ( b. 14 Sept. 1885, d. 30 Mar. 1962). He was married to Lora Allen
Shipley ( b. 28 May 1889, d. 22 Jun 1944). They are both buried in
Afton, Ok. I believe his father was Charles Lane ( b. 21 Apr. 1859, d.
22 Oct. 1899) and his mother was Julie Ann (Trout?)Lane Proctor (b.
1868, d. 1956). Both Charles and Julie are buried in Dickson Cemetery,
outside of Cherokee City, Benton County, Ark.
Also buried in Dickson Cemetery is David Lane ( b. 1851, d. 1916). I
believe he might be Charles' brother. Edward G. ( b. 1831, d. 1917) and
Mary A. (?) Lane ( b. 1831, d. 1908) are buried in Dickson Cemetery. I
believe that Edward G. and Mary A. Lane are the parents of John and
David. I have no conclusive evidence other than are buried next to one
another in Dickson Cemetery.
I have recent pictures of the above mentioned Lanes in Dickson
Cemetery.
Does anyone have any information on these Lanes??

I am currently involved in extensive research on that part of
Benton County known as MONTE NE. Would be interested in hearing
from anyone with information pertaining to the late William Hope
"Coin" HARVEY (1851-1936). Also looking for other persons
whose families lived in the Monte Ne area between 1900-1963, who
might be able to give me a better picture of the town and its
residents. In my research, I have come across such names as HUMMEL,
Millie; GRAHAM, Barry and Josephine; CRONENBERG, Miriam. Am especially
interested in seeing photgraphs taken of the area between 1900-1936
and hearing stories of from time period.
