Looking for information on Wimberly WATSON b. 1813 in NC. Married Nancy WILLIAMS in Bradley Co. AR then married Mary TURNER. They are listed in Moro Township on the 1860 Census of Calhoun Co.

Wimberly later moved to Sevier Co. AR.
I'm looking for info on my g-g grandfather Hale Talbert MITCHELL. He was born in Alabama ca. 1826, and his parents were, I believe, from South Carolina. He married Margaret A. LODGE KING Aug. 11, 1854 in Union Co. Ark. Margaret was born 1830 in North Carolina to parents Redmond LODGE and Temperance BRASWELL. Hale had two sons, John H., born 1855 in Arkansas, James P., born 1866 in Arkansas or Texas, and a daughter Clementine born 1869 in Arkansas. He joined the 4th Arkansas infantry, Company A "Calhoun Escopets", CSA, in 1861 and served until their surrender in 1865. He died April 21, 1900. Both parents are supposed to have been born in South Carolina. I'm also pretty sure he had brothers and sisters in Union County Arkansas, where he lived when he enlisted before moving to Miller County Arkansas after the war (his property included Cass County Texas). Thanks, Dennis Mitchell
