Joseph Washington MILLER and Millie GALVESTON WOOLUM were
married in Calhoun County on 27 Oct 1888. I am trying to
find any other information on them. I need their families
and where they settled. Marriage certificate locates
Joseph MILLER in Fordyce and GALVESTON in Chambersville.
Anyone that could help any and all would be appreciated.
Searching for members of the Robert LYON family, who
moved to the area just after 1900. Robert's son, Owen
Berry LYON, married Ila SUDSBERRY from Calhoun County.
Ila's father, George SUDSBERRY married Mary Elizabeth
HOUSE, daughter of George HOUSE and Sara Jane JONES. His
father, Yelvington Tabb SUDBURY (SUDSBERRY) married Mary
BUTLER, daughter of Zachariah. Would be delighted to
share information.
I am looking for ancestors of Abner Truman ELLIS. He was
a resident of Calhoun County until his death. He held
many public offices in Calhoun County during his life,
including County Judge and was also once principal of the
Hampton Public Schools. He was born April 7, 1891 and
died February 12, 1958. He was married to Irma NICHOLS
ELLIS, a school teacher at the Hampton Public Schools. He
had three sons, Howard J., William Bruce (my dad), Joseph
Lloyd, and one daughter Patricia Jane (Patsy).
I've just traced my ggrandfather to Calhoun Co through
land records. In the 1870 census he and his family lived
in Saline but they must have moved to Calhoun shortly
thereafter. He was James Micaiah HOUSE and his wife was
Emily MAYFIELD HOUSE. They had William, Walter (who also
had land in Calhoun in 1906), Joseph Milton, Emma, and
Dempsey. James was a Methodist Minister and farmer. Any
info that you could supply would be most appreciated.

I am looking on any information on my g-grandmother
Missouri Oregon BUMGARNER. According to a 1900 census,
she was born in Georgia. She married Thomas Jefferson
SANDERS in Calhoun County, AR 2-27-1878. In the marraige
records on this county page she was shown with the last
name GARNER! My grandfather, Garland Anderson SANDERS was
born in Hampton, Calhoun, AR 10-29-1879. They raised him,
Letha, Alfred, Walter, Nora and Dorain Pike County, AR.
Looking for the parents of James E. FURR. He lived in
Locust Bayou, Calhoun County, Arkansas. He married twice:
1st wife--Mary Ann SHOUSE 1 child--Mary Ida FURR
(1864-1935) 2nd wife--Martha Bridges MCLENDON 3 children:
Alonzo "Lonnie" W. FURR, Daniel Raiford FURR
(1873-1962), and Brunette FURR (1876-1959)
STOVER, Joseph (born c. 1826) married JOHNSON, Elethea
"Leetha" Jane (born c. 1821), in Calhoun,
Arkansas on 17 Nov 1853. They are my
great-great-grandparents. Their son, John N. STOVER (my
great- grandfather) was born in Denton County, TX on 18
Feb 1861, so Joseph and Elethea apparently moved to Texas
prior to that time. This is all we know about Joseph and
Elethea. Seeking any information at all about them and/or
their other children, their own siblings and parents.
Very much appreciated.
Seeking any information on the HIGGS/SANDERS families
that married into the RIGGS family. HIGGS seems to have
come to Calhoun County by 1870's from Alabama. Any
information about these family lines are welcome. I have
much info on the RIGGS family, but hardly anything on
HIGGS and SANDERS.
Seeking information on a George HIGGS and Martha SANDERS.
They were on the 1870 sensus for Calhoun County Arkansas.
The family moved to Arkansas from Alabama. Need parents
of George HIGGS and Martha SANDERS.
