They settled at Mammoth Springs, native from North Carolina which was then an Indian camping ground known as (Head of the River) in 1852. She lived on the farm for 41 years which was 4 miles south of Mammoth Springs. (Uncle)Tom Wooldridge conducted the service whom was acquainted with the deceased more than a half a century. She was buried at Moten Church graveyard. They had a daughter who married a Rally Whiteside but my mom isn't sure of her grandmother first name but does know her grandfather was Rally Whiteside; they have a daughter named Rose Whiteside which was my mom's (mother), my grandmother, and she married Henry Jefferson Rush which was my mom's (father) my grandfather.

HACKWORTH
In the Burks Chapel Cemetery, there are 2 listings for the surname HACKWORTH. This interests me greatly because my ggfather was born in Arkansas & it is a large area to research without any known county!!! Do you have any volunteers that might be able to check census or vital records for the time frame 1870-1880? Although, the dates of the persons listed in the cemetery indicate that they would not be parents of Jorell, since
there is one family listed it is at least a starting point. My ggfather's name is Jorell Richard HACKWORTH (b. 14 Nov 1869, Arkansas). Parents are
unk, only sibbling that I have a name for is "Molly" & I do not know if she is older or younger. Jorell was married & starting a family in Oklahoma in 1886. ANY sighting of a HACKWORTH surname would be a tremendous boost to my effort of family history & I would gladly take up the chase from there. Additional info for Jorell is that throughout his life he was also listed & referred to as "Joe" or "Joseph".
Fed land bureau records indicate 4 land patents for Fulton Co., Arkansas area:
HACKWORTH, James -- 11/13/1895
HACKWORTH, James -- 11/13/1895

HALL
I have hit a brick walls on my Hall lines, so I thought I would pose a
question that may provide a break through, and at least give us something to
chuckle about. Do any of you have and Hall ancestors that were hung as
horse thieves in England?
At one point in time my grandfather Elmon Hall had the ancestry compiled on
his family. The story passed down to me was that his wife's line was
related to Stephen "Grover" Cleveland (the late president) and John Hancock
(of Declaration of Independence fame), but his most notable ancestors on the
Hall line were horse thieves that were hung in England. One evening as the
family was perusing the information, family members began teasing him about
the contrast in his family background and his wife's. He apparently did not
have too good a sense of humor about the teasing and gathered all the papers
and threw them into the fireplace, where they quickly were turned to ashes.
Needless to say, no one in the family ever mentioned it to him again, but
the story has been passed down ever since.
In my research, I did find a direct connection to Cleveland and a connection
by marriage to John Hancock, so I believe the story is more fact than
fiction, especially given the very formal nature of this grandfather. I
have traced this Hall line back to Dr. John A. HALL who was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio about 1825, became a medial doctor in Tennessee, married
Hanna Elizabeth BEMIS(S) in Tippecanoe, Indiana in 1848, moving to Danville,
Illinois in about 1875 where he remained till his death in 1896. I have yet
to find any further information on him regarding his parents or possible
siblings, though I am following up on a Lawrence Hall naturalized in
Tippecanoe, Indiana about the time of John's marriage to Hanna, as the given
name of Lawrence has been used several times in successive generations. I
do know that John's father was the original immigrant from England.
My husband is also descended from a Hall line which we have traced back to a
Will or William Hall in Arkansas. We know he died sometime after about
1970, but haven't located his exact location or birth or death dates as yet.
This William had at least one son named Eulis Hall born Sept 3, 1909, and
died Nov, 1981 in Salem, Arkansas. Eulis's wife was Velma Lane born Oct.
14, 1910 and died May 29, 1997 in Franklin, Arkansas.
Please contact me if anyone has any possible connections to either of these
Hall lines, or if you have any rumors of ancestors that were hung as horse
thieves in England. Looking forward to some interesting replies on this
post! LOL Submitter: Maggie Hall

"Cydney A. Shed" Uncle and discussed a couple of his brothers, I believe her to be one of their children) or maybe their sister's child. Cydney Shed was born in 1822, M. J. Would have had to be born between 1840 and 1860 probably in Georgia.

I am having trouble locating the whereabouts of several of the parents.
Carmen's mother was Cynthia "Elizabeth" Kissee Wright. I have found land

Elizabeth and Jacob was the father of Frank Jones. Jacob was married to
Eliza Mason. By the time my grandmother married in 1929 the family had
moved to Oklahoma, but I don't know if the grandparents were still alive.
I would very much appreciate any leads on my missing family members!
She was a sister to William "Bill" Elmo Jones, Donald "Don" Orville Jones

the late 20's early 30's.
(UPDATE) Frank Jones was born in Missouri, but according to her death certificate Carmen was born in Mammoth Springs in 1887. She was the sister of Edward, John, Jesse, Charley

My grandmother, Ollie O'Dell Zentz, was a citizen of Mammoth Springs from late 1889 until approx. 1893-95. She was married to Elmer Zentz and I know he voted in the 1892 election in Mammoth Springs. My grandmother contacted TB and they moved to Mt. Vernon MO sometime between
1892-1895, I suppose so she could be hospitalized there. From MT. Vernon, my grandmother was sent to Colorado, where she died, sometime between 1896-1898 ( I have as much as 5 different dates for her death). According to old family letters I have, she was buried there, but Colorado has no record of her death and/or burial place. There was also a baby born in 1896, Wade, who died shortly after birth. Colorado has no record of his birth or death. My great-grandfather remained in Mammoth Springs until about 1897. He owned some land there, and formed the Zentzton township, selling off parcels of it, and he was also a Presbyterian minister
in the town. It seems to me that there might have been an obituary for either Ollie or the baby Wade published in the Mammoth Springs newspapers since part of the family was still there. I wish I had clearer dates, but I don't. The ones I believe are most accurate are March 1, 1897, with January 3, 1897 coming in a close second. I have gone through the newspapers of
Pueblo Colorado (she is thought to have died near there) and found nothing. Is there anyone who could check the newspapers of that time for an obituary? Or are the newspapers available
where I could check them via internet, microfiche, or something? My greatest desire is to locate the place and time of my grandmother's death so we can settle a mystery which has been puzzling our family for almost 100 years. Any help or advice you can offer is appreciated.

Andrew Jackson Holloway and his wife Margaret/Peggy Tharp, immigrated to Fulton County Arkansas some time before the 1880 census. I am searching for any information on them. Here is what I think, that I know? Andrew Jackson HOLLOWAY was born June 11, 1830-1840 in Tennessee, his
parents were born in Virginia. Margaret or Peggy THARP was born 1831, in Tennessee, her parents also were born in Virginia. Their children were; Rebecca HOLLOWAY born, 1858 in Tennessee; Daniel HOLLOWAY born January 1863 in Tennessee, buried at Saddle Ark. He married Francis MOSEY
Anthony HOLLOWAY born Dec 13, 1863 in Tennessee, married Florence WHITE on July 27, 1890, buried at BURK's Chapel, Camp Arkansas. Nancy HOLLOWAY born 1867, in Alabama. William Preston HOLLOWAY, born June 11, 1869, in Tennessee, married May 13,1891, Ruth Cordelia WHITE, both buried at BURK's Chapel, Camp, Arkansas, Ruth was sister to Florence WHITE, wife of Anthony
A. or maybe, Erie HOLLOWAY, born 1871, in Missouri John HOLLOWAY, born 1874, married Grace Anschultz Jesse HOLLOWAY, born 1879 in Arkansas. Andrew very likely had a brother named Anthony, he his wife Julia, children,John HOLLOWAY 1848, James HOLLOWAY 1849, Sarah HOLLOWAY 1851, Rebecca HOLLOWAY 1853, William HOLLOWAY 1856, Mary HOLLOWAY about 1859, were also in Marion County Tennessee for the 1860 census, with Andrew, Margaret and Rebecca HOLLOWAY. They may have also immigrated to Fulton County, Arkansas, not yet confirmed. Family stories give him another brother named Green HOLLOWAY, not yet confirmed. Contact me if you think we match.

interested to see if any obituary exists for him or his wife Jane BYRD (1872-1952) buried beside him in the Flint Springs Cemetery. Also interested in any will or probate docs that may exist for Carroll BYRD or Jane BYRD in Fulton Co. records, etc. Have considerable info on the
