I am searching for information on the HAYNES family in Hempstead County in the mid to late 1800's. My gggg gf Edward Haynes is on the 1860 census in Hempstead Co. (spelled "Edard HAINES" in index--took me a while to find him). He was a Primitive Baptist minister, and helped establish several early Baptist churches in the area. The last record I have of him in Arkansas is a marriage he performed in Hempstead Co. in 1861. A family history written by his nephew J. J. Haynes states that he died in Hood Co., TX in 1868, but I can find no record of him there. Edward Haynes was the brother of Henry Haynes, who is buried with many members of his family in Macedonia Cemetery in Hempstead Co. There is a 10-year-old daughter(?) with Edward and wife Arry HICKS on the 1860 census named Matilda Englant(?) Haynes(?). I am also searching for any information about her. Barbara Ray

Need parents of Thomas HOLMAN: Thomas Holman was born about 1800 in North Carolina. He was present in Clark County, Territory of Arkansas, as early as 1829. Living nearby was a Joseph Holman, perhaps a younger brother or nephew to Thomas. During the 1830/1840s Thomas and wife Levisa (poss. KNAPP) were present in Saline and Hot Spring Counties, Arkansas, until his death in 1844. The youngest children of Thomas and Levisa were Joseph (b. 1836 AR) and Thomas (b. 1838 AR). Thomas (b. 1800) may have had a daughter or sister named Elizabeth who was found to have married a James L. Knapp during 1844 in Hot Spring Co., Arkansas. Following the death of Thomas, Levisa remarried to a John TRAMMELL Sr. and relocated,with husband and sons Joseph and Thomas, to Hempstead County, AR, by 1850 census.

I have been on several lists for years and I am re-running my information in hopes of making a connection. I am looking for death records, marriage records, birth records, or anything else that might prove useful. My family: John Thomas INGRAM m Louisa LINK 1/5/1881 in Independence AR. He is my gg-grandfather. I don't actually know where he was born, but I do have his death info and I know where he is buried. Louisa Link Ingram died along with a baby Ingram and 12 year old Sophia Ingram. The info I have said she is buried in Hempstead TX, but I am thinking Hempstead Co AR. I was hoping someone might have cemetery records on her or maybe the 1880 census records on her or John Thomas Ingram. I am looking for his parents or other siblings. Mary Ellen (Ella) Ingram m George W GUNN 9/22/1881 in Independence AR. She is my John Thomas Ingram's sister. Any info on their children would be helpful. I have their death info and I know where they are buried. Again, if anyone has the 1880 or 1890 census records and could help me find their parents or siblings. These families eventually came to Texas and I have all that info. I am looking for where these families were from and the other siblings. I believe their fathers name was James L Ingram.

STEWART -- My biggest family mystery comes from Hempstead county, and I'm hoping someone out there has a piece of the puzzle. I am searching for any information on William Stewart, b. abt. 1837, married Sarah Ellen HYDEN, Apr 10, 1861, Hempstead Co. However, he does not appear in the 1860 Hempstead census. He served in the CSA, Co. H, 17 Ark Inf., and died in a Little Rock Hospital during the war of what was probably pneumonia. I am at a dead end. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Lt. George W COOK, Jr -- I have reason to believe the above was listed in the 1860 cencus of Hempstead county at Washington, AR . Stories are that he died in Mississippi later on from an illnes and not from battle wounds. Maybe a Store clerk in Washington. Maybe his daddy was Capt. Geo W Cook whose title was not so much a military Title as militia in tenn.. Cpt Geo Cook died in Clark county in 1888. One Of his sons was dempsey ? cook, who married Madora RANDOLPH from Memphis, TN. The Cooks originally came from NC to TN and to AR. Tom Pat Cook, 1100 Oak Street, Crossett, AR 71635, 870 364 5002

I am researching the family of Martin Van Buren SALYERS living in Wallaceburg Twp of Hempstead Co. AR in 1900. It's reported he was born in Oct 1845 in MO. but he lived much of his life in Montgomery Co. AR. I would like to find out when he moved to Hempstead Co., when and where he died and where he is buried. It would also be nice to know when and where he married his wife, Mandy. I will be happy to exchange information I have on older children. Thanks, Fran. Mary F. "Fran" Salyer, 5301 SE 45th Place, Oklahoma City, OK 73135, (405) 677-7048, bus-salyer@msn.com

I am searching for my grandmother's birth father. The only information I have is his surname was GRIEF. My grandmother, Mildred T. CANNON was given (never offically adopted) to Dr. and Mrs. John Cannon of Center Point, AR around 1895. There was also a boy named Robert (Mildred's birth brother) given to another family in Center Point. Any information would be appreciated.

William A. "Billy" BURNS and wife Luraney____migrated to Hempstead Co. about 1870 from Carroll and Paulding Cos. GA. They had the following children and several migrated with them: Nancy, Seaborn B. BURNS born ca 1831, Henry Haynes Burns born Apr. 19, 1835, married Frances Elizabeth Penelope HARRIS, daughter of Elisha Harris, Samuel C. Burns, born May 23, 1841, and Mary Ann Burns, born ca 1845 who married Thomas J. PALMER in AR. In 1895 many migrated to Shelby Co.

I am searching for information on James H. CAMPBELL, and his brother, William Lindsey Campbell. They appear on the Hempstead Co. Census in 1860, but between then and 1850, when they were living with siblings in Hinds Co. MS., they moved to Morehouse Parish, LA and William married a Rose or Rosanne (last name unknown). James was in his 30's before he married in Hempstead Co. to Martha CLEGHORN, and had a large family. William L. died in 1864 in the Civil War. He served with the Ark. 19th Infantry. His wife never remarried, but lived in Nevada Co. but I believe this to be after the county of Hempstead was divided up, so she may have still been living in the same house, but counties changed. Could anyone help me on these Campbells. They are my great Uncles and I would love to contact any of their descendents who may be still around in that area. Thanks
