LYKINS I am looking for Anna Middaugh Lykins that was born Dec. 15 1856 in Webster, New york and died Jan 26, 1936 in Hope, Hempstead County, AR. She married Wayland Lykins Dec 15 1871 in Columbus, KS. About 8 years ago, I physically checked the cemetery records in Hope and did not find her. Short of requesting a death certificate, can anyone give me any further suggestions?

Looking for information on Silas Monroe HAMILTON (also perhaps known as "Rhoel" Hamilton) of near Hope (Hempstead County), Arkansas, father of Jesse Martin Hamilton (one of 7 sons & 4 daughters). Jesse Martin moved to Oklahoma territory in about 1892 with his wife Mamie (nee Monagan) and my father Amby A., born in 1889. I need any information available on Silas Monroe Hamilton, his place of origin and date of birth, his parents, when he went to Arkansas, his Civil War history if any, where his ancestors were from, and other facts or "theory". Other sons of Silas Hamilton were: John, Hiram, Fayette, Wilce or Willis, Albert, Sanford; daughters included Amanda. We have a photograph from 1888 showing 6 sons and father Silas. We also need any information on Silas' wife and her ancestors. They were farmers on a small acreage near Hope, Ark., too little land to allow the sons to take up farming, and the children had to leave as they matured. We don't know his burial place or when he died. Anything would be helpful and much appreciated. Also photos. Thanks.
