MYSTERY: "The Mysterious Grave of J. L. Wolf"...printed in
"The Madison County Musings", Winter 1996 issue: On the bank of a small
Ozark creek, just four miles South of the Huntsville Square, surrounded
by a thicket of small trees, stands a lonely tombstone which says "J. K.
Wolf, Departed this life February 1, 1862". Carved at the top is an open
Bible. The stone stands about 3 feet high and is about 3 feet across. No
one knows why J. K. Wolf is buried at this location, where he came from,
or what he died of. We do know that at this same time, there was a Confederate
Unit who camped for the winter within 1/4 mile of this grave. However,
there are no military records to show that J. K. Wolf died and was buried
here. Evidently he was not a native of Madison County, since he does not
appear on census records. Some people think he was a Captive of the military
group and that he was killed. If anyone is researching the Wolf surname
and has a missing person, we would like to hear from you. Since this article
was printed in Winter 1996, we have had no response to our inquiry about
J. K. Wolf.

MYSTERY:
Whatever happened to Caleb Kirk? Where is he buried?
While on the trail of my genealogical research, I come up a man by the name
of Caleb Kirk. Caleb Kirk lived in the Bowen Township with his wife
Ellender and children in 1850. Caleb and Ellender had a son John W. Kirk,
that we believe is the link to our missing family tree. My grandmother
always told me that she never knew her grandfather or great grandfather
because they got into some trouble and change their names to Roads or
Rhodes. She was not sure which. Well, it just so happens that in 1869
Caleb Kirk was in trouble with the law. In 1860, Caleb Kirk is located in
Franklin County. Caleb was involved in a murder trial that created
considerable interest in Franklin County and his case was moved to Sebastin
County. The ancestor or ancestors that we are looking for may not be
buried in any graveyard. The story is that he was found dead with two
hound dogs by Law Officers in a log cabin somewhere in that part of the
state, and that is where he is buried in the Northwestern part of the
state. Can anyone solve the mystery? I would love to know if Caleb Kirk
is my Great Great Great Grandfather, and if his son John W. Kirk is my
Great Great Grandfather? Where are they buried?
MYSTERY:
When did David and Thomas Jackson arrive in Arkansas? Was it 1818, or
sometime later? When was it?
Goodspeed said that David Jackson and his son, Thomas Jackson were the
first to settle on Jackson Creek in Madison County, Arkansas, around 1818
(See Northwestern Arkansas, Madison County, pg. 1096). Others have
questioned the date of their arrival.
I am one of their ancestors and I think that they did arrive in Arkansas
about that time.
Goodspeed states that David and Thomas Jackson WERE the first settlers on
Jackson Creek in Madison County twice. I have shown you where he states it
the first time in the citation listed above. Goodspeed says the same thing
on page 1115 of the same book. Therefore, this remains a mystery. Did
they or did they not arrive in Madison County around 1818?
MYSTERY:
I am looking for a Richard Moore born in 1833-4 in SC but he took several trips to Boston Mountains so may have had relatives there. He spent most of his life in Troup County , Ga, and served in Civil War from 1862-1864 and was wounded and captured, He is said to have died in Boston Mountains in 1890-1895. His wife was Malinda or Elizabeth.
Richard's son, Joseph Daniel Moore, must have been there in 1887 because his daughter, Carrie B. Moore, was born there.
Anything to solve this Moore mystery???

are shown in the 1860 census of Madison Co., AR. Both William and Jeannetta
were born ca. 1834 in Missouri.
Enumerated next to them was Joel C. Stites and wife Elizabeth Ann (Howard)
Stites; she was the sister of William D. Howard above. Joel Stites and
Elizabeth Howard were married in 1841 in Gasconade Co., MO.
The unsolved mystery is the identity of the parents of William D. Howard and
his sister Elizabeth Ann; she was born around 1825 in Missouri.
Where did the Stites and Howard families go when they left Madison Co.?

She passed away when her children were young, and they have a hard time remembering what she looked like.

If anyone out there has one, we would truly love to have a copy. Her name was Audie Ivy McCOY HULL, she was born 26 Apr 1906 at Drakes Creek, died 27 Feb 1946 at Drakes Creek. Married John Floyd HULL. Her parents were David Green McCOY and Julia Ann JOHNSON.
