Marion Co TOC

Hello Linda: I think the name you have Atkinson linked to Nancy Brown probably is misspelled--Actkinson as you can see there were several Actkinsons in Marion County, AR.

2. JOHN DAVID² ACTKINSON (JOHN¹) was born April 1836 in Tennessee, and died December 25, 1902 in Leadhill, Boone, Arkansas. He married SERENA BEARD Abt. 1868. She was born 1848 in Tennessee, and died 1900 in Leadhill, Boone, Arkansas.

Notes for JOHN DAVID ACTKINSON:

John David Actkinson was buried in the Leadhill Cemetery with no marker. He was later moved when the Buffalo Shoals Reservoir was built in the early 1950's. (Info from Turnbow's Ozark Frontier Stories, Vol. 1, page 457.)

The graves in the Leadhill Cemetery were relocated to the Milum Cemetery north of the town of Leadhill. Milum Cemetery was an existing cemetery a new addition was built north of the existing cemetery. This was the largest cemetery moved during the Buffalo Shoals Reservoir Project.

Marion County, Arkansas Deed Book "A" , page 634 shows John D. Actkinson and wife granting property to S. B. Allen.

Marion County, Arkansas List of Grand Jurors for August Term 1891, Page 234 shows on of the jurors to be J.D. Actkinson.
