Mr. Lyle Wood (the noted Marion Co Historian) and the Marion County Historical Association have graciously permitted parts of this book to be posted here to help all Marion County, AR researchers.

I would like to thank Mr. Lyle Wood and the Association for their generosity and their support.

This book is still under copyright of the Marion County Historical Association and may not be used for any purpose other than your own personal research. It may not be reproduced nor placed on any web page nor used by anyone or any entity for any type of "for profit" endeveor.

PLEASE NOTE! I will not be transcribing the information from the Pioneer Families of Marion County, Chapter 12.
