Jeremiah Earnest (1819-1864)  and his daughter in-law  Nancy Elizabeth Fryar (1853 in MS - 1880 )

What is the photo technique for Jeremiah's photo? Please email Olwyn.
There is a photo of  James T. Mullenix on this page. He sure is the right age to be a Civil War Vet. 
Any ideas what company he served in?

Jeremiah Earnest b: 1819 Sevier Co, TN. 

• Enlisted at age 43 in the 'Montgomery Hunter's 6 Jan. 1862 at Mt Ida, AR. 

• Discharged from company F, 4th AR Infantry, CSA 20 April 1862 due to dropsy (edema), a Private. 

• Jeremiah remarried at age 44 to Ellender Baggs, age 29. They were married in Montgomery Co. AR 10 Feb. 1863. Who were Ellender Baggs parents? Jerry's first wife was Sarah.

• Captain "Jerry" Earnest formed his own southern group, the Earnest's Company, a local defense company June 4, 1863.

• Seven of the men are known to have previously served in Company F, 4th AR Infantry; two are known to have previously served in Co. I, 33rd AR Infantry. Both companies were organized in Montgomery Co. 

• He was captured by the Yankee's in September 1863, convicted by a military court, and hung March 18, 1864 at Little Rock. In searching for Jeremiah Earnest's documentation, online Ancestry.com has the Civil War POW rosters. Jeremiah Earnest is listed as having been captured in Montgomery Co., AR on Nov 14, 1863. 
  Rank: Citizen
  Cause of Death: 18 March 1864- Execution.
  Number and locality of grave: number 4, 150 yards South of Prison Walls.

• The following newspaper article, which confirms the date of March 18, 1864. This is from the "National Democrat" (a Unionist newspaper published at Little Rock), of date March 26, 1864 --
  "We are furnished, by the author, with a printed copy of the particulars of the execution last week, which we failed to notice in our last issue for want of time:
  Retribution.
  On Friday last, the 18th inst., Jeremiah Earnest, of Montgomery county, and Thomas Jefferson Miller, of Hempstead county, suffered the penalty of death, for causelessly hanging Union men down in Dixie, during the past summer. They were hung in front of the penitentiary, where they have been imprisoned since they were captured by the Federal army, some time last fall. A fair and impartial trial was allowed them, and every opportunity afforded them to establish their innocence of murder; but their guilt of participating in the hanging of the two Ogburns and Childers, on the Antoine in Clark county, in July last, was beyond controversy, and now a just retribution has overtaken them, and this is but the prelude to hundreds of cases equally guilty, whose hour of punishment will certainly come sooner or later. Hundreds of good and loyal citizens of the United States have been murdered in cold blood, by mobs and bands of rebels acting under no shadow of authority but their own base passions. And these cruel murders, we are told are still being committed within the rebel lines. They may think themselves safe, and therefore continue these outrages, but a moment's reflection ought to convince any reasonable man, that the majority of the United States Government cannot thus be set at naught. Just as certain as any man engages, or participates by his presence in aiding to hang and murder Union citizens, just so certain will a just retribution overtake him. They need not think to commit their crimes surreptitiously, for "There is a chief among them taking notes," and all their black deeds will be hauled to light when they least expect it.
  J."

• Thomas J. Miller, Benton, Conway, AR
  Captured: Conway Co. AR on Nov. 24 1863
  Charges: Hanging Union men
  Executed: March 18 1864

Frank Singleton b. 8 Feb. 1837 is the head of the household with the daughters Cathern b. Dec. 1860, Ardenia L. b. 1866 to his right and the boy standing is John Singleton b. 1868.  He had thirteen children.  Frank died 1905 and is buried at Oden Cemetery.  Did Frank marry three times??

Nancy Jane WILHITE SINGLETON, b. Aug. 1844, Mississippi, a _ blooded Cherokee Indian, holding a baby. Can anyone confirm this? What is puzzling is the marriage index for Montgomery County, Arkansas give dates of marriage for Nancy Jane Wilhite and D. F. (Doctor 'Franklin') Singleton [b. 8 Feb 1837 - d. 1905] as being in the year 1877.  "The "D" in D. Franklin Singleton, I understood as a child, stood for Doctor, but not meaning he was a physician."  When did Nancy die?    Who where the parents of Nancy Jane?  "She was a daughter of Julius Alexander and Mary Jane "Polly" Fryar Wilhite and I've always heard that Polly was full blooded Cherokee. Polly's parents were Garrett Fryar and Elizabeth Goodner" Any Indian blood in the Goodner/Fryar lines?  Polly's sister, Nancy, married John Calvin Willhite brother to Julius A. Wilhite.  Can anyone identify the two younger children? Probably Vaden Bade Singleton b. 1869 and Hezekiah 'Hessie' Singleton b. 1870.

DNA TESTING
Firms offer three types of tests: on male ancestors, on female ancestors, and a third to determine a percentage of Native American, East Asian, Indo-European and African heritage. An anthropologist cautions results without family history prove little. The DNA tests are also unable to differentiate between Indian tribes. For some the motivation for a DNA test is just curiosity.

If the Cherokee connection is strictly matrilineal (that is, mother to mother to mother...), then a direct test of the individual's mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) would reveal Native American ancestry, but not necessarily identify the tribe. The Native American mtDNA haplogroups are A, B, C, D and X.
Patrilineal descent from a Native American [NA] ancestor (father to father to father...) would probably show Haplogroup Q or possibly C.

The percentage tests are iffy. There is supposed to be a better biogeographical assay test coming up that might do a better job of establishing reliable percentages. There are NO tests that can pick out a specific tribal affiliation. You are guaranteed to know no more than you do right now, but you'll be a couple hundred dollars poorer.

DNAPrint Genomics, and DNA Tribes tests use autosomal DNA. Your parents' Y-chromosome and mtDNA test results reflect only two people in each generation from your entire ancestry. You have 4 grandparents, but these only reflect your father's father, and your mother's mother, two grandparents are not represented. You have 8 great grandparents, but these two tests only reflect your grandfather's father on one side, and your grandmother's mother on the other side. Six great-grandparents are not represented. Those 6 could all be from different ethnic groups which would explain why DNA Tribes gave you so many different ones.

Jim Mullenix  

James (Jim) T. MULLENIX was born in Alabama in 1846. Married Nancy Ann Fryar at William Fryar's residence, Hog Jaw, in on 02 Sep 1869, service conducted by Lewis Shirley J.P.  Nancy Ann was born 08 Nov 1848 at Tippah County, Mississippi to Elisabeth and William Fryar.  Jim d.1912 and Nancy d.1890, are buried at the Mullenix Cemetery, Hog Jaw Cemetery, Montgomery Co. AR. It is an  abandoned, headstones were knocked down by cattle and are no longer visible. No death certificates filed.

Lorenzo Dowel's son Lorenzo Benton Willhite married Nancy Ann Mullenix daughter of Jim & Nancy Mullenix. Feel free to copy photos but please let me know. I want to gauge if anyone finds the photographs helpful.

John Henderson WILHITE and his wife Mary Lucinda Hickey Willhite

John Henderson (Dock) WILHITE was born June 10 1846, in Tippah, Ripley Co. , Mississippi to Julius and Polly Wilhite. He came to the Oden area in a wagon train with his parents and siblings in 1849 at the age of three. John married Mary Lucinda HICKEY on August 9 1866 and she was born January 31 1847 (I believe Pope Co. AR) . "Dock' died July 4 1933 in Mena, Polk County, Arkansas and is buried at Board Camp Cemetery. He was in the Civil War, a farmer and of the primitive Baptist belief. They had nine children including Elle Adeline Wilhite who married Louis Shirley and they moved to Marianna, Lee County, Arkansas. Mary died Jan. 18 1925 in Mena so this photo was taken before 1925. There was an article in the Mena Star in 1929 contributed by Julius Wilhite, the son of "Dock" Wilhite. See wagon train page.

Lorenzo Dowel WILLHITE

Lorenzo Dowel Matthew WILLHITE was born 27 Apr 1855 in Montgomery Co. to Nancy Fryar and John Calvin Willhite. When Dow was a young lad during the Civil War he and a friend were walking down a road in Montgomery Co. and saw some Yankees coming on horses so they made a dash for it and ran around a curve and one dove into the bushes at the side of the road and Dow dove into the river and hid in a cane island and barely stuck his head up so he could breathe.  A soldier on horse back rode around the island but couldn't find him. He was to afraid to go back to the house that chilly night so slept outside near a log scared of the noises of the night, the crickets, frogs and owls. "Yankees would shoot you and kill you".

He first married Ara Malindia SIMS and she beget eight children. Ara had previously been married to Robert DEES a Pine Ridge founder.  Sims, Montgomery Co. was named in honor of her brother William Perry Sims. Lorenzo's second marriage was to Molly Ann FRYAR 11 Oct 1889 and she beget seven. Who were Molly's parents?

"Dow" died in 1945 and is buried at the forgotten Willhite Cemetery along with his both wives and daughters Matilda b. Jul 1898 d. age 12 and Cannie who died at eight years.  Many of the unmarked graves are from the Sims, Dees, Willhite, Reed and Hoyle families.   Also buried here is Mary HAYS WILLHITE b. Oct 1863 at Illinois first wife George Alexander Willhite the youngest brother to Lorenzo. 

1904 photo. Lorenzo Benton Willhite and Francis Anna "Fannie" Mullenix m. in 1895 in Oden. The family lived in the Hog Jaw area. Calvin the boy on the right is the man on the right in the photo below. Lorenzo Benton Willhite was the son of Lorenzo Dow Willhite. The children are bare footed and attended the Hog Jaw school. Fannie's parents were James T. Mullenix. and Nancy Ann Fryar. Nancy Ann Fryar was the daughter William and Elisabeth Fryar. 

Photo taken in Montgomery Co. AR probably about the the 1930s. The man on the right is Calvin Willhite grandson of Lorenzo Dow Willhite. We do not know the identities of the two gentlemen. The house in the background is  made of logs with a wood shingles roof and a has a barrel on the right for collecting rainwater and there is some firewood on the ground behind the men. The photo is from my collection. I obtained  it from my husband's Grandmother, Cordie Willhite, a brother to Calvin on the right.  Calvin was born in 1897. They are all tall men.

June 2006. Update.
James Dees has a copy of this photograph and states that the other two men in the picture are Joseph Green Willhite on the left and William Lee Dees in the center [son of Robert Dees and Ary (Eiry) Sims]. They are all related in the photo. Cordie's father, Lorenzo Benton Willhite, was a brother to Joseph Green Willhite b. 1885. So Calvin would have been a nephew to Joseph G. Willhite.  Lorenzo Dowell Willhite first wife was Eiry Sims Dees and parent's of J.G.W. and L.B.W. which makes them half brothers with William Lee Dees.
