Holland and finally ended up in England. I think. Then America. The name was pronounced

Nevada Co. I would like to contact any of their descendants or any of the descendants of William

I talked with Ike HARRIS who was age 92 in the early fifties. He was a Grandson of Edward
Adley Harris who was the father of six boys and two girls that came with him from Montgomery
County Tennessee. I have seen the graves of some of them at the Nubbin Hill Cemetary at
Missionary Grove Baptist Church located North East of Prescott. Could you tell me when they
came to Nevada County? Apparently Edward Adley Harris was born in Virginia around 1806 and
a woman lived with him that was born about 1782 and her name was Ann Harris. Is there
information available that would help me go back futher? Is there any of these Harrises still living
around Nubbin Hill? Is there any information about James H. Harris, the son of Edward Adley
Harris who apparently died soon after coming to Nevada County. Thanks, Joe Harris

My husband's grandfather, Samuel Ellis LARGE, is said to have attended school is Prescott. I can
find nothing on him in Arkansas. He had a son named Bill by a marriage maybe in Arkansas. He
remarried and moved to Oklahoma in 1901 and had several children, among them William Roly
Large, my husband's father. Samuel never talked about his earlier life and I have been unable to
find anything about him. I hope you can help. Thank you, Carol Large

CHAMBERS, Henry Clay, born 1846 in McNairy Co, TN to Andrew Jackson and Elizabeth
Chambers, moved to Salem, MO around the Civil War because of family differences. After the
War, he went to Hot Springs, AR, where he met and married Mary Amanda NEIGHBORS. He
always claimed MO as his birthplace. They moved to Nevada Co, AR, and after several children,
Amanda died, 1880-82. Henry married Mary ROBERSON and lived in Wolfe City, TX. Later in
life, he married Elizabeth BLANTON. Henry possibly lived in OK once, around Tipton. When he
died, he was buried in Polk Co, AR near Potter, AR. Looking for info on Mary Amanda
Neighbors -- parents, birth-death- marriage dates/ places, etc. She was born in SC. Any info
appreciated.

On the 1880 Nevada Co. census, Broughton Township, David STEWART/STUART is
living with his wife , Lenora Browning Sloan Stewart. Also in the household
is Lenoras son G.B. (Beau ) GORDON. In 1870 they are living in Clark County
Ark. in the South Fork township, near SLOAN families. Her first husband was
William Stevenson Sloan. I have never found this family after the 1880
census, and I would like to know when Lenora and David died, also what
happened to the Gordon child. I have lots of Sloan info that I will share.
