My Scott County ancestors were Thomas J. METCALF born 1820 in TN and wife
Elizabeth born 1822 in TN. They lived in Texas from 1848, possibly before,
until 1869 when they moved to Scott County, Arkansas. They had 12 children,
all born in Texas: Francis Marion, William H. (Ham), Andrew Jackson, Mary,
George Washington, Martha, Nancy, Thomas J., Joseph Anderson (Joe), James
Monroe, Samuel Houston (Sam), and Henry Howard. One of their children, George
Washington, was born in Harrison County, TX and this is where they were
living when they migrated from Texas to Scott Co, Arkansas. I have not found
them listed on the Texas census or any Other records in Texas. Thomas and
Elizabeth METCALF homesteaded land in the Packsaddle Community of Scott
County and are listed on the 1870 census, Tumbleston Township, #129/130. I am
searching for the parents of Thomas and Elizabeth METCALF and for Elizabeth's
maiden name. Joseph Anderson (Joe), my great grandfather, was born in Waco,
McLennan Co., TX. He was married 3 times, first to Mollie (HUTTO) METCALF 24
Jul 1889, second to Nellie CATING 18 Jul 1900,and third to Annie CANTRELL 14
Feb 1918. Joesph and Annie moved to Lake City, Craighead Co, AR. He died
there 17 Sep 1921. I am descended from his first marriage to Mollie (HUTTO)
METCALF. I would like to correspond with anyone from the HUTTO, CATING or
CANTRELL families who have connections or information to share. Please
contact me at PO Box 13, Huntington, AR 72940 or phone

Looking for information on David Crockett RAMSEY, 1808-1899. Married second
Elizabeth ENGLISH (first wife unknown). They were in Scott County, AR in
1860 census and Sebastian County in 1870. David and Elizabeth's dau Millie,
b Dec 6, 1860, married my ggf Samuel Howard KENNINGTON, b Feb 14, 1859,
probably in Bowie County, TX. Sam may have been son of William E. KENNINGTON
and Susan A. POER who were in Bowie County 1840's-1860's although William
disappeared before 1860; Susan died 1869. Some oral family history suggests
Sam may instead have been son of one of William E. and Susan's daughters and
a man named TIDWELL but was raised by his "Uncle Bill" KENNINGTON. I am
guessing Uncle Bill was William E. and Susan's son William R. KENNINGTON, in
Yell County, AR in 1870 census (age 34 or 39, b SC) with wife Mary E.J., 21, b
TX, and dau Willie F., 1, b AR. If he was and did indeed raise Sam, the
proximity might explain how and where Sam met and married Millie abt 1878.
They and at least two other RAMSEY siblings went to Clay County, TX 1878-1879
and later were in neighboring Montague County. Would love to find a marriage
record for Sam and Millie in Yell, Scott, or Sebastian Counties. Please help
if you can.

COOK, HAWKINS, ABBOTT. James BUNTEN was on 1910 Scott Co. census with wife Laura

find out what happened to him. That line came to a dead end. Sarah Elizabeth GOODSON
was born in Georgia and married Jessie THOMAS in Carroll County, Georgia 1850. She
later married a BRANHAM and had daughter Laura "Mindy" BRANHAM. Laura married first a
COOK and then an ABBOTT and later married James BUNTEN. She had a brother, Columbus
BRANHAM. Sarah Elizabeth married third a HAWKINS. I am told he is buried in Scott County.
Some of our BUNTEN family still live in Waldron, Ark.
