FENNELL
Would like to exchange information with others researching the
Fennell family in Arkansas. Three Fennell brothers - Morris D.,
Wade H. and Hawkins - were born in South Carolina and settled
in Union County, Ark., in the late 1850s. Morris D. and Wade H.
both enlisted in Co. F, 19 (Dockery's) Arkansas Infantry (Confederate)
during the Civil War. Morris was captured at Vicksburg and paroled.
Morris was in Brazos County, Texas, in the 1870 census, but he
had returned to Union County by 1882. He was drawing a Confederate
pension from the state of Arkansas when he died in Union County
in 1901. When his farm was sold in 1914, heirs were listed on
the deed as J.A. Fennell, S. Frank Fennell, W.W. Fennell, Willie
Fennell, J.L. Fennell (probably widow Julia L. Fennell, Morris'
second or third wife), Lizzie Fennell (wife of J.A. Fennell) and
Beula Fennell (wife of S. Frank Fennell). Janey E. Joyce in San

limited census records for 1830-1920 for mostly Calaways (all

Query: I wrote you the other day, but am not sure
the letter was sent. I am a bit of a novice on the internet, so
no telling where I forwarded your letter!
I am seeking information about my gg grandfather/mother William
and Elizabeth Ann Driskill Holcomb. They were from Union Co.,
Lafayette Township. Wm. is on the l840 census and secured land
patents in l842, 45. Elizabeth is listed as widow in l850. Is
there a catagorized list of cemeteries and inhabitants for Union
County and Clark Counties?
I am not, of course, asking you to research for me, merely point
me in the correct direction. Cemeteries and obituaries seem logical
places. Thank you. Pam Rogers 8l08 Palo Duro NE Albq., NM 87110

ar buried in these counties respectively. Their names were William
Holcomb, Union Co., died during the early l840's and John Harmon

I am a bit "stumped" as to where to look at this point.

DRISKILL/THOMPSON
It appears that you're the authority on Union County. I wish I
could be of some help...but I'm still looking. Do you know what
might be available in any libraries regarding Union County, especially
any books or articles that might have been written about Union
County history?
My ggg-grandfather, Obediah Driskill, was supposed to have owned
a sawmill (somewhere) in Union County, and died in 1843. I was
told that he and his first wife, Nancy Young, were buried in a
cemetery that was on a riverbank, that washed away around 1880.
Does any of this sound familiar? Apparently, there were some older
folks around the area who knew of the sawmill, and a place called
Scarborough Landing, but this was some time ago, and they are
probably all gone, now.
I hope to have a chance to come to Union County before the end
of the year, and would like to spend a day or two in any library
that might offer some historical reading material, and then hope
to look around the area. Any suggestions you might have would
be appreciated! Ed Driskill

GREENWOOD/McHENRY/MEIRS/QUINN
My gggrandfather was Dr. Oliver P. GREENWOOD born abt. 1826 in
Geogia. He moved to to Alabama and then to Arkansas. He married
Nancy L. MCHENRY in 1853 in Union Co. AR. Their children were:
William Karl, 1857; Kate, 1865; Dixie, 1868; Oliver P. Jr, 1870;
Martha , 1872; Jaspar, 1873; and Sophia, 1875. His brother was
Frank C. GREENWOOD, 1838 who lived in Morehouse Parish, LA and
he may have had sisters named Lucinda (married E.W. QUINN), Harriet
(married R.J. MEIRS).
I think his father and mother were W.K. and Mary GREENWOOD, living
in Champagnole, Union Co.
If anyone has any information on any of them please contact me.

WATKINS/BRYAN/PRICE/SMITH
I've recently returned (no $$ or time left) from an AR research
trip with more questions. I know that Union, Ouachita, Columbia,
Lafayette, Hempstead are intertwined. I have a Reuben B. BRYAN
m. Elizabeth Pernice WATKINS. After searching in those areas of
AR for several days, I found a Reuben B. BRYAN m. to an Elizabeth
PRICE, 1879 in a Ouachita Co. marriage index with all the same
info as my Elizabeth WATKINS I know that Reuben came into the
area around or before 1860. Elizabeth WATKINS parents came to
that area in early 1800's and Elizabeth WATKINS was b. abt 1840.
I'm trying to find proof that this is my Reuben BRYAN. From several
sources I show he was marrd to the WATKINS and from verbal family
history, he was married to WATKINS and was a Baptist preacher.
The Reuben I found info on in those areas was a Baptist preacher
and marrying people still in 1893. The Stephens Cemetary in Ouachita
Co., has the headstones for a R.B. BRYAN and E.P. BRYAN. My records
and other sources show Elizabeth b. 1840 d. 1892., This headstone
says b. 1840 d. 1892. In 1893 a census lists Reuben B. married
again to a Martha SMITH and my grandmother, Elora BRYAN and her
sister Allen BRYAN are listed with them. Marriage records index
indicate Reuben B. married a Mrs. Martha Smith in 1893. To further
complicate things a BRYAN family in the area shows in their records
Reuben B. married to Emily Elizabeth POLK!!! I looked at census
records and it shows a Robert B. BRYAN m. to this POLK. I did
find that several documents would only show RB BRYAN so I think
this local BRYAN family did not have the correct info. Even their
handwritten info from a relative had ?'s by the Reuben BRYAN name.
Reuben owned land, index shows poll and tax records, and some
of it was probably in Union County as well as Ouachita and Columbia.
I know he married people in both Ouachita & Columbia counties.
Since I ran out of time, I could go no further to unravel the
mystery. I really just want documentation that Reuben B. BRYAN
did marry Elizabeth Pernice WATKINS. My grandmother, Elora BRYAN
was b. in Stephens, AR, Ouachita Co. on 3/1/1879, documented on
her headstone and funeral home records and the 1900 census shows
her age with birthdate as 3/1879. The marriage index showing Reuben
married to a Elizabeth Price gives a marriage date of Oct 24,
1877. This would match with the birthdate of my grandmother.
My Elizabeth WATKINS was b. 1840. In 1877 she would have been
37 which means that she might have been previously married to
a PRICE?? Of course all our records show that she only married
once to Reuben B. BRYAN(t), name is spellled both ways.
Would appreciate help/info/referral as I'm stumped! TIA, Ina.

BRYAN/HARRINGTON
Would also appreciate any help to find a marriage record of my
grandmother Elora BRYAN to Ark(Archimedes) M.(Mahan) HARRINGTON,
probably between 1900 and 1905 in either Union, Columbia or Ouachita
Co. My uncle was the first born, in Stephens, Ouachita County,
in 1905 and my mother b. same place in 1914. Ark HARRINGTON is
from a prominent HARRINGTON line in Columbia county descended
from Andrew Jackson HARRINGTON, Sr. and JR. SR being one of the
first 100 settlers in this Southern area. Again, TIA. Ina

I am doing research on the Walker family who came to the community

I understand that Ouachita County was at that time part of Union

or would these records be in Ouachita County? When was Ouachita
County formed out of Union County? I would appreciate any information
you could offer. Thank you. Barbara Ray
