I have an AR mystery. The 1880 census of Osage Twnp, Benton Co., AR shows my gr grandmother Liva A. LINSCOTT as a 14-year old boarder with Jonathan DUCKWORTH (Age 60, b.MO), his wife Nancy (Age 54, b. KY) and their children Jonathan (17), Andrew (15) and Nancy (12), all b. AR. Arkansas is not a state even remotely associated with Liva's KS and IN family! What was she doing there? Her mother died in 1878, her father Francis Marion LINSCOTT had remarried in 1879 to a widow Sophia WOOD FOWLER. Nothing we know about Sophia leads to AR, but we wonder if the DUCKWORTHS could be somehow connected to her. At this time, we have no idea. The question of why and how long Livy was there or what the connection was has become extremely important because this census report is all we know about a 5-year chunk of her life during which she probably met her first husband, my gr grandfather Wm P. LAUTER/LAUGHTER -- who is another mystery. Even the slightest clue might help. These names ring any bells?

My gg grandfather Martin Qualls born 22 Oct 1815, Overton county Tennessee, died 27 sept 1838 in Berryville, Carroll county. I have extensive data (7500 people) on his descendants but can not identify his parents or siblings or his place of burial in Carroll county. Qualls descendants lived in Montgomery, Washington, Benton, Madison & Izard counties. We suspect that his father may have been James Quarles/Qualls or Robert Quarles/Qualls. Will be happy to exchange gedcom files.

KELLERNS, KELLERS, LUCE, HALL SCARBOROUGH I'm looking for information about a George B. KELLERNS or KELLERS. In 1930 he performed the marriage ceremony for Bill LUCE and Zena Carlton HALL. The marriage took place in Benton County, Arkansas, but George B. Kellerns' credentials were recorded in Union County, Arkansas. Zena had Scarborough relatives in Union County, Arkansas. Who was George B. Kellerns? Was he related to the Scarboroughs?
