President's P a g e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Welcome to the pages of The Arkansas Family Historian. Since 1962, members of the Arkansas Genealogical Society have sought to preserve our state's genealogical and historical records through our publication. and to create a forum for the exchange 01 family history information. This effort would not have been
possible without the support of all our members scattered throughout the nation. Several of our new
members have asked how they could help. Well,since you asked: wr~e an article about your Arkansas
ancestor, copy a family bible record, inventory a cemetery, abstract a church record or a county tax list: let
our readers know about a new Arkansas historical or genealogical publication; share copies of old family
letters, diaries, Civil War correspondence, etc.; and, of course, keep those queries coming in. If there are
new or diflerenttypas of features or articles you would like to see, let our editor know.
Is There A Map In Your Future?
As the winter months overtake us, now is the lime to begin collecting material for another season of research. One of the basic research tools all genealogists need are maps. They allow us to see the "lay of
the land" before we venture out into the highways and into the courthouses. Many researchers do not
know that they can obtain a free current highway map for almost any state simply by writing the highway
and transportation department of the stata of their interest and asking for one. Not only do these maps
give current information on roads and county boundaries, but they list the many small communities that ata
not on so-called travel atlases or even on post office directories. If you need a current state map for Arkansas, wr~e to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, Map Sales, Room 203, P. O. Box 2261,
Little ROCk, AR 72203 (501-569-2444). You can usually obtain the addresses of similar agencies in other
states by writing in care of the state capitol building. When you write or call, ask for a complete catalog
and price list for obtaining copies of county maps as well. Many of thesa agencies now have copies of
historic maps that one can purchase as Well. In Arkansas, copies of detailed county maps dating from the
1930s are available for purchase. Here is a list of companies that specialize in reprinting historiC maps:
Northern Maps Co., Dunnellon, FL 32630; The Gold Bug, P. O. Box 10998C, Alamo, CA 90457; and J.
Sheppard Books, Box 2020, Plaza Station, Albany, NY 12220. Write for a catalog and indicate the state of
your interest, and the time frame. You should also contact the state geological commission In the state of
interest about copies of detailed U. S. Government maps.
A Tribute To Dr. Marion S. Craig
The entire genealogical community in Arkansas has been saddened by the recent death 01 lormer AGS
President, Dr. Marion S. Craig. of Little Rock. Marion was born in Batesville, AR, the son of Dr. M. Stark
Craig, Sr., and his first wife, Mary Case. Most 01 his ancestors were pioneer settlers in Lawrence and
Independence counties. He was a retired Litlle Rock physician and devoted much of his life to his interest
in genealogy and family history. He had authored some 25 books and numerous articles on these subjects. He served for many years on the Board of Directors of the Arkansas Genealogical Society and was
its president for two years beginning in 1977. After his retirement in 1982, he and his wife, Evelyn Torrence
Craig, spent many hours working as faithful volunteers at the Arkansas History Commission in Little ROCk.
Besides his wife. he is survived by one son, Dr. Andrew G. Craig, a daughter, Catherine Clinger, and two
grandchildren. He died October 21, 1994, at his home in Lttlle Rock at the age of 74. All of us will miss his
wise words and kind attentions.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 8 2 9 Sheriffs Census
Lawrence County, Arkansas Territory
Submitted by Dr. Marion S. Craig, 300 Beckwood Dr., Little Rock, AR 72205-2615; a native of Batesville,
Independence Co. and former president of Arkansas Genealogical Society. He has compiled 27 published
books and numerous articles in the field of genealogy and family history research. He does not sell his
books; rather, copies are given to various libraries and societies.
The Legislature of Arkansas Terrnory ordered that the sheriff in each county take a census of all
inhabitants, free and slave, for the years of 1823, 1825, 1827 and 1829. This was done, but, unfortunately,
only a few complete censuses have survived the ravages of time.
The 1829 Sheriff's Census of Lawrence County has survived, intact and complete. The original
enumeration sheets are at the Arkansas History Commission in Little Rock, which Dr. Craig photocopied.
In 1829, the County of Lawrence was comprised of seven townships, namely: Spring River, Union, Columbia, Current River, Lebanon, Strawberry and Davidson. The county seat, Davidsonville, was always located
in Spring River Township and never in Davidson Township.
This listing provides a complete and true transcription of the names appearing in the same order as
they appear on the original enumeration sheets. The same spelling has been retained, though obviously,
the enumerator spelled some names phonetically. Only the head of each household appears by name. All
members in a household, including the head, were enumerated in various age groups, namely: White
Males Over 21, White Males Under 21, White Females over 14, and White Females Under 14.
Slaves owned by each household appear on the census enumeration sheets, not by name, but in
various age groups, namely: Under Age 10, Age 10 But Under 16, Age 16 But Under 45, and Age 45 and
Upwards. For lack of space on a page, I have listed with each household the total number of slaves rather
than the various age groups.
This 1829 census is very important to genealogists because quite a number of the names do not
appear on the 1830 Federal census of Lawrence County.
Lawrence was created on 15 January 1815 as a county in the Territory of Missouri. Out of Lawrence
have come, in whole of in part, 32 of the current 75 counties in the State of Arkansas. She is known In
Arkansas as the "Mother of Counties."

Ave., Alliance, OH 44601-4531
McLeans Bottoms, Franklin Co., Arks.
Dec 1st 1845
Dear Charles
It is a long time since I have written to you and I am
ashamed to apologise. I have been the busiest
man in this state I am sure. I am quite married and
have been so some weeks. I cannot tell you what
sort 01 woman my wile is but I hope you will see her
some time & then you can judge for yourself.
I have abandoned the idea 01 visiting N. York state
lor 2 or 3 years or perhaps not so long. I cannot
leave home without great sacrifice, and I know
although it would be a great satisfaction to me to
see home, it would not compensate me for the loss
of time & expenditure of money which would be a
necessary consequence.
But Chas, that need not prevent you coming to this
state & I assure you would do well at least I know
you can do as well as you can in your state, if you
had been here for the last 2 or 3 years you could
have done well & I have no doubt that the same
opportunities will occur again. I should like very
much to have you come out if you are desirous of
visiting I am sure you can do so as well here as any
where & il any thing turns up in the state you will be
here to avail yourself of it. I am settled now & have
a house to invite you to & I know you will be
welcome as long as it suits your business or convince (convenience?) to remain.
Chas. O. Collins is at Fort Gibson & is the Quarter
Master under whose superintendence the work is
going on, He wrote me a letter when he lirst went
up & urged me strongly to come up & see him I
promised myself to pay him a visit when I went up
to get married but my home alfairs claimed my
attention at that time so imperiously that I set? at
once home again.
Now it is possible if you were to visit him that he
might give you some situations which would
promise? something for the present at any rate.
The lady whom I married is of good family although
much decayed in point of wealth & at this time by
no means rich though in comfortable circumstances. She has 2 house women 01 her own but they
are in Alabama where most of her family reside & I
have no time to go for them--I think I shall some
lime go to Ala to see her folks and thence eastward
10 see my own.
I have recenlly purchased 40? acres of land at
$10.00 per acre & I must now pay lor it which will
take me some time. money is so hard to get herebut I can get along if I ever get my place improved
as I wish it. II is troublesome & expensive in this
country to built & improve a place. I have not yet
finished my houses & it will be 12 months before I
get enough done to live as I desire to.
But I keep going & will be well settled some time or
other. Chas. I have every thing wrong to write you
a decent letter this night but I will make amends for
this & other negligence another time. I have a bad
pen & a crude knife. rough paper & no opportunity
of supplying the defect. I rec'd mother's very kind
letter a few days ago & will answer it as soon as I
can. I shall send you all tho a notice of my marriage when I mail this & you will then know a little
more about it than I have told you in this hasty
scrawl. I have had a heavy _ace this year & find it
difficult at times to obtain a supply of ingredients
for Hok's river has gol out of sorts late years. It
gets too low for boats or I t Is so high that it overflows everything within its reach. Always on the
eXlreme.Our first snow is now falling. It is a cold
disagreeable night and the wind is howling In
northern style around us tonight. I want you to
come out as soon as you can find the means to do
so & you shall find with me a home as long as you
can content yoursell & I think you can do well
enough. bear this in mind & act accordingly.
Not a word from Dan lately. I owe him a letter & will
pay it. Give my love to all & remember me to all
our friends. Good night.
Dec 5th I have not had an opportunity to mail my
letter as yet--I see Dr "G. C. Powell" getting much
credit for chalk beds &c. There is another Richard
in the field. It is Dr. Wm. Byrd Powell. I have
enough to do with the bowels of the inhabitants to
Pal:,t(; '164 ~ Vo!ume 32, ]\;umbcr4 - December 1994_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __

We have had 2 weeks of the coldest weather that I
have ever seen in this state. The ice is now 5
inches thick & the Arks river is frozen across at this
place. The wild turkeys & other game in abundance flock to the bottoms for grapes of which
there was a plentiful crop this year. If you were
here you could amuse yourself finely killing turkeys,
geese and cluckers? we often go out & kill 9 or ten
fine fallUrkeys al a hunt.
by Desmond Walls Allen
Write me as soon as you get this & tell me all the
news and do not take umbrage at my not writing
sooner for I assure il has been no other cause than
multiplicity of engagements which occupied all my
time.

Boosting or B o a s t i n g ? ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Unda Reed Evatt, PO Box 164, Conway, AR 72033
Copyright 1994, by Unda Reed Evatt. All rights reserved
One of the characteristics of the nineteenth century
was what was known as "boosterism." The term
meant that each place advertised itself as the best,
fastest growing, the most pleasant, the most
prosperous, etc. This advertising, bragging, boosting occurred regardless of the size of the town. It
was all tied to economics. Land owners were
promoting their area to make money on the property they owned and hoped to sell at a profit. Businessmen dealt first in land, and these men related
personal and
public growth, public and private
property. As Daniel Boorstin said, "Not to boost
your city showed both a lack of community spirtt
and a lack of business sense."(I) As more and
more people came to an area, land prices went up.
In order to get more people to an area, they had to
be attracted by public improvements: bridges,
roads and streets, railroads, water supplies, sewers, parks, schools, hospitals. And these public
improvements themselves depended on growth.
The competition among communtties for these improvements was fierce.
Newspapers were an
integral part of competition. They promoted an
area just as hard as the landowners. They wanted
more people to have more subscribers to make
more money. The newspapers that had the government printing contracts printed legal notices,
laws, legal documents. In public domain areas the
newspapers fulfilled the requirement that homesteaders advertise final proof notices six times
which stated they had followed all government
requirements to claim land. At the same time the
papers were fulfilling the printing contract, they
were boosting their particular area. Tradesmen
were also involved in boosting their own town.
They, of course, hoped to prosper from increased
trade for their businesses. It seems that all of
society was in the business of promoting, boosting,
boasting. See Boorstin's The Americans: The
National Experience for full treatment of this
dynamic aspect of our history.
Individuals were on the look out for better prospects than they had at home: cheaper land, better
jobs, prettier women. Their friends who had moved
on were urged to report on what they found in the
new areas. All of the public boosting and boasting
slipped over into private letters. Some of these

reports have survived in leiters mailed to their
friends back home. One recipient of such leiters
was William H. Evatt of Waldron, Arkansas. The
letters and documents quoted here were found
among the papers of John Wesley Evatt (26 Dec
1863-27 Aug 1956) who was Will's next younger
brother. They are currently in the possession of the
author of this article. No attempt has been made to
"correct" spelling or punctuation.
Will Evatt was born in Scott County 21 January
1861 to John Washam Evatt (1829-18 Dec 1887)
and Martha Payne Evatt (23 May 1833-23 Aug
1900) who had moved from Walker County, Georgia, the year before, Will was the fourth of ten
children born to this couple. He was employed by
his father in his mercantile business for a time. He
subsequently served as assistant postmaster and
then as town marshal for two years.(4) The letters
he received sometimes reported on the females in
whatever area the men were located ("Girls here
are scarce wtth the exception of Chippies there is
plenty of them;"(2) and "spanking good looking
girlS"(3). Some also noted religious revivals(''We
have been having a Big meeting here it lasted 2
weeks & there were 117 conversions. And most of
them were old men who had been sinners all of
their lives. Atch was converted & baptized - & is
quite a different man to what he was."(5) or "By the
way did you get religion during the revival,"(6)
But, mostly, the men wrote of business conditions.
From his first cousin John Wesley Evatt (9 September 1864-12 Feb 1949), who was a medical doctor

Improving some.
Both John Wesley and Elijah O. Evatt had returned
to Arkansas by 1900. John Wesley was listed on
the Washington. County census In 1900 and Elijah
was In Conway County the same year.
Even the older settled areas had their own
boosters/boasters:
I have been very busy all summer
. You see both of the houses do
an extensive credit business. and
now during the sickly season I sell
an increased amount of Drugs - I
average about 20 prescriptions
per day. Besides the other Drugs
& then I have the books of both
houses to keep & Therefore all of
my time is occupied.
I have

got them. I am to begin work on

remember he lives right next to
the Depot ... that is the store I am
going to work at - $40.00 per
month & my Board paid. That'is
the best Job I have had for some
time. He Is going to carry a
$10000.00
stock
of
Gen.
Mdse.... (8)
Even the stationery reflected a bit of boosting: R.
H. Hicks, Dealer in Drugs, Medicines, Toilet &
Fancy Articles Stationery, School Books, Etc.,
Mulberry, Ark.
The one surviving letter which does NOT promote
From Indian Territory came the following:
... people are preparing to sow
wheat this fall some thinks this
will be a great wheat country as
soon as It is broke up and matured
come out and take a look
at the country I sure you would
like it I think if you would come
here and Invest some money in
town property you would make
something out of it I am going to
invest as fast as I can we have
bought some now I received a
letter from Jim today I think he
done well in concluding to stay
there there is so dam many
machines here and some dam
fools who want to work for glory
we havent done much this week
made a well on our own property
is aiL ... (7)
an area was from an older man who knew Will Evatt
was suffering from the latter stages of consumption. But even it contains reverse or baCkhanded
boasting. His letter states:
... and as to Employment - there is
3 men here to one Job - and in
fact in the cities stout men are
actually working for their Board!
Farm hands get from $30.00 to
$30.00 per mo & board $30.00 to
$60.00 & Board their selves - but it
is a very rare thing that a farm
hand is wanted! My friend this is
good Country if a man has plenty
of money it is a rich mans country
&a poor man has no show - if a
man has to pay $4000.00 to
$10000.00 he can buy him an
improved farm 01 say 20 or 30
acres yes sir it takes $4000.00 to
$10000.00 to buy a well improved
farm of 20 or 30 acres & some
here are worth from $100.00-
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,Arkal1s<ls Family HistorJan - Page 167
$500.00 per acrel
Health here is
good [marked through but legible:
but no place for a consumptive]
Well as to clerks there are 25 to
where there is one wanted and
consequently the wages are very
low - My advice to all is to remain
where they are if they are doing
well - unless they are about to go
into business 01 some kind or buy
them a farm -to those I say come
- the climate is what brought me
here I knew before coming that in
all probabilny I would not do as
well here as back in Arkansas but I will if nothing happens go
into business at some point near
here soon. A man can get work in
the Gold & Silver Mines some 200
miles south of here - but he would
have to work hard - but the pay is
good & paid weekly or monthly but it is a very dangerous business. (9)
Will Evatt died 17 July 1889 before he had a chance
to visit or invest in any areas that had been touted
to him. He Is buried in Birdview Cemetery, Scott
County, Arkansas.
Boosterism was prevalent in the nineteenth
century, in the private sector as well as the public
forum. Seldom would a personal leller today contain what we have been taught is blatant bragging.
But in the last century, it was a fact of life and was
actually "the thing to do." It was proper to promote
your state, your town, your business, yourself.

John Pope, in one of my lines, of course, did not

Only The Names Remain, Vol. 3, Saline DISI. and
Cherokee Orphanage, by Sandi Garrett, P. O. Box
48, Spal/inaw, OK 74366, soft COl/er, $15.00 postpaid,

Cherokee Indian - genealogy easier. She has com·
bined information from the 1851 Drennen Cherokee
Roll that lists most Indians by Cherokee name only,

type Cherokee names, with lirst and last names. An
example of the information available is Drennen Roll
#Kar-Kar-Lor-Ha-Nar, who or whose descendent
appears on the Miller Roll as Polly David (M-GM-GF)

Cherokee District of Salin and the Cherokee Orphanage in Eastern Oklahoma. Contact Sandi for a list of

Our Family Tree: Nichols, by Kathleen Lipsmeyer
Nichols, 1213 SW 97th SI., Oklahoma City, OK 731392614, 220 pages, spiral bound, $30.00. This is the
second family history from the pen of Mrs. Nichols.
The first one was on the Lipsmeyer family, This well
printed and easy to read volume contains illustrations,
pictures, charts, maps and clippings. II traces back,
generation by generation, the ancestors of Gerald Lee
Nichols of Oklahoma to the family of Nathan Nichols,
Sr., b. 1748 in VA. The family also lived in Ohio. Other
families mentioned are Calhoun, Hale, Oakes, Petrey,
Lay and Hodgson. However, this well presented book
would be greatly improved by the inclusion of an
index, or at least a table of contents. [RPB]
Index to Obituaries and Death Notices Appearing
in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, January I,
1994 to June 30, 1994, by Oscar G. Russell, 506
Loop Rd., North Little Rock, AR 72120-2216, 189 pp"
spiral bound $21.00; hard bound, $34.00. Since the
demise of the Little Rock Arkansas Gazette in 1991
and the suspension of the Shannon J. Henderson
index to that paper about the same time, there has
been a real lack of sources for locating contemporary
obHuaries and death notices. Mr. Russell is filling this
gap. This is his latest volume. It contains an index to
all deaths reported on the obituary pages, plus Information gained from a "page by page search of the
entire daily edition", resulting in information on about
one-third more deaths than his last book. Good work,
Mr. Russell. Contact him for a full list of his indexes.

In Search 01 Your German Roots, 2nd Edition
(1994). 114 pages, soft cover, $11.95, and
In Search of Your European Roots, 2nd Edition
(1994). 292 pages, soft cover, $16.95, both by Argus
Baxter, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1001 N.
Calvert St" Baltimore,MD 21202-3897.
What a difference a few years makes! In the mid
1980s when Mr. Baxter wrote the first editions of these
two books, Europe was divided into two armed camps
and the Cold War was in full swing, Americans in
general and American genealogists in particular were
not welcome in most of Europe east of the Iron Cur.
tain. Some countries like Albania were impossible to
enter and the extent of their genealogical records
impossible to ascertain. German, the ancestral home
of many of our ancestors, itself was divided into an
eastern and a western part. While research in western
Europe was fairly easy and often immensely rewarding, research in the east was time consuming and
often non productive, even after permission to use
records was obtained. Today this part of the world is
an entirely different place. While there have been few
changes in the west, the east Soviet empire has
ceased to exist. East Germany is no longer a separate nation. Even the old cold war government subdivisions have been returned to their former boundaries.
Now genealogists are not only welcome throughout
Europe, but eagerly sought after as a source of hard
currency in the east. On the down side, where there
was just a few years ago a stable Yugoslavia, there is
now a number of new smaller ethnic countries still
fighting civil wars. Because of these changes, Mr.
Baxter has undertaken much needed revisions of
these standard research works. Each is well indeXed
and contains updated bibliographies and lists of

issued to individuals and families traveling or migrating into the Mississippi Valley area from the above
mentioned states. This volume provides the names of
over 5,000 people who either travelled through or
settled in the Spanish and Indian lands. The Notes,
References and Selected Bibliography add much to
the interest of this volume. (BJM)
