MESSAGE
FROM THE
PRESIDENT:
I am most happy to have been given the
opportunity to serve as President of The Arkansas Genealogical Society, for there is no subject
"more dear to my heart" than genealogy and the
history of our own beloved State. I sincerely
hope that all of you will join with me in attempting to enlarge and enrich our Society, its purpose
and publication.
I urge each of you with family records
packed away in boxes and filing cabinets to share
this information with others through The Arkansas Family Historian, for each year with the
passing of dedicated genealogists, countless
priceless documents are thrown away and discarded by survivors who have no interest in, or
do not realize, their value and the painstaking
hours consumed in gathering such material.
Record this data for posterity in your Arkansas
Family Historian.
And speaking of our publication, which is the lifeblood of our organization--our means
of communicating with one another--I would like to pay special tribute to our editor, Mrs.
Dolores Murphy, who gives us so much of her time. I wonder how many of our members
realize that Dolores is solely responsible for the actual mechanics of publishing our quarterly? She not only undertakes this tremendous job, but attempts to answer all correspondence addressed to the editor and still has time for her home, her charming husband Guy and
five children, four of whom are pre-school age! We are very proud of the high quality of our
quarterly, and realize that we are indeed fortunate to have an editor who is willing to devote
so much of her time and energy at, I am sure, personal sacrifice.
Thanks, too, to Mrs. J. R. Bush of Hot Springs, who carefully indexed Volume m, and
to Mrs. Duncan Brown, Jr. of Little Rock for typing this valuablepostscriptto our publication
for the past year. Postscript really isn't the right word, for I personally believe than an Index is an integral part of any publication, and these ladies have done an excellent job. I only
hope they will volunteer to perform this task for Volume IV.
Special thanks are also due our retiring "pun-loving" preSident, Lee B. Spencer, and
the members of his Board of Directors. No, that's not a typographical error; one of Lee's
puns I particularly remember is his definition of the successful western bill collector: "The
fastest dun of the west!" Lee formulated the first draft of our Constitution and By- Laws, a
badly needed instrument for our Society.
This administration needs the cooperation of every member; we want your suggestions.
Won't you please continue to offer new ideas and new material for printing and last, but not
least, keep up your membership. We NEED you and you NEED us; who knows--this very
issue may contain just the clue you need to complete that .branch of your family tree!

"McGOWENS"
by
Lillian Stevenson McGowen
Joseph D. McGowen was born in Duplin Co., North Carolina, May 3, 1824. Our Bible
records show he migrated to Arkansas in 1844, was married twice, both wives named ElIzabeth. I have not found his parents yet, but my search isn't over. The census shows an older
Elizabeth living in the household, who must be his mother.
Joseph D. settled south of
Champagnolle and east of El Dorado in Union Co., Arkansas.
The 1850 census of Union Co., Ark. shows Joseph McGowen, 25, b. N. C.; Elizabeth, 18,
b. Ala.; John W., 1, b. Ark. ; Elizabeth, 58, b. No. C.; and James King, 14, b. Ga.
The 1870 census of Union Co. lists Joseph D., age 40 (?), h. N. C.; children John W., 21:
Sarah, 18; Mary L., 16; Robert, 7; Martha, 5; Joseph, 2; Charles, 4 mo., all born in Ark.:
and Elizabeth, 80, b. N. C. No wife is shown, as his second wife died April 13, 1870.
Joseph D. McGowen died Oct. 18, 1878, and is buried at Old Ebenezer Cemetery south of
Champagnolle in Union Co. The 'El Dorado Eagle' in the October 1878 issue gave the following account of his death:
"The story of a sad accident on Wednesday last. A shocking accident on Mr. Tom Smith's
place, five miles from El Dorado on t.he Moro road. A party of workmen were engaged in
raising a press and had succeeded in lifting the heavy timbers to a considerable height, when
the arrow broke, precipitating the same to the ground with a fearful crash, killing J.n.
McGowen (others were hurt and gave their names).
"A few words taken from his funeral notice spoke well of him. He died as he had lived,
a consistent member of Met.hodist Episcopal Church South. We believe from his walk and
conversation that. his soul is today basking in the Sunlight of Paradise. He was an affectionate father, but is now gone to climes above. "
Also I found a "Funeral Notice ": "The Mason brethern of Neighboring Lodge of Champagnolle No. 68 met to assist in paying their last tribute to the memory of brother Joseph D.
McGowen. Friends and acquaintances were respectfully invited to attend the service."
The 1880 census shows the McGowen children living in different households. Robert L.,
the fourth child, left as a young man to live with a family.who were able to help him finish
his education, and we have not found him. In the "El Dorado Eagle" of June 30, 1881, it was
stated that Robert was on the Honor Roll of The Independent High School and was one of the
most energetic and worthy pupils in their well-·disciplined and popular institution. From let.ters to his sister, "Aunt Missie" McGowen, we know he was in Texas in 1884 with John W.
McGowen.
Joseph D. McGowen was married Aug. 31, 1848 to Elizabeth McWilliams, age 15, We do
not know the names of her parents, nor the date of birth or death. She is buried at Old Ebenezer Cemetery in Union Co. Children of Joseph D. McGowen and Elizabeth McWilliams:

MARTIN CHRISTOPHER RANDLEMAN
by
Billee Snead Webb
Martin Christopher Randleman, b. Dec. 25, 1761, in No. Carolina, was the last child of
German immigrant parents who had come to America in1754. He served in the Revolutionary
War in the Rowan County militia. After the war he settled near the Ohio River in western
Kentucky, then moved again into St. Clair Co., Indiana Territory (became Illinois in 1818).
In 1832 he applied for and received his Revolutionary War Pension at Belleville, IllinoiS.
Then taking his old wife ''who was in need of the care and comfort of her daughter", he
went to the home of his son-in-law, David Reece, in the backwoods of Washington Co., Ark.
The 1840 Census of Pensioners shows him near Fayetteville, Ark., aged 79 years. Recent
research there shows that he was probably buried on Reece's property about a mile and a half
from Farmington. The graves have been lost but are remembered by persons who have lived
on the property. Martin Christopher Randleman died in 1841; his wife, Mary Magdalena Furr,
died in 1839, also in Washington Co., Ark.
Some of the descendants of Martin Christopher Randleman who lived in Arkansas are:
Samuel Rendleman, son of Jacob Rendleman, b. Feb. 29, 1824, twin to Martin, came to Arkansas from Illinois by horseback in 1869 with his son Willis and homesteaded land northeast
of Rector in Clay County. He was married to Katherine Kimmel, and their children were:
Willis Scott, b. Jan. 21, 1850, Anna, Ill.; Lizzie, m. Henry Killey; Jane, m. --- Vancil:
Belle, m. AlfredDavis; Anne, m. _._- Featherston; Ott, m. Nellie Jewell; Walter, m. Cora
Franklin; Sam; Dave; and Frank.
Willis Scott Rendleman, son of Samuel Rendleman, b. Jan. 21, 1850, Anna, Ill.; d. Mar.
30, 1930, Rector, Ark. Married 2nd Dec. 24, 1888, to Martha Elizabeth Wagster, b. Jan. 22.
1864, Dyersburg, Tenn.; d. Mar. 13,1946, Rector, daughter of Wm. Culpepper Wagster and
Jane Shaw. Their children, all born at Rector, Ark., were: Willis Rudy, b. July 21, 1891,
m. Ida Whitaker; Calva Cleo, b. Nov. 12, 1892, m. N. A. Whitaker; Mabel, b. Mar. 24, 1896,
m. Elijah Jordan; Henry Fay, b. Oct. 12, 1897; Everett, b. Apr. 18, 1899, m. Oct. 28, 1922
