DEAR MEMBERS AND READERS OF OUR ARKANSAS FAMILY HISTORIAN: (FROM YOUR EDITOR)
Time for the June Quarterly to go to press!!! Time sure flies by!t! No time for
anything, except •• ~se~d information letters to those inquiring about our SocietYt and where
they might purchssE ••• most anythlng ••• already 1n print about GENEALOGY •• ~and many other
questions (and not enough time to mention all that).
REMEMBER in ~he DECEMBER 1981 iesue the notice to pay your memberah'ip before JanuaryIl
THAT IS FOR A GOOD MANY REASONS ••• First of all, how can anyone guess how many members we
may have in 19S"2? The newspapers, TV etc all tell us how many people are out of work, and
with paper, and other. supplies so high and ·continuing to go higher, the smart thing to do
is to watch our expenses snd not prin~ so many extra anything as there is no storage space!
'!'here are no DEPARTMEN,TS_ a't 4200 H A" Street .. ~ the corners. have 10rt$,4go been taken, even the
middle of the floor is only a path {Afid if you make it from one room to an'other, anyone is
luckyl}~ And then al~st eve~'day~ a pink sl~p (from the Decemher Quarterly 1981) arrives
with "THOUGHT I SENT MY MEMBERSHIP FOR 1982, but discovered I had ndt. Sorry ,I was late~
could you go on & send my &rch 1982 issue'll! The date is now May 19. 198,2! f I Well. 1200
were printed and 1200 are gone, and the year is still 1 months yeti But now it is time to
print the June 'issue,' make last mi1;lute plates for them to be addreased, JlOt to mention the
ones that "need to be changed {some more moved!!!} 'noes seem to your EDITOi. if you only
have one check'to write. in order to receive your 4 issues for the year, you could be on
t:ime,t and try to eliminate some of the prO'blems. There has been NO TIME to send reminders
and besides that costs un-necessary money and time, your EDITOR surely does not have!
Many of the ANCESTOR CHART VOLUMES as well as the FAMILY GROUP SHEET VOLUMES have been
sent (and we have run ou.t of some of those, so if you order and dO' not .receive all. •• try to
be patient. and if things ever slow a little, w~ will try to reprint)'.
Famiiy histories are encouraged. We will not print. you entire family records in our
ARKANSAS .FAMILY HISTORIAN, but the beat way you can rece.ive additionaJ .uifO'nn.a.tion, is to
compile'up to (for instance'lO or so pages) of your information~ ~ to stay with one
family and mention other allied famili~s~ Type it as you would like to see it in print,
with a. good clear type on reg~lar size paper (or 14 inch paper if you like) so it might
'be photo-copied (and not retyped. At the end you mi'ght mention the part you would like to'
locate more information about. Good documenteq (where you received your information. page
and book number, the source, whether from a personal interview, newspaper, tombstone inscription, bible record, etc~) is very good.
BIBLE RECORDS and CEMETERY RECORDS are being received very nicely •. ~and many of the
County Extension Homemaker Council Chapters are working very hard to. get their cemetery
r'ecords indexed and ready to' publish. If you are interested in any of these county records
do not wait even a few days to order (after 'you find they have been published). HOBt are
not publishing over 200 (some not that m4nY) to much money is involved, and they just know
they will never sell over 10~ We will mention ,a few counties that have already published:

Close neighbors and friends of 3 Brisco families in Arkansas
John High was born in Germany in 1771 and C~ to America at age 19. He first went to
Mound Township Warren County. Indiana and in 1838 came to Rogers ARK as a blacksmith.
His family was large and consiated of 8 boys and 4 girls. He built a grist mill on
Prairie Creek close to White River and Lorenzo Dow High, one of the oldest sons moved to
5 miles 'north of Berryv.ille before the Civil War and started a small store, the place
was named High, Ark.
Before Dow High came to Carroll County. Ark~. he married to a 4th cousin Elizabeth
Crabaugh. Some of the Crabaughs (also originally from Germany) star-ed the settlement
of War Eagle 8 miles east of logers, Arkansas and later came to Carroll County. During
the Gold Rush in California. Dow and his brother bought a large herd of over 500 cattle
to drive to California. Spencer BlalOCK, Isaac Standlee~ John Rates. Tom Yeary. George
Cardenah1re, Frank Layman and J. M. Hanby were some of the men who went with them. They
sold the cattle after the long drive and were paid in 20 dollar gold pieces.
The men rode a boat back to New Orleans snd same then went up to St. Louis. MO, bought
2 horses and carried the gold back to High. Arkansas~ Some of the men stayed in Cali~
ornia and struck i~ rich, and a few came back to Arkansas with their gold.
Dow buried his gold in a secret place and when the guerillas and bush whackers got bad
in the Civil War he sent his family to Missouri, near Springfield. Bushwhackers had
hear4 about the buried gold and some of them shot Dow High and he died on the spot.
After his wife came back from Missouri, they sought her out and blistered her legs
badly with" firebrands trying to get the secret of buried gold from her. Family traditiun
has it that the gold was never dug up! Elizabeth the daughter married Edgar Cole later.
their daughter Polly married another Cole.
The Crabaughs grew up with the Brisco families. Later when Glen's parents moved to
California they were to move near the Martin Briscoe family in the Chino?-Pamona area!
Leonard Brisco now of Berryville lived in this area for aWhile as a child but the family
moved 'back to Arkansas.

SFC & Mrs Alan M. Houston. 268th SiS Co., 72nd Sig BN., APO NY 09164 - I have
run into a problem (nave written to several offices in Arkansas &: I keQP
getting negative responses, as they say they have no records propr to 1914!)
My problem is with my grandfather, Henry Earnest KENNELLEY. According to his death certificate~ he was born 6 June 1876, AR.
The family kept records say, his birth place ~as No.
Little Rock, PulaSki Co., AR. But the family records were based on hearsay. If it would
be of any help ..• his parents were, Henry Geist KENNELLEY & Theodocia Ellen FARMER. His
mother's name may be listed aa Dacia (or Dasha). Also on their marriage record the
KENNELLEY was spelled KENNERLEY. I will appreciate any suggestion as to where I might
locate or receive any help.

--- This book is all that's left me now,
Tears will unbidden start-With faltering and throbbing brow
I press it to my heart.
For some generations past
There is my family tree:
My mother's hands this Bible clasped
She, dying, gave it me.
Thou truest friend man ever knew
Thy constancy lIve tried;
Where all were false I found thee true,
My counsellor and guide
The mines of earth no treasure give
That could this colume buy;
In teaching me the way to live,
It taught me how to die.

HOME GUARD OF MINUTE MEN
OF
POPE CouNTY,
ARKANSAS
1861
Edited by James Logan Morgan
After Arkansas seceded from the Union, the secession convention continued to meet to provide a sound legal structure
for the state. An ordinance passed by the convention on May
30. 1861. authorized the county courts in each county to
apPOint "a home guard of minute men" for terms of service of
three months. with at least ten men ,in service in each township.
The duties of the home guards were "to see that: all slaves are
disarmed. to prevent: the assemblage of slaves in unus,ual numbers.to keep t:he slave populat:ion in ~roper subjection. and to
see that peace and order are observed.
On July 28. 1861. the county court of Pope County.
Arkansas. appointed companies of "Home Guards or Minute Men"
to serve for three months in each of the townships. The members of each company were ordered to meet in the regular
polling place of their township on August 3. 1861. to organize
and elect officers. Reports on the elections were made at a
special meeting of the county court on August 5. 1861.

'['hese few inscriptions Were found on stones in an old abandoned cemetery near
Lewisville, county seat of w'ayette County. The area. is ra.pidly reverting to ..he natural
state and within a few years, unless some precautions are taken, it will be completely lost.
The timber has been cut. at least once, by the money-grubbers, and timber brush, briars,
vines. and saplings obscure the site unless a knowledgeable person points the way. At One
tiJQe it was fenced with wire, but the fence is down and rusting away. One grave is fenced
but fence a.nd gravestone are cov~red with vines and buehes~
"
The site is found by taking Highway 29 North from Lewisville Courthouse, traveling
about 3/4 mile and turning right onto the Sanita.ry La.ndfi11 sign. The ce"etery is on len
hand side of road just before reaching landfill. Re.idents in axea will be glad to point

Mrs. Mario B. cia, Sr.

Little Rock, Arkansas
72205
Dear Mrs. Cia.
I am the feliow who called you when I was in Little Rock on April 6
wishing to placo a query in the next issue of the publication of the
ARAANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY. It concerne one NAOMI NE:WTON and
LARKIN NE:WTON who appear in the 18)0 census for Washington Co., Ark.
Larkin Newton was the brother of my great great grandfather, JOM
Newton. I believe that Naomi Newton was the mother of John and Larkin
Newton, both of whom were born in South Carolina. I cannot prove that
Naomi is this mother. but a great deal of circumstantial evidence
says that this relationship is so. Hence, I seek additional information
in the interest of this case.
The essential information is as follows,
1. The above JOHN NEWTON was born in 1790 in S.C.I his brother. LARKIN.
was born in 1794 in S.C. There waa a third brother. BASIL, who some
say was born in Tennessee about 1800, but I believe was born about
1798 in S.C ••
2. JOHN NEWTON married Jane Blair in 181) in Rutherford Co., Tn. One
son, Elbert C., was bor~ in 1814 in Tn •• Four other children.
Telitha, Betsy, Charles & ABa Richardson - Were born in Arkansas.
Asa Richardson Newton is my great grandfather, he was born in 1822
in Pulaski Co., Ark.
). JOHN AND JANE NEWTON moved ·from Tn. to Arllansas in 1815. Thls move
was in the company of JANE ( BLAIR) NEWTON's parents, THOMAS and
SARAH (CARNAHAN) BLAIR. The move was ....de by river boat and is
recorded in a letter written by son BLBERT C. NE'l'WON in 1884 while
visiting in Dover, Arkansas, from his memoirs. This chronicle was
used by Myra Mc Almont Vaughn in an unpubliShed history, a copy of
which can be found in tho files of the ARKANSAS GAZETTE, Margaret
Ross, historian. An abstract of this record is attached for you.
4. JOHN AND JANE (BLAIR) NEWTON both died within days of one another
late in 1822, probably ot some epidemic, leaving a will (copy
attached) and four Sllll\l1 orphans. One son, Charles, had died as
an infant before 1822. JOHN NEWTON's brothers, LARKIN and BASIL,
were to take cars of these children.
S. LARKIN NEWTON and the chlldrsn of JOHN and JANE NE:I'ITQN moved first
to Crawford Co.. then to Washington Co •• Here he IIII\rried ~IARY ANN
WILSON, daughter of JOHN WILSON in 1829. LARKIN NEWTON was
first county clerk or Washington Co. and first postllll\ster or
Payetteville, he also held other offices and ran a grist mill.
H was here in 1830 that NAOMI (sP. "NAOMA") NEWTON joins LARKIN
NEWTON on the census list, apparently living next door. In the
household of Larkin Newton the oldest child, Elbert C., of deceased
brother JOHN, lives. The three other orphan children. Telitha.
Betsy and Ass R. are in the household of NAOMI NE:WTON.
6 •. JOHN NEWTON's other brother, BASIL, remained in CraWford Co.,
married a sister of one JAMES EDMONDSON I raised a family of four
children I and apparently died there about 1845.
7. LARKIN NEWTON. NAOMI NEWTON and the childtten of JOHN and JANE
(Blair) NEWTON, as well as THOMAS and SARAl! (CARNAHAN) BLAIR all
moved up ihto Newton Co., Mo. in 1833 or 1834. So, they were not
in Washington Co •• Ark. very long. Newton Co., Mo. is named for
one Sgt. JOHN NEWTON, a Revolutionary.War soldier who fought in
the Battle of Charleston. S.C. in 1780 II.nd maybe also in 1776.
LARKIN NEWTON became a county j~4ge og Newton Co •• Mo. in 18)9.
NAOMI NEWTON died some time after 1840 in Newton Co., Mo •• and
berore 1847 when my NEWTONS moved once again, this time to Ellis
CO ..
t
Texas.
-116-
8. Back in South Carolina in Newberry Co. and lidgefield Go. chere
lived this Sgt. John Newton from about 1772 until his death
in 1799. He was married twice, (1) to MARY MITC~~ and (2) to
NAOMI
1111
(maybe also Mitchell). He marrled his second
wife about 1789. When he died in 1799 ,his second wife. Nl!0MI.
WaS the administrix of his estatel he died without any wlll.
Wife NAOMI NEWTON settles the estate by 1801 and then seems to
disappear from records in S.C. No record is found of her in
Tennessee although there are records of the service in the War
of 1812 f~r both JOHN NEWTON (d. 1822 in Ark.) and LARKIN NEWTON
(d lA58 in Texas). Then there is the move in 1815 from Tennessee
to'ArkanSas, but in the account there is no mention of NAOMI
tlliWTON,
i th the above background i t is my belief that NAOMI NE'~TON, :l"cvnd
wife of Sgt. JOHN NEWTON of S.C., is the same as the NAOMI reNTON
who appears ih the 18)0 census of Washington ,Co. , Ark •• Hence, ahe
would be the mother of my gre'l t graa t grandf'a,ther. JOHN NE'''TON who
died in 1822 in Pulaski Co., Ark •• NAOMI (711) NEWTON of s.C,. was
born about 1755, NAOMI NEWTON of Washington Co •• Ark. in 18)0 was
between 70 and 80 years old. Hence. on the basis of age these two
could be one and the same.
'il
Now as to a query. I want to know a,,¥ information about my Newtons
that may exiet in Arkansas sources.
.
NANTJ:.D, Information about NAOMI NEWTON or LAHKIN NEv/TON who were
in Washington. Co., Ark. in lR)O. Larkin Newton was brothet'
of JOHN NEWTON who died in Pulaski Co •• Ark. in 1822. John
,Newton and Larkin Newton Were bOrn in ~outh Ue,ollna about
1790 - 1794.
Nead proof that NAOMI NEWTON above is related to ~RKIN and
JOHN NEWTON. Further background in Arkansas. Tennessee or
South Carolina is sought.
These Newtons are not to be confUsed wIth Thomas "llloughby
Newton of Arkansas ar~ Vlrginia of the same period.

'!'he following arc excerpts taken from "Cenea1ogy pf the Lcw1 s }'-amil y
1n AmcricCl" by William Terrell Lewis copywrite 1892. This book
cput;lim, many hundreds of Lewis' but i am only including those
that are it direct line to my family. I \Jag fortunate to obtain a
copy of this book and thought perhaps i t might help others working
on th:l,s line.
Ther~
is a tradition in the Le.,.;ia family that the name originated
1n France, and that i t was orginally spelled IlLouia" meaning strong
or brave. After ,the family settled in
it was changed to '''LewisH •
W~le8t

About the middle of the seventeenth centruy four brothers of the
family left Wales. viz.:

General Robert died in Gloucester ,county, VA; and

JOHN LEWIS OF HANOVER COUNTY! VA.
AI. John Lewis, Sr., one of the original b~others that emigrated from
Wales to America was born about 1640. He resided awhile with the
MOstyn family in Denbyshire previous to his emigration to America. It
is not known whom he married. He died in Hanover county, VA •• in 1726.
The records on Hanover county, Va., werewar by the Federal army.

His will mentions the names of six of his children, they are:

Sarah, born about 1681
Mrs. Angelica Ful1elove, born about 1683
Oavid~ born about 1685 and
John, Jr., born about 1687.
The author did not attempt to trace any of the children of John Lewis.
Sr. except those of David his fifth child from whom this branch of the
family is lineally descended. ~here is some information on John, Jr,
and also General Robert in the book.
David Lewis, .Sr.) fifth child of John Lewis. Sr_. was born in
aboot the year 1685. About the year 1717, he ruarried
Idf> first wife., Miss
Terr~ll. daughter~ it is said of Joel
']'(n'fcl1, by whnm he r~eight children; she dying in 17).4. he mar~Ied his second wife t by whom he haa no issue and her name is not known.

U:lIlover~ \'a.~
(Some irlformation on the Terrell Family available)
About the! year 1750 David moved from Hanover county and settled in
Albemarie county, Va. Albemarie was then a new county having heL'n
curveu nut of C.oochland in 1744,' In 1753 after he moved to Albemarie
county hi' married his third wife~ the widow of Dr. Hart of Philadelphia~
Pa .• whm.t.! maiden name was Mary McCarth. by whom ,he raised tbree
children. After the death of this third wife he was engaged to be
;!1arrlcd the fourth tithe but died very suddenly before the consummation
l,f the nuptials.
-129-
After David Lewis, Sr., moved and settled near where Charlottesville
now stands, 1n Albemaria county he waS offered five hundred acres of
the best quality of land 1n Virginia. lying some forty or fifty miles
west of the then settlements, for. a pair of buckskins which he could
have killed almost any day and dressed the nexts' but he thought at
that time 'the back county would not be settled in an 8$e arid that
the land would be of no value to him.,
In his old age he sometimes taught school gratuitously for the benefit
of the poor. He never inflicted corporal punishment upon his pupils
but if any of them violated his rules during the week he would on
Friday evening tie a bundle of lods to their ba'cks and send them home~
He was Ii very ~ll man with ilght hair and blue eyes of strict
integrity, benevolent characfe:r; and an exemplary member of the
Presbyterian church.
David Lewis, Sr., died in A1b~rie county. Va., in 1779 from flux,
brought on b~ over-exertion and drinking too much cold water on a hot
summer day in August after cutting down a tree in which there waB a
hawk's nest.
His will was probated at the September term of the Albemarie county
court in 1779. Stephen WilliS, Anna Willis, MOrning Clarkson, Robert
Lewis, and Wm. Jo~nson were SUbscribing witnesses to said will; and
Joel Lewis, John }Ita'rtin', James Lewis, and Taliaferro Lewis were his
executors. He gave a certain'amount of property of James Lewis t
Elizabeth Martin, M1riam Lewis. Hannah Hickman, Susannah Mackey, Sarah
Musick. and Anna WilliS, to make them equal with his other children.
The balance of his property he divided equally between his eleven
chi1dren~ (He had earlier given property to SO~ of his BOns).
In 1750 a deed of gift from David Lewis, 5r~t to WilliaM Terrell Lewis,
David Lewis, Jr. t John Lewis. and Joel Lewis of lands lying on the
branches of }bore's creek was recorde.d.

EDITOR' 5 NOTE: The following paper was found in the Augsburg (Pope County,
Arkansas) area, and a copy was made and given at the BAUMANN FAMILY REUNION
in 1981. One of the descendants, was lucky enough to obtain a copy, and she
took it back to her home in Washington, Missouri and someone there helped to
translate it from German to English and is now sharing it with the readers of
our ARKANSAS FAMILY HISTORIAN! Thanks Bernice Mittler, this makes all this much
more interesting now!

that each sharer is aided according to pr6m1ums on insured buildings etc, as calculated by
the officers.
3. No one can be legally accused or' sued on account of lion-payment of his con'tribution;
however J everyone ends his connection with the company through refusal of payment and all
benefits of the company and will not thereafter be taken 1n as a member~
4,. The company's sphere of sctivity will be separated into several districts. as No.1.
No.2 'etc., each of which elects a responsible foreman, who in his district has to take care
of valuations. keep the district record book. make notifications. collect moneys and otherwise care for company related business~
5. The area of the compnay's act'ivity shall be in Johnson and Pope counties in Arkansas
6; The company has obligated itself to pay three-fourths of the appraised worth of the
property in case of a fire, and to do it 30 days after the president gains knowledge of the
fire. The president is' to compute the assessment with the secretary and communicate it to
the foreman of each district, who then. in what is to him the best possible way. make it
known to the members in his'district.
7. The foreman o'f each district haSt as responsible official. 20 days after the report
of the secretary to collect the money due in his district, and, in case the fire happened in
his district, deliver the money collected to the one struck by fire. as instructed by the
president, and get a receipt. The other district foremen are to hand in the premiums to the
secretary. who then. upon instruction by the president, is to deliver them to the fire
affected one or the respective foreman.
8. Everyone, who wishes to become a member. has to go to the foreman living near to
him. The obligations sre, all subsequent appraisement inside of ten days, after that is
known to eXecute the matter.
However. should circumstances cause it not to be done, it
should be reported to the president", who then is to empower another member to take care of
the appraisement.
9. The company insures provisionally only buildings for the duration of five years,
moreover single buildings may not be appraised and insured for more than $'500.00. Members
are to take all possible precaution to prevent danger of fire •. Stove..:pipes must go into
chimneys. Smoking in and outside the buildings (dwelling excepted), as well as at strawstacks and the like, is forebidden. also the frivolous carrying ,of matches 1n the pocket or
the ~ge of defective lanterns~ Every member is obliged to warn the others, also to report
to his foreman that a member waa'warned, or in the case of disregard of this warning to
point it out sometime to an officer. The officer, in this case is to impose a fine of $5~OO
on the member.
lO~ Every five years a main or general appraissl takes place, which a district foreman
will execute in his area. The appraisers have to raise 25 cents from every hundred dollars
Worth of insured property, plus $1.00 entrance fee, and to immediately give to the proprietor his policy, on which names number, district and worth of the insured property are given
in detail.
In the general appraisal every foreman has to nam.e a specialist in his disi"riCt, who ia
also a member of the company. Both of these have to execute the appraisal.
11. Every general appraisal policy drawn up begins with the following January I at noon
and ceases five years later at the same time; just as every supplementa1 policy runs out at
the above assigned time.
.
No policy has validity until it is paid.
12. The members are obligated to appear at the annual ,meeting. which takes place on the
first Monday of August of every year. beginning about 2o'oclock in the afternoon~ Failing
this they have to pay 50 cents fine to their district foreman within 30 days. Should
respective members not comply, then they have to pay a dollar at the next annual meeting, a,
and whoever refuses to pay his dollar, without satisfactory excuse, disqualifies himself.
Women and minors are excepted.
13. No one can be at the same time insured by our company and other good companies,
with the knowledge and will of the officers~ and the sale or inher:!tanc~ of insured property
breaks off every connection with our company from the day the transferring papers are drawn
up. Minor heirs are excepted; the trustee or guardian has in this case all dues to the
society to pay. Furthermore, minor heirs, whose property is insured, remain insured until
a trustee or guardian is appointed. Should the named trustee or guardian neglect or refuse
to pay all duea to the company, then the connection between the member and the ~ompany
breaks off at the same time.
