Arkansas Family Historian
President's Page
First, let me say "Thanks," to Joe Goss, who
preceded me in this office. Joe is a busy man
who has the good of family history and this
group at heart. My thanks to each of you who
voted for me to serve you again. It is a privilege
to serve with such an association.
When I sat down to write this page, I looked
back to the first one I ever wrote, when I was
elected President in 1987. If! repeat myself, it
is altogether intentional.
Serving as President of this organization is a
series of thrills because there are such splendid
helpers available. Like most service
organizations, we could use more volunteers.
There are numerous projects which could be
undertaken, and which would benefit us all, if
someone would give time to them. If you can
give some time, let it be known.
During 1886, the Sesquicentennial Year of
Arkansas, we encouraged someone in every
county to make a substitute for the eternally
lost 1890 U. S. Census in their county. This is
best done in Arkansas from the Personal
Property Tax Receipts of the county, because
every head of household had to pay a property
tax, wi thout regard to whether he owned real
estate. There were those who were neither
heads of families nor required to assesses taxes,
but who still paid a Poll Tax in order to be
allowed to vote. Some names were added
by this law. The Poll Tax is recorded in the
same book in almost every county.
The response was very good, though not
perfect. Is it ever perfect? Now, II years later,
we would like to complete this project. Will
YOU please consider being responsible for
seeing that such a substitute census is
2 Volume 35, Number I, March, 1997
completed and published for YOUR county, or
another. If you are willing but believe you just
don't know how, please contact Wensil Clark,
12I I Biscayne Drive, Little Rock, AR 722275973 (501-225-2452). Wensil wrote the book
for White County, Arkansas, and can give you
expert guidance. If you have completed the
information, but don't know how best to go
about publishing it, contact the Editor,
Arkansas Genealogical Society. P. O. Box 908,
Hot Springs, AR 71902-0908 (501-262-4513).
She will advise you. The Board of Directors
may offer to publish the work with your name
as compiler. This is part of your responsibility-to make original records available. If you need
a list of which counties have not been
published, write me and request it.
Your suggestions are most welcome at any
time. Make them to the President when
appropriate, or to the Editor if she is more
directly concerned. Our addresses and
fax/phone numbers are inside the front cover.
Sincerely,
Ed Sanders,
President

Slave Owners in Randolph County,Arkansas
This information was taken from the original personal tax records for the county by Margaret A. "Peg"
A. Barnhart. Peg is the "Peg" of Pegasearch and docs genealogical research in Randolph and the
surrounding counties (Sharp, Lawrence, Greene and Clay in Arkansas; Oregon and Ripley in Missouri).
She has an extensive library of county, school and funeral home records, as well as obituaries and
cemetery listings. Her address is 6020 Blackwell Den Road, Warm Springs, AR 72478·90084.
Some of the slave owners brought their slaves with them when they came to Randolph County. There
was little on which to spend money in the early days and slaves were an investment. The determining
factors for the slaves worth depended on sex, age, and physical condition. A healthy male, betv.-een 20
and 40 years of age, brought the highest prices.

Martha Childress Moore
Mother of20 Remembers Days of Hardship During Civil War
Submitted by Ruth Natale,
900 University Ave" San Jose, CA 95126
An unusual woman has been visiting Arnett recently,
One who raised 20 children, 12 of them her own, who
saw her futher and brother being taken away to be shot,
was driven to town by bushwhackers", washed clothes
with a "battling stick," spun her family'S clothing, and
who could butcher a two-year-old heifer almost single
handed, or drive an Ox team in the field
She is Mrs, Martha Moore of Fort Smith. Ark" the
great aunt of 1 S, Childers, 140 East First Avenue, at
whose home she is making a visit
Despite her 90 years, she sees fairly well and declared
she doesn't mind making auto trips. When the
suggestion was made to go back to Fort Smith by
airplane, she replied, "You'll not send me in an
airplane. You'll have to tie me in one if you do,"
Mrs, Moore was born on October, 1849, near
Springfield, Mo., and moved several times 'with he
fami Iy, settling with them finall y near Dardanelle along
the banks of the Big Piney River in Arkansas, They
lived there during there during the last two years of the
Civil War.
The feminine pioneer recalls vividlv many of the names
and incidents in her life as a girl d~ring the War. Thrcc
of her brothers fought, one of them with the Union
Army and the other two with the Confederates. She
remembers the occupation of Dardanelle by ShelbY's
army and related seeing General Priee in a carriage
while his Confederate army was there for a three-day
sojourn burning the pontoon bridges across the Big
Piney.
Family hardships continued throughoutthe War, At the
beginning, "bushwhackers", raving raiders and bandits
made lire so precarious that clothing and foed were
'
hidden in the walls and taken out only when the need
arose,. Finally the family was driven to town. During
thelf hfe there, the men fought and the women raised
what vegetables they could in vacant lots, Occasionally
they butchered a pig cached in the woods,
16 Volume 35. Number L Marcil. ! 997
Near the end of the War, the Confederates came
along and took her father and brother and shot
them because they were believed to haYe been
Northern sjmpathizers, Members of the familv
were not allowed to go out and look for their bodies, From that time onward and after the
Civil War was over, the work of farming, house
keeping and manufacturing household supplics
fell largely to the women in the fumily, Mrs,
Moore said she and her mother "made crops"
with their 0"'11 oxen and she had to work like a
man to gather firewoed with the lean1.
She married Jim Garner and bore six children
AT his death, she married again, this time to T
F, Moore. Six children were born to the couple
and Mrs, Moore said "Besides raising two sets
of my own, I raised five of one of mv
daughter's and one of another daughter's.
At Mr, Gamer's death, she became manager of
the farm, the family provider as well as the
cradle rocker. Sugar was made from sap
drained from maple trees and boiled down to a
solid form. Salt came at a premium and many
families of Mrs Moore's acquaintances
~
scooped up the dirt frolll the smoke house floors
and drained water through it. The resultant
liquid was a salty brine that worked as good as
sail. Though Mrs, Moore never attended public
school, she saw hatall her chi Idren and the
grandchildren she raised were trotted off to
learn their rcadin', writin' and' rithmctic
classes, She remembers as a girl that her
mother cooked over a fireplace and each family
ground the wheat they grew into flour Clothi;g
was homespun and hog meat and bccf were
smoked as a means of preservation. Once she,
with the help of a Mrs. Fry, tied a heifer to a
tree, killed it and carried the meat to the house,
When asked if she had any great grandchildren,
Mrs, Moore retorted, "Oh, Lord, I reckon I
have, half the state of Arkansas," She claims
13 grcat great grandchildren Mrs. Moore saw
her first auto in 1904 in Arkansas. She now
lives with one of her sons in Fort Smith and
roudly asserts that the house is equipped with
Panina's date and place of death are unknovm.
a gas stove, washing machine, refrigerator, and
modem conveniences. "\ think they're all
right", she said about the new contrivances. "If
I had my life to live over again the way I lived
it," she concluded, "I couldn't do it."
[This Childers family was listed in the 1860
Pope County census. Mrs Moore's letter was
written in 1939)

Brother Against Brother
From undated, unnamed newspaper clipping
sent by Lois Goodell, PO Box 225, Gillett, AR
72055
Even before the Confederates fired on Fort
Sumter April 12, 1861, Caleb Brinton had left
his famly and the quiet tovm of Vermont to
work as a brick maker in Little Rock,Ark.
When the Civil War began, he joined the 3rd
Arkansas Infantry, Confederate Army.
In a gap in Missionary Ridge, in northwest
Georgia, there is a valley kno",n as
McLemore'sCove and Chickamauga Creek On
Sept 19 and 20, 1863, Caleb took part in the
battle there. During the battle, he was hit by
artillery fire and as a result, los his left arm.
Caleb's brother, Ed who had stayed near
Vermont, went to Lewistown and then to Peoria
and enlisted in the I 03rd Illinois Infantry when
the war broke out.
When Ed contracted pink eye, he was
detached from the 103rd and put in the hospital.
When he was well enough to return to active
duty, he was transferred to an artillery unit.
Military records show that Ed's artillery unit
was in the batttle at Chickamauga.
Did Ed fire the artillery shot that took his
brother Caleb's arm? Some family members
think so.
One thing is for certain-the brothers faced
each other across the battlefield. Whether each
knew the other was there is another matter.
The classic brother against brother.
After the war, both brothers came back to the
Vermont area and worked. They are both
buried in the Vermont Cemetery--but in
different parts of the cemetery.

Palmer's Chapel Cemetery
Rock Creek Community, south of Glenwood (Pike Co., AR)
This cemetery is in two parts and is located on private land. Most of the headstones have been lost in
the eastern part over the past years. The western part with the remaining headstones is in heavy woods.
The cemetery's last recorded burial was in 1928. There are many more graves that are not marked.
The cemetery takes its name from long gone Palmer's Chapel Methodist Church, organized soon after
the Civil War, which was near the site. No records of this church have survived. In the 1880s the
property was owned by Dr. A. H. Palmer, from whom the church and cemetery evidently took their
name. Many of the early settlers in the area, including the Bakers, Palmers, Richardsons and
Thompsons, attended this church. The Valley Grove Baptist Church was organized at Rock Creck
about 1872. If it had a separate cemetery, it has long since vanished. Both churches disbanded soon
after the development of Glenwood just to the north of Rock Creek. Other Rock Creek pioneers are
buried in the following area cemeteries: Amity, County Line, Ebenezer, Bethel, Coker School House,
and the old section of the Glenwood Cemetery.

nly the Names Remain, Vol. 6: Tahlequah &
Skin Bayou District, Indian Territory,
Oklahoma by Sandi Garrett, Cherokee Woman
Publishing, PO Box 48, Spavinaw, OK 74366
(918-589-2236), 169 pages + index, soft cover,
price $30,00. This little book represents the
latest effort in the author's ongoing project to
index one of Oklahoma's earliest Cherokee
sources, the Drennen Roll of 1851, One longstanding problem for Cherokee researchers bas
been the fact that, although their ancestor was
living in Cherokee Nation in 1851, he or she
was often not identifiable because most Indians
had not yet taken ''white'' names, To help with
this problem, this series tries to correlate the
1851 names with those Cherokees who are
listed on
the Guion Miller Rolls of 1910. Thus, one can
learn that Ah-No-Lab-Ca-Yah (1851) was the
grandfather ofJobn No-Fire (1910). This
volume is for Tahlequah and Skin Bayou
Districts, several of the counties of the old
Cherokee Nation. Shortly after the Drennan
rolls were completed, Skin Bayou District
became the Sequoyah District. The 1851 list
contains about 1,000 individuals; however, less
than half were identified with someone on the
1910 list. The every name index makes this
work very easy to use. [RPB]

Tax Lists Searcy County Arkansas 1839-J 866
compiled by James 1. Johnston, 2333 East Oaks
Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72703,82 pages, soft
cover. Searcy County is located in the heart of
the Arkansas Ozarks and is home to a
remarkable number of Arkansas' early
pioneers, especially those from Middle
Tennessee. However, because of the destruction
of all county records during the Civil War,
research into these families has always been
difficult. Mr. Johnston, who is the publisher of
the Searcy County genealogical and historical
"Exchange" ne,,-sletter, seeks to remedy this
situation by transcribing all of the early Searcy
County tax records in the holdings of the
Arkansas History Conunission and State
Archives in Little Rock. These records
survived Searcy County's "frequent court
house burnings" because they were part of the
records of the Auditor of State's office in Little
Rock. They passed into the possession of the
History Conunission in 1911. Until this
publication they had only been available on
microfilm. Although the original records
contain a great deal of information, the author
chooses to print only the names of the tax
payers and the number of "polls" assessed in
each household, i.e., the number of men over
the age of 21 and under 65. He, preserved the
original order of the names for each year, but
chose not to publish an overall index that would
have made this little book even more useful
than it is. The price is $6.50 postpaid.
Arkansas residents, add an additional 23 cents
for tax. [RPB)
Directory of Family Associations, 3rd. edition,
by Elizabeth Petty Bentley, 355 + pages, soft
cover, $34.956, plus $3.50 postage. Published
by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1001 N.
Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 31202-3897, 1800-296-6697. This is an extremely useful
reference work for any and all American
genealogists. It contains current or semicurrent information on over 6,000 family
associations in the United States, most of which
are genealogical in nature, together with
addresses, telephone numbers and contact
persons, as well as publication and newsletter
information. The data was recently collected
from a variety of sources, including
questionnaires and family history journals. One
of the most useful features is the elimination of
the need for a separate cross-reference name
index. Each family name, regardless of
whether it is the main entry or an additional
exchange surname, is placcd together within the
same listing, making it very easy to use. As an
example, some of the information listed under
"Bates Family" is: The Bates Family of Old
Virginia, P. O. Box 9134, Bellevue Station,
Richmond, VA 23227, pub. "Bates Booter",
bimonthly, $10.00 per year membership. Since
information concerning these type of
organizations quickly becomes obsolete, this
new 1996 edition is a must for the well-stocked
genealogical library. [RPB)

paper back, $24.00, plus $4.00 postage. Order
from Heritage Books, 1540 E. Pointer Ridge
PI., Suite 300, Bowie, MD 20716.
Genealogical reference material about
Mississippi has always been welcomed by
Arkansas researchers, since many of us have
Mississippi roots. This can be said especially
for genealogical abstracts from state
newspapers. Leake County, situated along the
Natchez Trace northeast of Jackson, is a
strategic location for early Mississippi families.
Carthage is its county seat. The Carrthaginian
newspaper began publication in t 872, making
it one of the oldest in that area in terms of
continuous publication. This excellent book
contains abstracts from the files of the
newspaper from its beginning until 1900.
Besides the usual marriages and obituaries,
the author has included births, court
proceedings, homestead notices, legal notices,
and any other item of historical or genealogical
interest that she could find. Entries are
grouped by date and the book contains a
surname index. However, no references are
given as to page and column numbers. [RPB]
