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

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 72227-5973 (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,

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

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]

28 Volume 35. Number I. March. 1997

information as compiled by the author with the help of family historians from across the nation. It explores Clem roots from Europe during the Middle Ages to America in the 1990s. Volume One is a narrative history of most, if not all, Clem fumilies in this eountry. It is fully indexed and each chapter contains a bibliography of sources. Volume Two contains a list of descendants from 100 separate Clem men and women. It is set up in modified register form with a full name index. Among the larger families listed is that 0 Adam Clem. born in 1765 in GA, many of whose descendants were early pioncersin Arkansas, especially Hot Spring County. The author is to be congratulated in presenting a family history in such an interesting, easy to read, and useful format [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, 1-800-296-6697. 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)

The Carrthaginian newspaper began publication in t 872, making it one of the oldest in that area in terms of continuous publication.

Entries are grouped by date and the book contains a surname index. However, no references are given as to page and column numbers. [RPB]
