I am researching the lives and times and also the antecedents of STANFORD,
HARRIS, LAMB, ANDERSON families who were pioneer residents of
what is now Greene County Arkansas from 1827 to 1840. They
received federal patents to lands in the Lorado area. I have a
lot of Stanford data to share, but little relating to the other
families.
George Stanford and his wife Jemima Farrar; John Stanford, whom I
believe to have been a brother of George; and Jennet Stanford
Lamb, a sister of George, whose husband was Isaac Lamb emigrated
to northeastern Arkansas in 1827. Previously they had all lived
in Marion County, Alabama (1819-27) and before that in Giles
County, Tennessee (1809-1819). The Stanfords had earlier come to
Tennessee from Chester County, South Carolina. In Arkansas, they
left tracks in Lawrence Co. and, after it was organized in Greene
Co. Thomas Stanford, my great grandfather, was the oldest son of
George and Jemima Stanford. He married Lemerles Katherine Wilson
Harris in Lawrence Co. in 1832. Her parents were Nicholas Harris
and Jessie Hall who had had previously lived in North Carolina
and Tennessee.
George Stanford died in 1840. I do not know where he was buried.
The family were staunch Methodists, but I do not know what church
they attended. By the time of the census of 1850, neither George
StanfordAEs widow nor any of his children remained in Greene Co.
Nicholas Harris and oJinseyoe Harris were still living there in
1850 as were several Lamb families.
Two children of George & Jemima Stanford married Anderson
siblings. Their son George W. Stanford married Rhoda Anderson and
their daughter Elizabeth Jane Stanford married Preston Neely
Anderson. Ed Stanford, 108 Lynnmoor Drive, Silver Spring, MD

Searching for information on my great-grandfather, James Henry
WESTFALL, born circa 1859 in Kentucky. The last information I
have on him is that he was in Paragould, Green Co., Arkansas at
the time of his daughter's marriage (14-DEC-1903). James' first
wife was Emmaline DOOLEY. Their children were: Eva Mae
(1885-1963), Charley, and two daughters (names unknown). After
James' first wife died (circa 1894), he remarried ... possibly to
Irene ELLIOT. This is about the time that he moved to Arkansas. I
find no trace of James after the marriage of his daughter (Eva
Mae WESTFALL to James Nicholas ERVIN/IRVIN). Can anyone help?
