Any help will be appreciated. As far as we ever knew, my grandfather and his siblings and parents were the only family to have come to the "new" country, but the WWW is proving that to be wrong. So, anyone out there that can help me with this "branch of the tree", please E-mail me and we can swap info and family trees. I have ours back to Europe 3-4 generations.

Name: James R. (Jim) Dunn Website: Referred by: Yahoo! From: Pensacola, Florida Time: 2000-01-22 05:53:46 Comments: I am looking for information on DUNN, MELTON, LANE, PONDER. I was born in Trumann in 1934. I am looking for information about my grand parents, John Madison Dunn (1873 - 1960) and his wife Myrtie Mae Melton Dunn (1880 - 1955). From sometime in the 1920's, they lived on Main Street in Trumann, just west of, and across the street from the Christian Church, that he helped build. They moved from Trumann to Water Valley, Kentucky about 1950. Reportedly, my grandmother was born near Martin, Tennessee. I also am looking for information on Ora Lee Lane, who had a farm on old US 63 about 2 miles due south of Trumann. She had a son, Robert Lee Lane, an insurance salesman, who died in Jonesboro about 1970. My mother is Ila Fern Ponder, daughter of Milburn or (Milborne) Elonzo Ponder (1881 - c1925 or 1963) and Evelyn (Eve or Eva) Brock Denning (Sep 5, 1878 to June 14, 1961). They came from Walnut Ridge about 1925 and lived in Trumann. In the early 1930's, Eva and the children went to St. Louis, and I know about many of them. I do not know anything about Milburn. Reportedly, he remarried a "Tena" and had two children, and resided in the Jonesboro area. I will gladly exchange information with anyone who helps. Jim Dunn, Pensacola, Florida
Name: John Walter Cooper, Jr. Website: Cooper Page Referred by: Lycos From: Tampa, Florida Time: 2000-02-09 04:37:40 Comments: I am searching for information about my greatgrandfather, Isaac "Ike" Cooper, who supposedly founded the "Cooper School" in White Hall, Arkansas. The Cooper School building was turned into a country store&service station, owned and operated by my grandfather Walter B. Cooper, who passed on in 1951. I have heard that my greatgrandfather Ike was the head of the school, head of the church and community with an almost cult-like following. I recently drove by the site of the old country store on Highway 1 between Cherry Valley and Harrisburg. It is now a very attractive personal residence of a Mr. Andrew Cooper, a distant relative that I have never met. Thanks for any info available on Isaac Cooper and the Cooper School. John W.

He married in Gainesville, AR in 1888, and the homestead seems to be in Lafe. I last find Grandpa H.W. residing in Singer Log Camp during the January 1920 census with his second wife, Ora Hefner Nipper Anderson, and two of his children by his first marriage (Addie Cole Anderson) The children are Everett Anderson (b 11-7-1912, Peach Orchard) and Jefferson Davis (3/22/1905-7/19/1977). H.W. died three weeks after the census at Saint Bernard's Hospital in Jonesboro. The census tells me his neighbor at Singer Log Camp was a merchant named FOSTER ANDERSON. A relative? Living in the household during the census was a hired hand named Boyd Couch. Anything sound familiar? Of interest to me are: H.W.'s brother, James Anderson, who is buried somewhere in Lawrence County; H.W. sister, Lillie (born in MO) and H.W.'s other children: Mavis, Lena, Pearl, Ruth Jones, Richard A., Telfair and William.

Name: Erma Walsh Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: York, PA Time: 2000-07-04 03:53:57 Comments: I was looking for information on Arkansas, particularly Poinsett Co., and found your site. I am searching for the death date and place of burial for my great grandfather, William S. WOODSIDE. He was on the 1910 Census in Scott Township, along with his wife Mary. He does not appear on the 1920 Census, only Mary living with her son, Jesse V. POWELL.. I believe he died sometime between the 1910 census and the year 1914, as I looked for a death certificate filed with the State, but there was no record. If anyone has any information that might be helpful, please contact me at cometgenie@worldnet.att.net.

Got a lot of dates from the cemetaries that had been researched. My great grandfather, SAMEUL CARY came to Poinsett County in 1839 at the age of three. He lived at Bolivar, dying on December 31, 1900. Many of his descendents lived in Poinsett and Craighead County. I also am researching the Thomas Bennett Family who came to Craighead County in 1867. One son, Elijah Bennett and his descendents lived on Old Ridge Road. The Winningham family of Poinsett County is one line of Elijah Bennett. Anyone working on the Cary or Bennett line, please contact me.

Name: Ann Adams McPherson Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Lawton, OK Time: 2000-10-26 03:59:49 Comments: I have visited the page before and was impressed. I was born in Bay, Arkansas and my mother and grandmother were both born in Trumann. I am trying to find information regarding my grandmother's parents. Thier names were Joseph Lonzo Lee and Janey Belle Painter. My grandmother was born in 1897, but have not been able to find the family on any census. I have checked for marriage license and death certificates and have been able to find nothing. I believe Belle was buried in Wilson Cemetery, but have not been able to find where Joe was buried. As my mother was also born in Truman in 1922, I believe the family was in the area for quite a few years. My grandmother was Stella Lee, who married George Goodon. Her siblings that I know about were Clarence, Grover, there may have also been Tommy, Alfred, Evelyn, and Jenny. Joe Lee had brothers, Rob and Tom. I know absolutely nothing about Janey Belle Painter's parents. I would appreciate any information on these families. Thanks in advance.
