They were in the Ouachita, Dallas, and Calhoun county areas. I don't know dates as my father, Oscar LOWELL Doherty died in Bearden, Arkansas March 3, 1974 (Ouachita County). These were his parents. Your help will be greatly appreciated as I know VERY little about Daddy's family!

EVANS posted by John L. Evans on Thursday, February 26, 1998: James Lambuth EVANS was a Methodist minister at Smackover, AR, in Union Co. I found no records of him there, so he may have lived in Ouachita Co. Also, he changed over to the Baptist Denomination sometime after 1930. He was in the area at that time. I'm hoping that some of his family is still around.
