DAVIS, HARRIS, KING, ROGERS, WITHERINGTON posted by William R. King, Jr. on Wednesday, March 4, 1998

Ouachita County @ 1900 Census - Washington Township. James M. KING (born abt. 1848-Ark)and wife Elizabeth (born abt. 1857-Ark). Elizabeth was known as "Bettie", but actual name is thought to have been Margaret Elizabeth ROGERS. They were married in Calhoun County 18 Dec. 1873. Parents of James M. KING were John T. KING & Martha Carrie WITHERINGTON, who resided in Fayette Township, near old community of Artesian, in Calhoun County from about 1847. Most of the children of James & Elizabeth moved from Ouachita County to Grant Parish, Louisiana following the death of father,James, in early 1900's. Would like to share information with families having ancestors living in Washington Township-Ouachita County around 1900 who might assist in determining date of James M. KING's death and burial place. I am member of Ouachita- Calhoun Genealogical Society and will greatly appreciate any new information.
DAVIS, HARRIS, KING, PARKER, ROGERS, WITHERINGTON posted by William R. King, Jr. on Thursday, March 5, 1998

James M. KING (b. abt 1848-49 in Ark) & Margaret Elizabeth ROGERS (b. abt 1857 in Ark), and children appeared in 1900 Census, Washington Township, Ouachita County. Daughter, Lillian (b.1881 in Ark), married J. H. WILLIAMS in Ouachita County in Oct. 1898. Her marriage certificate shows Lillian to be from Elliott (?). James & Elizabeth were married in Calhoun County in 1873 and appeared in Fayette Township, near Artesian, in the 1870 & 1880 census records. Have been unable to locate any records indicating dates of death or burial places for James & Elizabeth. 1900 census-Ouachita CO is last time they have been located. Most of the children of James & Elizabeth moved to Grant Parish Louisiana in early 1900's, leading us to believe that James & Elizabeth probably died sometime early in 1900's. Children of James & Elizabeth were: Thomas L.(b. abt 1874), married Martha A. MERRITT in 1899 in Calhoun County. William Clayborn (b. Jul 1875), married Mollie HALL about 1908 in Grant Parish, La. Arthur Edward (b. Mar 1879) married Mrs. Sallie HARRIS PARKER in Feb. 1898 in Calhoun County. Sallie died following birth of my father, William Riley KING on 13 Dec. 1898 in Calhoun Co. Lillian V., (b. abt 1881) She first married J. H. WILLIAMS in Ouachita Co in Oct. 1898. She second married Silus W. (Bud) COBB. Lillian & Silus COBB lived in Selma, Grant Parish, La. Garland KING. No info on this son, born about 1883. Jessie Melton, (b. Jun 1885, possibly in Union CO). Jessie married Nettie May SMITH in Aug 1909 in Selma, Grant Parish, La. Albert Cleveland, (b. Oct 1888 in Ark), married Bessie WILLIAMS in 1910 in Grant Parish, La. Second married Bessie RAYBURN, probably in Grant Parish, La., date unknown, but before 1930. Bessie KING, (b. Sep 1892 in Ark), married Louis N. ARMSTRONG (minister), probably in Grant Parish. No children. George Leonard, (b. Jan 1895 in Ark). Never married, died in 1920 in Selma, Grant Parish, La. Parents of James M. KING were John T. KING (b. abt 1816 in SC) and Martha Carrie WITHERINGTON (b. abt 1830 in Ala.) John T. & Martha Carrie moved to Arkansas about 1847 and lived in Calhoun Co for the remainder of their lives. Would greatly appreciate any new information on these early families of Calhoun & Ouachita Counties. I am a member of the Ouachita-Calhoun Genealogical Society. Thanks for any assistance. Bill King

JONES posted by J. Norvill Jones on Saturday, March 7, 1998

Seek information about my grandfather, Nathan Henry JONES, who enlisted at Camden, Arkansas in May 1861 in Company C (the Camden Knights) of the First (Fagan's) Arkansas Infantry Regiment. Co.C was lead initially by Captain William L. Crenshaw. Any information about the local recruitment of members of this company and its' history will be appreciated. My grandfather later lived in Kingsland, Dorsey (now Cleveland) County but he may have been a resident of Ouachita at the time he enlisted. If he was not, it is likely that he lived in Dallas County where my mother's family were early settlers. I never knew my grandfather JONES and would like to learn more about this side of my family.

Searching for information of my gr grandparents: James M. KING (b. abt 1849-50 in Ark) and MARGARET Elizabeth (Bettie) ROGERS (b. abt 1857 in Ark). James was the son of John T. KING (SC) & Martha Carrie WITHERINGTON (AL), who moved to Calhoun County about 1847. James & Elizabeth are found for the final time in Washington Township, Ouachita County Census Of 1900.

James was deceased prior to 1914 probate in Calhoun Co of the will of Catherine Caroline KING, but all of the children were mentioned in her will. Family info indicates that Elizabeth (Bettie) died while in route to Louisiana to join her older sons, William Clayborn & Arthur Edward in Selma, Grant Parish, LA. She might have been buried in Jonesboro, but have not been able to locate death or burial info there in Jonesboro. Daughter Lillian, married J.H. WILLIAMS in Ouachita County on 2 Oct. 1898. The marriage certificate indicated that Lillian was from the community of Elliott (?), south of Camden. Any information from researchers working Southern Ouachita County about 1890-1900 will be greatly appreciated. I am member of Ouachita-Calhoun Genealogical Society. Thanks !!
