I am a resident of Kansas City (Jackson County), Missouri, and I've recently embarked upon a genealogical research project for the surnames WOODFORD and WASHINGTON in Woodruff County and Prairie County, respectively. I've read with interest the Prairie County History website, and have the following questions: 1. Does the Cemetery Inscription Book contain actual inscriptions and/or obituary information for the persons listed on the web pages? How can I get a copy of the book? I am specifically interested in inscriptions noted for George WASHINGTON (multiple entries are indicated), Cora WASHINGTON and another WASHINGTON, for whom the given name isn't listed. 2. Does the book contain information on blacks buried in Prairie County? The WOODFORDs and WASHINGTONs included in my research for the time period 1860-1930 are black and mulatto. 3. Is there any information about the WASHINGTON surname in what was previously known as Lower Hill Township (now Biscoe, as I've been told)? I am seeking information related to a 13 year-old black girl named Cora WASHINGTON who may have become pregnant by an older man, named Charlie S. WOODFORD who appears to have been 29 at the time he fathered her child, Rufus C. WASHINGTON. (Rufus C. WASHINGTON is my maternal grandfather, b. 29 Aug 1895, enumerated in 1910 Woodruff County Census in WOODFORD household as "nephew"). The story I've heard is that my grandfather's mother died in childbirth, and his father committed suicide. The family history I have suggests that he went to live with his grandparents in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. However, my research indicates otherwise -- I believe that the 16 year-old Cora WASHINGTON I located in the Prairie County 1900 Census is actually my grandfather's mother. My theory is that she and Charlie Woodford conceived a child, and she later married Horace C. WOODFORD in 1904 -- Horace and Cora were in the Woodruff County 1910 Census (Cora was then 26, which makes sense). If Horace did kill himself, then Horace would have married his brother's mate (as was customary years ago), and raised his brother's child as his [Horace's] nephew. I apologize for this lengthy message. Thanks for reading it, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who has valuable information.

His wife was Martha Ann Tindall FORT and she died in Nacogdoches County, TX around 1910. He had sons, John, William, Isaac, who all lived in Prairie County. He signed Deeds of Trust to farm land that belonged to Hamp MINTON in Prairie County, the last document being dated in January of 1886. His wife, Martha Ann, was never mentioned in any of the trasactions but she (alone) signed a Deed of Trust with the same Hamp MINTON in December of 1886. This would seem to indicate that Elias had died at some time between January and December of 1886. They were poor people and I am presuming that would have made it necessary for him to have been buried in a cemetery near the Hamp MINTON property. My problem is in locating that property. The positive side to all of this is that FORT family members have a devotion to marking their graves, so I am hoping that Elias's grave is also identified but I am not sure of that. ------- NAME: Danny Sutton EMAIL:sutton.danny@worldnet.att.net SURNAMES: SUTTON, WALKER DATE: Saturday, June 23, 2001 QRYTEXT:My grandfather, Jimmy SUTTON was married to Georgia WALKER.

I have been searching in Pulaski Co. and White Co. for 18 years, but a database today found these two marriages for me. I believe John Wesley BRIDGES and Clinton Henagan BRIDGES were brothers. Clinton'S wife must have died, and he moved to Fla, where he became a doctor, marrying a GA lady. John Wesley BRIDGES 1st wife died in January before he married Frances SLATTERY. John Wesley became an ordained minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, ordained in Searcy. I have a lot on their backgrounds, and would love to exchange information.

Clinton H. BRIDGES 01 May 1856; Lucretia BRIDGES m. N. M. CONWAY (CONAWAY?) 01 Sep 1857; John Wesley BRIDGES m. Frances E. SLATTERY 17 Nov 1872. John Wesley BRIDGES was my g.grandfather; Lucretia and Clinton were his brother and sister. Lucretia and Mr. CONWAY must have died, because in the 1860's custody of their two sons is granted to the mother of John Wesley, Mary BRIDGES, in Pulaski County. After she died, the boys went to live with a BRIDGES aunt in Little Rock. Elizabeth ALDRIDGE either died or the marriage broke up because Clinton H. BRIDGES married in 1859 an Emaline WARREN of Macon Co.,GA. He served in the Civil War, and they eventually settled in Coleman, Florida. If anyone has connections to any of these people, please contact me. Question: If a family was found in Caroline Township in the 1850 census, Pulaski Co., would that have later been what was to become Prairie Co?

On my visit to Prairie County last week I uncovered what I think is the answer to the Sarah Augusta OLIVER and Sallie L. OLIVER marriage to William "Bill" SPARKS. Sarah A. OLIVER married him May 10, 1864; she died Jan. 3 1886. Sallie L. OLIVER was Sallie L. JONES on the 1880, census a widow living with her father and mother. I found a marriage license for William SPARKS and Sallie L. JONES dated May 7, 1886 (Book F page 472 1881-1888). So it looks like when Sarah died William was left with your children, he married Sallie who helped his raise his children and he raised her children.
