(1860 Pemiscot census, age given as 14, but was probably only
12.....all
records of his birth were lost and he didn't know how old he
was). His
name was James Madison ALTSMAN. He became an orphan during the
Civil War
when his father, Andrew, and 2 brothers died in the War. His
children
remembered him telling them of getting "beat out" of some
valuable
property around Carruthersville (of which he was the only heir).
When he
was living in another state, a US Marshall wanted to help him
get it
back, but he couldn't afford it at the time. When he moved
again, to
Ark., 2 lawyers came from Missouri to "help" him get it
back.......he
gave them the only papers he had regarding the land, but he
never heard
from them again.
Can anyone give me any information on ALTSMAN? Does anyone know

Altsmans buried in the county (Elizabeth Altsman, wife of
Andrew)? Thank
