Name: Marcia Snow Wilson <wilsnow@goldrush.com>
Date: 2000-06-16
Requested Surname: Snow, Taylor, Slusher, Self
Comments:
Hi Judy,

All four of my paternal grandparents and families lived in Newton County between the years of the 1840's until about the 1890's. The surnames are SNOW, TAYLOR, SLUSHER, SELF. I would like the info I have collected to be included on your pages. I collected quite a bit of info when I had the opportunity to visit the Courthouse in Jasper, the Jasper Library, and the Newton County Historical Society. I also use any site I can find on the internet to document my family.

I learned about this site thru Freda Carpenter. I have enjoyed the info, stories and photos so much.

I use Family Tree Maker 7.0

I will await your e-mail for instructions. I'm not good with the technical stuff. (I'm hoping it is just 'copy and paste' easy)!

Thank you,
Marcia Snow Wilson

Dear Judy,
My name is Donna Guthrie Forseth. I was born in Russellville AR. My grandfather was Edward Guthrie my graqndmother was Ethel Willie Hamilton Guthrie. My mother was Ruth Guthrie Wright. My grandparents had 8 children. My oldest aunt is Clara Guthrie Ragsdale and lives in Paris
AR. After reading your famely history I thought I recognised several of the names and so, called Aunt Clara and indeed she confirmed the names.
My aunts had at one time tryed to find out some of our history but was not too successful. I do have a list of some of my Grandfather's family.
I was verry excited when I found your page on the internet. I think we are in some way related. I would love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Donna

 

Name: Cheryl Skinner <skinnerc1@ev1.net>
Date: 2000-06-16
Requested Surname: Clark, Skinner, Lemar
Comments:
I am looking for Clark's who may have lived in Newton County circa 1890's. I have very little to go on. My husband's great-grandfather, Stephen Trigg Skinner, was married to a Margaret Lamar and had three sons, Charles, Albert and Wilburn Skinner. They were living in the Madison County/Boston Mountains area until the late 1890's when Stephen passed away. The boys and their mother moved in with relatives in the Jasper area of Newton County. Margaret was said to have died near or in the White River. The youngsters said they moved in with "old man Clark". Were there any older Clark's with orphaned children reported. Or were there any Lamar's in the county during that time frame. It is believed that Lamar was a married name and Margaret's maiden name may have been Clark.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Cheryl Skinner

Hi Judy,
My name is also Judy...
My family lived in Newton County. In Boston Tswp, and near Jasper. My g g grandfather was Robert Warren. My great grandfather was William A. John Warren who was married to Prudence Wharton, sister to the Mary and Nancy Wharton Dunlap's that died at Mountain Meadows in Utah.
My g g grandfather was last married to an Elizabeth Casey. He died after the 1870 census and before the 1880, Elizabeth was living with her son Ambler Casey in 1880 census.
I really didn't want anything. I just wanted you to know that I think your page is beautiful and you have done a wonderful job making it. The music is outstanding.
Oh, one other thing. My great grandparents William and Prudy were listed as living near Braxton Edgmon in the, I believe, 1860 census. My great grandparents named my great uncle Braxton Edgmon Warren.
Keep up the great work.
God Bless,
Judy Farris
