Miss Anna Ford [street address removed] Kansas City, Mo. 64109 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////STORY TIME The Frank Hudspeth Family - Marion Co., Ark. (1881-8S) by: Charles Walter Pierce "Father now owned a wagon and team. In the fall before leaving Sugar Orchard, he had purchased the bones of an old wagon. With the crude tools he possessed, he rebuilt this old wagon, and made an almost new wagon of it, minus the paint. It fell to my lot to do most of the hauling in, and moving and hauling about the farm, I soon developed into a very good driver, for my age. I was fourteen years old in December preceeding our move to this place.We made a fairly good crop this year. After the crop was laid by, Bob, George and myself attended a three-month term of school here at the new school house. This being a very large district, something like a hundred, possibly a few more attended. They soon decided to teach a winter term, and Father and Grandfather were employed to teach this winter term. Grandfather came to live with us during this term of school."We lived here for three years, making a fairly good crop each year."FRANK HUDSPETH, the new owner of this farm, had not moved his family onto the farm at the time we came, but did so within a few weeks. His family consisted of a wife, "Aunt Hannah", as she was called, one grown girl Mary Louisa, some nine or ten year olds, a small girl Lizzie and a baby boy Jim."Well, Bob and I had a real time with these young folks for the next three years. They were all lively and delighted in fun and frolic. Mary was just a little more civil, but Sally was a real tomboy and could run as fast, jump as high, and holler as loud as most any boy of her age."We all soon became well acquainted and the time of fun and frolic began."Each family of children or rather the three oldest of each family would take turns about, going and spending the first few hours of the evenings together. This occurred about once a week for a long time. Of course, we knew other young people of the settlement, as we had gone to the same school, but these girls were our special chums.

J. - Emma Wade 22 Jun 1879Silas Hedgepath to Rebecca Rico (Lebanon Co., Pa.) 10 Dec 1825 Levan Woolin, Surity Note: Margaret I, and Mary are children of William Hudspeth and Elizabeth Mc Kaskill .... [ see also NL p. 44] Alice, Fannie, John F., Henry, Synthis & Robert Monroe above are children of Wm. Hudspeth and his second wife Martha Ann Miles. - from: Ann Theg Brown++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++FAMILY ALBUM - Hedgpeth Reunion - (someplace in Oregon) There must have been some sort of special occasion for this gathering for all of the women are wearing corsages. At center is Ellinor (Elliott) Hedgpeth, wife of James Henry Hedgpeth, jr., and mother of the two men, John W. and Lewis Kinman Hedgpeth. These are grandparents of Merle Obenchain and Clarence Hedgpeth and we shall, be able to supply names of the young ladies and perhaps some of the children ..... watch for a note on it. James Kinman and John W. were with their parents in 1867 when the trek to Oregon from Nebraska was made. Since Father James Henry Hedgpeth, jr. is not present on this momentous occasion, we perhaps can assume that it was after his death in 1897 (?). This picture was from the collection of Opal Campbell Hull of Tarkio, Mo., a descendant in this same James Henry, Jr. line. Also in her collection was the picture of the two teen-agers. Always open to question, of course .... no positive identification, but parting of the hair does match. And wouldn't you guess there might be a gun behind the flap of that coat that is so casually hitched back? One of them (Lewis Kinman ?) must be left-handed. Other Hedgpeths will be forthcoming in the Newsletter; some unidentified .... Wonder how many we can Place? Have you any "mystery pictures"? Send them along, and see what we can do.

HEDGPETH NEWSLETTER - I/5 FEBRUARY, 1975Editor' s Comments:Rather than a "letter" this form seems to be more acceptable as 3rd Class mailing material ....I am well aware of the apparent lack of organization in present- ing this information each month, and have struggled for a solution to the problem. Since the information arrives as scattered ref- erences from many sources, it must be dispensed this way.I can promise that there will be an attempt at organization when the Index comes out after issue #10. At that time I shall try to separate all names geographically .... still not fool-proof, for they moved around so much!Can someone suggest a numerical system? Could we assign a number for temporary identification to every name as it comes up? That should confuse everybody! Help! Please, help? Anyone?Meanwhile, I am keeping a file card on every name ... placing them on family group sheets when possible ... Haven't yet devised a time-line .... perhaps that would be useful, and if worth-while I shall do it. Cross-file by location & date & name .... ?????One excellent way to pick up contacts is by placing complimentary copies in Gcnealogical Libraries in strategic areas. Would you all please send suggestions (include addresses, please) ? My particular wish is to locate descendants in North Carolina and Virginia .... surely all Hedgpeths did not have itchy feet! Those who remained in the homeland might have some important clues for us. The two versions of the Wagon Train story - 1858-59 from Missouri to California by Judge Joel Hedgpeth family - are too long to be placed in the Newsletter, also they would not be "news" to many of you who have the stories already. Therefore, I shall type both versions in a small booklet .... 25-30 pages, I think .... and those of you wanting copies may order them ..... They will be advertised in a future issue when they are ready .... price not yet determined, but will just cover my costs. Let me know if you are interested so that I shall have an idea how many copies to make. When submitting material, please if at all possible make a note of your source of information .... and do include dates (even approx- imate dates) and locations. Much of the information handed down via Grandmas is simply a list. Better than nothing! But it would help if you could add other clues to help in establishing identity. If it is your family, you arc in a better position to make guesses than anyone else .... we can work together to prove your guesses to be right or wrong.And keep the corrections coming! I am not the least sensitive about making an error .... just embarrassed if an error goes unrevised ..... BE SURE TO AMEND YOUR BACK COPIES TO COMPLY !!!!- Fran Nelson
