There are three books (PR-1, PR-2 and "M")at the Courthouse
at Jasper, the County Seat of Newton County.
The first court session after the Civil War was March 1866,
so if that person died in period preceding 1861 to 1865, the
probate was not heard until March 1866 due to the Civil War.
Exceptions were James Adair and Braxton Edgmon.
The Newton County, Arkansas Courthouse was burned to the ground
in 1863, so all records before that date were destroyed.
