WE'RE A LITTLE LATE, FOLKS

We have received numerous letters from members asking why they had not received the Spring issue of "The Arkansas Family Historian". We're sorry to be so late, and offer as excuse one Patrick Reagan Murphy, a son born April 18th, to Mr. and Mrs. Guy W. Murphy. Mrs. Murphy is editor of "The Arkansas Family Historian". Young Patrick joins three bro­thers and a sister iII. the Murphy household, five good reasons why the editor sometimes runs behind schedule.

FROM THE MAILBOX

Through the courtesy of an Arkansas friend, I have the Fall, 1965 issue of your magazine containing "Arkansas Fishbacks" which interested me very much, as I have been picking up random references on Fishback-Campbell for some time; and, more particularly, because the Henry M. Rector reference rang" a bell in my memory that caused me to scan again the name Rector (associated with Chinn-Conway) in a very wonderful book "Branch, Harris, Jarvis, Chinn" by Benjamin Harris Branch, Jr., III, of Arlington, Virginia, whose Branch ancestry merges with that of my husband, Clayton B. Howe, son of Susan Elizabeth Branch Howe, a direct descendant of Pocahontas. Benjamin Branch's book is one that should be in every midwest historical library . It is beautifully researched, beautifully printed, and beau­tifully baound, and brings to life associations not heretofore well known here.

I am a product of the Arkansas hills, myself, born and reared in Logan County, not far from the Greenwood mentioned by Mr. Carselowery of the Fishback family. So, I could not resist writing to tell you that I have enjoyed my short acquaintance with your publication.

" Mrs. C. B. Howe Route 1 Box 91, Lexington, Mo. 64067

Thank you so kiIjrlly for running my query in your "The Arkansas Family Historian". There have been several families who have written to me; so far the results havtln't been too productive, but several questions have been answered. One gentleman wrote, saying he had visited in my grandfather's home and knew them personally, that he remembered him to have been a doctor. I 'Was elated over this because it was the very first confirmation of the teach­ings of my mother concerning him. I truly appreciate your help. Thank you" kindly.

Marie C. Wayman 480 E. 3rd So. " Price, Utah.

I enjoyed your magazine so very much and when r attended our Genealogical Society's meet­ing here in Shreveport, I carried my copy and passed it aroulld. The members were very im­pressed with the magazine and voted to subscribe to it. I'm looking forward to my next issue.

Mrs. Cleo Schoolfield P. O. Box 802 Shreveport, Louisiana

Through my querie publiShed last year a cousin, James Abston of Monticello, Ark., con­tacted me and we are well on the way to finding our ancestor. Best wishes in your endeavors.

Margaret A. Richardson (Mrs. Agna B.) 6741 Granada Road Prairie Villa~"",;Kansas

Just a quick note to thank you again for referring me to Mrs. Gerald B. McLane. She has done wonders for my Arkansas "puzzles" and the family now knows a great deal more than we did about the Arkansas great-uncles and cousins. We still have a lot more work to do, but thanks to you and Mrs. McLane, we now have facts instead of unverified family traditions.

In your letter you stated that Mrs. McLane had published an index to the 1830 and 1840 censuses but you were not certain that she had indexed 1850. She has indeed indexed the 1850 Arkansas census, which you might want to announce in "The Arkansas Family Historian" .

(NOTE: Mrs. McLane says she has indexes on all Arkansas counties for 1850, but these are not in printed form.)

THE HOLLIS FAMILY

Micajah Hollis, born Aug. 4, 1782, in North Carolina, was married on April 10, 1808 to Frances Hodges, bron July 2, 1790. He died in Tennessee, Dec. 12, 1832, possibly in Wilson County, which is where they were married and lived part, if not all, of their married life. Frances Hodges Hollis died in Arkansas, June 28, 1860. Children born to this couple were:

1. Jeremiah, born Aug. 25, 1809. Ancestor of Calhoun Co., Ark. Hollises. 2. Jesse, born Jan. 1, 1811. Lived most of life in McNairy Co., Tenn. 3. Elizabeth C., born Feb. 14, 1813.

10. William G., born May 27, 1828. Live(l.in Calhoun and Ouachita Cos., Arkansas.

All of the above children were born in Tennessee, and the birthdates were recently found in an old Bible now owned by Mrs. Elsie Harrison, Route 4, Camden, Ark. The other infor­mation comes from Memoirs written by W. T. Hollis and J. W. Hollis, sons of the above Jeremiah Hollis. I would welcome correspondence from anyone interested in the Hollis his­tory and particularly from descendants of the Texas and Tennessee branches.

I also have birthdates of the brothers and sisters of Frances Hodges which I copied from this old Bible, and would like to hear from anyone regarding the Hodges family of late 1700's in Tennessee and North Carolina.

NEW HOPE METHODIST CHURCH, CLARK COUNTY

by

J. Floyd Bullock

The New Hope Methodist Church is no longer in existence, It was a few miles west of Arkadelphia, Clark County, Arkansas. The land for the Church and the Cemetery was dona­ted by my great-great-grandfather, John Bridges.

When the Church was to be built, my gr-gr-grandfather wanted the building to face just so. Therefore, he went at midnight to set the cornerstone by the North Star. Mr gr-grand­father Thomas Jefferson Clingan (John Bridges , son-in-law) worked with him on this project. The Church building was also used as a school, and my grandmother started to school here.

I have not been able to find out where the membership of the Church was sent when the Church was discontinued, but I have been able to locate an old membership roll. It is at the home of Mrs. Edgar (Lizzie) Elder of the Hearn community. It is not the original roll, but was the oldest one I found.

HOME GUARD UNITS IN DALLAS COUNTY, ARKANSAS DURING THE CIVIL WAR

BY; Willma Humphreys Newton (Mrs. Lawrence Newton)

Hampton, Arkansas

4 :l

As the War Between The States became an accepted fact in the minds of the people of the South, those in Dallas County, Arkansas, like those elsewhere in the South, took steps to keep the slave population in check. Fear of a slave uprising was one that was always ne ar the surface of the mind of the Southern planter, who lived in isolated areas surroundecl by a 1 arge group of slaves. With many of the men going to war, it was decided to organize a Home Guard to secure the safety of those at home.

This Guard not only held the slaves in check, but looked after the families of soldiers to see that their actual needs were met. The personnel of the Guard seems to change from time to time, and as more of the young men went into actual fighting with some military organiza­tion. the Home Guard literally became Old Men and Boys Companies.

The following are the lists which appear in the County Court records:
