My students are doing research on Arkansas Post. Between 1810 and the end of the Civil war there was a planter and store owner there by the Name of NOTREBE, FREDIC. There are other spellings of the last name, one being NoRtrebe. He was French and owned approximately 6,000 acres of land in Arkansas, Chicot, and Desha counties. We need to know anything possible about him, his family and descendants. We know that he married a Creole but do not know her name or where she lived before the marriage. Since he was French, we are assuming that he was a Catholic. Any help would be appreciated. Carolyn Porter Social Studies

I am systematically looking at all the CALVIN BAXTERs in the 1870 and 1880 censuses to
see if I can find his location. I notice there is a Calvin Baxter in Desha Co., AR in
the 1870 census in Island Twp. Does anyone have any information on this Calvin? My
Calvin was born in 1845 in Indiana and, in 1870, would have been married, probably with
no children. Any help appreciated.

Thought my grandpa, William Hayes HAIRE, was born in Oakdale, Allen, LA,

he was born in Winchester, Desha, AR (27 Jan 1892). His parents were
James Mildred HAIR(e?) and Fanny May NEWTON, both born in MS. They died
before William was 12. They appeared to have moved around a lot, as my
