Just found your page on the Web. I am related to the Lamew family (originally Le Meiux) who I believe were among the first settlers of the county. Information is very scarce, and I wonder if any Lamews remain in the county and if any of them have attempted to trace the family back past 1870? I have my charts from that date onwards. Thanks for any help you can give, and if it is important to anyone, I have some great pictures that belonged to my GGrandmother Lamew.

In 1854 Isaac and Synthia A. (maiden name unkn) Davidson moved to Black Rock

died 1860 Benton Co., TN. Need the death date and location of Isaac. His
spouse Synthia A. appears in the 1870 and 1880 census in Lawrence Co. AR.

I am searching for information on my ggg and gg grandfathers. William H.
SMITH was in Lawrence County Arkansas in 1842 when he married Missouri
DUKES. I have no date or place of death for William H., nor any record of
divorce, but Missouri was remarried by 1846 to Adam CLEMMONS. Any
information on a William H. SMITH of Lawrence County, Arkansas would be
helpful!!
William H. and Missouri had at least one son, John E. SMITH, born possibly
in 1844. John E. married Sarah Ann SULLIVAN, and they are shown in the
1870 Census of Sharp County AR with two of their children. After this, the
family disappears...according to family lore, they moved to Indian
Territory, Oklahoma. I have as yet to find traces of them there, other
than what the 1900 Sharp County AR Census says is the birthplace of more of
their children. In the 1900 Census, Sarah Ann SMITH is shown to be back in
Arkansas, with no husband, calling herself a widow, with three different
children.
Any information on the descendants of John E.SMITH and Sarah Ann SULLIVAN
SMITH would be extremely helpful.

I am seeking info. on the Smithee family of Lawrence Co., before 1880.
My 3ggrandmother Elizabeth Smithee married ________ Goatcher and lived
in Independence Co., before moving to Conway Co., where she died. Her
2nd marriage was to a Mr. Kirkpatrick. The Smithee(EY) families in the
census may have been in the part of Lawrence Co., which became part of
Sharp Co. after Sharp's creation. I need proof of Elizbeth's
connection to the appropriate Smithee family group, and, if possible,
of her marriage to Mr. Goatcher. Any other info., re:Goatcher would

I am seeking information on ENOCH JACKSON. He and his family were listed in
the 1860 Census for Lawrence County, AR. I know he was in Lawrence County as
early as 1853, as I have the marriage record for he and his wife, Eda Wade
Foster. He enlisted with the First Arkansas Volunteers in 1861 and served
30 days. Where did he go after that? Where was he before 1853?
In the early 1820's a Clarender (Clarendon) HOOPER left Wayne County, IL
and came to Lawrence County, AR. He brought with him a Cynthia MERRITT,
whom he possible married. According to Probate records he was appointed
Administrator on 27 March 1830 for William CRAVENS' estate. He also was
appointed as Adm'r de bonis non on 4 Apr 1831. This information comes
from a book by Marion Craig, M.D., now deceased. His wife told me that
she turned all his research over to the Arkansas Historical Society.
Does anyone know where the original Probate papers of Lawrence County
for 1815-1890 are kept and is it possible to get copies of any of these?
I would like copies for specimen handwritings, if Clarendon signed the
papers. Dr. Craig once told me that he had seen the HOOPER signature on
some of the papers. The Cynthia MERRITT HOOPER married a David Dunn
SLOCUMB in Lawrence County in 1833, indicating that maybe Clarendon was
deceased. Would anyone have any information on this situation,
especially if it is possible to get copies with signatures? I will
share any information I have on the HOOPER line which came out of Union
County, KY.

LONG, CLAKEY b. 10 Apr 1865 Rising Fawn, Dade Co. GA, d. 14 Aug 1939 Lynn,
Lawrence Co. AR, m. Francis Woods 17 Apr. 1889 Lawrence Co. AR. Clakey had a
brother named LOOKOUT LONG and a sister SALLY. I believe all three moved to
Lawrence Co. after the 1880 census as Lookout Long shows up in the 1880 Mill
Dist., Dade Co. GA census. Parents may have been ASA & MELISSA BRYANT LONG.
After Clakey married he lived in the Lynn area of Lawrence Co, brother
Lookout lived in Reeds Creek. With names like these someone must know of
them! Would like to exchange info. with anyone researching this Long family.
