President's Page
Excitement is a common word in the
world of family history. It is exciting to be
able to trace one's roots, whether the family
remained in one place for 200 or more years,
or lived in a different state every time
another decennial census was made.
It is exciting to learn something of the
lifestyle of one's forbears, whether they
were community movers and shakers,
teachers and preachers, civil servants,
soldiers, or what we are likely to refer to as
humble working people. That last term is
awkward since it seems to assert that only a
certain group has humility and is
acquainted with effort in earning a
livelihood.
Occasionally, one may discover an
ancestor who had serious, even fatal,
brushes with the law or other fellow
citizens. Recently, I have enjoyed reading
the details of a shootout at the Union
County Courthouse in El Dorado which left
three persons dead and three wounded. I
had hoped to be present for the reenactment
of this bit of history, but that was not to be.
A small book about this "Tucker-Parnell
Feud" is to be reprinted soon. My interest in
this tragedy was piqued when a longtime
friend told me an outline of the story and
mentioned that the man who was the
ultimate cause of the shootout had, less than
two years before, killed a member of a
family to which both he and I have a
connection.
Excitement breaks out all over when an
ordinary conversation between two
acquaintances lets them learn that they are
probably cousins, however distant. It is
really not a wonder that genealogy is the
third most popular hobby in our country.
Only stamp collecting ard coin collecting
have captured to attentiOn of more people.

As development of digital
communication races on, more and more
information is becoming available to more
and more people. It has been very
interesting and yes, exciting to watch the
growth of what a few years ago we were
calling electronic bulletin boards. We now
have what are more accurately described as
roots web lists. These are electronic Internet
sites where information is stored so that it
can be displayed, added to, or retrieved, by
anyone who has access to a computer and
an Internet connection. These resources can
be any size and can involve the entire
world, the United States, a single county, or
a single family. Access to such lists is free,
though the term subscriber is applied to
each user. I subscribe to three such
automatic mailing lists, and see from 40 to
85 messages per day! Many of these I will
comment upon because I think maybe the
comment will solve a difficulty, or
encourage someone to not give up in their
searches.
A few years ago a gentleman with
whom I share a surname assured me he had
reached an absolute dead end in his
research of that family. I asked him if he
had traced the family to Adam and Eve. He
replied, "No, of course not." "Then," I said,
"you have not reached an absolute dead
end!" There are difficulties,
discouragements, disappointments, and
seemingly insoluble problems. Actually,
however, almost all these have solutions.
The two of us soon made a list of 34 (!)
things he might do to further his research.
Within a month, he sent me a very cheery
letter saying he had picked up the thread
just two counties away from where he
thought he had reached an absolute dead
end. Today, there are more people to help
and more ways to help than ever before:
The Arkansas Family liisloriall - Volume 36, Number 3, September, 1998
Our publication must-- and will- grow
to accommodate these newer, faster
methods of research and communication.
We are already publishing e-mail addresses,
as well as what some refer to as traditional
snail mail addresses of those whose queries
are published in the Arkansas Family
who have made it possible for me to serve
in this way. Thank you!
Let's spread the word about great fun,
great people and great attitudes. THAT is
exciting!
Historian,
Vital records are becoming increasingly
easy to get at because this organization is
publishing microfiche indexes to them.
These indexes list by volume and number
the certificates, which only the state's
Health Department can issue. When one's
order includes this information, it can be
processed in minutes, I was recently in the
Vital Records Division of the Arkansas
Health Department and timed the receipt
and filling of an order. From the time the
signed order was received to the time the
official certificate was ready for mailing was
seven minutes! We have great public
servants who are striving to be just that.
We are investigating ways and places in
which we, as members of the only statewide
genealogical organization, can provide
volunteers who will give free
encouragement and guidance to family
history seekers.
In the meantime, why don't we each
persuade someone to become a member of
the society-or give someone a gift
membership? Fifteen dollars is not a lot to
pay to give a whole year -maybe a lifetimeof pleasure to a friend! They will get about
150 pages of solid information and evidence
in the four issues of the Arkansas Family
Historian they will receive.

Always note the SOUrce of information that you record or photocopy, and date it, too. If the material
is from a book, write the name, author, publisher, year of publication, ISBN or ISSN (if it has one),
and also the library where you found it (or else photocopy the title page). Occasionally, you'll find
that you need to refer to a book again, or go back to great aunt Matilda to clarify something she told
you.
Talk to your older-generation relatives (before they're all gone and you're the older generation!),
Even a distant relative can be a gold mine of information about your ancestors.
Make photocopies or keep backups of all letters and e-mail messages you send. This will save you
from wondering which of your correspondents' questions you've already answered, and which of
your questions they have or haven't answered
Don't procrastinate in responding to letters or messages you receive. If you don't have time to write a
detailed reply, send your correspondent a quick message or postcard to acknowledge receipt and tell
her/him approximately when you'll send a more complete reply Then be sure to write back as
you've promised,
Make frequent backups of your computer disks. Store your backups and photocopies of your
irreplaceable documents where you work or at someone else's home.
When searching for relatives in records, don't pass over entries that are almost (but not quite) what
you're looking for. For example, if you're searching for the marriage of John Brown and Mary Jones
in 1850, make a note of the marriage of John Brown and Mary Smith in 1847; this could be a previous
marriage in which the wife died shortly after.
When writing to libraries or to genealogical or historical societies in your areas of interest, ask them
for the names and addresses of out-of-print booksellers in the area. Write to the booksellers and ask if
they have any old local histories or family histories pertaining to the area.
Remember that just because information is on computer or in print, it ain't necessarily fact!
Information in recent family histories is often based on that from older published works. If the older
books are incorrect, the wrong information simply gets repeated and further disseminated.
The earlier the time period in which you're researching, the less consistent our ancestors were about
the spelling of their surnames. Also, some of them were illiterate and couldn't tell a record keeper
how their names should be spelled.
Family traditions of dose connections to famous people are usually false, but there may be a more
obscure relationship involved. For example, perhaps the famous person spent a night at your
ancestor's inn instead of (as the legend goes) marrying into the family.
Try not to let your research get behind. Establish a filing system for your papers (using file folders or
3-ring binders) and file each page of notes, document, photocopy, etc, as you acquire it. There are few
things more disheartening than contemplating a foot-high stack of unfiled papers, wondering if the
birth certificate you desperately need to refer to is buried somewhere in it.
Double-check all dates to make sure they are reasonable; for example, a woman born in 1790 could
not have become a mother in 1600.
Be on the lookout for nicknames. A request for a birth certificate for Sadie White may be rejected by a
record office if the name in their record files is Sarah White,
Beware of mail-order promotions offenng what might purport to be a personalized genealogy of
your surname with a title like "The Amazing Story of the BLANK Family, BLANKS Since the Civil
War or Burke's Peerage World Book of BLANKS. These books are not properly researched and
documented genealOgies; instead they are often little more than lists of names from phone directories
or other readily available sources. Notify the Better Busmess Bureau, postal authorities and consumer

Don't assume modem meanings for terms used to describe relationships. For example, in the 17th
century a step-<:hild was often called a "son-in-law" or" daughter-in-law", and a "cousin" could refer
to almost any relative except a sibling or child.
Remember that indexes to books rarely include the names of all persons mentioned in the book and,
in addition, occasionally contain errors. If it appears the book is likely to have valuable information,
spend some time skimming its contents rather than retuming it to the library shelf after a quick
glance at the index.
Be precise when making notes and especially when sharing information with others. Write dates
using an unambiguous format: Americans interpret 5/6/1881 as 6 May 1881, but in many other
countries it would be read as 5 June 1881. If it is written as 06 May 1881, it cannot be misinterpreted
and requires no punctuation. Always capitalize or underline surnames, some of which can be
mistaken for given names, e.g., HENRY HOWARD. Please note place names in full, including parish
or township, county, state or province, or country.
You'll often encounter conflicting information. For example, you might discover that your paternal
grandmother's birth date on her gravestone is different than her birth date as told to you by your
father. Note the source for each piece of information, but don't feel you have to decide immediately
which date is the correct one. In fact, both of them may be wrong! Further research may reveal a more
credible birth date, for example, the one on her birth certificate. Take time occasionally to review and
verify the conclusions you've reached concerning each of your ancestor's lives; this will prevent you
from wasting time following blind alleys.
Boundaries and place names change constantly over the years. Always verify them in historiCal
atlases or genealogical texts pertaining to the area. For example, the boundaries of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, have changed four times since it was first colonized.
Whenever you can, advertise the surnames you're researching by posting them electronically (for
example, on the ROOTS-L Surname List) and submitting them to genealogical directories and
surname lists published by genealogical societies that you belong to. This will put you in touch with
others who are researching the same surnames - possibly for a much longer time- and save you from
reinventing the wheel. After all, the most rewarding genealogical research is the kind that no one else
has already done!
Harrisburg County officers are preparing for circuit court which convenes Monday. One of the most

Hutson Pioneer Cemetery______________
Lonoke County, Arkansas
Tom C Martinet, 82 Hummingbird
Lane, Cabot, AR 72023, advises that the
Unknown Cemetery published in
Volume 36, No.1, of The Arkansas Family
Historian, was identified as the Hutson
Pioneer Cemetery and was first found
listed in Grand Prairie Potpourrri, Vol. 1,
by Kay Sakaris.
Cummins, Alexander Gray, b. 15 Mar
1800; d. 28 Aug 1862; no stone found;
CSA, Center Twp. Home Guard
Mr. Martinet states he was taken to the
cemetery on 28 April 1994 by Mr. Bryan
Hutson, and that the cemetery is located
northwest of Walters Chapel road next
to a lake. A four-wheel drive vehicle is
required to get to it. Mr. Hutson helped
read the inscriptions of the 12
gravestones there. The property is
owned by James Young. Ms. Sakaris
stays "Hutson Cemetery sleeps near the
banks of Wattensas Bayou in North
Eastern part of Lonoke County." She
listed about 30 people buried there. It is
suspected there were more but the
elements and undergrowth have taken a
toll.

Pension Applications for Blind Indigent Persons_
On March 20, 1931, the Arkansas Legislature approved Act 150, which levied a tax on all
billiard and poolrooms. The revenue from this tax was credited to a fund to be known as
the Indigent Blind Fund and was to be used exclusively for the purpose of paying
pensions to blind indigent citizens of the state. All blind indigent citizens of the state
were to perfect their claims before the Chancery Court or Judge thereof for the district
where they resided. The fund was administered by the Confederate Pension Board and
included both black and white citizens.
Listed here are the application numbers, names and counties involved. Copies of these
files can be ordered for $10.00 each from the Arkansas History Commission, 1 Capitol
Mall, Little Rock, AR 72201. The balance of this list will be in the December, 1998, AFH.

"We Are Cherokee!"
Submitted by John E. Ernest, 4407 51st st. NE, Seattle, WA 98105-4932
When I was growing up, I remember my Dad saying this whenever it seemed appropriate. His
father Thomas Heruy Ernest (1884-1970) said the same thing whether it was appropriate or not.
However that was all that was ever said. Not who, not when or where. Some clarification came
in 1%5 when Thomas Henry told his daughter Gara Ernest Melcher that" great-grandmother 'h
Cherokee." In addition, Thomas Henry provided Clara with a list of his siblingsl some of whom
were unknown to the rest of the family. Our grandfather was a man of few words. The only
other thing that we knew at that time was that Thomas Henry Ernest was born 4 December 1884
in Eufaula, Oklahoma, and that his father Ed Earnest had died about two 112 years later (1888).
Thomas Henry also said that his brother Lewis" died." What an understatement! Actually,
Lewis Edward Ernest was murdered in Lenna, Oklahoma on 17 April 1911 by his wife's
boyfriend>. It was with this discovery that I started my research.
Lewis Edward's death date enabled my brother Frank to get a death certificate for Lewis; that
which indicated that his mother was Maude Williams'. As I began questioning my aunts about
this, I found out that Maude Williams Earnest had remarried in 18924 , after the death of her
husband Ed Earnest in 1888, to a Creek Indian named Chatman Riley'. In addition to the six
Earnest children, Maude had four more children by Chatman6 • Now that I had some names to
work with I went to the census records. I found Mauday Riley in 1910 with husband Chatman
and their children'. This record indicated that Mauday was a white person, born in Arkansas
and was age 55 on her last birthday".
The next step was to verify that Maude's surname was indeed Williams. I sent for and received
Thomas Henry's Social Security application 9• Much to my surprise, he had indicated his
mother's maiden name to be Amanda Griepenkirel. How could he be mistaken, or was he? His
brother Lewis' death certificate had the usual information, place of death, cause of death, the
name of the doctor, etc. However, some of the information on the death certificate can only be
supplied by an informant. As to this death certificate, who was the informant and how credible
was this person? Well, Lewis was dead, his wife Ada Belle was in jail having been suspected of
being involved in the murder, his brother Thomas Heruy was living in Stratford in Garvin
County more than 100 miles away10. Their two sisters' Nettie and Bettie and grandmother Lizzie
Moore disappeared after the 1900 Census11 , and their sister Myrtle Earnest Smith was living in
Yeager" in Hughes County about 40 miles south west of Lenna. However, Maude Earnest Riley
was living with her husband Chatman and children near Hanna only about 10 miles to the west
of Lenna where Lewis was shot". It would appear that Maude Williams Earnest Riley was the
most likely informant.
Who then was Amanda Griepenkirel? I found in the 1860 Oklahoma Indian Territory Census, a
Dr. Ferdinand Griepenkirel, a single male", According to the IGI", he was born in Brilon,
Westphalia, Prussia in 1826, the son of Johann Christian Griepenkirel and Elisabeth Johanna
Linde'". Dr. Griepenkirelleft Hamburg, Germany" for New York City on 15 July 1850. He was
married in 186216 to Mary Louise Raper, daughter of John and Annie Raper19 • In 1865 he and
121
Mary moved to Texanna 20 , Dr. Griepenkirel died there in 1898. Mary Louise Raper Griepenkirel
was on the Dawes Roll as a 112 blood Cherokee Indian, born in Indian Territory in 1840".
According to her application, she had always lived in Indian territory and her mother Armie
Raper was a full blood Cherokee married to a white man. Was she Amanda's mother? Mary
Louise Griepenkirel died in 1902, and in 1910 there was an official inquiry as to Mary
Griepenkirel's death date, Her friend Rachel Thornberry gave the following testimony22:
" Q: Are there any children or are there any relatives of Mrs. Mary L. Griepenkirel?"
A: "There never was any children of their own" they raised three orphans23 ."
Also, Mary Griepenkirel had stated in her application for the Dawes Roll that she was born in
Indian Territory and had lived there all of her life. Maud Riley was born in Arkansas, according
to the 1910 Census.
I found a Lizzie Moore2' living in Pottawatomie County, Forest Twp, in 190025. In her household
were her granddaughters: Nettie, Bettie, Myrtle Eamest2b and great-grandson James H
Earnest27 , According to that census record, Lizzie Moore was born in Indian Territory in August
1835, that she was an Indian and did not speak English. Lizzie was therefore born in Indian
Territory prior to the main removal of the Cherokee Nation from the East in 1838/39 (frail of
Tears), In 1851 there were two rolls established for those living in the Cherokee Nation. Those
who came prior to the main body in 1838/39 were listed on the "Old Settler Roll", created in
185128 . Lizzie Williams does not appear on this rolL Those who came in 1838/39 as a result of
the treaty of New Echota (1835)29 were on the "Drennen Roll" created in 185230 , The next rolls
that were taken was the Dawes Roll of 1898 and the Guion Miller Roll in 190931 , Neither
Amanda Williams nor Lizzie Moore were on any of these rolls.
There are also the Cherokee Emigration Rolls of 1817-183532 . These were the Cherokee living in
the East who filed to immigrate to Arkansas Territory33, and after 1828 to Oklahoma Indian
Territory, In these Rolls are Hanhah, Tom and Jonathan Williams, but again no Lizzie Williams,
The 1860 Census of the Indian Lands in Oklahoma Indian Territory lists several Williams
families, but no Lizzie Williams"". In that same Census Dr. Griepenkirel was listed as a single
male living in the Illinois District of the Cherokee Nation, Post Office-Fort Gibson,
In checking the various Indian Rolls I discovered that Mary L Griepenkirel was listed on the
Dawes Rolls". It was in her application file'" that I discovered a "truth"37 regarding Indian
research which eventually led me to our Indian(?) ancestor. Mary Griepenkirel died in 1902, In
1910 the Department of the Interior found it necessary to determine Mary's exact date of death,
Rachel Thornberry, a longtime friend, gave a deposition as to Mary's death date.
"Question: Are you a citizen of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians?
Answer: Yes, a Cherokee by blood, but I have forfeited my rights, You see my husband,
when the war'" broke out, left for the army and I went to Texas and stayed until '66,"
It suddenly occurred to me that Lizzie Williams was not on any of the Rolls because she had not
been born in or had not lived continuously in Indian Territory Oklahoma.
122
The Arkansas Family II istorian - Volume 36> Number 3, September, 1()98
If not Oklahoma Indian Territory39, then what "Indian Territory" did the 1900 census record for
Lizzie Moore refer to? Given that her daughter, Maude Williams Earnest Riley, was born in
Arkansas I now believed that I was looking in the wrong place. According to the 1900
Oklahoma Territory Census, Lizzie Moore was born in August of 1835. In the 1850 Arkansas
Census I found a Joel Williams in Yell County, Dutchess Creek Twp40. In his household was his
wife Nancy, and daughter Elizabeth age 15 and her siblings4!42. The enumeration date was 12
December 1850 which makes Elizabeth 15 years old by that date. What about Lizzie Moore
being born in "Indian Territory?" Dutch Creek is just a few miles south of the Cherokee Tract4',
an area once occupied by the Cherokee Indians.The History of Yell Co. states "regardless of the
Treaty of 1817, Cherokees were established south of the river (Arkansas) in great numbers, on
Dardanelle plain, Checkalah, Dutch and Shoal Creeks, ... "44
It would be helpful if the 1850 and 1860 Census records would have indicated that Nancy
Williams was an Indian, but alas no. The census instructions'S to Marshals directed them as
follows: Under heading six entitled" color," in all cases where the person is white, leave the
space blank; in all cases where the person is black, insert the letter "B," if mulatto, insert "M."
So if Nancy Williams was a Cherokee Indian, the census taker would have indicated "white" as
there was no instruction for "Indian".
Joel Williams came to Scott Co., Arkansas sometime after 1830 as he is not in the 1830 Arkansas
Census. He is there in 1835 as daughter Elizabeth is born in Arkansas. Joel Williams was in the
1840 Arkansas Census in Scott CO.'6 By 1850 Joel was in Yell County which was created from
Scott in 184047 . In both Census records he is shown as living on Dutch Creek (Dutchess Creek
Twp.). By 1860 Elizabeth was no longer in his household's. A substantial number of marriage
records for Yell Co. have survived, but no marriage record for Elizabeth Williams was found.
Nancy Williams died sometime before 1864 and Joel married Caroline Owens in 186449 . Both he
and Caroline died in January 187650. A Letter of Administration was filed April 9, 1877 at the
Yell Co. Court House 51 The Letter of Administration was in effect until January 12, 1888 when
the Administrator was discharged52. This final entry did not indicate the disposition of the
estate or mention any heirs.
Could there be more Williams families in Arkansas with a daughter Elizabeth born in Arkansas
in August of 1835?
1. There was a William E. Williams of Saline Co. who had an Elizabeth, age 1653 . Unable to
locate him in 1860.
2. Benjamin Williams of Carroll Co. had an Elizabeth age 14, but she was born in Indiana".
3. C. P. Williams of White Co. had an Elizabeth age 16 but she was born in Kentucky55.
4. John Williams of Izard Co. had an Elizabeth age 14 but she was only 14 by the Enumeration
Date of September 26, J 85056.
123
5. W. G. Williams of Madison Co. had an Elizabeth age 1457. Enumeration date was August 14,
1850. In 1860 W. G. Williams was living in Benton Co. and Elizabeth was still at home, age 2558 .
There was no Amanda in that household.
The 1860 Arkansas Census index" does not show an Elizabeth and Amanda Griepenkirel or
Williams living together"'. There are three Amanda Williams in the 1860 Arkansas Census all
born in 1855:
1. William Williams was living in Johnson Co. to the north of Yell County61. He had in his
household an Amanda Williams age five. Also, in this household there is a William Hendricks,
age 1662 • However William was in Scott Co. in 1870 which is west of Yell Co.'" Amanda J.
Williams was still in this household, age 15, but no Elizabeth.
2. Hansford Williams was living in Crawford Co. and he had an Amanda in his household, age
fourM. In 187065 Amanda was still at home but she was gone from this household in 188!J66.
According to the 1850 Census for this family there is no Elizabeth in the household6?
3. Amanda Williams was listed as head of household, Prairie Co., but she was age 2868 .
Where were Elizabeth and Amanda in 18607 Census indexes for 1860 for Arkansas and
Oklahoma Indian Territory do not indicate a household with an Elizabeth as head of household
and Amanda Williams\ or Griepenkirel69 •
The 1870 Arkansas Census index has several Elizabeths'o and Amandas71 • None of these fit the
facts already stated. There was however an Amanda Williams in Fort Smith, Sebastian Co.,
listed in the household of John Schabdach, age 38, a Bar Keeper from Bavaria72. This Amanda
was age 15 and born in Arkansas.
.
There are two questions to be answered:
1) Is Nancy Williams Thomas Henry's greatgrand mother, and
2) Is Nancy Williams a Cherokee?
1) Is Nancy Williams Thomas Henry's greatgrandmother?
a) The naming pattern of Nancy Williams's children suggest that she is:
Nancy Williams' children
Elizabeth
Lewis E.
Thomas
Henry
Mary
David
Amanda Williams Earnest's children
Bettie
Lewis Edward
Thomas Henry
Amanda's grandaughter Mary Ernest
Amanda's grandson Clarence David
b) There are no other families listed in the 1850 Arkansas index that have a daughter of the right
name and age.
c) Amanda (Maudy) Was born in Arkansas.
124
The Arkansas Family Historian - Volume 36, Number 3. September. 1998
2) Is Nancy Williams Cherokee?
a) Thomas Henry's statement" greatgrandmother h Cherokee.
b) Lizzie Williams was an Indian, per 1900 Census.
c) Joel and Nancy Williams live in an area occupied by the Cherokee.
d) Nancy Williams was born in Kentucky, once part of the Cherokee lands in the East7'.
e) There is no evidence to suggest that she was not a Cherokee or an Indian.
H
Conclusions
1. Maude Williams and Amanda Griepenkirel are the same person.
2. Joel and Nancy Williams are Thomas Henry's great grandparents
3. Dr. Ferdinand Griepenkirel and Elizabeth Williams were probably never married.
4. Nancy Williams is an Indian and possibly Cherokee.

74. This statement is believable because it is a specific statement rather than a general statement. Thomas Henry
knew the exact relationship and the degree of blood. Assuming that Nancy Williams was a half blood, then her
daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie) would be. quarter blood and Amanda (Maude) would be one eighth blood,
essentially a white person. The 1910 census record for Amanda Riley indicates that she is white. The census taker
had the option to indicate "In" if that had been the case.
