As we expected It to be, the Spring Seminar was a good one. Russell Baker
and Margaret Ross did their usual very fine JObS of teaching and helping us
to refine our sletlls as researchers. Who says we do not have great proressional talent right here at home? Russell distributed relatively new
brochures listing the resources held by the Arkansas History Commission
and available for publ1c use. Margaret especially stressed not giving up
Just because you discover your coooty Is 'bUrned.' There are alternatives,
and good genealogists use them to discover what has been previously
thought to be undiscoverable. We are Indebted to them both.
Strangely, the Sesquicentennial Celebration or Texas has received about as
much attention In Arkansas newspapers as our own celebration has. There
Is nothing wrong with this except It Is mis/eliding. Texas did not become.
a state In 18361 What It did was become Independent from Me1<feoafter
the Batt Ie of San Jacinto (Houston) In 1836. It took nine years and a hotly
contested U.S. presidential election to make Texas a state. Arkansas
collected taxes In the first five Texas counties west and south or the Red
River ror seven years after the Battle of San Jacinto on the grot.Ild that
this area was a part of Miller Coooty, Arkansas. It was /6 Fe/JtWJry /84!
when TeXIIS wasaanltted to the Union. Since the boundary of the Republic
of Texas had always been uncertain, this action led directly to the Mexican
War. Let's keep the history straight.
This year Is especially Important In our own state's history. Our organlzat Ion Is pledged to complete the /890 TIIX Record Substitllte CenStlS. Please
let Russell Baker know at the History CommiSSion If you can help. Write:
Russell Baker, Asst. Director and Archivist, Arkansas History Commission,

Blbl, Records continue to be the number one priority, since there Is
absolutely no substitute for them In the absence of official vital records
In the early years.

Captain Lovell
Assistant Adjutant General, Columbus, ICy.
Sir: I have moved my command, with all the commissary stores and
government property, to the island, except the large guns, which the
steamer Rob Roy cannot move, on account of her decks being insufficient to
hold them. The guns have all been removed to the river bank, ready to be
loaded and brought over as soon as we have any boat for that purpose. If
the general will send down the O'Brien I think we can put them on her
without any difficulty.
A few matters have been brought to my attention in regard to which I
desire some instructions. A number of citizens here who have taken the
oath have asked permission to bring down some small quantities of powder
and shot for fowling purposes; the same in regard to salt and quinine.
They asked to be allowed to purchase. in small quantities only. enough for
their individual use.
There are two prisoners at Mr. Milton Donaldson's. near this place.
who were wounded in the affair with Faulkner's cavalry. They have been
in a very precarious condition, and were too sick to be moved, but now are
recovering. and some disposition will soon have to be made of them.
There are also two men who were taken prisoners when this place
was oocupied--by name Seale. They took the oath, were released, and have
been living here since then. One of them is very ill. not expected to live;
the other is also in very bad health. They reside in Dallas County,
Arkansas, about 150 miles back of Helena, and desire, if pOSSible,
permission to return to their homes beyond our Unes. Can it be granted?
They belong to the Twelfth Arkansas Regiment.

Civil Wer Letter, Re: two men named 'Seale' --po :2
1986 Update
The men in question were Rufus L. and Joseph Newman Seale, sons of
West Allen and Mahala (Reynolds) Seale and brothers of Jasper, Perry and
Newton Seale, of Pine Grove, Dallas County, AR. Rufus was born 02 Dec
1832 in Shelby Co., AL; Newman 22 Jun 1839 in the same place. They are
in their father's home in Shelby Co., AL in the 1850 census. The family
migrated to Dallas Co., AR, presumably about 1860. There are no Seales in
the 1860 Dallas Co., AR census.
Both men were in Company D, 12 Arkansas Infantry, CSA. Both were
reported sick at Columbus, K.Y in 1862. They must have been released,
upon "taking the oath" near Memphis soon after. Whether they were
allowed to return to their homes as a result of this letter is unknown, but
both survived the war and paid taJes in Dallas Co., AR in 1890.
Rufus never married but engaged in farming and land trading in Dallas Co.
until his death, 07 Aug 189-4.
Newman married Sarah Ann ('Sallie') Peterson (07 Nil' 18.50 - 24' Mn1929), daughter of Thomas and Louisa Coffee (Mahan) Peterson, and two
of his brothers married two of her sisters. Newman became the father of a
family of eight children. He was an active citizen of Dallas Co., until 27 May
189-4, When he died.
Both men are buried in Chapel Hill Cemetery, Pine Grove, Dallas County.
Arkansas. They were the greatuncles of my wife, Mary Evelyn Seale.

COMPUTERIZED TYPEWRITER FOR GENEALQGY
Th. first articl. on comput.rs to app.ar in an AGS quarterlY (Jun. 19Se)
dealt briefly with the advantages of using a personal (or home) computer for
;.n.a10;ical purpo.... Just as many p.ople were once reluctant to I.arn to type,
many are now fearful of computers. However, if you already know how to type,
l.arning how to unlock the pot.ntial power of a comput.r is not.o difficult as
it first app.ars.
For .tarter., do not b. intimidat.d by the computing abiliti.. of the
grandchildr.n or the n.ighbor's kid. S.liev. it or not, the younger generation
was not born with some n.ver-b.fore-known talent. They had to LEARN how to us.
the.e machin... So can you.
When I turn on my comput.r it says, "READV."
Actually. the computer is
lying. All computers are worthl ..s without software (also call.d programsl.
Only after loading a program into the computer's memory is the comput.r ready to
do what it was purchased for.
When buying a computer, disk drive(s), and
printer, do not forget to consider the costs of programs.
One of the first and most important programs to be purcha.ed
for
genealogical pIJrpome. should be a word proclII$",cr.
There are dozen. of the.e
commercial programs available. Th. choice of which word proces.ing program to
buy may be more dl.fHcul t than anticipated. In general. the more el'p.nsive the
program, the more pow.r and versatility it will have. Also, consider that the
.xpensive programs may take more time to master.
In my opinion, the word processing programs that come with the thickest, but
easy to under.tand, manuals are be.t.
A good word processor requires NO
knowledge of how to do anything more than turn on the computer. The manual will
provide simple, step-by-step instructions, inclUding e)camples and elcercises for
hands-on eKperience.
It should be mad. clear that word processing Is more than just a
computeri.ed typewriter. With a word processor everything is typed in first,
then the whole thin; i. printed out.
Before printing you can make as many
changes as you want. A letter can be editted without a trace of correction.
A
story can be changed from a rough draft into a final copy with only a few
changes. Any line can b. changed, IIIntire paragraphs can b. moved or erased, and
te~t can be manipulated in numerous
other ways.
Pag.s can be automatically
numbered.
The key ben.fit of using a word processor is that corrections and revisions
are easily made, even if the document was first typed months before. A lOO-pa;e

discover.d, adding it wherever it fits is a simple process.
Because of the
computer's capabilities many hours of tedious retyping are eliminat.d by using a
word processor.

make a few simple changes to an old letter, print it, and send the new version to
a newly discovered r ••earcher, all in a few minut •••
For me, the word processing program alone makes the computer worth the money
I spent. However, there are also many other us.s for the computer that a
genealogist would find helpful. Genealogy is much simpler with the aid of a home
computer. Now 1 would not wish to be without a computer any more than without a
washing machine or lawn mower.
I have my own opinions about which computer system is best. I will gladly
answer questions from anyone who will send a s.lf-addressed, stamped envelope.

DALlAS mUNIY RE.VIEW
by
Roberta fullis
Dal1as County (Arkansas) was fot:med in the fall of 1844 by the State
Legislature and was officially established January 1, 1845. It was taken from
portions of Clark and Bradley Counties and was named in honor of George M.
Dallas, Vice-President of the United States 1845-49.
Dallas County is located in the south-central part of Arkansas.
The first
settlers came into the area in the 1830's and settled the TUlip area, followed
by settlers into the Princeton and fully Springs areas.
The home. of Presley Watts was the temporary seat of justice in Dallas
County, as provided in Section 6 of the Act which created the new county. The
first county officials were named January 27, 1845 and commissioned on February
6, 1845, as fol1ows: Presley Watts, clerk; Peyton S. Bethell, sheriff; John H.
Wat ts, treasurer; John T. Craig coroner; W. R. McCoy, surveyor; William Owens,
presiding judge. Mr. McCoy and Mr. <Mens resigned and elected to replace them
were Hawes H. Coleman, presiding judge, and Joseph Gray, surveyor.
Judge Coleman presided at the first county court which was held in the home
of Watts on June 25, 1845. Mr. Gray laid off the new town which had first been
named Dallaston rut was changed to Princeton in November 1845.
In July 1846 the county court provided for the construction of the first
courthouse and Moses Overton was the low bidder at $344.91. The first
courthouse was a log ruilding located on the east edge of the "public square."
A jail was ruilt in 1848-49.
The first house in Princeton was that of Esquire A. Ramsay who came to
Arkansas from South Carolina in 1842, when the entire country was a wilderness
and nei,.hbors were considered neighbors even though they lived ten to fifteen or
more miles apart.
Squire Ramsay helped to open the road which became known as
the Princeton Pike, which ran between Princeton and Pine Bluff.
Princeton is
situated at the crossing of the highways between Little Rock and Canrlen and
Little Rock and Arkadelphia.
The oldest house still standing at Princeton, and perhaps all Dallas
County, is known as the Woods' house (1976).
A three room residence ruilt in
1842 by Jo Gray with hand dress sed lumber and put together with pegs and square
nails, it was owned by 1845 by Presley Watts. This house was added on to
through the years and by the turn of the century it had 18 rooms and was known
as the Wood's House, serving as a residence as wel1 as hotel. It now (1976) has
16 rooms. Two rear rooms in an 'L' shape were removed.
In IXtober, 1848, a petition was presented to the county court for an
appropriation for the purpose of purchasing a graveyard near to and adiacent to
the town of Princeton.
The court appropriated $10.00.
G.G. Lea, M. Fl. Duffie
and H. M. Dedman were commissioned to bargain for the purchase of the land
located about one-half mile southeast from the town of Princeton. The grave
with the oldest headstone is thet of William J. Suggs, 1821-1849.
55
The first census of the new cOlmty was taken in 1850 and showed the
population to number 6,877 and by 1860,the count was 8,283.
After the war
between the states, the population dropped to a low of 5,707 (1870 census).
Tulip is the oldest settled cOllll1Ul1ity in Dallas CCllmty. The first known
recorded event of Tulip Ridge was that of William Dunbar and his exploring party
who went into the area in 1804. Moses werton was the first pioneer settler who
came about 1828 to ruild his home on what became known as Chapel Ridge.
He was
followed in 1833 by Tyre Brown, a wealthy Tennessee planter who ruilt a home
with planks cut from logs held in a slanting position by two Negros and sawed by
two others with what was called a whip saw.
This house stood until the early
1900's.
Mr. Brown began farming a large plantation in the fertile bottom land.
The area was called Brownsville and the second Post Office in the County was
assigned to Tyre Brown in December, 1845, and he served until April, 1847. Mail
was brought by stage coach each week.
The loveliness and fertility of the lands brought many planters within a
short time.
Some were people of great wealth.
Among the most prominent were
the Smiths from Tennessee and the Carolinas. Col. Maurice Smith, Samuel H.
Smith, William Smith, Samuel W. Smith, Alexander Smith and Richard Smith ruilt
their homes here and the settlement became known (naturally) as Smithville.
Later the name was changed to Tulip, known as the Garden Spot of Arkansas.
Tulip was laid out as a town March 13, 1845 by Joseph Gray. Those present
were: Col.William Bayless, Col. Maurice Smith, T. H. Brown, Peyton S. Bethel and
Dr. William P. Bethel. It was never incorporated as a town, since all who lived
within a radius of fifteen miles insisted that they be considered within the
town!
fust of the families owned large plantations with large, attractive homes,
enhanced by tall oak trees with cedar trees bordering the long walks. Tulip was
renowned for its refined, well-educated, wealthy way of life.
Col. William Bayless ruilt the first store in the town.
Dr. William
Pickney Bethel ruilt the first school house and also started a Sunday School in
1847. There were the usual shops, apothecaries, doctors' offices, lawyers'
offices and livery stables and smithys.
Dr. Lewis D. Cooper was the first
physician in Tulip.
George Doty owned the livery stable and the blacksmith
shop.
L. D. Lipscomb owned a tailor shop and William H. Hunter, James A.
Pat tille, Carpenter Brothers and A. G. and Drury Neville all had shops in the
town. Drs. William Bethell and James A. Cooksey had offices there. James Pryor
was the shoemaker and the huge boarding house was operated by Major Borden.
There were families bearing the names of Eaten, Lea, MeNail, Pryor, Reid,
Wilson, Pattille, Butler, Green, Matlock, Bayless, Thrasher, Grant, Barbee,
Jones, Doty, !iJghes, !iJnter, Cheatham, Boyd, Cooper, Reamey and Bethel.
Tulip was a terminal for the Cl1.idester Stage,
Camden, which ran between Camden and little Rock.
owned by Col.
Cl1.idester of
The residents of Tulip were well educated and considered schools to be of
first importance.
In the early 1840' s a French woman, Madame n'Fstimarille
opened a school for young ladies.
For this reason many wealthy planters from
Louisiana located here for the summer season. This French preceptress proved to
be of poor moral fiber and the cOllll1Ul1ity removed her. A Presbytyerian minister,
56
John Pryor, began a small Female Academy in the mid 1840' s • The young man had
to rely entirely on tutors.
In 1849 George Douglas Alexander, a native of
Campbell County, Virginia, arrived and established the Alexander Institute in
August of that year.
The Institute flourished and the young man returned to
Virginia in 1850 and brought back a young man, Thomas O. Benton, graduate of the
Military Institute at Lexington, to assist him. Later the name was changed and
the Arkansas Military Institute, a first in Arkansas, was chartered by the
Legislature on December 18, 1850. The legislature also charted the Tulip Female
Collegiate Seminary on Dec. 17, 1850. The faculty of the Institute consisted of:
Col. George D. Alexander, Maj. Thos. 0. Benton, Weldon E. Wright, Maj. Benj. J.
Borden. Forty-t\lK) pupils attended this first session of the Institua and those
pupils mentioned ware Angus M. M::Neill, \G. N. Smith, George J. Byrd, James E.
Caldwell, N.D. Flourney,Robert Bethel and William G. Daniel.
Many physicians, Lawyers, statesmen and engineers whose names Later became
wall known received at least part of their education in this school. Because of
the cultural advantages, Tulip became known as the "Athens of Arkansas."
Holly Springs was settled early, also.
The first settlers came into the
area about 1841 when this was still a part of Clark County.
Some of the first
settlers were the Launiuses,
Houses, Keys, Crownovers, Catlings, Heads,
Proctors, Stells, Beards, Henrys ,Petersons , Olambers and Sorrells.
Joe Key
built the first grist mill at Holly Springs and then added a saw mill and a
"Spinning Jinny" that carded the rolls of wool and spun them into threads on
large spools.
He later ruilt a \01001 carding factory and people from a wide
area brought their \lK)ol to Holly Springs to be carded. He also had a tannery
and sold leather for making shoes. During the Civil War, Mr.Key made shoes for
the soldiers.
The Masonic Fraternity has always played a great part in the culture of
Dallas County. Thlip Lodge was established in 1848; St. John's Lodge No. 38 of
Holly Springs was organized April 17, 1850.
The first railroad to touch Dallas County was the St. Louis & Texas (Cotton
Belt) which came in 1882 and crossed the southeast corner from Pine Bluff to
Camden and resulted in the formation of a new town, Fordyce, named for Samuel W.
Fordyce, an official of the Railroad Company. Because of the business progress,
attributed to the railroad, Fordyce was proclaimed the County Seat some time
later.

ROBERT BRavNLEE
We have received the follCMing information from Beth Brownlee, who states
that this is not her Brownlee line, but is interesting for our members since
this Robert Brownlee was the builder and first owner (James was the second) of
the small brick house "within the fence" at the Territorial Capitol - the one
behind the "tavern", and that Robert worked on the capitol of North Carolina and
our own first state capitoL
Thomas and Mary were married in Little Rock.
Accounts are at court house and in local papers. Their first child is buried in
Mount fully Cemetery, an item not listed in their genealogy here. She does have

lot behind Jesse Hinderliter house (the tavern mentioned earlier), nCM a part of
Territorial Restoration.
This brick building is known as the Noland House, and
was probably built by Robert Brownlee.
The tax records show that Robert
Brownlee paid taxes on the property as early as 1843. James Brownlee paid taxes
on same lot in 1846 and 1847.

Helen Brown of Walnut Grove, California.
Robert Brownlee left his home in Scotland when 23 years old; news of the
big fire in New York with many mechanics needed caused him to go there.
He had
a letter of introduction to David Sterling, a stone mason, who put him to
work;here he saved money and four months later went to North Carolina. In 1837
he fOClved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he remained a year; he bought a farm of
360 acres of govt. land at $1.25 per acre. Later he prospected for lead and was
nearly killed in a bla1!t.
While recovering he became acquainted with a Scotch
family, named Lamont, w\:lo were most kind; he used to joke with the younger
daughter and on leaving for California told her he would come back and many her
after he made his fortune (all a joke, as she was hIt 14 years old).
He began
to prepare for the trip to California - John W. Clark of Montpelier, Vermont was
one of his loyal companions. They had'much to do getting wagons, mules, saddle
horses, guns, etc., beside food ready. About sixty wagons joined the party;
the wagons were carefully examined and every person had to show he was in good
health, or he could not go. This was in 1848.
To go back: Robert Brownlee received his naturalization papers in 1839,
and in 1840 cast his first vote for General Harrison and Tyler; in 1892 he
voted for Harrison's grandson for President of U.S.
To continue the California trip:' they went through Oklahoma Territory,by
Pico Mission, at the junction of the road from St. Louis to Santa Fe, through
the pass of the Rocky Mts. in which Gen.Kearny was attacked by Mexicans in 1846;
61
on to Santa Fe, then to Albuquerque where preparations had to be made to cross
the Rio Grande.
Arizona Territory was next to be crossed and Tucson was
reached, the largest town since leaving Santa Fe. The Colorado river was
crossed in July - large logs of cottonwood were cut and lashed together to make
a ferry.
Soon Warner's Ranch was reached, then San Bernardino and on to
San Pedro.
They traveled on up the coast, frequently using wet sand - passed
Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Louis Obispo, springs called Pasa Robles, not far
frOOl San Miguel Missiion (abandoned). They left St. John I s Mission and arrived
at Gilroy then on to San Jose, a small town of five or six adobe houses with two
stores, run by a white man.
He told them of the Mariposa mines so they decided
to go there. After mining for a time, Mr. Brownlee and Mr. Clark started a store
and did well. In 1852 he went home to Scotland to visit his mother and returned
to Arkansas to visit his bl:others, Thomas and James.
Here he met the Lamont
girl again, now eighteen and beautiful.
He courted and won her. They went to
New 'lork, were married and came to California via the IstI-mus of Panama. They
settled in Vallejo, Calif. Mr. Brownlee' s bl:other, Thomas, married Mary Lamont
and they came to California at the same time.
The Union Hotel in Vallejo, owned by Mr. Brownlee was built of corrugated
iron, in sections, brought from England by Captain Myriat, son of the great
novelist, via Cape Horn.
Robert A. Brownlee, the first child born in Vallejo, was born in the Union
Hotel.
later property was bought in Napa County, California, and this same
material, corrugated iron, was part of the barn. The property was surveyed and
bought from the government in 1856 and has remained in the family's possession.
Note:
A detailed account of the trip across the plains in 1848 may be found
with the original paper.
Thomas Brownlee settled in Vallejo, California, then went to the mines in
Virginia City, . Nevada.
He returned to Vallejo and worked in the machine shops
on Mare Island (Governnent Navy 'lard).

B. A. Sanders Letter to Osceola Times
Springdale, Washington Co. ,Ark.
Dec. 29th 1884
Editor Times: Dear Sir,
In order to comply with my promise to my numerous friends in Mississippi
County; it being almost an inp:>ssibility to write them individually, I have
oncluded to drop a short c.ootnunication through your valuable paper; knowing it
to be almost universally read by the good people of myoId County. I doubt that
I shall be able to interest them, or that my cOIIllII.lnication will be considered
worthy of space in your paoer; l:ut if not, you can corrmi.t it [to] the
scrapbasket, and no harm will be done.
We started on our move from Dead Timber, Mississippi Co., Aug. 11th, 1883,
and did not arrive here until about the 25th of O:.tober, owing to illness to my
family.
My wife was taken ill in Stone County, near Mountain View, and I was
compelled to lie over about seven weeks.
She recovered so as to be able to
travel, and we then proceeded to this. place. I have not space or time to give a
full account of our journey, suffice to say that I do think we traveled over the
most mountainous and rocky route through the State.
We traveled through
Poinsett, Jackson, Independence, Stone, Searcy, Perry and Boon, also a part of
Madison and Benton counties; a distance of about 400 miles.
I never had the
least idea that there were so many rocks and hills, brooks and vales in
Arkansas, until my experience in this move, l:ut through the guidance and
blessing of all wise providence we arrived safely at our destination. My family
are all regaining their health, and are all satisfied with the country. We have
located in Springdale, a nice little town on the Frisco railroad, which is a
branch of the St. Louis & San Francisco R.R., running to Van Buren on the
Arkansas river. 'Ibis is a busy and thriving little town, beautifully situated
in a nice level country, ten miles south of Fayetteville, and ten or twelve
miles north of Rogers, in Benton county, in the north-east corner of Washington
county, about twenty-five miles from the Nation line.
'Ibis is the best watered country I have ever seen, it is not so rich as
Mississippi county, but the soil is sufficient to make a good living on.
They
raise no Cotton hare, Wheat, Oats, Corn,Potatoe, Rye and all kinds of Vegetables
grow well here, but it is, and will be more valuable as a fruit growing country
than any other one product, the farmers are turning their attention universally
to fruit growing. We have fine schools here, and people take great interst in
schools and school facilities, and we have a large brick College in this place
sufficient to accomodate about 300 puplis, the Free School is being taught at it
now, with 250 pupils in attendance; this is a place of about 900 or 1,000
inhabitants; and a more sociable, courteous and generous-hearted people I never
saw, plain and unassuning, no aristocracy, the people are not stuck-up and
aristocratic as a great many are there, you cannot tell anything about a man's
financial condition by the clothes he wears; l:ut everyone lNho conducts himself
well, and is considered honorable and honest is respected alike. Several of the
religious Denominations are well represented here, and a majority of the
business men and adult citizens are church members. The Old Baptist, Missionary
Baptist, Presbyterian, ~thodist, Ei>iscopalians, and Cambellites, all have
organized Churches hare, there are three fine O:turches in town, one brick and
two framed.
About twenty-five or thirty l:usiness houses, one large flouring
Mill, one large Wool and Cloth Factory, five Blacksmith Shops, wagon and buggy
shops, etc. , and a Masonic Hall and Ckld Fellow's Hall; also a spendid Brass
65
Band, and upon the ~ole a very desirable place to live.
It is certainly as
healthy a country as there is in the west, and I see no local cause for
sickness. and there is certainly more old gray headed men and women here than
any place that I have ever lived, and the children are almost innumerable, and
speaks very loud for a healthy country.
land is not as high as would be
expected, but is advancing very fast and emigration is pouring in from every
direction; public lands are pretty much all taken up, that are worth anything.
Prices of stock and produce are as follows; Horses froo $30 to $100; Mules $50
to $150; Milch Caws froo $20 to$40; pork froo 3 1/2 to 4 cents; flour good and
best grades $2.75 per hundred; corn 25 cents per bushel; and other things in
proportion. This country is well watered by small creeks that run all the year,
and abound with fine fish; game is scarce here exceptiong squirrels and quails
to, which are plentiful.
I will be pleased
Mississippi county.

Respectfully,

To the Editor of The Gazette.
"Stolen - Near Little Rock, Ark., on the Arkansas river, about forty-eight
or fifty years ago - a girl."
Your correspondent interviewed the aforesaid girl this morning, she now
being a woman who appears to be about 50 years old, and the following statement
was freely made:
~ile playing along the shore of the river with a brother and sister
younger than herself, a little boat came along on which was a showman by the
name of Wright, as she afterwards learned, the principal exhibits being his
wife, who was an armless woman. Mr. Wright, seeing t1i.e children, landed his
boat, came ashore and caught her up, carried her aboard and shoved out.
He
wandered around several years, exhibiting his armless wife, finally, settling in
Harnusville, Brown county, 0., where he died. She thinks her mother's name was
Martha Miller, who had red hair; does not remember her father's first name, but
rananbers he was killed by the Indians a fl?M nights before she was stolen.
His
hair was black.
She does not remember whether they lived above or below Little
Rock, but thinks it not mre than four miles away, and close to the river bank.
She thinks she is about 56 years old, but she has not the appearance of being
over SO.
Please give this place in your paper.
If it should COOle under the
eye of any of the old settlers who remember the circumstance and can give any
information to her relatives, it will be highly appreciated by a poor woman who
has shed many tears over the fact of so far not being able to learn anything of
her family.
Please address. Yours Truly, J.N. Patton.

The following information was extracted from the Arkansas Reports located in the
University of Arkansas Law Library, Little Rock, Arkansas. Only those counties
with missing records were researched.
These volumes are of legal intent,
therefore, most of it involves use of legal terms and discussions of decisions
which are not coomon to the lay person. Only genealogical data was extracted
from this information.
No legal discussions of the cases are included because
theY are lengthy, contain legal terminology and are of little value to the
genealogist.
Often the first names were omitted and sometimes little
information on the case as it was determined in the lower court was included in
the report.

Regarding testimony given in circuit court:·
SEABORN
HILL had purchased a parcel of goods with his own money,
69
and employed
ALEXANDER OI.MSI'EAD to superintend the store, and sell them out, and agreed that
he should have as a compensation for his services and attention to the business
one thitd of the profits. In the goods themselves, OlMS'I'EAD had no interest, he
had advan:::ed no part of the capital, and was not responsible for any losses
which the concern might sustain.
It was also in evidence that OlMS'I'EAD
controlled and managed the business of the store.
It was a general
understanding of the neighborhood that they were partners.
After most of the
goods had been sold, OlMSTEAD voluntarily left the store.
Opinion: There was no joint ownership of the funds.
The defendant merely
acted as clerk or agent. Judgment of the circuit court upheld.

NICKs heirs et al vs REX:'roR
Suit in O1anc.ery O:lurt, Crawford County, 1841, before lion. RICHARD C. S. BR<lolN,
one of the circuit judges.
RELIOR filed his bill in 1828 in which he stated that in December 1828, or early
January, 1829, WILLIAM DlNAIJ.. and PETER A. CARNS, then partners, rented out
WILLIAM KlRSE a log house, standing on the northeast fractional quarter of
section 8 in T.8 N., R 32 W in Crawford.
William KlRSE was living on the land
as an actual settler.
WIlLIAM DlNAL and PETER CARNS took possession of the house and occupied it as a
store-house.
Two instruments of writing: 29 June 1829, and 28 July 1829, KlRSE sold to DlNAL
and CARNS all his rights title, etc. reserving the privilege of taking off the
crop then growing.
1829,DlNAL and CARNS dug a well, cleared part of the land, cultivated turnips,
built and enclosed a house that they occupied up to 1833, the same being public
land of the United States, and as actual settlers and cultivators became
entitled to pre-emption right on the land, under the act of 1830. The tract
contained 136 acres.
21 January 1829, WIlLIAM KlRSE and JOHN NIoo entered into agreement that on or
before 15 May 1829 NICKS should be allowed to locate on the land any donation
cl.a.im under the act of 24 May 1828.
NICKS did not locate previous to 15 May 1829 and subnitted he had no power
locate afterward.
73
to
In lily or Jtme 1829, IDRSE demanded payment from NIa<s, but NICKS refused to pay
because no location had been made due to want of surveys not returned to the
land office.
MJRSE revoked his consent to location. Demanded return of the agreement, NICKS
refused, rut consented to revocation. After the revocation, MJRSE sold to DINAL
and CARNS his rights, etc. to the land for $595. tktober, 1829, they sent an
agent to the land office at Batesville to locate a donation claim.
tktober, 1829,while DINAL and CARNS were actusl settlers on the land, the
exclusive owners of improvements thereon with all rights and titles "against all
the world" except the United States, and when no other person was occupant of
the land, except as tenants of DINAL and CARNS; NICKS located the land, at the
land office in Batesville with a donation claim granted to ANDREW MATHEWS, and
deposited, in his own name, in the General Land Office, the reqUisite
certificate of such location,to enable NIo{S or his heirs to obtain a patent for
the land.
Prior to May 1831, a patent issued to NICKS on the location. The
location was made without consent of DINAL and CARNS.
16 April 1832, ANDREW MAT1.llEWS executed his deed for the land to the heirs of
NICKS. That the location was made by NIO{S with full knowledge that DlNAL and
CARNS were actual settlers, and with the deliberate intention of defrauding
them, and depriving them of the rights vested in them by the act of Congress.
May 1831, DlNAL went to the land office in Batesville and offered land officers
there proof to establish right of pre-emption of DINAL and CARNS to the land
under the act of 1830, which they refused to receive, on the ground that the
land hed been previously located by NIo{S.
Then DlNAL made application for redress at the General Land Office,
from which
instructions were sent directing the land officers at Batesville to take the
proof which both parties should furnish and to foJ:Ward to the General Land
Office.
JOHN NICKS died in the latter part of 831 or early part of 1832 leaving two
minor children, JOHN Q. NICKS and ELIlABEllI P. NICKS, and a widow, SARAH P.
NICKS who later married ROBERI' S. GIBSON.
\men NICKS' location was made, the land had not been offered for sale by the
United States. After proof of pre-emption had been taken, DINAL purchased of
CARNS all his interest,etc., for which CARNS executed a deed to him 10 December
1832 for $500. On 4 February 1837, DlNAL sold and conveyed to ELIAS RECI'OR all
his interest, etc. No person claims any title to the land, except the heirs of
NICKS, GIllSCIi and his wife (SARAH P. NIo{S) and RECI'OR.
The heirs of NICKS insti tuted an action of ejectment against DINAL,
possession under REGroR, for recovery of the land.

Mr. Daniel A.Boone, head of the wholesale wine firm of Daniel A. Boone,
103 West German St., died yesterday afternoon at 5:45 o'clock at his residance,
919 N. Calvert St.
Mr. Boone had been in failing health for two years, his
final illness setting in several weeks ago. Death was due to a general breaking
down of the system.
Mr. Boone was a native of Frederick Co., and was born on June 19, 1831. He
was the son of the late Benedict Boone, his mother having been a Miss Belt. He
was educated in lilly Cross, Worcester, Mass., and later at Georgetown College.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Boone went to Virginia and joined a
cavalry regiment.
He saw gallant service, and later was transferred to the
Q'master-General's Department, with headquarters at Little Rock, Ark.
It was
here thet he met Miss M:!lanie Carroll, the daughter of Hon. David Williamson
Carroll of Little Rock, who was a member of the Maryland family of Carrolls and
who had moved to Arkansas from this state.
Miss Carroll afterward became his
wife.
After the War,Mr. Boone came to Baltimore and, with the late Robert A.
Jamison, founded the firm of Boone & Jamison. At the death of Mr. Jamison, the
name of the firm was changed to Daniel A. Boone & Co. Mr. Boone is survived by
a widow and sevan children--M:!ssrs. William S. Boone, of Little Rock; R. Sanchez
Boone, Charles lDuis Boone,Fdward D. Boone, Mrs Ferdinand C.* Dugan, and Misses
Clara and Ellen Boone.
Mr. Boone was a member of St. Ignatus Catholis Church. He was an active
member of st. Ignatus' Council, Catholic Benevolent Legion, and at one time he
served as Cl1ancellor of the State Council of the Legion. He likewise took great
interest in the Society of St.Paul de Vincent. Mr. Boone belonged to the Society
of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States in Maryland, of which he was at
one time the vice president, and gave much time and effort to promoting the
welfare of the Confederate Home at Pikesville.
Mr. Boone enjoyed an enviable reputation for charitable impulses and was of
a kindly and generous disposition, which won him a host of friends.
