I found W.J. on the 1920 Census in Searcy County, listed as Jesse. His wife is in the Arkansas Death index having died on January 7, 1916. The James that is listed in our Cemetery index died in a explosiion working on the railraod on the line from Boone County to Carroll County. Have you gotten a copy of his death certificate in Oklahoma, or his obituary. You can some times contact the funeral home and get a copy of hid funeral record.

Re: Bridges

W. J. marr. Sarah Love in 1895and they lived in St. Joe, Ar.
Don't know if he was marr. before that. On Census in Ar. That i have. One has him as Wilson and i have him as Woodroe Jefferson and they called him Jesse. It seems like some one he was William Jefferson. I know he live in St. Joe, my dad and his brothers and sisters were born there. I guess, what i can't figure out is all the names. I found a
W J. and a sister Mary E. in Taney co. Mo. Father James, i was woundering if that could be them, but can't connect them.

John Wagley, Carroll County 1860 Census

2006-07-10 06:00:04Z

My ggg grandfather was John Wagley from NC. I have seen references to his passing abt. 1866 in Ark., a John Wagley with a family, but none I recognize is on Crooked Creek census 1860, but also on 1860 Red River County census has his wife and children without him.
Surely a charter member of the Baptist church would not be a bigamist?!
Is there a will, a marriage, someway to clear this up for me and others???

His sons, Billie and Teddy were born in Oklahoma.

This is what I found so far, ran into other spellings, and looks like they moved around some so they are hard to track. I will look for more info and let you know what I find.

Perhaps the folks at the Harrison Heritage Museum could provide you with the exact directions to the old Carrollton area along Hwy 412, in the valley of Long Creek.

This Carroll Co. Cemetery map on the Carroll County website, Carrollton is marked in the lower right corner, along Hwy 412:

Carrollton is south of Alpena, which straddles the county lines of Carroll and Boone counties. The Yell Masonic Lodge, located off of hwys 412/68 in Carrollton, is listed on the National Register of Historic places in Arkansas, ( www.arkansaspreservation.org).

There are several ways to travel to Carrollton, one option would be from Harrison, Arkansas. Harrison is located in Boone County, which was carved from Carroll County.

The town of Harrison has a neat heritage history museum, ( www.bchrs.org ). On their website, enter "Carrollton" in the the Search box for more info. about the community.

The town of Berryville also has a neat heritage history museum, ( www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~arcchs ).

His mother was born in Missouri. His sons, Billie and Teddy were born in Oklahoma. Any information whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, as I have been stuck on this name for over a year!

Jasper's name caught my attention bec. my great grandfather was Thomas Newton "Newt" Jackson, born Dec. 4, 1854 in Carroll Co, Tn and died May 20, 1915 in McLemoresville, Carroll Co, Tn. His father was William Hinton Jackson, born 1829 in NC. married in Carroll Co, Tn. I am not sure of his death date. He was a Methodist Minister. Wm. H. married Mary Evaline Letsinger, b. Jan. 20, 1831. I know Wm. H.'s dad was also Wm. Jackson, b. 1802 or 1803 in NC. and his wife, Elizabeth (?). Does any of this sound familiar?

I wanted to ascertain where exactly one turns off Hwy. 68/412 to get to the old town? Thanks, but none of the links you offered gave exact directions either. They all say "south of Alpena" or "off Hwy 68", etc. Is there a marked road that you take? How do you get to the Masonic Lodge? Thanks.
