Looking for information on the following Gresham family that lived in the Rose Bud, White Co., AR area from about 1890 to 1930/present:

William Len Gresham, b. 1851 d. 26 March 1944 Faulkner Co., AR; buried Sidon Cemetery; md. 1873 Tallapoosa Co., AL to
Ida Adia Bentley, b. 1857 d. 1897; buried Sidon Cemetery

Children of William and Ada Bentley Gresham:
1. Sallie Elizabeth Gresham, b. 1874; md. Hugh L. Wilkinson
2. E. Gresham (daughter), b. 1877
3. Samuel James Gresham, b. 1879 d. 1913; buried Sidon Cemetery
4. Missie Gresham, b. 1881 d. 1960; md. Luther B. Langford
5. Ada R. Gresham, b. 1885
6. Pinkney J. Gresham "Pinkie", b. 1887 d. 1931; buried Mt. Bethel Cemetery; md. Wiley R. Ferguson
7. Son Gresham (looks like Timothy L. on census), b. 1889
8. Mary Ella Gresham, b. 1891
9. Lonnie Gresham, b. 1896

First 7 children were born in Tallapoosa Co., AL and last 2 born in Rose Bud, White Co., AR.

Ada/Adia Bentley may be the daughter of William W. Bentley and Sarah White of Tallapoosa Co., AL. William And Sarah had a daughter, Ada, born about 1857/8 in Troup Co., GA.

If Adia Gresham is Ada Bentley, then her Aunt, Eliza Bentley, lived in neighboring Cleburne Co., AR and will be related to the Ghents, Pickens (2 families), Saxtons, and Morelands of White Co. and Cleburne Co., AR

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michelle
