The first permanent settlements made in the annexed territory were in 1828-29 in what are now the counties of Pope, Johnson, Franklin and Crawford-Crawford embracing them all at that time. I regret that I have only data to give a few of the names of the early settlers of Crawford and Franklin. There were on White Oak the Russells, Gilbreaths, Merideths, Meltons, Huggins, McLaughlins, Lanes and others; the Bourlands followed a few years later. On Mulberry, the Beans, Quesenburys, Russells, Hendersons, Maxeys, Moores, Jesse Miller, Simpsons, Snodgrass, Reeves, Mosses, Williams and others. On Frog [p.489] Bayou the Corders, Larrimores, Smoots. Scotts, McPhails, Prices, Trammells, Howards, Bashams, Orricks, Mooneys, Peters and others. On Lee's Creek the Moores, Peevehouses, Harrells, Howells, Forristers, Dodges, Blacks, Martins, Paynes, Smiths, Mobleys, Swearingens, Shannons, Barkers, Olivers and others. Among the early settlers of Crawford County may also be mentioned David Thompson, John Drennen, John Henry, Edward Cunningham, the Hindes, the Prices, Whitfield Bourne and others<br> <br> "The settlers on the north side of the river were very similar in character to those who had settled on the south side; being, in fact, in some instances the same persons, and in others recruits from Lovely County who had been compelled to abandon that county upon its cession to the Indians." <br> <br> <br> 1829 Crawford Co (? sheriff's census or tax list)<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] 1m 18-45, 1m under 18, 1f 14+<br> Joseph Snodgrass 1m 18-45, 1m under 18, 1f 14+, 1f under 14<br> [wj - submitted by Will Johnson from the research of James Goggins]<br> <br> Joseph Snodgrass Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 5S9W23<br> Joseph Snodgrass Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 5S9W24 295.34 acres<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 5S9W35<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 5S9W35<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 5S9W34<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 5S9W1<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] Little Rock Land Office 12-1-1830 6S9W1 316.8 acres<br> <br> <br> <a name=63></a>1830 Crawford County Census<br> <br> Mark Bean five hh before Isaac Snodgrass<br> Isaac's neighbor Allen Chandler<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|Isaac Snodgrass]] 2 m 0-5, l m 20-30; one f 20-30<br> Robert Bean 3 hh after Isaac Snodgrass [wj - Isaac's son was named Robert Bean Snodgrass]<br> Isaac's neighbor Thomas Moore, Jr.<br> <br> Polly 2 m 0-5, 1 m 30-40; one f 0-5, and 2 f 20-30 ....]<br> [1830 Census extracts submitted by Will Johnson from the research of James Goggins]<br> [wj see forward <a href="ar.html#64">Franklin Co AR 1840</a>]<br> <br> 1839 Assessor's Book<br> Mary Snodgrass<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|I Snodgrass]] [wj - Isaac]<br> <br> [vss - Apr 1999 - copied from the Bureau of Land Management Federal land <br> records at ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/crawford/land/crawford.txt ]<br> <br> Last Name F Name Sec Twp Range Acres Date<br> <br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|SNODGRASS ISAAC]] 12 10N 29W 80 1843/03/10<br> [[Isaac Snodgrass (d. 1850)|SNODGRASS ISAAC]] 12 10N 29W 40 1843/03/10<br> [vss - ?

Batchlear died; claimant married Henry Jones, who died; claimant married soldier 10 Jan 1894; lived together, no divorce.<br> <br> Letter, 22 Oct 1919<br> The Commissioner of Pensions<br> Washington, D.C.<br> Sir:<br> Herewith are returned all papers in the above described case which was referred for special examination to determine the number of former marriages of soldier and dissolution of same, whether claimant has remarried since his death, and to determine if possible the organization in which her second husband Jones rendered service The claimant and her witnesses are of good repute and impressed me as being truthful.<br> The testimony herewith is deemed sufficient to show non-remarriage of claimant. I also secured the testimony of soldier's sister Mary Bowen, who testified that he had but one prior marriage. She is the only living full sister. There is no living brother.<br> There is a younger half sister, Kate Trusty, wife of Charles Trusty, who runs a restaurant in Joplin, MO, and half brother Fred Snodgrass, p.o. probably Goodman, MO. The only one of soldier's children by the first wife whose address was definitely known is John T. (Tom) Snodgrass, p.o. Pawhuska, Okla. (2 years ago). Maggie, wife of the son William, (B.J.16) lives in Little Rock.<br> As to claimant's second husband Jones, she stated that she drew a pension as his widow, receiving but one payment of $330.55 the amount due her from date of filing claim to date of her remarriage to Mr. Snodgrass.<br> While she could furnish no data to identify Mr. Jones service, nor the number of her pension certificate, yet it would seem that her case can be easily identified by the alphabetical cards in the Record Div.<br> It is therefore recommended that a search be made on the card indexes for the claim of Nancy O. Jones, wid. Henry Clay Jones, Mov. Cav.(?)] Her p.o. then was Alma, Crawford Co., AR.<br> If further testimony is desired to show soldier's prior marital history the witnesses named in paragraph 5 may be seen, especially Maggie Snodgrass (B.J.16), Little Rock, AR.<br> Respectfully submitted<br> G. M. Milburn<br> Special Examiner<br> <br>
