March 1962

INTRODUCING OURSELVES The Washington County Historical Society, during the past eleven years, has devoted much 'oi; .its time and effort to family history. Under the direction of our 'sticcessive chairmen for genealogy - Allan"S, Humphreys, Jobelle Holcombe and Bernice Karnes -- we have accumulated a considerable file of genealogical material. ' OUr origd.nal purpose was to secure pedigree ch8.rts for Washington County pioneers. Over 250 families are n~ represented in our bound files. We have published 13 of these in our. Booklet Series (Walker, Greathouse, Sherman, Edmiston, . Buchanan, Pyeatt, Carnahan, Kimbrough, Garvin, Latta, Billingsley, Alexander, TUt:.tle-Gunningham). Many others have been published in our quarterly FLAsHBACK. Also;we:'have ,published the ,Washington County, marriage recordS complete ftom 1845 to 1865, probate records, early church records, cemetery list,S,' army rosters. ,

:

The increasing interest in family history is rEiflected in demands madl30n us by outsiders, chiefly from neighboring st'ates but also from a distance. For example, we now have research into',eigpt .families under way, for correspondents who live in California. ,ManY"of' our queries pertain to names in other Arkansas counties, particularly Benton Crawford, Independence, Pulask1, and, Hempstead. We are no longer able to carryon ·this genealogica1:'activity. The Washington County Historical Society is therefore .. sponsoring a statewide Arkansas GenealogiceJ. Society, which can supply paid or volunteer researchers: in· all sections of the' state, can· publish an Arkansas genealogical journal, and can cooperate with other state and regional groups interested in family history. . ,

It is our, plan to have a meeting of interested persons in Fayetteville .. ·.on May 4-5 when the Arkansas Historical Association will hold its annual ine'eti'ng here. The organization of an Arkansas Genealogical Society will be e,ftected at that time, by the adoption of a constitution and election of officers. Since a publication of some kind is necessary for genealogical work, the Washington County Historical Soc~ety is sponsoring this first number of tbe:Arkansas· FamilY HistoriS.n. The name may be changed i f desired. Frequency of issue and number .of pages will depend on the support we receive: .." .

To get the movement under way, our Society sent a form letter to 50 or 60 persons, pointing out the need for a state-wide genealogical organization. The Arkansas Gazette backed us up, with an enthusiastic editorial. As a result of these two publications, we have received 52 letters approving a state-wide society devoted to family history. Forty-one of these sent $2 for the first year's dues. For the record, here are the names.

Have just finished reading Flashbaok. Knowledge of my 'husband's family history leads me t9believe that, the Jones Weems who, sold Archibald Yell the 80-acre tract' for Waxhaws was the elder brother of his g-g-grandfather. At any rate, Jones Weems in our family was born in North Carolina'in 1792, probably moved to Tennessee with his brothers in 1816, died in 1880 and is buried at Macedonia, Mo. Just a cursory iqvestigation reveals so many pioneers in our combined families, I 'despair of ever getting enough time to fit the pieces in the genealogical puzzle together. . ,. -- Mrs: C;Y •.

T HE TRAMMElS ,by Bernelle Whillock, R.# 8, Fayetteville (Editor's note: Mrs.Whillock is a descendant of t"-O early I'/ashington County families. She is the g-g-granddaughter of Jarred Trainmel who came to Arkansas from Missouri about 1835. She is the g-g-g-granddaughter or Solomon Tuttle, who arrived in Washington County about 1830 and ~:;generally credited with starting the early educational acti vities ''-~' Cephas Washburn's Far West Seminary an:! Robert Mecklin' s Ozark Institute -- three miles northwest of Fayetteville. ' (Mrs.Whillock has collected a large amount of genealogical material, of which we are publishing only the original Trammel family and some of the Wilson mat erial that shows her line of descent.) -- AGS --

TRAMMEL Jarred Trammel, the founder of the Arkansas line, was born in Missouri. The name of his wife is not known. The original land entries in Washington County, Ark., show the following land entries for Jarred Trammel: Apr. 12~ 1837; Feb. 7, 1839; Aug. 21, 1856; Sept.. 16, 1857. These eIi,ries tot,a1 320 acres and are all in Township 16, Range 29. But two Trammels 'entered land before Jarred Trammel did. They were undoubtedly kinsmen,' for their entries too are in Township 16, Range 29. These ent ries are as follows: 1836, March 25 - Andrew Jackson Tramme1'~'40 acres' 1836, June 30 -- Andrew Jackson Trammelj40acre,s 1836,: Ap~il 23 - Phillip Trammel, 80 acres' ' , 1836, July 11 - Phillip Trammel, 80'acres 1838, Nov. 2 - - Phillip Trammel, 80 acres 1838, Dec. 8 - - Phillip Trammel, 80'acres The marriage records of lolashington County (Book A) contain the following Trammel inarriages: Sept.. 14, '1848 -- DanielT. Boone, b. 24 tept.. 1826, to Annaliza Trammel, b. 21 April, 1832, "married with consent. af her p:l. rent s" , by Robert McCamey, J.P. March 1, 1849 -- "George Singleton Trammel, age 22' on '22 of April, 1848, to Elizilbeth Tuttle, between the age of 12 and 15 years old, and I married her by the harty verbal consent of herparrence being present, all of Rtc;hland Township, State of Arkansas. Certified by me March 3, 1849. R9l?ert McCamey." " (No~e: Robert McCamey, who performed the above two marriages, was the 'first County Judge of Wash" ingt ort 'Count y • ) , Feb. 28, 1860 .:;- Henry T. T rammel' to Celia Enyard, by consent. of her parents. G. T. Ford, Minister of Gosp. Besides the land and marriage records,there are other records in the Washington County courthouse that furnish information.· 'For example, in the Washington County Probate Court record for Oct. ',b,,1841, there is this entry: ' "Martha Anderson (Wilson-\~itherspoon) Trammel' whose husband, James Strain Witherspoon" had died and she had intermarried with John Joshua Trammel,' came seeking her dower • • • '• • • ' John Coldwell appointed administrator of estate and in interest of children etc."
