Glad to see so much interest on the website. I, too, look
forward to every
post - I read them all whether they pertain to my family or
not. My
fathers family, the SPAULDINGS, were some of the earliest
settlers and
landowners in Jennings County coming there in 1822 or 1823 from
Kentucky. I
believe some still live there. My direct line
married into the BLAND and
STILLINGER families. My grandfather went to Kansas and married
ESTELLE
KELSEY in Jewell County, KS. They later moved back to Jennings
Co.
(Grayford) for a few years before finally settling in
Arkansas. If there is
anything I can do to help add information to the website, let me know
what
to do. Not being close to Jennings County, I would have to have
good
instructions on what needs to be done and what can be done from a
distance.
I do have the Jennings County History book. It would probably
have to be
cleared with the Historical Society before any of it is put on line,
don't
you think? Keep me informed.

Hi Traci,
"What would I like to see happening on the Jennings County
GenWeb site??" Thank You for asking. (I want to
help!!)
Just to name a few things I personally would like to see online on
this
site :
1) The 1850 Census records that were once on this site,
back online and
expanded. Plus, the 1840, 1860, 1870 Census records. (Big order I know
)
2) The earlier - "Jennings County History" Book,
online.
3) Cemetery Records - that have been documented and
are available at
the JCLibrary.
4) Early Tax Records
5) Early School and Church Records
6) First Settlers Info, etc., - Biographies
7) Researched - Jennings County Family
Histories
8) Early Letters of Interest to Jennings County.
9) Any historic documents and information that list the
"surnames" of the
people who lived in Jennings County, in the early days of the county.
10) Civil War Enlistments for Jennings Co.
I know Volenteers are needed to do the typing, etc., to get such
data
online. Just let us Jennings County researchers know how to get ahold of
the
data, at what cost and the easiest proceedure / format used to
get the info
online.
Once a decision is made by the coordinator(s) - as to what should be
put
on the site, I am ready and willing to do what is asked of me, to help
in
the effort.
Are there any copies of the early "Jennings County History"
books
available for purchase?? Cost?
Sincerely,
Judy Mills Boie jboie(a)paulbunyan.net
