INTRODUC'I'ION The years since 1800 have seen an unending stream of humanity--individuals and families--move from eastern states, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky, and arrive at the present area of Clark County. while a great many continued westward, a considerable number lingered long enough for their names to be entered in official county records. Some others put down roots, and their descendants have helped create the Clark County of the present.

The intent of the compilers has been to provide access to the earliest official records which will interest researchers: marriages, divorces, probate, tax and assessment lists, ministerial credentials and registered cattle brands .

It must be stated that this volume would not have taken form without the blessing. encouragement and cooperation of County Clerk Polly Pennington; her staff, Fern Lambert, Bill McCaski11 and Joan Gaither; Circuit Clerk Billy Williams and his staff; and Ann Favand of Gateway Press. In addition, the goodhumored tolerance of J. T. and Tom Wright, Claude, Chris and Brandon Caffee, during this two-year-long project must not go un-noted!

Petitions

Persons who have not lived in Arkansas should be aware of one quirk of pronunciation which has been widely prevalent. Endings of names may be spoken differently from the usual spelling; for example, Bertha becomes Berth..!~, and Etta is called Etter. This practice is evident where the recording clerk spelled as he heard a name pronounced.

F

Introduction.

Recent years nave brought a multitude of researchers retracing the paths of their forebears. It is for these ancestor seekers that this volume has been prepared.

All material included, with few exceptions, has been copied directly from the original records in the Clark County Court House in Arkadelphia. Because of changes in penmanship over the past 180 years, fading ink, yellowing pages, phonetic spelling and human error, some names will undoubtedly have been entered incorrectly. In looking for particular names, the user should consider all possible spellings, with possible confusion of letters such as e-i, £=2, p~, J-I and S-G-L. The complete index will make variations of spelling fairly easy to spot.
