The STEPHENS/ CALDWELL/ PITTMAN/ TRUAX and ELKIN families were in Pennsylvania and the Ohio River Valley. Benjamin Stephens was born 1735, in England. He came to New Jersey and was in the Revolutionary War. He married Rebecca Caldwell in New Jersey. The Elkin family was from Mullinatomagh, County Tyrone, Ireland. In the 1820-30 time period descendants of these familied came to Arkansas, where many remain today.My SHANNON family is from South Carolina. In 1841, Samuel SHANNON was born the son of Robert and Nancy CRAWFORD Shannon in SC, possibly Edgefield CO. 1860 census shows the family moving to Villa Rica, GA. Samuel's siblings were: Ona, Frank P.,James, Richard and Sara. Samuel served in 19th GA during the Civil War, married Sallie KNIGHT and later he and his brother Frank moved to Arkansas.
I am researching the KIDD and McCAMY/McKamey families of Blount Co, TN. It is believed that Robert Kidd was the son of Lewis /Louis Kidd who was the son of a William.Families later connected to the Kidd family in Arkansas are: Charles SUGGS, GANTER and FISHER of Missouri.
HUNTERs and MADDOX of Old North State (NC) who migrated to Tn in early 1800's. This family came to Arkansasbefore statehood. I am especially interested in Isaac and Elijah Hunter. Other folks connected to this family are: SHANNON, HUIE, BRADFORD, VAIL, and HARRINGTON. (Cornelius Maddox was born 1660 and was married to Mary SMALLWOOD.)
Various families that intermingle with the above are: DUNCAN- Nathan Rufus b. 1874; GOODEN-Coleman b. circa 1850; FRENCH- Samuel b. circa 1733; HALBROOK- William b. circa 1744 married Judith McGHEE in TN; HOLLOWAY -Andrew b. 1833; SEYMOUR- Herbert; CULBERHOUSE- Moses b. 1808 b.
