Sowell Pursuant to a request by certain brethren and sisters in Hurricane Township, Bradley County, Arkansas, we, the undersigned regularly ordained ministers of the Baptist Church, met on the 20th day of October, 1866, at a house at the above named place, and after a sermon by Elder J.R. Vick, we organized ourselves into a presbytery and after examining the credentials of the following brethren and sisters, viz: P.B. Andrews from Church Hill, Alabama; John C. Wright, Sara E. Wright, Mary A. Wright, Eliza Ann Wright, and Mary A. Ferguson from Cornerville, Arkansas, and Benjamin Davis upon certificate of baptism from Elder J.B. Searcy, and having adjudged them orthodox, they adopting the church covemant and articles of Faith usually adopted by regular Baptist chruches, we proceeded to set them apart as such by solemn prayer to almighty God and we do hereby declare them a regular Baptist Church of Christ, Given under our hands the day and date above written. J.B. Searcy Presbytery --J.R. Vick So reads the explanatory paragraph concerning the organization of Enon Missionary Baptist Church on October 20, 1866. The present church membership of 175 includes six grandchildren of charter members: Irene Wright Hall, Bester Ashcraft, John Wright, Edna Ascraft, Clyde Wright, and Velma Ashcraft Norman. At the centennial service October 23, 1966, there were present five grandchildren, five great grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren of the charter members. Attending the 104th anniversary in 1970 was a five gereation family whose ancestors (John C. Wright and Eliza Ann McElhaney Wright) were charter members. Present for the 105th anniversary were six grandchildren. On display at all observances in the orginal church record book written in Pokeberry juice and with a goose quill pen. The book is in excellent condition and legible in its entirety. Also on display are other church record books, a scrap book of press releases, and other church memorabilia. These highly treasured articles are kept in a lock box at a local bank. A microfilmed copy of all record books is kept by the church clerk. Many people have come to examine these records either in tracing church history or family lineage. The church as ordained one to the minister, Brother Landol Swinney. He was licensed Feb 26, 1969, and ordained March 2, 1971, having been called as pastor by Landmark Missionary Baptist Church at Balch, Arkansas. He preached his first sermon at Enon on Feb. 16, 1969 Records reflect the following pastors who have served the church: J.B. Searcy, J.H. Overton, N.C. Denson, W.C. Harley, R.A. Lee, J.B. Lumbley, W.A. Gunter, W.H. Cash, Eya Rodgers, H.A. Munn, J.H.W. Overton, Clark Sims, Joe Daniels, (?) Joyner, M.W. Wayne, James W. Bridges, Marvin Taylor, A. Calvert, W.K. Wharton, W.A. Winston, W.J. Carter, J.G. Murry, Geo. F. Moody, C.D. Barton, G.L. Richardson, Marshall Bryant, Carl E. Farrar, Havis McBryde, Leo A. Causey, W.K. Williams, A.D. Livingston, Dan Wheeler, L.D. Capell, Travis Hanna, Roy M. Reed, D.D. Madden, Gladney Phillips, C.H. Chavis, Olin Ward, George Raley, Joe Hellums, Billy Mann, David Robinson, James Jones, Howard Wells. The records reflect that two others, J.R. Vick and Soloman Garner were called as pastor, but it is not clear whether either served. The current pastor is Elder Howard Wells. The present church plant of red brick is the fourth one erected by the congregation. The first structure was located on Highway 35. The present building was built in the same location as the third one which was dismantled, with all usable materials being saved to use in construction of the new house of worship. The last service in the old building, August 7, 1956, was a special Thanksgiving service in memory of and in appreciation for those who organized the church and those who through the years earnestly contended for the faith. During construction, services were held in an old dwelling belonging to Bester Ashcraft. Much of the work was done by the church and community and by pastors D.S. Madden and Gladney Phillips. The first service in the new building was held NOvember 24, 1956, but it was not dedicated until October 20, 1957, when the first unit (auditorium and 6 classrooms) was completed and debt free. An educational annex was completed in 1964 adding 4 classrooms, pastor's study, rest rooms, and nursery. A buff brick parsonage was completed in 1967, having been built on a two acre tract of land given by Velma Ashcraft Norman and Edna Ashcraft. There is no record of the original organization of the Sunday School, however, its funds are mentioned in church minutes of July, 1883. It is presumed that the Sunday School was organized at the time of the church organization. The Women's Auxiliary was organized February 22, 1951, with the assistance of the auxiliary of Southside Church, Star City. It has continued an active auxiliary. Enon Missionary Baptist Church is affiliated with Friendship Association, with Arkansas State Association, and with the American Baptist Association. We support our mission programs and the other activities of these associations. In addition, we support local, state, interstate, and foreign missions independently. Believing that a trained and properly dedicated ministry is vital to the perpetuity of our church, a special offering for the Missionary Baptist Seminary is received on every anniversary. The offering of $1,703.00 on the 103rd anniversary was designated to apply on the land purchased for a new building site and expansion of the Missionary Baptist Seminary. On the 105th anniversary, the special offering, $851.03, was designated for operation of the Seminary, as was an offering of $1,520.00, on the 106th anniversary. The Seminary is included in the monthly budget of the church. "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." Ephesians 3:20,21. Note: The above information was taken from a history prepared by Miss Edna Ashcraft. We appreciate her work which enabled us to share this interesting material with our readers. **"Missionary Baptist Searchlight" An all-day service marked the observance of the 112th anniversary of the Enon Missionary Baptist Church, near Pansy, on Sunday, October 22, 1978. A special offering of $1,800.00 was received for Christian education during the day. The church was organized October 20, 1866, one year after the close of the Civil War. Elder J.B. Searcy and Elder J.R. Vick assisted in the organization. The eight charter members were P.B. Andrews, J.C. Wright and wife, Mrs. Eliza Ann McElhaney Wright, Margaret Wright, Sarah E. Wright, Mary A. Wright, Benjamin Davis, and Mary A. Ferguson, Benjamin Davis and P.B. Andrews were the first deacons ofthe church. Elder Havis Cooper, the pastor, delivered the sermon at the morning service. He used Hebrews 10: 19-25 for his text, and his subject was "Why Go To Church?" Elder Cooper's answer included command of the Bible, example of Christ and His desciples, Christ selection of the church as the channel through which He would get glory, the great commission given by Christ to His church, serious results of non-church attendance, and sure commitment from God. In attendance at the services were 13 descendants of John C. Wright and Mrs. Eliza Ann McElhaney Wright, and included four great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren. Bester Ashcraft was the oldest member of the church in attendance and Michael Cooper was the youngest member present. The afternoon service was devoted to snging and reminiscing.

I concentrated on two major conflicts that most Americans are familiar with, the American Revolution and the Civil War. I would now like to turn my focus to three lesser known conflicts and try to give some back ground information and resources for the genealogist, especially those with Arkansas ties. These conflicts include the War of 1812, Indian wars and activities involving eastern tribes during the early nineteenth century and the Mexican War. During the period that I was a member of the history detachment of the Arkansas National Guard, we published two journals that coverd this period. They are: Arkansas Military Journal, Vol. 3 No. 2, Winter 1994 which focused on the Arkansas Militia (1804-1836). Arkansas Military Journal Vol. 3 No. 3, Spring 1995 which focused on the Arkansas Militia (1836-1860). Both of these publications list company rosters as well as a detailed account of the Arkansas Militia during this period of U.S. History. War of 1812: Great Britain was the primary adversary in the War of 1812, which was actually fought during the years of 1812-15. Although a number of causes are usually listed, American national pride and British arrogance may be the real cause. Economic issues are normally included in the list. Land operations were conducted along the Canadian border and along the east coast. There were also a number of battles fought in the south; the most famous was the battle of New Orleans. The newly established American navy also played a role in the war. There was naval involvement on the Great-Lakes, in the Caribbean and in the Atlantic Ocean. **note by submitter* If you have trouble with the following links, contact Nathan Barlow at barlow1@tds.net*** For basic information and background on the War of 1812, check out: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761571913/War_of_1812.html http://www.multied.com/1812 http://members.tripod.com/~war1812 Of course for the genealogist and historian, military records are a primary concern: Where do you find these military records? Go to the NARA main access page or check out their options directly. http://www.archives.gov/index.html http://www.nara.gov/publications/microfilm/military/mil22.txt http://oldhuntsville.com/p581.htm http://www.geocities.com/~etelamaki_home/war1812.html Indian Wars While there have been a number of Indian Wars in American History, for this article we will focus on the period between 1812 and 1840. Most of this activity took place in Alabama and Georgia. Its ultimate outcome was establishing the availability of land for white settlers. It cumulated in what is commonly referred to as the "Trail fo Tears." For more information on the Creek Wars refer to: http://roadsidegeorgia.com/links/american_indians/creek http://users3.ev1.net/~lancehall/main.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cmamcrk4/crkwr1.html If you are interested in the removal of the Creeks through Arkansas refer to: http://anpa.ualr.edu/ A list of Cherokee Removal forts, go to: http://ngeorgia.com/history/cherokeeforts.html For a time line of Indian removal: http://www.cherokeebyblood.com/trailtears.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cmamcrk4/hbtoc.html Mexican War The United States declared war on Mexioc in 1846 and the war raged on for nearly two years. The war ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. For the United States, this added a large amount of land to their boundaries. For more informationcheck out: http::www.dmwv.org/mwvets/vgindex.htm U.S. Government documents, published in 1848, indicated that a little more than 100,000 men served in the armed forces of the United States during the War with Mexico. Of these, approximately 75,000 served in volunteer organizations raised by the following states: Alabama; Arkansas; California; Florida; Georgia; Illinois; Indiana; Iowa (Mormon Battalion); Kentucky; Louisiana; Maryland, and the District of Columbia; Massachusetts; Michigan; Misissippi; Missouri; New Jersey; New York; North Carolina; Pennsylvania; Ohio; South Carolina; Tennesee; Texas; and Virginia. Many of these troops were poorly trained and poorly equipped. "The remainder served in the regular U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, or the Marines. The number of men employed by the Quartermaster's Dept. as teamsters or steamboat hands or the number of women who served as cooks or laundresses is presently unknown. Most volunteers and regulars served in the Infantry. Only in Texas were all the regiments mounted." The following source focuses on South Carolinians in the Mexican War, but gives a good overall view and a number of good hyperlinks. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3837/military/sc_military,mexicanwar.html This source was done by an honest student (who did not receive a good grade for his project) but it gives a quick overall background of the Mexican War and discusses the land grants that soldiers received for their service. Immediately upon discharge, Mexican War veterans were eligible for a federal bounty land warrant, redeemable for 160 acres of land anywhere in the United States. These warrants were also redeemable for $100 in scrip. Not a few veterans were swindled out of their warrants by unscrupulous land speculators who took unfair advantage of return veterans ignorant of the warrant's true worth. Many parted with their warrant for $50 or less. One interesting resource is a diary that dates from the Mexican-American War. It recounts the march of the "Fayett" County Cavalry from Little Rock to Crocket in Houston County, Texas, on August 10 to September 12, 1846. Thomas N. Word apparently maintained the diary, an officer in the cavalry. In addition to daily entries detailing the cavalry's march, it includes a roster of men in the unit, their payment schedules, and an inventoary of their personal arms. In addition, the diary contains song lyrics, several recipes, and instructions for treating a "bone felon." Sections of the diary relating to the cavalry unit and the son lyrics have been transcribed. The diary originally contained a number of clippings of recipes and household formulas. These were removed from the diary by students of a museum conservation methods course taught by Margaret J. Hoffman, conservator of the University or Arkansas's Museum. A list details the recipes and household formulas contained in the clippings can be found at: http:// www.uark.edu/depts/findingaids/mexicanwar.html The U.S. Veterans of War with Mexico site gives the following information. It can be found at: http://www.dmwv.org/mwvets/vgindex.htm Although the majority of Mexican War veterans served in volunteer regiments raised by the several states, those organizations were all mustered into federal service. As a result, both volunteer and regular service records are on file in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., rather than the states, to which veterans had to apply for disability pensions, widow's pensions, orphans pensions, and service pensions. So if you are researching a veteran, you may need go check out one or all of the three available files. Military Service Files are of limited use to genealogists since they rarely contain papers that would be useful in establishing family links. The files usually contain one or more cards stating the name of the soldier, his rank, the identifying letter, number, or name of the military organizations to which he belonged and the date and place where he was ustered into service. The file might also reveal whether he was killed or wounded, died in service, or was discharged for disability or some other reason. Sometimes there is a physical description of the soldier (height, hair color, complexion, and so on) and his place of birth might also be stated. Some soldiers were offered a cash bounty for enlisting. Payment of the bounty may be recorded in the service file as well as payments for clothing, etc. The file's primary importance lies in establishing that the man was indeed a veteran. Of course, this information is vital for any person who wishes to apply for membership in The Descendants of Mexican War Veterans. The National Archives has produced an alphabetical index of Mexican War volunteers on microfilm, as well as microfilm of the regular army enlistments, and Marine Corps and naval enlistments. Bounty land files are another source for the family historian. Veterans of the Mexican War were eligible, upon discharge, to receive a federal bounty land warrant redeemable for 160 acres of land anywhere in the United States. All the veteran had to do was send a request to the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C., along with some proof of service, such as a discharge certificate. Sadley unscrupulous land speculators preyed on young, uneducated veterans who probably did not realize the ture worth of these warrants, purchasing them for as little as $25. Copies of papers in the bounty land file should reveal whether or not the veteran sold his warrant or redeemed it. If the latter, the redeemed warrant may be among the papers in the file. The discharge certificate is also likely to be there. Both documents should be of interest to genealogists since the former will show where the veteran settled after the war and the latter not only gives a physical description of the soldier but also states his age and place of birth, information not always given in the service file. Unfortunately, there is no alphabetical index to these files available to researchers in the form of either microfilm or print. Veterans who were disabled by illness, war wounds or service-connected injuries were eligible for a federal pension of half-pay (for a private this amounted to $3.50 per month) from the day they were discharged. Widows of men who were killed or died in service were also eligible. Children of deceased veterans could apply for an orphan's pension. Service pensions were granted by an act of Congress approved January 29, 1887. Both veterans and widows were eligible for an $8 per month pension. After the turn of the century these were increased to $12, then $20 per month. It appears the majority of recipients applied within the first three years of the pension's availability. Applications were accepted until 1926. Papers found in pension files are probably the most valuable to genealogists in terms of establishing relationships. They might also provide answers to long-held questions. Each applicant not only had to fill out a lengthy application but also had to back up his or her claim with affidavits from witnesses. Date and place of marriage, date and place of death, and former or present places of residence might be among the information these papers provide. At present, there is no one all-encompassing roster of ALL Mexican War soldiers, printed, microfilmed or in any other form. One fo the best sources for Arkansas soldiers can be found by referring to: Allen, Desmond Walls. "Arkansas' Mexican War Soldier" (Conway, Arkansas: Desmond Walls Allen, 1988.)

Buie presented our February program on Meriwe(a)ther Lewis who along with William Clark explored the newly acquired Louisiana Territory of which Arkansas was a part. They began their westward journey in 1803 and returned two years later. Meriwether Lewis was the son of William and Lucy Meriwether Lewis. He was given his mother's maiden name of Meriwether. She was the daughter of Thomas Meriwether. Other Meriwether relatives later made their way to Arkansas to what is now Cleveland County. After the death of Meriwether Lewis' father, his mother remarried to Capt. John Marks. Rufus Buie is descended from this Meriwether-Marks family through his mother, Ruth Marks Buie. Other known Meriwether relatives who were a part of Cleveland County's history were Nicholas Merriwether Taliaferro, b. 1801; d. 1891 and his two daughters, Martha Tabitha Taliaferro Duncan Jewell, b. March 1, 1847, in Wilks County, Georgia and Malinda M. Taliaferro Brewer, b. May 30, 1832; d. October 22, 1878. Nicholas and Melinda are buried in the Jewell/ Taliaferro Cemetery located off Highway 114 in the Rose Hill Community of Cleveland County. Melinda's husband William Tom Brewer, is also buried in this small cemetery as were Rosa Brewer Breathwaite, wife of J.H. Breathwaite, and Jessie Taliaferro Delony, son of Jessie L. and Lucy Brewer Deloney. The next CCHGS meeting is scheduled for March 11, 2004, at 7:00 p.m. at the Sturgis Library of Cleveland County. The program will be a review of the history of the Cleveland County Historical (and Genealogical) Society, its incorporations and purpose, and the By-Laws of the Society. Upcoming projects for the CCHGS include setting up booths at the March 27-28 Pioneer Arts and Crafts Festival and the Juneteenth Festival scheduled for June 19. Both are anuual Rison-Cleveland County Events. A nominating committee has been appointed to present a slate of officers for 2004-2006, as well as replacements for the Board of Directors members whose terms have expired. New officers and board members will be voted on at the April 8 meeting. This meeting will be held in the Bank of Rison Community Room at 7:00 p.m. May is Arkansas Heritage Month. The CCHGS will celebrate our heritage by sponsoring a mini-worshop on how to do genealogical-historical research. Help in writing your family history for publication in our upcoming heritage book will also be available. This worship will be held on Thursday, May 6, 2004, from 6:00-8:30 p.m. at the Sturgis Library of Cleveland County. This workshop will take the palce of our regularly scheduled meeting for May. Annette Rawls, President ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloyd Rawls Submitted by Annette Boyd Rawls Cloyd Rawls, born about 1827 in Georgia, moved his family to * Centreville, Cleveland (then Bradley) County, Arkansas, in 1860, supposedly to work at a sawmill located there. He came to Arkansas from Chickasaw or Clay County, Mississippi, in late 1857 or early 1858 and bought 52 acres of land which was located in what is now Grant County. Cloyd, age 36, is listed on the 1860 Bradley County Census with his wife Louisa Jane (Goolsby), aged 30, and their children: Frances "Fannie", age 11; William, aged 9, George, age 7; Mary "Mollie", age 5; Sarah "Sallie", age 4; and Reubin, age 2. Other children of Cloyd and Louisa were Monroe "Roe" and Robert "Rob", twins born in 1861 and Liza Ann "Tip", born in 1862. *Centreville was located a short distance west of the present day Rowell. Cloyd enlisted for service in the CSA, Civil War, at Centreville, Bradley County, Arkansas, on May 12, 1862. He was in Captain Halliday's Co., 26 Reg., Ark. Inf. Later he was in Morgan's Batt., Ark. Inf., and the 3rd Reg., Trans-Miss. Inf. He received a bounty of $30.-- on August 12, 1862. Sometimes after that he was wounded and returned home where he "died at his residence in Bradley County, on October 27," 1862. His gravesite has not been found. His daughters Mary related the story to her children that she remembered her father coming home from the war -and that she "was afraid of him" because of his appearance. In 1869 Louisa remarried to Jacob W. Andrews and had two more children: Jacob Louisa and John William. Cloyd's parents have not been identified. His father (or uncle) may have been George S. Rawls, who lived near him in Chickasaw County, MIssissippi, near the Natchez Trace. Probate records show that George S. Died in late 1857 or early 1858, which was about the same time that Cloyd moved to Arkansas. The vast majority of RAWLS/RAULS in Cleveland and Bradley Counties are descendants of Cloyd and Louisa. The RAWLS/RAULS/ outline in this issue** shows descendants and their spouses through four generations. However, there are now at least eight generations, some of whom still live in Cleveland County and who actively contribute to the political, educationsal, and socio-economic well-being of the County. **The outline mentioned is not included in this file. You may contact Mrs. Rawls if you are interested in obtaining a copy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEAR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF CLEVELAND COUNTY HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, INC: January begins the year for CCHGS, and if you haven't already paid your membership dues for 2004, now is the time.
