Daniel and Rufus were born in Tennessee, but all the younger children were born in Georgia. Catherine Howell apparently died sometime during the 1850's. By 1860 Andrew and his children were biving in St. Francis Township in Greene County. The 1850 census record for Lumpkin County, Georgia indicates that the occupation of Andrew Howell was that of "miner". The record also shows that mining was the occupation of many other residents of th area The reader is referred to the Phillip Howell sketch in Volume II of this book it will be noted that Phillip Howell also lived in Lumpkin County, Georgiain 1850 and that his occupation was that of mining. Both Phillip and Andrew Howell came to Greene County during the 1850's and settled in St. Francis Township. For these reasons, it is speculated that Andrew may have been the oldest son of Phillip Howell. HUFFMAN George Huffman was born in Indiana in 1837. His wife, Martha, was born in the same state in 1840. In 1880 this family was living in Greene County, Indiana and their children were: William,1862; Mary, 1864; Clara,1867; Rhoda,1870; Winfred,1871; Alonzo,1877; and Ollie,1878. In 1900 the Huffman family was living in Cache Township of Greene CountY, Arkansas. Evidently Martha Huffman had died by this time. As of 1900 George had no wife. His step-children, Effie, Bertha, and Franklin Steel, were living with him. These children were born in Indiana in 1887,1889, and 1891 respectively. Alonzo Huffman was still living with his father in 1900. HYDE The reader is referred to the Hyde sketch in Volume l of this book. Since that sketch was written, some new information regarding this family has been discovered. As indicated in the original sketch this family lived in Alabama for a brief period. It is now known that they were residents of Cherokee County, Alabama when the 1850 census was taken. The 1850 census for this county (family number 571) shows James and Sarah along with their children Charles,1845; and C;reenbury,1847. Other members of the James and Sarah Hyde household in 1850 were: Martha Higgins,1790; Rebecca Higgins,1833; Mary Higgins,1835; Washington Higgins,1839; and David Higgins,1831. Also present were: Louisa Doyle,1820; and Lovey Doyle,1847. All the members of the James and Sarah Hyde household were born in South Carolina. In 1850 another Hyde family was living next to the James and Sarah Hyde family in Cherokee County, Alabama. This was the family of Isaiah and HesterA Hyde, born in South Carolina in 1798 and 1799 respectively. Charles Hyde, born in south Carolina in 1842, was living with Isaiah and Hester at this time. It should be noted that, in 1860, the James and Sarah Hyde family were living very near Isaiah and Hester A. Hyde in St. Francis Township in Greene County. This appears to be further evidence that Isaiah and Hester may have been the parents of James M. Hyde. In 1850 the family of Thomas and Nancy Hyde, born in South Carolina in 1824 and 1827 respectively, was also living in Cherokee County, Alabama However Thomas and Nancy were not close neighbors of James and Sarah Hyde and the relationship between the two families, if any, is not known. The children of Thomas and Nancy in 1850 were: Jane,1846; James,1848; and Elizabeth,1850. Jane and James were born in Georgia, but Elizabeth was born in Alabama. Since the original Hyde sketch was writtin in 1978, still another bit of information regarding this family has been uncovered. West of the Pine Knott Church and Cemetery, in a remote wooded area on the property of George A. Woods, there is located a relatively small burying ground know as the "Old Pine Knott Cemetery". Rev James M. and Sarah Hyde are buried at this cemetery. The marker for James shows dates of Nov 11, 1822 and May 23, 1882. The marker for Sarah bears dates of aug 20, 1822 and July 19, 1905. An iron fence surrounds the graves of this couple. Charles F. Hyde and his wife Elizabeth, are also buried here. The marker for Charles shows dates of Dec 9, 1845 and June ?, 1908. Elizabeth's marker bears a birth date of Dec 1, 1845, but the date of death is not readable. Serveral markers for infants and small children bearing the name of Hyde are also at this cemetery. KELLEY John Kelley was born in Tennessee in 1847. His wife, Sarah, was born in the same state in 1851. In 1880 this family was living in Graves County, Kentucky in or near the town of Mayfield. Their children at this time were: William, 1875; and Rufus M., 1877. John's father, John W. Kelley, was also a member of the household. John W. Kelley was born in North Carolina in 1802. By 1900 John and Sarah Kelley had moved to Greene County and settled in Spring Grove Township. By this time one more child, Elvis E. had been added to the household. Elvis E. was born in Kentucky in 1889. KENT Thomas Kent was born in South Carolina in 1809. His wife, Mary A. was born in the same state in 1812. In 1850 this family was living in Washington County, Illinois and their children were: David J., 1836; William H., 1839; Abner, 1843; Eliza J., 1846; and Martha, 1848. David J. was born in Tennessee, but all the other children were born in Illinois. By 1860 the Kent family had moved to Greene County and settled in Union Township. By this latter date two more children had been added to the household: Ellen, 1853; and Ruth, 1857. KING I James P. King was born in North Carolina in 1811. His wife, Sarah, was born in the same state in the same year. In 1850 this family was living in Henry County, Tennessee and their children at home were: William, 1832; Newton, 1834; Sarah F., 1840; James M., 1842; Rebecca E., 1845; and Thomas J., 1848. Eliza S. King, born in 1843, was also a member of the household. Sarah F. King, daughter of James, married George W. Gibson (see GIBSON, Vol. 11). In 1916 Sarah and George were living at 621 North Third in Paragould. Sarah died in 1921 and her obituary appeared in the Dec. 21, 1921 issue of the Paragould Soliphone. This obituary indicated that Sarah was born near Paris, Tennessee and that she and her husband moved to Paragould in about 1890. Her son, James M. Gibson, was living in Fort Worth, Texas at the time of her death. She was also survived by a brother, Newton King, and a sister, Ella Adams, both of Paris, Tennessee. George W. and Sarah King Gibson are buried at the Linwood Cemetery in Paragould. KING II The reader is referred to the King sketch in Volume I of this book As indicated in the original sketch, the King family once lived in North Carolina. The R. (Reubin) King family may be found in the 1850 census record for North Carolina by referring to microfilm page ninety-eight and family number788 for Rockingham County. KNIGHT John W. Knight was born in Georgia in about 1820. His wife, Nancy K., was born in Tennessee in 1821. In 1850 this family was living in Giles County, Tennessee and their children were: William, 1844; Martha Ann, 1845; Mary, 1846; John C., 1848; and Rosanna, 1850. Robert Eliot, born in Tennessee in 1829, was also a member of the household. The census record indicates that both John W. Knight and Robert Eliot followed the blacksmith trade. In 1850 Kindred C. and Rebecca Knight were living very near the John W. Knight family in Giles County, Tennessee. Kindred and Rebecca were born in Virginia in 1785 and 1795 respectively. It is believed that they may have been the parents of John W. Knight. By 1860 John W. and Nancy K. Knight had moved to Greene County and settled in St Francis Township By this latter date three more children had been added to the household: Candis, 1851; Louisa N., 1854; and Louis B., 1857. Candis and Louisa were born in Alabama, but Louis was born in Tennessee. In 1860 Kindred C. Knight was living next to John W. Knight in St. Francis Township in Greene County. Rebecca had apparently died during the 1850's and Kindred was the only member of his household at this time. KNOX I Andrew J. Knox was born in Tennessee in 1826. His wife, Tabitha G., was born in the same state in 1833. Andrew J. Knox and Tabitha G. Brevard were married in Obion County, Tennessee on Oct.15, 1852.

Misses Jennie (Virginia), Nola, and Tabitha Knox lived at the same address. Tabitha was Secretary-Treasurer of the Paragould Cooperative Creamery. Alfred was a member of the firm of Ford, Kitchens, and Knox and President of the Paragould Building and Loan Association. J. C. Ford and T. B. Kitchens were the partners of Alfred Knox in a general insurance firm. This company was located at 110 West Emerson. Andrew J. Knox died in 1921 and his obituary appeared in the Feb.14, 1921 issue of the Paragould Soliphone. The obituary indicated that he had come to Greene County from Obion County, Tennessee in 1888. He had lost a leg in an accident and had operated a drug and book store in Paragould. Emma Knox married Edward D. Woodburn. Edward was President of the Paragould Cooperative Creamery and, as of 1916, the couple made their home with the Knox family at 417 West Main.

Edward I. Davis Woodburn and his wife, Emma Knox Woodburn, are also buried at Linwood. Edward's marker shows dates of 1873 and 1947. Emma's marker bears dates of 1870 and 1949. One daughter of Andrew I Knox was still living in Obion County, Tennessee at the time of her father's death. She was Mrs. Mollie (Mary Polly) Rice. KNOX II R A. Knox was born in Tennessee in 1811.

Ladyman apparently died during the 1850's. By 1860 Mary Ladyman was the head of her own household in Chalk Bluff Township in Greene County, Arkansas. Sarah, Casia, Caroll, and Hardy were members of the household at this time. Joshua Ladyman, son of B. Ladyman, married a woman named Elizabeth, born in Tennessee in 1830.

All these children were born in Arkansas. In 1850 two other Ladyman families were living next to the B. Ladyman family in Weakley County, Tennessee. One of these families was that of G. L. and Caroline (Carline) Ladyman, born in Tennessee and South Carolina in 1827 and 1830 respectively. There were no children in their household. By 1860 G. L. and Caroline were living near Mary Ladyman in Chalk Bluff Township in Greene County.
