Kinfolks
by Evelyn Flood
My husband's Greenhaw roots go deep and spread widely through
many Newton County and Searcy County, Arkansas families.
George W. Greenhaw, born 5 October 1839 in
Lawrence County, Tennessee, was my husband's
maternal great-great-grandfather.
When starting to write a Kinfolks column, have to gather many family
files as my husband was related to so very many Northern Arkansas
families.
One advantage of having my information written on family group sheets
is that I do not have to use the computer for information.
I can shuffle the family group sheets around while writing these
stories.
I am not collecting names just to have a collection, but really
believe each person has a story of their own.
Will get a better picture when I visit in Newton County again.
The Newton County Historical Society Museum does have many old
photos that you can obtain copies of at the Bradley Museum
Their E-mail address is on my website on main page.
