Query: Is there anyone who has access to a 1900 Census for Baxter County? Are there any NAPIER surnames listed in this Census? The 1910 Census may also
list the Napier surname. Sometime between 1900 and 1917, the Napier family, parents and
family of William "Dewey" Napier, moved to Williamson County, IL. William D.
Napier, as listed in the "Williamson County in the World War" from Hurst, IL,
was born in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and was 19 when he enlisted in 1917. From this, he
was born about 1898 or 1899.

I have been researching the Shehorn family. My grandmother
Mary Stratton's mother was Winnie Shehorn, born in 15 July
1887 in Baxter Co. She married a F.M. Landcaster on 23 Nov
1902. She had a baby boy that died and Mr. Landcaster or Longston
died suddenly in some sort of accident. She, then pregnant, married my great-grandfather,
Steve Stratton, in May of 1905. My grandmother was born on 8 July 1905. Winnie, I was
told, died suddenly after coming home from the store in Hutcheson, Kansas. Grandma said
she collapsed with blood coming from her ears, nose, mouth. She doesn't remember the date.
If anyone can help me regarding the Shehorns I would really appreciate it. I was also told
by grandma that she had a brother named Walter who had a wife Alice that died making lye
soap. All she remembers about Winnie's mom is that they called her grandma Sinor. I have found a Marion and a John who I believe were her
siblings. Thanks so much Dianna E-Mail address DLD3462@aol.com

Family legend also says that Albert was part Indian. Nothing is known of Albert's mother. I have found a James Borders that owned land in BAXTER COUNTY, Arkansas in the 1890s. Maybe James did not die? Or maybe this James is an uncle, brother, etc. Please let me know if you can help.

I am trying to find out about my family during the Civil War years. My great-great grandfather -- Littleton Baker homesteaded land at Big Flat in 1855. He had at least two sons -- William Layfayette Baker and James Moses Baker that served in the Civil War. They were in the 3rd Arkansas calvary Union from 1864 on, but rumor has it that they served in the Confederate army before that. I would like to know about their service in the Confederate army -- what battles they fought in -- where they served and so on. One of Littleton's daughters married a Lawrence and they had 4 sons in the War also. I am new to genealogy and don't know where to start. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I am in need of a death date for James so I can secure a death certificate. I do not know his mother's name or his father's place of birth. James and Celia were buried in Baxter County.
