ezFamilyHistory Basic Organization

The Basic Web Site is organized into three primary sections - -

(A.) The Family Group Sections displays family members in a linear format by: generation order and relationship. Each Family Group usually includes the parents, children and grandchildren (3 generations) of a particular family line that includes the ancestors and descendants.

(B.) The Family Notes and Photo Section may include biographical information in narrative form as well as various types of notes of interest, explanations, questions, comments or specific request of information from the public. The photo section may also contain photographs (images) of people and places, scanned images of various types of family records or documents, or information dealing with various types of documents or records.

(C.) The Personal Information Record displays vital basic data or information for each individual family member including primary information for their parents, spouse and children. Also in this section is information dealing with family life such as education, occupation, church affiliation, military duty, etc. (Under Development)

ezFamilyHistory Purpose

This work is meant to give an historical glimpse of several families that came together in Scott County, Arkansas during the later part of the 19th century. These early families were on the most part brave, hard working, Christian people searching for a place to better their livelihood. It appears that most of these people migrated to this area primarily from several southern states including Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky and of course many other places as well. A surprising number were European from Italy, Germany, Ireland and England that apparently came to this region to work in the coal mines. Then in the 20th Century, especially during the Depression of the 1930's, the children and grandchildren of those early settlers of Bates, Cauthron, Hon, Gibson, Weeks and other little towns or communties that existed in the western edge of Scott County began their migration westward and scattered to the four winds. Today in the beginning of the 21st Century only a very few members of those pioneer families, just like those little towns or settlements, remain in Scott County.

A primary aim of this undertaking is to assemble the names, dates, places and various other types or kinds of information that is related, relevant and serves as a focus point in the development of this project and that may be of interest to the descendants of all the families involved. The families that this project started with are the Bethels, Cooks, Harrells, McCords, Nelsons, and Pages that lived in the area in the late 1800's and in the early 1900's. Those related families and/or family members as traced are the more direct ancestors or descendants of the fore-named families at this time.

Other families are being added and expanded as information, photographs (images), and documentation is submitted by family members. The intention is to try and add all those family lines that lived in Bates, Cauthron, Hon, Gibson, Weeks and other little towns or communties since the 1800's and early 1900's that we can get sufficient and accurate information for. We will try to work with the families to help in gathering certain vital information but it is mainly the responsibility of the submitting family to provide us with their family information.
