Thanks Dennis.
I have since located a copy of Brightwell's Dewoody Records (in which I see you are heavily cited).
I need to verify my bona fides to the Dewoodys as my Kiomitia Frances Gullick was born to Catherine Dewoody where Brightwell has a Catherine Frances Gullick. If my handwritten family records are correct, Kiomitia also had a brother named Howard or "Bud", where Brightwell has Patrick Henry.
To further complicate matters, I see Kiomitia/Catherine referred to as both Caroline and Karmitia in the census.
I've come to make some sense out of the migration to Hempstead County from Tennessee via Alabama and Poinsette County and have managed to place the Gullicks (see below) in this movement, which given the multiple families involved is quite remarkable given the geneartion it took to make the movement. If you have anything on the whys of this migration I'd love to hear about it as it all seems very arbitrary. Also, if you have anything on the Childs family (see below) and how they may relate, I'd love to hear about it as well.
My current blurbs, the universe of what I know of these folks, on the relevant two generations (Dewoody descendants)in Hempstead County are as follows (by pairs):
Henry Alexander Childs [born on October 22nd, 1850, probably in Hempstead County, Arkansas; passed circa 1923; moved to Van Buren Township, Union County, Arkansas (http://www.city-data.com/township/Van-Buren-Union-AR.html), with his family by the census of August 26th, 1860, shows him in Union County, Arkansas; moved to South Fork Township, Clark County, Arkansas (location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_County,_Arkansas), by the census of June 12th, 1880, when he reported he was a farmer; siblings: Elizabeth (born 1839), A.J.
