Re: looking for any info about Jarvis Family tree
Jerry Jarvis 12/17/04
The only thing I am possitive about was that my gradfather was Goldie Jarvis born 1905 in ark.I have most of the death certificate for him and his siblings.I am now trying to find their birth and marriage records
The records that I have all say the same thing when it comes to parents.Father was named Mack or (Mac) Jarvis and he married a Rebecca or Becky Ellis.Around 1904 in ARK.What my records don't show is Mack's fathers name and they show 3 possable place of birth for his father KY, MO or MISS.They are clear to their mother being born in AR.
I have no proff but my grandmother said that my great-grandfathers name was "Mac Cummings Jarvis" could be McCumings or Mack Cummings and that he was born in England.Since I have the death certificate and the 1920 and 1910 censue records for Mack Jarvis.I think my grandmother was off a generation.
If you look back at the post on this message board you will find a post by "shelby" in Oct 2002.That said that a James Welsey Jarvis and a Nance Rouse where living in Guntown, Miss (near Tupelo) in the 1880.They moved with their children (Mack Cummings, John, Ivy, Mart and Eugene) to the Paw Paw, Indian terroitory in the 1900's.I belive this is the best information that I have at the moment.
I have the information to send for the marriage licence of James and Nancy in Alabama.Which is where my censue info states that Mack's mother was born.So eventhough I don't have proff I think this is were they came from.
Another thing is their is a Mack jarvis age 16, james jarvis age 12, a cordiela A Jarvis age 6, and a Wm. H? Jarvis age 8/12 in the 1860 census of Maumelle township, craighead county, AR they are listed as living with Joel and Sarah Roberts.It may be that Sarah was a widow and remairred or that they adobted the kids after their parents died.It may be that my line was in Ark long before 1900's or that these were relitivies that went to ARK way before and my line joined them there in the 1900's
Untill I can located the birth certificates or more information I am just hunting for Jarvis in OK, MO, ARK, MISS and AL for more conclusive information.
I hope this helps some I am always willing to help anyone I can
