George Washington Macomb of Arkansas

John Macom born c. 1770 married Annah Woodward on October 25, 1791 in Rutherford County N. Carolina.I can find no trace of him before then, but he possibly arrived in the states from N. Ireland or Scotland after the 1790 census.He still lived in N. Carolina in 1800.
By 1830 he and his son Abner, born c. 1794, had migrated to Hickman County, Kentucky.Abner had married Margaret Long, but at this time he was married to Elizabeth Vaughn.
Abner shows up in Pope County, Arkansas in 1840 with his family.In the census of 1850 there are three families of Macom’s - Abner, Levi, and William.Levi married Emily C. Wood of Georgia and they had at least three children – Martha J., Mary E., and John C.Abner was a farmer, but in 1860 he was listed as a blacksmith and at some point between 1850 and 1860 he was a JP and performed several weddings.
My dad, Garvin Duane, and grandfather, Garvin Brown, did this research in 1990.
We are from Levi's side of the family.
