Madewells in Pope County, Arkansas
I am researching a criminal case involving S.M. (or Sam) Madewell and a James Midwell who was charged with forgery in the Fall of 1886.Both these individuals had married slightly earlier in the year---S. M. to Mrs. A. J. Hicks and James W. to Miss Viola Bell Hill---in Pope County.It appears they may have been in Yell County and could have moved to the Indian Nation.I have hopes sorting out these names might clarify my great grandmother's ancestry.Martha Midwell married William Philips in Pope in 1874.She died in 188, leaving my grandmother, Francis Eva Phllips, who married P. L. Lon Johnson in Pope County and moved to Indian Territory (Gans in Sequoyah County)
I would appreciate any information or suggestions for research. I have some info to share.
