Dr. William R. Rooks in Arkansas
Does anyone have any information on a Dr. William R. Rooks who was in Ouachita Co., Arkansas in 1860s and 1870s?Wife's name was Mary Jane.I found a marriage record of a Wm. Rooks and Mary Jane Richardson in Gibson, TN in 1853.Could this be the same one?I am not related to the Rooks family, but am researching the area where he had a large plantation during the Civil War.I have found records where he sold his property about 1878.
