William Richard Hare/Rebecca Newton Arkansas SC
I'm seeking information on ancestors of William Richard Hare. It is believed that he was born around 1858-1860 in northern Arkansas. He Married Rebecca Newton also from Arkansas. William and Rebecca had seven children,Henry Russell Hare(My Grandfather),b. Jan 1 1897 in Yellville Arkansas d Dec. 1968 in Keota Haskell County OK,Oscar,William, Millie,Mattie,Florence,And Minnie. Rebecca "Newton" Hare died around 1901. William Richard Hare and the children then moved west to Siloam Springs Arkansas,then on to the Cherokee Nation at Stidam OK. north of Eufaula OK. He then moved with his family back to Arkansas in the Martinville area north of Conway, where he lived until his death in 1939. His son William lived in Harlingen TX. for many years. Rebecca Newton had a nephew Robert Newton who taught English at a college in Searcy Arkansas. It is believed that both the Hare and Newton families came to Arkansas from the area of Cherokee County South Carolina and that the Hare and Newton families have Native American Cherokee Ancestors. Are any of you folks familiar with this branch of the Hare family?
