Wadleys of Boone County, AR
In the mid to late 1800s in Boone County, AR were Wadley siblings Narcissus, wife of Eli Graham; Nancy J., wife of Gideon Milam; Millie Ann, wife of Harvey Lacewell; Willis L., husband of Mary Patton; and brother F M., who was thrice-married. (Nancy J. Wadley Milam may have later married James Olston?) An Arkansas history by Goodspeed identifies these and other Wadley siblings as children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Turveville) Wadley. Was Goodspeed really correct? Or was Elizabeth instead a second wife, a step-mother to some of the Wadley children? Is there documentation or tradition among descendants of these families to support such a theory?.
