NEW CQVEJL P~GE DESIGNED FOR~ THE ARKANSAS FAMILY HISTORIAN

This issue of The Arkansa.l! Family Hist.orian is the first issue of Volume IV. The new volume brings also a new cover page. designed by the editor's husband, Guy ·W. Murphy. Not an artist, but an "idea man", Guy turned his idea over to a commercial artist who prepared the drawing for him. The suggested cover page was presented to the Board of Directors at the October meeting and received their approval. Guy's interpretation of the new cover page is a.s follows: The primary theme i.s that of The Family and Togetherness. There are three generations depicted: Grandmother, Mother a.nd Father, and the children. Grand­ father usually preceeds Grandmother in death, hence the picture of Grandfather on the wall. The blank faces are indicative of the mystery inherent in genealogy and family research -- seeking the unknown.

THE TURNER FAMILY ARKANSAS BRANCH by Mrs. G. E. Amon

This is an outline of the descendants of Robert W. Turner. Substantiating data was obtained from the 1850 Dallas Co., Ark, and 18,b0, 1870, 1880 Calhoun Co. census schedules, and court records at Calhoun Co., Ark. In the case of 014 data concerning war service was obtained from the Federal Archives, Washington, D. C. "0" indicates the unknown ancestor. "1" indicates the first Turner of record. Each additional digit indicates another generation. No two descendants will have the same number. Quite a number of the fourth generation is still living. There are approximately 150 known living descendants at this time. Efforts are continuing to compile names and dates of additional members as well as verification of other details. I am also compiling data on,the Hill, Harris and Daniel families of Arkansas since about 1840. I am most anxious to find others who will exchange data on these families.

Mrs. G. E. Arnon (014212) 6105 Samuel Street L a Mesa, California 92042 THE BROADWAY ANDERSON PENIX FAMILIES

by ROY PENIX

With some reluctance I respond to the request of the Craighead County Historical Society and at.tempt to write a brief sketch of the Broadway, Anderson, and Penix families, to whom I am related by blood, marriage and descent. None of the mem­ bers of these three families or their descendants has ever performed any service of nationwide historical significance. Most of them have been blessed or cursed with the tarnish of mediocrity. None has been convicted of committing a felonious crime. None claim to be a descendant of Pocahontas or any other famous or i.nfarn·­ ous American Indian. One of my aunts married one of the early doctors of Jonesboro who thought he had Indian ancestry, but was never able to prove it. My mother claimed there was a tradition in the family that she was a descendant of one of the Pilgrims who carne over on the Mayflower.

The only justification for writing this sketch is that the torch bearers of these three families, namely Yancey Broadwa.y, my wife's grandfather, James Campbell Anderson and William R. Penix, my grandfathers, ca.me early to what is now Craig­ head County some years before the outbreak of the Civil War, and they and their descendants intermarried and married the descendants of many other pioneer fami­ lies, some of whom I will attempt to mention.

So far as my search of the records reveal, the forebearers of a.ll these three families first appeared on the American scene in what is now the state of Virginia in the Colonial days, in the persons of Isaac Anderson, my gr-gr-grandfather, who moved to Bedford Co., Tenn., with his wife, Elizabeth Hunter of Maryland, ca 1800, and William and Samuel Broadwa.y and John Penix. The latter three were soldiers of the American Revolutionary War from Prince Edward Co., Va., and later moved into North and South Carolina.

Yancey Broadway, the first of these three early pioneers to corne to what is now Craighead County, was born in North Carolina and moved with his parents as a boy to Lincoln Co., Tenn., where he met and married Elizabeth Hodges. They settled in 1841 in what was for many years known as the Broadway settlement, about four or five miles west of Jonesboro. They were the parents of eleven children, eight of whom lived to adulthood and left many descenda..-nts, some of whom were promi­ nent in the early history of the county.

Yancey Broadway served as one of the early County and Probate Judges of Craig­ head County. Early members of the Broadway family spelled their surname in dif­ ferent ways, such as Bradway, Broadaway and Broadway. The surname Penix was spelled in different ways such as Penick, Pinnock, Pennock, Pinnix, derived from the ancient Breton "Penneck" meaning "principal head". Both the Broadway and Penix families are of English descent. The Penix family in America derived its origin from Welsh antecedents and traces its ancestry to the time of the Nonnan conquest of England.

From Colonial days to the pre sent in every generation common Christian names for the Broadway men have been William and Jes se, and for Penix men, William and John. My gr-grandfather, William Penix, had as sons William R. and John Penix, and there have been a William R. and a John in each successive five generationso 12

Typical of the intermarriages of these families are: James Broadway, brother of Yancey, married my grandmother, Rebecca Ann Penix, after the death of my grandfather, William R. Penix; William Walter Broadway, the father of Ralph and Eagle Broadway of Jonesboro, married my cousin Della Penix; my father's cousin, Henry Cole, married my aunt Sallie Anderson, making their children both myfirst cousins and third cousins; and I married Billie Broadway, granddaughter of Yancey.

A. C. (Cal) Broadway, grandson of Yancey Broadway and probably his most famous descendant, carne to Jonesboro in the year 1884 and became associated with his uncle, Anderson R. Broadway, my wife's father, in the mercantile business. After two years he was elected Marshall of Jonesboro, later became deputy sheriff under W. T. Lane, and was elected sheriff in 1892, in which capacity he served for several years.

Anderson Broadway, youngest child of Yancey, was one of the early merchants of Jonesboro. For a time he operated a business at Lake City and for many years was a partner of Joe Dixon in the Dixon-Broadway Harness Shop during the days when it was a very active business.

James Campbell Anderson, my grandfather, was born in Bedford Co., Tenn. in 1824, the son of Richard Anderson and Peggy Campbell and the grandson of Isaac Anderson. He and his wife Susan Nance corne to what is now Craighead Co. about 1858 and settled on 400 acres of land within which the town of Bono nOW lies. They were the parents of five daughters and three sons: Margaret, who m, J. T. Edgar; Elizabeth, who m. J. F. Little; Mary, who m. Dr. C. B. Hunton; Sallie, who m. Henry Cole; Susan Ellen, who m. William R. Penix (my parents); John R., who m. Mary Ann Lane; William Thomas and James Mack, who died before marriage.

My grandfather, William R. Penix, and his wife Rebecca Ann Matthews, carne to what is now Craighead County in 1857 and settled on 320 acres of land about five miles north of Jonesboro. He was the son of William Penix, who moved from S. C. to Cherokee Co. Ala., where my grandfather was born in 1819. He is listed in the 1850 census of Cherokee Co. with his first wife Isabella and two children John and Sarah; his brother-in-law, Henry M. Cole and his wife Eleanor; his brother John Penix and wife Sarah and their nine children, including James Penix, who moved to Craighead Co. and settled a few miles north of Jonesboro sometime prior to the Civil War. The same families are listed in the 1860 census of Craighead County.

My grandfather, William R.Penix, was a smJ.ggler during the Civil War, trans­ porti.ng cotton and other products to Memphis, bringing back food and clothing. He died in 1865, when my father was four years of age. My grandmother Penix, a sis­ ter of my grandfather's first wife, died when my father was 16, and he was left at that age, with little education, to fend for himself. He farmed by the light of the moon at night, and attended school in the daytime when there was any school to at­ tend, among ethers at the school conducted by George Hopkins, an early educator at old Gainesville.

My father, born in 1861, was the third William of the Penix clan. He became a country school teacher, an early Jonesboro merchant, and for many years a farmer, saw mill operator and merchant, and engaged in raising livestock near Bono. He sent his own and other children to college and was able to retire at age 58 without governmental assistance and lived his remaining 23 years watching the town and the county of his youth grow and prosper. 13

T.HE CLEAVERS IN AR KANSAS by William A. Owens

The Cleaver family can with certaintybe traced back to Stephen Cleaver, amem­ ber of the Missouri Constitutional Convention. He was probably a son of William Gle.aver, who took up a grant of land in Jefferson Co., Ky., in 1779. The place and date of Stephen Cleaver's birth are not known to this writer; nothing is known of his wife. There is information on two of his children: William, born in 1792, and Henry, born in 1805, both in Kentucky. Stephen Cleaver was reportedly a fine surveyor and marksman, and an associate of Daniel Boone. He reportedly engaged in Indian fighting and was present at both St. Clair's defeat and Mad Anthony Wayne's victory. After 1805 he migrated to Missouri and settled in Ralls County near HannibaL He represented Pike County in the Convention in 1820. He died in 1838 and was buried six miles south of New London, Mo.

William Cleaver, son of Stephen, appears to have been a Private in the army during the War of 1812. He migrated from Missouri to Alabama and then to Arkansas. The Arkansas cenus for 1850 shows that he was living in Ouachita Co. At that time he was married to Lucy Co., who was 37 years old a.nd a native of North Carolina.. Their children in 1850 were William H., 15; James N., 10; John F., 8, all born in Alabama; and Joshua W., 2, born in Arkansas. In 1858 Henry Cleaver was named executor of the estate of William Cleaver.

Henry Cleaver, son of Stephen, migrated from Missouri to Alabama in 1826 and settled at Greenville, Lowndes Co., where he married Nancy Ann Coleman, daugh­ ter of Frank Coleman. In 1844 he migrated to Ouachita Co., Ark. The census for 1850 shows that his wife was Christiana, who was 45 and a native of North Carolina. At the time he had five children at home: Martha C., 19; Missouri A., 14; Henry G., 12; Allen W., 11, all born in Alabama; and Abner M., born in Arkansas. An older daughter,Mary Rebecca, was probably married in 1850. Henry Cleaver built a· house seven miles west of Camden and acquired title to 1500 acres of land. In 1864 he went to Waco, Texas. He died there and was buried in Cobbs Cemetery which is now in downtown Waco .

. William H., son of William Cleaver, was born in 1835 in Lowndes Co., Ala. He married Virginia Bragg of Camden, Arkansas, the daughter of R. n. Bragg. She was born in 1837 in Ala.bama. The Cleaver and Bragg families apparently migrated together from Ala.bama to Arkansas. William H. joined the Confederate Army and was ambushed and killed by a band of Mexicans on the Mexican border. His widow lived in the old Bragg house, which is still standing west of Camden, until her death.

M.ary Rebecca, daughter of Henry Cleaver, marri.ed a Harrington. The second daughter, Martha Charlotte, married a Young. This writer has no other information on either. 14

Missouri Ann, daughter of Henry Cleaver, married Jesse Herndon James. The 1860 census for Ouachita County shows that he was 31 and a native of Tennessee. Their children were Charles W., 1854; Martha Alice, 1856; Ellen Victoria, 1858; Lawrence Cleaver, 1859. According to family tradition, Jesse Herndon James died of typhoid while serving in the Confederate Army. Missouri Ann married a man named McGehee and moved to Lamar Co., Texas, where she died in 1906.

Henry Clay Cleaver, born while Stephen Cleaver was visiting Henry Cleaver in Alabama, was named for Henry Clay. He moved with his family to Camden, Arkan­ sas in 1844. In 1857 he entered a college at Fayetteville, Arkansas. In 1859 he began the study of law at Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tennessee. In 1860 he was licensed to practice law and opened an office in Camden. He joined the Confed­ erate Army on May 15, 1861. He was wounded March 5, 1863, in the battle of Thompson Station, north of Columbia, Tennessee. He surrendered to Col. Gaggard of the United States Cavalry in May, 1865. Later that year he visited Texas.

Henry Clay Cleaver married Nannie J. Wiggins on April 29, 1866. In 1887 he moved from Camden to Cherokee Co., Texas. He died November 12, 1900, and is buried at Myrtle Springs Church, two miles north of Ponta, Texas.

Allen Womack Cleaver, son of Henry Cleaver, served with Company C, Eleventh Arkansas Infantry, "The Camden Knights", during the Civil War. He was captured and later escaped. After the War he migrated to Groesbeck, Texas, where he died April 16, 1918.

Abner Mitchell Cleaver, son of Henry Cleaver, lived in Camden. He died while visiting at Groesbeck, Texas, and was buried there.

ARNOLD - BRYANT

My grandfather Joseph Richard Arnold reportedly removed from Scott Co., Ark. to what is now Bosque Co., Texas, ca 1852. He first married Mary Polk who was reportedly from Benton Co., Ark., but the 1840 census fails to show any Polks in that county. Their oldest child was James Buchanan Arnold, b. Scott Co., 1845. His brothers and sisters were: William Polk, Joseph Marion, Frank B., Jefferson Davis, Martha, Melvina and Amanda.
