McMILLEN* University of Southern Mississippi JLt is one of the ironies of southern history that Hoxie and Little Rock, Arkansas, have become synonyms for white resistance to desegregation in the era of the "Second Reconstruction." In May 1954 when the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the School Segregation Cases, few suspected that in the troubled years ahead Arkansas would provide Deep South intransigents with the battle cry "Remember Little Rock"- a slogan that recalled for some segregationists the invocation of long-dead patriots who re- membered the Alamo. Indeed, Arkansas'spre-eminent stature among the defiant states in the first decade of desegregation is as undeserved as it was unexpected.

  • 1 Known Descendants of This Is Not the Typical AAFA Genealogy. These
    1 Known Descendants of WILLIAM HENRY ALFORD This is not the typical AAFA genealogy. These descendants of Job Alford are from a file created by John A. Rogers, AAFA #0544 who is the AAFA authority on Job Descendants. John has researched these folks to a greater degree that AAFA had researched most other Alfords. John also includes more information in his report than is found in a typical AAFA genealogy. Nevertheless it is a work in progress and probably is not complete and with some error. Generations 5-6 have been removed to protect the privacy of most of the living. The work contains many names but the only ones listed in the index are those listed within the registry system. 1. William Henry Alford #331 b. 1811, Wake County, North Carolina, (son of Job Alford #325 and Sarah Ann Turner? #326) m. Sarah Elizabeth "Betsy" Stilwell #1099, b. 1809, North Carolina, (daughter of Shadrack Stilwell #9156 and _____ Unknown #9157) d. ABT. 1875, Harris County, Georgia, buried: ABT. 1875, Harris County, Georgia. William died ABT. 1867, Georgia, buried: ABT. 1867, Unknown. William Henry Alford was Job's 5th son. He was born in 1811 in Wake County, North Carolina, shortly before the family left for South Carolina and then Georgia. Most people called him "Bill." He came to Jones County, Georgia, as a young child, with his family around 1817. In 1823, as a preteen, he moved with his parents to the Redbone District (555) of Upson County, Georgia, northeast of Thomaston, where he lived until 1828, when the family moved to the Black Ankle District (494), southeast of Thomaston.

Mississippi, daughter of John Madison Alford, said his brothers were George, Julius, and Duke; said their father was named John (but called Jack, as was son John Madison); and said the children were orphaned and parceled out to relatives. [Letters dated 1967 and 1983 from the late Herman Alford AAFA member #68 (grandson of John Madison) who thought the original John had lived near Carrollton in Pickens County, Alabama.] - The eldest brother George Washington Alford died intestate Sept. 19, 1878 in Noxubee Co. Mississippi apparently having never married. His probate (Chancery Case 803) provides the only legal evidence connecting the brothers and reveals sisters Adeline and Frances. A further petition in 1885 (Chancery Case 1160) by John Madison Alford, Julius C. Alford, and Frances Alexander located their brother Julius C. in Hempstead Co. Arkansas. That suit plus CSA pension application 2881 for Julius C. Alford and the widow’s pension application 3771 (both in Winn Parish, Louisiana) assured us that we had the correct Julius C. - Now Y-DNA test results from one descendant of Julius C., one descendant of Marmaduke, and five descendants of John Madison (including 2 generations) confirm our research.

  • HISTORY of the RNCIC Written in the Fall of 1997 by Members of the RNCIC Board of Directors
    HISTORY OF THE RNCIC Written in the Fall of 1997 by members of the RNCIC Board Of Directors. National cemeteries were established by an act of Congress on February 22, 1867 at the urging of President Lincoln. There were three designated in Arkansas: Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Little Rock. Fayetteville’s is the eighth oldest in the United States. During the Civil War the dead were buried on the battlefield. In northwest Arkansas this brings to mind Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove, Rheas Mill, Cane Hill and other skirmishes the area sustained. The first burials in Fayetteville were on land just south of town, owned by J. K. Stone, a public- spirited man who gave permission to use this property in 1862. Over the next five years, many reinterments were done from known battlefields. It is believed this action caused the Federal Government to select the site in 1867. As to the actual 6.07 acres for the original site, Judge David Walker also gave several pieces of land to the cemetery to help increase its size, but the deeds of transfer were in error and were finally straightened out in 1947 to give Walker’s heirs due credit. Originally laid out for 1700 graves, design changes made possible 3,688 more spaces, but no more land was added to the original six acres on Government Avenue. By 1984 it became obvious that more room was needed as veterans from World Wars I and II, Korean veterans, VietNam and Gulf War survivors moved into adjacent four-state areas. So the Regional National Cemetery Improvement Corp.
