Too many genealogists are stuck in a genealogical rut. Oh, we still research frequently and find new data -- we just never try anything new. It's almost fall now, and most of us will be making a big genealogical push -- to get our research in order before the rush of the holi­ days, and, before the year ends, to fulfill the goals we envisioned for ourselves at the begin­ ning of the year. How do you get out of the rut? Try new techniques! Somewhere in your area, there are classes or seminars or workshops. Find one or more that appeal to you, grab a friend, and sign up. Just the opportunity to rub shoulders with other genealogists will give you new ideas and reinvigorate your research. If you only learn one or two new things from the class, seminar, or workshop, it may be just the thing to solve your problems with those elusive dead ends. Get some correspondence cooking! Remember when you were excited about genealogy and wrote all those letters? Remember the thrill of a full mailbox? Check the Genealogical Helper's annual list of societies and libraries; find one in one of your areas of interest, and write some letters. Do they have any new books for sale? Do they have a researcher card file you can add your name to'? Could they check their materials for information on your lines? Do they have a publication and will they accept queries? Is there anyone locally who is related to or researching your line that you could be put in touch with? Were your folks Baptist? Catholic? Methodist? There are regional and national archives for the various religions. Your local library should have a library directory in which you can search out these types of libraries you never thought to contact before. Were any of your ancestors in the military? Don't look for just Civil War veterans, but also regular military service, and even modern military service, such as World War I and II. Order a copy of your ancestor's draft registration for World War I. Order his VA claim file and his military record. In the last year, I've ordered my father's military record and my grandfather's VA claim file, and both had a great deal of material of interest, even though they were very modern records. Were any of your ancestors civilian employees of the federal government? I ordered my great grandfather'S employment record with the post office. It was full of fascinating data! (Be sure to write "COpy ALL PAPERS" on everything you order.) Anyone who lived past the late 1930's may have applied for a Social Security card. Order a copy of their application and their Social Security claim file. There were people born as early as the 1860's who blabbed everything about their birth and their parents on the appli­ cation for a Social Security card they filled out late in life.Order a free tombstone from the VA for a veteran. It doesn't even have to be your ancestor! Perhaps there are some un­ marked graves in your local cemetery. Investigate. If any were veterans (even Confederate sOldiers), the government is anxious to ship you a free tombstone merely for the asking and a little proof.

Don't know how to do some of these things? Well, it's never too old to learn something new -- find out! Talk to people, call ~overnment agencies, write letters, take a class. Soon your m(lilbox will be filled with goodies and your research will take on new life. You might start by looking over the information in this issue about the AGS Fall Seminar. It's going to be a great one, and you're sure to meet a lot of interesting people too. Join us in Fort Smith and energize your gene,doh'Y! Carolyn Earle Billingsley, President

______Taylor Had Arkansas Kin

From the Arkansas Gazette, July 9, 1991 "To the Editor: The news about President Zachary Taylor is very interesting and informative. I have the genealogy of this man. He was the descendant of King Alfred the Great, King John, King Charlemagne, King Henry II, King Henry III and Edward I. His mother was Sarah Stroth­ er, the sister of General Grandison D. Royston's grandmother, Elizabeth Strother. Elizabeth Strother married Rev. Samuel Watson. Their daughter, Elizabeth Strother Watson married Joshua Royston. Joshua Royston and his wife, Elizabeth Strother Watson, were the parents of General Grandison D. Royston, the president of the Arkansas Constitutional Convention of 1874. Also in Taylor's line were the Thmntons and the Savages. Many people do not realize they have distinguished kin.

Grandison D. Royston, Jr., Hope (Arkansas)." [no address was shown in the newspaper]

Page 118 - Volume 29, Numher 3· SepICmbcr Great Great Grandfather, Benjamin M. "Mem" GRAMLING 1816 - 1894 By John Leroy WILLIAMS, II

During the summer monlhs of 1990 I have heen on one of the most incredible journeys of my life - and yel I have never left home to do it. I wanilO share one of Ihese fascinaling experiences with you. Some months ago, I put what is known as a "query" in a genealogical publication -I don't even remember which Pub it was. A query is a shari statement, in genealogical "shorthand"lerms, inquiring about some family connec­ lion, or listing the names of the family lines one may bc researching. The query thai I sem for publication included the name GRAMLING, which as you may remember, was the maiden name of my (our) great grand mother, Mary E. GRAMLING EUBANKS, mother of grandmother Armina Jane EUBANKS Wilhams. In August I received a letter from a man who had read my query and who was also descended from a GRAMLING family. His name is Harrel Shewmaker, and he lives in Greene Counly Arkansas where many of our old relatives lived and died over the past 150 years. I followed up with a letter and we began 10 exchange and compare data. Soon it became clear that we came from the same family line of GRAMLINGS. Using information thai Mr. Shewmaker (who is about my age) senlto me, and comparing il with what J already had, and doing some more research at the National Archives, I have now extended the GRAMLING line of our family back to Bavaria in the early 1700's, That's something like twelve or fourteen generations into the past. In the process J have definitely established some other things of interest. Here is the story Ihat unfolds from this work which I believe with 95% certainty to be faclual:

Our earliest known (at this time, October 1990) Gramling fore-father was a man named Adam GRAMLING (Gramlyn - Grumlich - Gramick· Krumlich) who came to this country about 1735 and settled near Orangeburg, South CarOlina. Adam married Christiania Gassoway, an immigrant from Germany. They had at least eleven child­ ren. Their second child was Rev. Martin Luther Gramling, a Melhodist Minister (1765-1831). Marlin's first child was a son, Reuben M. Gramling (1791-1865). To Reuben was born a number of children. Three of Reuben's sons, Benjamin, Richard, and Thomas, came to Arkansas ahout 1856 and sculed in and around Lawrence Gounty, what is now Greene County Arkansas. These Ihree Gramling sons arc fore fathers of most (if not all) of the Gramlings born in thai area during Ihe pasl 135 years or so.

One of those Ihree sons of Reuben was Benjamin M. (for Memory or for Martin) GRAMLING, my great great grandfather. He was called "Mem" as I have personally heard from the lips of my grandmother Armina Jane Eu. banks Williams whicb leads me to believe bis middle name was Memory, a promment 'given' name down through the Gramling family line.

One of the youngest sons of Benjamin M. was Benjamin Madison Gramling, a well educated man, a schoolteacher, who has done quite a bil of writing abOUI bis Gramling Family, and who says that his father's given middle name was 'Martin: I must give this statement by his Son mueh weight, but if that is so, why then was he called 'Mem?' Unfortunately, we cannol ask this question of "Uncle Ben' or any of his immediate kin who are all dead. Great great grandfather 'Mem' Gramling was a m()st energetic and unusual pioneering person. He was born near Spartanburg, South Carolina, on October 12, IS 16. He grew up there, and married Mary WILSONon November 17,1838 at the age of 22 years. They had cleven children, the fifth of whom was my great grandmother, Mary E. GRAMLING EUBANKS,horn March 12)848.

Quoting 'Uncle Ben" (Benjamin Madison, son of Benjamin M.) "The family has migrated from South Carolina to many parts of the U.S.; Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and the Dakotas.

"The Arkansas Gramlings for the most part :>TC descendants of Reuben Martin Gramling (1791 - 1865). Three of his sons, Benjamin, Richard, and Thomas, migrated hefore Ihe Civil War to Alahama (Georgia?) afler a difficulty between Benjamin Martin and his falher, Reuhen Martin. After two years, the three sons (and also their siSler, Sally Gramling COTHERN and her children) moved to Arkansas in 1854 and were joined a few years later by their father. "They crossed Ihe Mississippi River al Belmont, Missouri, ncar East Prairie, and then via Charleston and Bloom· field, Missouri, and on through Nigger W()ol Swamp. They crossed the St. Francis River at Chalk Bluff near Pig. gOIl, Arkansas, in whal is now Clay County, then into Llwrencc County where they struck the old Jacksonport

______Arkansas Family Historian - Page 119 Military Road and followed il to Sugar Creek Bollom ...... " where 'Mem' decided to settle. Richard settled his family near Walcott,(now Greene County) Arkansas, and Thomas located nearby.

"Mem' and Mary brought seven children to Arkansas with them, the fifth of which was great gran~mother Mary E. Gramling Eubanks. After seWing in their new home they had four more children. "Mem's" finn wIfe, Mary Wtlson Gramling died on May 26, 1870. 'Mem" then married a second lime 10 Martha Wood on August 21, 1870. They had no children. Martha Wood Gramling, "Mem's" second wife died August 1, 1874. This is a significam date.

'Mem" appa~ently could not.Sland 10 be alone. DeSiring comp~nionship, again he married soon after the. death of his second Wife. This thIrd WIfe was a Widow, Martha Jane RobInson, who had been mamed 10 a "Mr. Pnce", then deceased. Three more children were born to "Mem" and Manha Jane. They were Benjamin Madison (1876 - 1945), David While (1878 1945), and Thomas Wise (1880 - 1882). Now, here is the astonishing part of this slOry for me. For several years I have pored over the possible fate of my great grand parents, EUBANKS. I knew from hearing grandmother, Armina Jane Eubanks Wilfiams, tell stories of her childhood, that she, her younger sister, Susan, and still younger brother, Benjamin Eubanks, had lived with their grandfather hecause their mother and father were dead. I did not remember grandmother discussing the fate of her parents. This was a period about the mid 1870's. What could possibly have happened to take both young parents, I wondered as I continued searching for information. Then came the rest of the story after I began to compare and sift through data supplied by Mr. Shewmaker. The summer of1874 brought a plague of typhoid fever which threatened to wipe out the entire family of great great grandfather "Mem". First of the Gramling family to die "''liS my great grandmother: (1) Mary E. Gramling Euhanks on July 6,1874 at age 26. (2 Allison Gramling, Mem's #11 child, July 12, 1874 at age 14. (3 William O. Gramling, Mem's #4 son, July 20, 1874 at age 29. 4 Ellen, Wife of William 0., July 23, 1874 at age 24. 5 Martha Eubanks, Mary E.'s sister, ] uly 25. 1874 at age 19. 6 Henry Gramling, Mem's #6 Child, Aug 1, 1874 at age 24. 17) Martha Wood Gramling, Mem's 2nd wife, Aug 2,1874 at age 37. Seven memhers of "Mem's" family gone in less than a month! What must this man have been thinking? What could he possibly have done to rise ahove this tragedy and despair when he was 58 years old! He was certainly resilient as well as kind and caring, for he look in thc thrcc young Euhanks grand children; grandmother Armina Jane Eubanks (WILLIAMS) age seven, Susan Eubanks (WILLIAMS), age four, and little brother, Benjamin Eubanks, age three. This typhoid epidemic took all of "Mem's" immediate family still at home, including his wife. Alter taking in the young children of his daughter, Mary Gramling Euhanks, he married again for the third time, as previously stated, to Martha Jane Rollinson Price on Decemher 24,1874. Martha Jane was a widow who had a baby daughter less than a year old when her Price hushand died and whcn she married 'Mem". This baby daughter, Lula Price,] grew up with the Eubanks children. But there was more tragedy in store to try this sturdy "Mcm' Gramling. In April 1876, a son, Benjamin Madison was horn to "Mem' and Martha Jane. Two years later in July of 1878, another son, David White was horn to them. After another two years, a final son, thomas Wise was born in August 1880. All three of these sons, although much younger than the Eubanks children and step daughter, Lula Price, were never-the-less, still uncles to the Eubanks chIldren who were older Ihan their uncles. Things were looking beller for old 'Mem" as he shepherded his new and growing family through the balance of the 1870 decade.

Fate decreed that tragedy should strike again in the summer of 1881 when young grandson, Benjamin Eubanks, now age nine, was out in the field when a sudden Ihundcr storm loomed On the horizon. When it began to shower, Benjamin took sheller under the friendly branches of a huge Oak tree. Lightning flashed across the sky and the thunder peeled through the hayous as Benjamin tried to swy warm and dry. Then came a blinding nash of fire from the heavens, rending that old Oak Ircc, and takingyct anothcr life from 'Mem'.

The following year, 1882. waS to tesl and hurt old "Mem" yet anolher time. In August, his youngest son, Thomas Wise Gramling was IwO years old. The following mOnlh, lillIe Thomas was Jilaying with othcr children on a porch scat when he fell to the floor, striking his head a SCVefC hlow, which resulted in his death the next day, September 15,1882. Benjamin M. "Mem" Gramling was as lough as they come. He was a true pioneer who was willing to risk aU against the hardships and death threatening weslern wilderness. He continued to live oUl his life in the beautiful Crowley's

Can vou now understand why I said that I have been on an incredible journey this past summer. Piecing together this story of the joys and sorrows in the life of my great great grandfather was a privilege. I now feel that fknow grandfather 'Mem' a lillie heller, and knowing him lifts my own life up a lillie higher. Who eould ask for a more remarkable journey? But what about great grandfather EUBANKS? We now know about great grandmother Mary E. GRAMLING EUBANKS, that she died in the typhOid epidemic of 1874 at age 26. Did her husband die in the same plague'! Did he die before or afler Mary's death? If he did not die until after Mary's death, Ihen why did his children go to live with their grandfather 'Mem'? Troubling questions are raised about this man - a man about whom we know sO little.

What facts do we have to try to unravel this punle? From U.S. Census records we know that there arc two EUBANKS families listed in Greene County in 1860 with possible candidates for great grand father Eubanks. The Eubanks families live in adjacent dwellings 250 and 251 which are also adjacent neighbors to 'Mem' Gramling, dwelling number 249. This arrangement of dwellings is significant since two of the Gramling girls married two Eubanks boys, All arc listed on a single page 44, Cache TownShip, Greenc County, Crowley Post Office, enumerated July 20,1860.

Here are the exact listings: NAME AGE SEX Where Born B. M. Gramling 44 M SC Mary 41 F SC Memory e. 21 M SC Ruben 19 M SC William 15 M SC Mary E.' 10 F SC Henry 8 M SC Franklin B. 6 M GA Martha 5 F GA Sarah 3 F GA 'This is the person that I know 10 be my grandmother EUBANKS.

This is an excellent 'snap-shot' of"Mem's' family in July 1860 a few years after coming to Arkansas from South Carolina where he, his wtfe, and 5 of his children were born. But note that the family tradition about his coming by way of Alabama and/or Georgia "where he spent about two years' appears to be born out by the reported births of two of his children in Georgia, while his last child was born in Arkansas. But wait, Gramling family tradition says 'Mem' and his brothers came to Arkansas in 1854, and this Is not support­ ed by this Census record that shows Sarah, age 3, born in Arkansas while Martha, age 5, is born in Georgia. If this information is correct, then 'Mem' must havc arrived in Arkansas more Ihan Ihree years allo (1857) and less than five years ago (1855), My guess is that he, his brothers, and his sister arrived in Arkansas m 1856 - not in 1854 as stated in family lore,

Since the census was enumerated on July 20, 186(J, his birthday was probably between August and December, This Eubanks family was born mostly in Georgia. The births indicate that they came to Arkansas before one year ago(1859)and after three years ago(1857). It would "ppear that this Eubanks family were friends or acquaintances of the Benjamin M. "Mcm" Gramling familywhiJe perhaps living nearby in Georgia. They apparently decided to follow the Gramlings to Arkansas a year afler the Gramlings went there, Perhaps through correspondence the

______.Arkansas Family Historian - Page 121 Gramlings convinced the Eubanks that there were greater opportunities in this new land in Arkansas than in the older settled lands in Georgia.

NAME AGE SEX Where Born James Eubanks 60 M SC Francis 50 F SC Charles F. 19 M GA J. J.' 16 M GA Armina L." 13 F GA "For a time I thought that this might be my great grandfather EUBANKS until I discovered additional information, more about which I will relate later. This Gramling family profile does not tell us as much as we would like to know because the father is older. We do not know how many older children were in the familv that have left by the year 1860. For example, is the A. Eubanks (age 33, above) a son of James and Francis or 1s he possibly a brother of James? Since both James and Francis were born in S.c. it is possible that they knew the Gramlings there, then moved to Georgia where son A. was born 33 years ago. These Eubanks could have bcen the reason, through correspondence, for the three Gramling brothers coming to Georgia from South Carolina before deciding to go on to Arkansas. We know with certainty that James and Francis lived in Georgia for at least 19 years which is the age of Charles F. who was born there. .

Also 10 be noted is the name of James' daughtcr, .. Armina. This is the same name given 10 my grandmother Armina Jane Eubanks Williams. James' daughter's name was undoubtedly the inspiration for naming Grandmother Williams. Armina was nO! a very common given name which lends added weight to my theory about the Eubanks.

My conclusion, until proven otherwise, is that A. Eubanks waS an older brother of Charles F. Eubanks, and son of James, and that both above Eubanks families came to Arkansas together about 1857 or 1858 from Georgia and settled near their former neighbor and friend, "Mcm" Gramling, who they certainly knew in Georgia and probably even knew in South Carolina. No doubt thosc childhood sweethearts, Mary Gramling and John Eubanks were happy to be living near each other again after being separated for a year. If this conjecture is correct, then I have found my great great grandfather, A. Eubanks, and my great great great grandfather, James Eubanks. I shall try to confirm this theory now hy doing more research on records in Georgia and South Carolina. Now to finish the slOry about John Eubanks: In the 1870 MORTALITY SCHEDULES OF ARKANSAS, there is listed a John C. EUIIANKS, age 20, white male, married, born in Georgia, died in Greene County, Arkansas of pneumonia in January 1870. Recognizing that he is listed here as John C. and elsewhere as John G., I still believe this to be one and the same man. The coincidence is too great as all of the other elements arc correct. So this is the reason grandmother Armina Jane Eubllnks WILLIAMS and her sister and brother had to go 10 live with grandfather "Mem" after their mother died in the typhoid epidemic four years later. Mary E, Gramling Eu­ banks had already been a widow for four years when she, herself, was struck down with the dreaded ·FEVER".

Can you imagine a more exciting adventure than bringing 10 life beforeJour very eyes, forefathers as far back in time as several generations removed. You get to know them through har work in research. They almost spring to life and breathe again - even speak 10 you. I have only one regret in rcconslructing this narrative, and thatts that I did not complete it in time to share with my good friend and cousin, Geneva SC01l Wiles, before ber death. Geneva always loved to help and share family lore llnd tradition. I hope you have enjoyed this short reconstruction of a part of your past, and mine. If so, please drop mea line In let me know your reacllon and comments, otherwLse you may nc'Vcr receive one of these diminutive family vigncltcs from me again.

By Desmond Walls Allen

Arkansas Genealogical Society announced a program earlier this year to issue Certificates of Arkansas Ancestry to recognize descendants of Arkansas' early settlers. Certificate categories are; Territorial - a resident of Arkansas before 15 June 1836; Antebellum - a resident of Arkan­ sas before 6 May 1861; and Nineteenth Century - a resident of Arkansas before 31 December 1900. Applicants must first request an application booklet which contains forms and directions for applying for the certificate. The process is much like submitting an application for a lineage ~ociety but the only photocopy of a document required is that piece of evidence proving Arkan­ sas residency. Application booklets are available upon request from the certificate chairman, Desmond Walls Allen, 99 Lawrence Landing Road, Conway, AR 72032. Please include 52~ in stamps for the return postage. The cost of a certificate is $10, payable when the completed applica tion booklet is submitted. The application forms may be photocopied if an applicant wishes to apply on behalf of more than one ancestor. The material received by AGS for the certificate program will eventually be published in some form or made available In a public facility for research purposes. As of mid-July, the following certificates have been issued:

Page 124 - Volume 29, Numher 3 - Septemher ______,Arkansas Resource Directory

By Desmond Walls Allen Arkansas Genealogical Society has a new r.roject of special interest to all researchers inter­ ested in Arkansas. AGS is going to com pIle and publish a directory of books and services related to Arkansas. One obstacle genealogists must overcome when seeking information about a published resource is finding the source from which a book can be published. Books-in-Print is seldom helpful to family history researchers because books in our field tend to be self-published, printed in short runs, and available from a variety of individuals and small firms who cannot afford to saturate the market with expensive advertising. Thus, if you are seeking a volume of marriage records on a particular county, where can you look to find the compiler and source for the book? We'll have the answer for Arkansas when the resource directory is published.

There will be no charge to individu;;ls and societies who wish to have their resources includ­ ed. The directory, a service to members, will be sold for a price just above the cost of pro­ duction. Publication, set for early spring, 1992, will be announced in the Arkansas Family Historian.

We hope all groups, societies and individuals offering books and services about Arkansas will wish to be included. Societies will be encouraged to submit information about member­ ship, publications, and any other services they offer. Individuals with books for sale are inVIted to list those which pertain to Arkansas. (No family histories, please.) Researchers who offer research services about Arkansas are invited to include information about them­ selves. Libraries inside and outside Arkansas with collections of special interest to genealo­ gists will be listed in the directory.

AGS products will have a prominent place in the directory - microfiche, books, Certificates of Arkansas Ancestry and membership will be described. We want to tell the world about Arkansas Genealogical Society and the high level of benefits to our members.

How can you be incl uded? A mailout to Arka nsas societies and libraries is planned for August 1 so the forms should have been received by the time this issue of The Arkansas Family Historian is mailed. Individuals with books for sale and researchers offering services should write AGS, PO Box 908, Hot Springs, AR 71902-0908 for submission forms. The forms contain additional information about the criteria for being included in the directory but basically, anyone, AGS member or not, who has a book for sale about Arkansas reo sources is welcome to be included.

If the directory is successfully received, it will be updated each year and remain in print. We hope this directory will become the one-stop information center for folks interested in Arkansas.

______Arkansas Family Historian - Page 125 Two New AGS Indexes------By Desmond Walls Allen Two new indexes to material published by Arkansas Genealogical Society are available and we want you to know about them. Arkansas Family Historian Consolidated Index 1981-1988

John Sanders of North Little Rock, AGS Board Member, has compiled a surname index to The Arkallsas Family Historiall for the years 1981 - 1988. The purpose of the index is to make research easier for those seeking information in back issues of our quarterly. The price for the index is $12 postpaid. (182 pages, spiral bound) We appreciate John Sanders' work on this tedious task of indexing. In conjunction with publication of this index, Arkansas Genealogical Society has reprinted all the back issues of Tile Arkallsas Family Historial! on microfiche. (Microfiche are 4" X 6" plastic cards with images of pages stored in reduced format. A microfiche reader, available at most libraries, is necessary to view the material or print paper copies from the fiche. On a reader, microfiche produce a negative view of the information, that is the page background is dark and the letters are light.) Consolidated Indexes to AGS Family Group Sheet Series and Ancestor Chart Series

Edsel F. Voyles of Conway, has compiled a surname index to two series of materials pub­ lished by AGS from 1975 throu~h 1983 under the editorial leadership of Elaine Weir Cia. The index is $8.00 postpaid, spIral bound, and contains a pocket to hold the fiche of the family group sheet series and/or ancestor chart series (which may be purchased separately - see fiche pnce list). Sixteen volumes of family group sheets and twenty·six volumes of family group sheets were published in the two series and they contain a great deal of information. The addresses for submitters will, in many cases, be long out of date and many of the sheets have no source citations, but, nevertheless, the information may be just the clue a researcher needs. Each individual volume has a surname index bllt the consolidated index makes the search much faster. After the AGS Board of Directors made the decision to microfilm AGS materials and sell microfiche, the question arose about preserving the ancestor chart series and family group sheet series and it was decided to offer them for sale as inexpensively as possible on fiche. Then Ed Voyles volunteered to compile a consolidated index to the material and we are indebted to him for his labor. These two indexes will make access to AGS materials easier and faster. We hope you will consider purchase of the indexes or recommend them to your local library. A price list for AGS microfiche is included in the back of this issue, or you may write for a fiche price list (SASE please).
