history of Cotton Plant. Ark during and after world war 11

[Nan Tarbox]

I lived in Cotton Plant for three years as a child. I am interested in facts about the town for a book I am writing.

[Love Arkansas History]

What is it you are looking for about Cotton Plant? what kind of facts?
Like did you know: The Battle of Cotton Plant (also known as the Battle of Hill's Plantation or the Battle of Cache River) occurred on July 7, 1862 in Woodruff County, Arkansas, during the American Civil War. The Yankee's won.

My grandfather's parents both were dead before he was 1 year old. The family story says they are "buried in the Cotton Plant Cem. with headstones". I have not found any source to confirm. Names are Clay C. Welch, born abt 1864 in Jackson, Tenn. and Drucilla Coil (aka Coyle), born abt 1871 in Cotton Plant, both died before 1892.
Any advice, other than searching the cemetery grounds?

I would suggest that you get in touch with the person or persons that are in charge of the Cemetery in question. Ask that person about the names you are looking for.......and go from there.

I am curious about your family. I believe our families may be connected. My grandmother told me about her grandmother mother being Nancy Jane South and she was married to Artemus Coil. I have hit dead ends on finding out any info on them. Nancy Jane was reported to have been an American Indian. My grandma says her grandmothers name was either Dorinda or Dorcinda and she married a man named George Thomas Parker. If anyone has any info it would be most appreciated. Thanks Lisa
