to view a .pdf file of the Index for Vol. 1
The consuming passion of Tom Martinet's retirement years was the compilation of all the cemetery inscriptions in Lonoke County - and he accomplished it with the help of his friend, David Vernon Brannon! There are five volumes in the set and they contain over 2,300 pages and represent over 37,000 burials. That's a lot of dead folks. Are some of them your cousins? We've posted .pdf files of the indexes to all five volumes. If you're interested in African American heritage, skip right to volume 5.
We didn't re-key any of Tom's information; it's presented just as he did it. Tom ran into computer problems and his computer gave up the ghost about the time he did so we're working from printed pages because we don't have access to his database. The books have a few warts: the print isn't ideal and the pagination (one long string through the five-volume set) has some hairballs. But it's great stuff. If you're serious about Lonoke County and want all five volumes, we're offering the set on one CD. See the entry below, past volume five. The cemeteries included in volume 1 are: Austin, Bargar Family, Bass Family (abandoned), Butlerville (2 new & old), Camp Nelson CSA, Cochran Family (abandoned), Confederate CSA, Dunkard Brethren, Evans Family, Greenwood Baptist, Harper (abandoned), Hebron, Hutson Pioneer (abandoned), Lost, Magness Chapel, Monk, Mt. Carmel, Mt. Springs, Mt. Tabor, Old Austin, Plantation, Red Oak (abandoned), Rock Hill, Salem, Short, Shurley, & Sixteenth Section. Lonoke County, Arkansas, Cemetery Inscriptions, Volume 2 By Tom C.

Arkansas Land Patents: Lonoke and Prairie Counties
What are land patents? All of what is now Arkansas was once owned by the federal government--it is a public domain land state. People who purchased land from the federal government received documents called land patents. Land was obtained through purchase, military warrants, homesteads, scrip acts and other laws that allowed the land to be transferred out of federal hands. The paperwork generated in those sales can be very helpful to genealogists. Copies of the land patents make interesting additions to published family histories but the land entry case files are most apt to have helpful details about families or clues that help piece together information from other sources. What information is included? The county volumes of land patents list patentee's name, volume and page of the patent book, land office, document and miscellaneous document numbers, type of transaction, precise legal description, and number of acres. Introductory information describes in great detail how to get copies of the patents and land entry case files, how to use other land record sources, how to integrate the information with other sources, what is found in a typical homestead case file, where and when the Arkansas land offices operated, and a selected bibliography. County maps are also included. The time period covered by this information is earliest settlement through 30 June 1908. Information from 156,784 patent documents is included. These county volumes are based on current-day county boundaries. Arkansas Confederate Pension Applications from Jackson, Lonoke, Prairie, White and Woodruff Counties
