Current GOAL: This Travel Bug has a very specific mission: to trace the steps of my ancestors back through time!
The first objective of this TB will be to travel to Izard County, Arkansas. ZIP 72556 is in the county center. Once it reaches the county please take LOTS of pictures! Once it's traveled around there for a while I'll post a new objective!
**The rest of this entry is optional reading**
My 2G grandparents Nathan & Mary Felton moved to Izard County during the early 1900s. Their son Edward met and married Ethel Jones, daughter of Ephraim & Mary Jones. The Jones family had been in Izard County for three generations. My 3G grandparents Asa & Margaret Jones moved to the county in the 1870s. Shortly thereafter Asa was murdered by bushwackers operating in the region and the family was split apart. Asa and Margaret's son Ephraim married Mary Cook, daughter of William & Amanda Cook. Amanda’s parents, John & Eliza Smith, moved to the county in the 1870s.
