    Notes:

    Look at the Noxubee County, Mississippi chancery & probate case files 674, 675, 676, 677. It's pretty clear that Alfred is son of William & Elizabeth Huckabee. But this will require a timeline of the probate papers to figure all of this out. All of these are on Family Search. Probate Minute index lays out timelines, mostly.

    In Leake County, at the same time as Alfred is there, an Indian named Hacubee is selling land. This makes a little confusion. But there are no overlapping tracks that Hacubee buys or sells with Alfred Huckaby. Likewise, no DNA evidence for any Indian ancestors in this line exists.

    Based on the 1880 Census, I would expect that perhaps Alfred married a second time to N. Her parents were from Scotland and Tennessee. His parents were from Virginia. Or Nancy and Mary were the same person. Seems more likely.

    There is an Alfred Huckaby from Yell County who enlists in the 3rd US Cavalry, US Army in 1863. This could be the same person. Seems likely.

    There is an A. Huckaby buried in Springdale, Washington County, died 1898 that could be the right person. However, there's no good reason for him to be there. When Alfred's 2nd wife died, there was no mention of him in her will. But it only pertained to property that she had owned beforehand.

    However, the findagrave obituary for A.Huckaby indicated that he lived in Brentwood, Washington County, Arkansas. There are several Huckaby families in that area and no indication that Alfred ever lived there. Likewise, his wife died far too much earlier for the obituary to fit.

    In the Yell County tax lists, I find A. Huckaby in 1885 (as expected) but not in 1887 or 1893. But he likely would have aged out of taxes as easily as he could have moved. However I do see I.A. Huckaby in Dardanelle Twp in the Dardanelle town special school district. None of these tax lists give any indication of age or any other identifying information for tax payers.

    There is also a D.F. Huckaby family in Yell County that is prominent and seems likely to be connected.

    History of New Hope Baptist Church
    Dardanelle, Arkansas - Thursday, May 3, 1945

    Way back in 1867, shortly after the close of the Civil War, New Hope Baptist Church was organized. A band of men and women from Bethel Church, located in another community of Yell County, met together for the purpose. The exact date was September 7th, 1867.

    The name of those people may mean little to us now—it has been so long ago. Yet descendents of some of these pioneers are among the leading citizens of our county.

    The Adams, Grace, Huckaby, Cole, Thomas, Cowger, Eidson, Jackson, Gateley, Dacus, Veazey, Brinson, and Banks families, and many others played leading parts in the early development of our County and its resources.

    So the Church of New Hope was founded long before most of us were born.

    It is interesting to note the difference of disciple of the early Church and our modern Church. To use a familiar expression, the members “had to walk the line.” If they did not do so, they found themselves on the outside. They had a rule then that forced attendance. If more than two Church Conferences were missed the guilty parties were called upon to give the reason why. Sounds odd, doesn’t it, to those of us in this present day.

    And many were punished for taking part in worldly pleasures that pass unnoticed in this modern time.

    The charter members of the New Hope Church had no building of their own to worship in at the beginning. They used an old log house nearby for about three years. This building was known as the “Old Chapel” or “Dobson Springs.” It was later used as a school house for many years. Many of the leading citizens of the county received their early education in this old cabin.

    However, New Hope afterwards constructed a building of their own and worshipped there for about thirty-six years. They then constructed a two-story building in conjunction with the Odd Fellows Fraternal Order, each sharing equally in the cost. This building had a very tragic ending after about fifteen years’ use. On a Sabbath morning in March 1920, the church building burned A couple of youth met early that morning and attempted to start a fire in the heating stove. By mistake, they poured the contents of a gasoline can on the fire, causing an explosion. One of the youths, a boy named Ray Massey, was badly burned, and after several weeks of intense suffering, he died.

    Again, the Church was without a place to worship, but they later constructed a modern frame building, and they still are using that today.

    Space does not permit a complete list of Pastors who have served during the church’s 78 years of history, but we can say that New Hope has had some of the strongest preachers in the state, including L. R. Barnes, J. R. G. W. N. Adams, J. A. Meyers, Dr. (?) B. Searcy, W. E. Kimbourgh, G. (?) Faulkner, Chas. F. Wilkins, F. G. Dodson, who is now a Chaplain in the U. S. Army, Loyd Pryor and many others.

    He present Pastor is Rev. Homer Bridges (?), a graduate of Ouachita College of Arkadelphia. He is also Pastor of the Dardanelle First Baptist Church.

    So New Hope Baptist Church, with all its trials and difficulties, has been a power for good in the community and the surrounding country.

    For several years now New Hope has been closely associated with the First Baptist Church of Dardanelle both being served by the same Pastor.

    It may not be to the credit of the country Church in years gone by, but the membership paid their pastor very little salary, so they couldn’t be charged with preaching for the money. They learned, however not to depend upon their charges for a living, but supported themselves by hard labor. Civilization and Christianity owe much to those “old timers,” with their strict religious convictions and earnest Christian living. All honor to them!

    Before I close I want to list the Charter members of the New Hope Baptist Church, and tell where they came from:
    • Elder J. R. G. W. N. Adams and wife Sarah Adams, and daughter, S. A. E. Adams, J. G. Grace, Alfred Huckaby and wife, Nancy T. Huckaby, all with letters of dismission from Bethel Church, Yell County, Arkansas.
    • Ann Moore, Baptist Church, Franklin N. C.
    • S. W. Jackson, Deacon, and wife, Rush Creek, Tex.
    • Levisa C. Harrington, Clear Creek Tex.
    • Alex M. Jones, Knob Church, Tex.
    John Eidson, Center Ridge Church, Miss.
    • Susan J Bennet, Rehoboth, Tex.
    • J. P. Pendergrass and wife, Jane Pendergrass, Martha Moulden, Sarah Brinson, Levina Grace, J. A. Grace, T. E, Huckaby, all from Bethel Church.
    • Helen Mills, A. G. Hudson, Melon Hudson, and wife, Robert Veazey, S. A. Veasey and wife, former members of Dardanelle First Baptist.
    • By baptism, Hiram Brinson, James Gateley and Martha Jones.
    • L. R. Barnes, elected Pastor.
    • Robert Veazey, elected Clerk.

    The foregoing history of new Hope Baptist Church which is located … [the article fragment ends here ... the final paragraph has been lost.] New Hope Church and Cemetery are located side by side in Yell County Arkansas west of Dardanelle.

    Notes: This newspaper clipping was discovered between the pages of the Family Bible of my grandparents Roy and Vernie Eidson. now in my possession. It was yellowed and brittle with age. The condition of the clipping is seen in the photocopy, faded and torn in some places. The incident concerning gasoline on an open fire was a cautionary tale of my childhood.

    A personal note. John Eidson listed herein as a charter member is my great grandfather. Also T. E. (Turilla) Huckaby, his future bride and my great grandmother is also listed. Among the former pastors listed is my uncle Dr. F. G. Dodson, husband of my aunt Nora Lee Eidson Dodson. Dodson, after an honorable discharge from the Army, completed his Doctorate at Golden Gate Seminary, Oakland, California. These four along with Roy and Vernie Eidson and several aunts, uncles and cousins are interred in New Hope Cemetery. See the list in the link referenced below.


    A link to New Hope Cemetery, Dardanelle, Yell County, Arkansas tombstone listings and web page of Photos from Yell County.

    One other note. The article states that Dobson Springs also served as a schoolhouse. It was indeed a one-room schoolhouse and my Daddy, Harold D. Eidson and his sister, Kitty Eidson Miles, were teachers there in the early 1920s after graduating high school. Frank Grace, long-time Committee Member for New Hope Cemetery, told me stories of being taught by Daddy at the Dobson Springs school. One story Frank told happened when he was a first grader. It seems a thunderstorm blew in with heavy lightning and thunder. Frank was so frightened that he bolted out the front door on foot for the safety and comfort of home and Momma. Daddy went after him on horseback to retrieve him and bring him safely back to school to finish the day.

    Strangely, Alfred & Nancy are enumerated twice on the same day twice on the same page. It almost looks like the first on was scratched out and recrded a second time. In the second instance, there is a mary Gray in the house with a daughter Etta E Gray and maybe another sister Jane Gray. Next door is an Andrew Gray that does not necessarily fit into that family.

    Unfortunately, Book F is not available online so I cannot see who signs as wife. Presumably Sarah A Keller.

    Died:
    Alfred Huckaby may have sold all of his property by 1886. His second wife had her estate in probate with no mention at all of him in any way. That indicated that he must have pre-deceased her. But, to date, no record of his death has been found.

    There is a grave stone in Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas for an A. Huckaby, b 1822, d 1898. But there are also many Huckaby families in Washington County. This is 100 miles away with no good reason for this to be his grave. Moreover, there is a short obituary that says he wife had recently died. Alfred's wife died in 1888, ten years previous. I can find no reason to believe the Springdale grave is his.

    Alfred married Nancy Terilda Stewart on 15 Dec 1839 in Noxubee, Mississippi, United States. Nancy was born on 24 May 1811 in Wilson, Tennessee, United States; died on 12 Aug 1881 in Dardanelle, Yell, Arkansas, United States; was buried in Dardanelle, Yell, Arkansas, United States.

    Notes:

    I have seen a record calling her Mary L. But, I find a marriage license and marriage for Nancy Stewart to Alfred Huckaby which makes a lot more sense.

    Findagrave insists that her name was Nancy T. Menifee, but I cannot find any records around this.

    Census:
    Enumerated as Nancy S.

    Census:
    1880 Census reports she was from Tennessee, father from Scotland, mother from Tennessee

    Possessions:
    Signed by Alfred Huckaby and N.T. Huckaby

    Notes:

    Married:
    Marriage license was issued 11 Dec 1839 and it was recorded 4 Jan 1840. There is apparently a typo that says the marriage was done 15 Dec 1838, but it is all on the same record. So 1838 is wrong and 1839 is correct.

    Notes:

    In William's estate, it lists his heirs. Generally, when the heirs are grandchildren, it lists the parent so that the shares match. But given there are 30 years between the oldest and youngest children, could the younger ones actually be grandchildren? Is there a possible reading of either William's or Elizabeth's estate that could hint at this?

    It appears that there may be another son, Anderson, who died before William but left no surviving spouse or children.

    Birth:
    It is interesting that William and Elizabeth are listed as born in NC rather than SC. Most of the Huckabys and allied families seem to have come from SC. Not sure about Robert, the presumed father of William.

    Census:
    Enumeration:
    Free White Male 10-14: 1
    Free White Male 15-19: 1
    Free White Male 60-69: 1
    Free White Female 15-19: 1
    Free White Female 50-59: 1
    Slaves Male < 10: 3
    Slaves Male 10-23: 1
    Slaves Female < 10: 1
    Slaves Female 10-23: 1

    William is enumerated as William Huckaby Sen, just a few lines down from William Huckaby. There is also another William S Huckaby in the county (as wel as Wade Huckaby).

    This indictes that he was born between 1770-1780, so the 1780 from the 1850 Census is reasonable. However, having children who are only 10-15 years old seems unlikely.

    Census:
    Census lists him as 70 years old, born in NC, owning $400 of real estate.

    But an age of 57 calls into question William B. Huckaby as a son since he is enumerated as 57 years old in that same census. If he is a son, I would have expected an age around perhaps 47 instead of 57.

    Residence:
    When William purchases land in Noxubee County, the deed says he is from Pickens County, Alabama.

    Possessions:
    Paid $1.25 tax on his land. Jackson Huckaby owns the NW 1/4 of this section, valued at $1280.

    Probate:
    Petition to sell real estate to equitably divide it.
