Hill Family History

 (last update 5 Jul 2006)

Fourth Generation
( FRANCIS MARION3, JOHN2, CORNELIUS1)

 

Children of Francis Acord and Elizabeth Turner

 

1. John Samuel Acord [4216] was born 1 December 1856 in Friley, Johnson County, Arkansas, and died 20 March 1928 in Clarksville, Johnson County, Arkansas. John was orphaned during the Civil War. He father died of disease while in the service of the Union Army and his mother died within a few months in Friley, Johnson County, Arkansas. John and his brother were taken to the home of their Uncle Calvin Acord by there Aunt Angeline. Their grandfather, Spencer Horner, came and took the boys to his home near the current town of Ozone, Johnson County, Arkansas. Almost as soon as they arrived at their grandfather home, Spencer was killed by bushwhackers. Their Uncle John T. Horner then moved the family to Missouri. John assumed guardianship of the orphans and filed for a Federal Pension on their behalf on 7 September 1865. It is not clear if he was ever legally named their guardian. After the war was over some of the Horner family returned to Arkansas, bringing John and his brother with them. John's grandfather, John Acord, died in 1866 and when his estate was settled in 1867 John's Uncle Calvin was named guardian of the boys. He was raised in his Uncle Calvin's home. He married Amanda C. 'Mandy' Hill in 1874 in Johnson County, Arkansas, daughter of Joseph Hill and Emeline Jones. She was born 5 August 1859 in Yale, Johnson County, Arkansas, and died 26 April 1937 in Yale, Johnson County, Arkansas. John was a farmer. In June 1900 his cousin Mary Newton Acord, daughter of Thomas Newton B. Acord and Martha Loretta Kozier, lived with them in Johnson County. After John passed away Amanda moved to Dyer, Crawford County, Arkansas where she lived with her son Robert. John and Amanda are buried in Kendall Cemetery, Johnson County, Arkansas.

  4. Joseph Marion Acord, born 15 November 1878, Clarksville, Johnson, Arkansas; died 23 January 1960, Chandler, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, married Mary Bertha Ethel Yates, 10 Sep 1899 in Oark, Johnson County, Arkansas; born 8 May 1882, Hunt, Johnson County, Arkansas, died 9 November 1956, Sparks, Lincoln County, Oklahoma.

  9. Columbus Acord, born October 1887, Johnson County, Arkansas.

  10. James T. Acord, born November 1889, Johnson County, Arkansas; died 8 December 1961, Hartman County, Arkansas;  married Ethel 'Effie' Sexton, 7 November 1911 in Johnson County, Arkansas; born about 1895, Johnson County, Arkansas; died 14 March 1962; Hartman, Johnson County, Arkansas.

  11. Martha A. Acord, born May 1892, Johnson County, Arkansas; married James Leonard Williams; born Feb 1869, Kentucky.

  12. Lular Francis Acord, born 1893, Johnson County, Arkansas; married 1) Ellic Parker; married 2) Monroe Thompson.

  13. Carroll Robert 'Bob' Acord, born 15 March 1895, Johnson County, Arkansas; died 7 January 1973. Buried in Kendall Cemetery, Johnson County, Arkansas. He was a farmer and never married.

  14. Ella Acord, born 12 September 1896, Johnson County, Arkansas; died 15 October 1917; married Hartsel Ogden, 12 December 1916; died October 1917.

Research Notes: There are a number of difficulties in the record for this family group. In the 1900 Johnson County, Arkansas Census, it is stated that John and Amanda had been married for 25 years, had 10 children and only 7 of those were living. There are seven children listed in the household and Charles Perry is found as a servant in the Jasper Hill household . Missing are, Melinda Mary Jane (who may have left the county with her husband by 1900), Emeline (who may have died before 1900) , Julia Ann , Joseph Marion (who may have moved to Oklahoma with his wife by 1900), Dorsey, Eugene Marcus, and Lular Francis. They may have misunderstood the question and stated how many children were living WITH them. That still does not account for the discrepancy in the number of children (10 versus 16). Melinda Mary Jane, Julia Ann, Emeline and John Marion are listed in the 1880 Johnson County, Arkansas census. That brings the total documented children born to this couple to 11 by June 1900. The last child, Rosie, was born after the 1900 census. It also appears that James T. and Eugene Marcus are either the same person or Eugene is not a child of John and Amanda. Dorsey may be incorrect. The 1910 census is blurred but the total number of children appears to be 10, but could be 16. Surviving children of Rosa insist that the correct number of children is 15.
