Researching the families of Trainer, Blankenship, Graves, Bolton and Pitts.
The Trainers are from the Helena area, Blankenship, Graves and Boltons from
Popular Grove (Planters or Big Creek Townships) and Southern Lee County (Moro

some information, but anything would be helpful. I was born and raised in
Helena.

I subscribed to this list to try to find my great-uncle, Sylvanis (Vann) T.
Stubbs (born 1899 - died after 1920). My grandmother said that he died in
Helena, Phillips County, Arkansas, in the/his thirties.
However, kind people on the general Arkansas lists that I belong to have
checked and cannot find a Sylvanis (Vann) Stubbs on the death index or in a
cemetery record.
So, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi Kay,
We haven't corresponded in a while. I saw your new posting on
Phillips Co., AR rootsweb. I noticed your Raymer (Ramer) and wondered
if it is connected to maybe Ramey. My Bonner ancestor married a Ramey
in the Spring Creek, Lee County area and was just curious if there is
another connection for us there.
On John D. Ramey and Eva Forest McDowell Marriage License his name is
spelled Ramsey.
I hope your research is going well. I have found nothing lately on
my Bonner/Dye connection. I'm st
