His name was Will Tom Brown. My grandfather, Art Forkner, was an auctioneer and auctioned at the sale held every Friday at this barn. I am wondering if anyone could suggest where I could look for the property sale transactions for this property when my father bought it. He first bought half interest in the barn and later bought the other owner out and owned it by himself for several years. Also, if anyone has any photos, information, and memories of going to this barn, we would appreciate anyone sharing those experiences with my brother and myself. I would appreciate any information anyone has. When my older brother and I were kids, we went to the sale whenever we were in town and loved it. We have lots of fun memories of the place and the people. If anyone knows anything about the history of this barn, we would appreciate any information about it. Thanks much.

Lewis b. abt. 1807 in KY, possible son of Earl Eason Lewis http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ARKANSAS/2008-11/1226258248 Help! James M. Lewis is an enigma. According to his children's later census records he was born in Kentucky. I have no documentation on his birthdate, parentage, or life. All information is from various unproved family oral histories and census research. We do know he had a wife Catherine and that they had at least 4 known children all born in Crawford County, Arkansas before James supposedly died about 1854 in Crawford County, Arkansas: Buena Vista "Winny" b. 1847, David Walker b. 1848, Jefferson b. 1850, James Boone b. abt. 1851, and Melissa b. 1854 (from 1900 census). (Jefferson and James Boone may be the same individual). After his death or perhaps dissertion, Catherine married John Boen/Bowen/Boon about 1855. John had seven children from his first marriage. John Boen and Catherine then had three children. Catherine died about 1858. James M. Lewis posted two public notices in the newspaper, "Arkansas Intelligencer" of Crawford County, Arkansas announcing that he would not pay any bills run-up by Catherine Lewis. These were dated: Oct. 7, 1848 and July 7, 1849. Thus it appears they had marital difficulties. There is also a notice in the newspaper listing James M. Lewis as an administrator for the estate of Peyton Lewis, deceased, dated Dec. 4, 1847. The 1850 Jasper Township, Crawford Co., Arkansas census record indicates that James M. Lewis's wife was Catherine McCurdy, b. abt 1825 in Tennessee to Samuel and Rachel McCurdy. She is found living next door to Elijah Lewis on one side and Samuel McCurdy on the other. James is not in the household but his children are and I believe he may be the James Lewis and his son David found living in the household of Mary Haynes in Richland, Crawford County, Arkansas in 1850. David Walker Lewis could be moving between his parents' residences and enumerated in both households, once in Dec. and once in Nov. 1850 Census: Jasper Township, Crawford County, Arkansas, Microfilm # M432-25, Page #334A enumerated Dec. 20, 1850 20th day of Dec 1850 by S G Clark Lewis Catharine 25 F Ten Lewis Winny V 3 F Ark Lewis David M 2 M Ark Lewis Jefferson 1/12 M Ark 1850 Census: Richland, Crawford, Arkansas; Roll: M432_25; Page: 318; Image: 630. enumerated Nov. 22, 1850 James Lewis 43 M Laborer Kentucky David Lewis 3 M Arkansas Mary Haynes 36 F Kentucky Sarah Haynes 18 F Tennessee David Haynes 15 M Tennessee next residence: Joseph F. Lewis 25 M Laborer Tennessee Melissa A. Lewis 20 F Arkansas Thadeus Shear 13 M Arkansas James M. Lewis is not a child of Elijah Lewis who lived next door to Catherine Lewis. I believe there is sketchy evidence that indicates James M. Lewis may be a son of Earl Eason Lewis. If the James Lewis found in the1850 census record is James M. Lewis with his son David Walker and if Mary (nee Lewis) Haynes, James Lewis, and Joseph F. Lewis are children of Earl Eason Lewis as has been conjectured by some researchers then my James M Lewis would be Earl's son. I have looked at all the Lewis families in Crawford and many of the surrounding counties and not found any other James Lewis in 1850 who fits James M. Lewis. If James M. is a son of Earl Eason Lewis then he probably was born in abt. 1807 in , Livingston County, Kentucky as were: Harriet (nee Lewis) Haynes b. abt. 1800 and Claibourn / Claborn b. 1803. Mary (nee Lewis) Haynes conjectured to be Earl's daughter, was b. abt. 1809 in Kentucky. Two other unidentified children of Earl were also born in Kentucky, one a male b. bet. 1794-1801 and a female b. bet. 1795-1804. All these proposed children fit into Earl's 1820, 1830, and/or 1840 census records. It is also possible that Peyton Lewis is a son of Earl. Here are the records I believe are for Earl Eason Lewis. Earl was in Tennessee by 1820 where other children were born. In the "Second Census" of Kentucky 1800 census from tax lists these Lewises are found living in Livingston County, Kentucky. Clift, G.

Here are the lines I have so far and some of my hypotheses which are not proved. Sorry but this is very long. 1. Earl/Earle Eason Lewis b. between 1760-1770, presumed to be abt. 1770. He is found in Wayne Co., Tennessee in 1820, 1830 and in Crawford Co., Arkansas in 1840. He is the presumed father of : * Harriet b. abt 1800 in Kentucky and found in Scott Co., Arkansas in 1850 * Claibourn b. 1803 in Kentucky and found in Scott Co., Arkansas in 1850 * David E. b.1821 Wayne County, Tennessee and found in Scott Co., Arkansas in 1850 and possible father of: * James b. abt. 1807 in Kentucky found in Crawford Co., Arkansas in 1850 * Mary b. abt. 1809 in Kentucky found in Crawford Co., Arkansas in 1850 * Joseph F. Lewis b. abt 1825 in Tennessee found in Crawford Co., Arkansas in 1850 I think James M. Lewis b. bef. 1825 in Kentucky m. Catherine McCurdy may be the son James listed as a possible son of Earl/Earle Eason Lewis. Peyton Lewis b. 1812 possibly in Tennessee may also be a son of Earl since James M. Lewis was the administrator of his estate in 1847. Peyton was married to Mary Ellen Lewis (mentioned below in #3). 2. John Lewis b. between 1760-1770. He is found living in Crawford County, Missouri in 1830 and Ripley County, Missouri in 1840. His sons, Henry and Elijah are in Crawford County, Arkansas in 1850. It is possible this John Lewis is the same John Lewis in 3. below. Living near by in 1830 in Ripley County, Missouri is Samuel Lewis b. Bet. 1770 - 1780 and his possible sons: Samuel Jr. b. abt 1803, William b. abt. 1805, and Dennis b. abt. 1811. I believe John and Samuel may be brothers. John's presumed to be the father of: * Henry b. abt. 1790 in Kentucky and found in Crawford Co, Missouri in 1830, Ripley Co., Missouri in 1840 and Crawford County, Arkansas in 1850 * Elijah b. abt 1802 in Kentucky and found in Crawford Co, Missouri in 1830, Ripley Co., Missouri in 1840 and Crawford County, Arkansas in 1850 * John b. abt. 1805 found n Crawford Co, Missouri in 1830, Ripley Co., Missouri in 1840 3. This John Lewis's father is said to have been Hugh or John Lewis. John Lewis supposedly moved from Kentucky to Washington County, Missouri in abt. 1804 however Washington County didn't exist then. In 1834 Washington, Ripley, and Crawford County, Missouri were adjacent to one another, which makes me wonder if this John Lewis and the John Lewis (2. above) b. bet. 1760-1770 and father of Henry, Elijah, and John are one and the same person. This John Lewis is the father of: * Joseph C. Lewis b. May 8, 1802 in Livingston County, Kentucky and found in Hempstead, Arkansas Territory in 1830, and Prairie Co., Arkansas in 1840 & 1850 * Hugh Lewis b. abt. 1804 in Missouri and found in Hempstead, Arkansas Territory in 1830, and Washington Co., Arkansas in 1840 & 1850 and possibly: * Mary Ellen Lewis b. abt. 1814 in Tennessee and found in Washington Co., Arkansas abt. 1834 where she married Peyton Lewis (possible son of Earl #1 above) and is found in Washington Co., Arkansas in 1850 after Peyton's death living near Hugh Lewis. She supposedly married a cousin. 4. John Lewis b. 1807 in Tennessee m. Marian Coulter and found living in Washington County, Arkansas in 1840, 1850, and 1860. 5. Stephen Decatur Lewis b. June 7, 1807 Jessamine County, Kentucky supposedly to William Peyton Lewis b. abt. 1767, m. Lydia Bains Potts. Stephen was a large land owner in Pope County, Arkansas in the 1840s and 1850s. He was in Conway County, Arkansas in 1850, and Pope County, Arkansas in 1860. 6. Zachariah Lewis b. abt. 1774 in North Carolina, m Rachel Brackin. He died in North Carolina. His wife then married Peter Mankins and they brought the family to Washington County, Arkansas where Zachariah's children, George Washington, Lydia, and Brackin are listed in 1840 and 1850. 7. Samuel Lewis b. abt. 1801 in Tennessee m. Bricey Holt and they were living in Vineyard, Washington Co., Arkansas in 1830, 1840, and 1850. 8. William Lewis b. bet. 1810-1820 and found in Scott County, Arkansas in 1840. 9. Dennis Lewis b. abt. 1811 in Tennessee m. Hester Shipman found in Carroll County, Arkansas in 1840, 1850, and 1860. He may be the Dennis Lewis found in Crawford County, Missouri in 1830 living near Samuel Lewis, Jr. b. abt Abt. 1803, and in the same county as William Lewis b.abt. 1805, and Samuel Lewis b. Bet. 1770 - 1780. I am wondering if the elder Samuel Lewis is his father and the others just listed are his brothers. I also wonder whether the elder Samuel Lewis is a brother or other close relative of John Lewis (2. above) since they are found in the same county in Missouri in 1830. Other researchers list this Dennis as a brother of George W. Lewis b. Bet. 1812 - 1815 in Tennessee who settled in Conway County, Arkansas and Carroll Lewis who was b. abt. 1815 in Virginia and d. 1865 in Tennessee but I question whether this is true. 10. James Lewis b. Bet. 1800-1810 and found in Washington County, Arkansas in 1840. He had five children listed in 1840 b. bet. 1825-1840. He was living 3 residences from George Lewis and 5 residences from Bracken Lewis, sons of Zachariah Lewis (6 above). 11. James Willis Lewis b. abt 1800 is found living in Crawford County, Arkansas by 1836 and in 1840. I believe he is then found in Arkansas County, Arkansas in 1850 and in his wife Elizabeth is in Freestone County, Texas in 1860. 12. John Wesley Lewis b. abt 1819 in North Carolina, m. Rachel E. [--?--]. They are found in Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1880 and many of their children are found there in 1900 living together without their parents. 13. Obadiah / Obediah Lewis b. abt. 1810 in Tennessee, m. Margaret [--?--]. He may be a relative of John Lewis (#2 above and or the elder Samuel Lewis mentioned in # 2 and 9 above) since he is found living in Ripley County, Missouri in 1840 just as both John and Samuel were, and in Boon County, Arkansas in 1850. 14. Sciotha Lewis b. abt. 1815 in Kentucky, m. Mary [--?--]. He was in Washington County, Arkansas in 1840 and 1850.
