Please help. There has to be someone out there researching AR and MS Camp
families. I have exhausted all possible avenues to find my relative:

AMANDA MARGARET CAMP: born 7 Nov 1851 MS, married 27 Dec 1866 in Jefferson
Co. AR to David B. Shelton had the following children:

Laura Shelton born 1869 died before 1880

Drew Corbin Shelton born 6 Dec 1872 died 1 May 1932 Boswell, Choctaw Co. OK

Adah Shelton born 15 Jan 1874 died 9 Apr 1951 Gurdon, Clark Co. AR

Robert Lee Shelton born 17 Dec 1876 30 Dec 1970 Pine Bluff, Jefferson Co.
AR

in 1870 There was an 11 year old Laura KEMP or CAMP in the house hold with
David and Amanda. I believe she is a sister I have never found a marriage
record for her or other family members. In 1880 David and family are in
Fall Co. TX and in 1885 Mandy is back in AR in Clark Co. when she married
second William Wayne Gates born 15 Aug 1843 AR
and died 22 May 1919 in Okolona, Clark Co. AR. Her children by this
marriage are:

William Henry Gates born 1885 Clark Co. AR

Benjamin Gates born 5 Apr 1886 Clark Co. AR died 7 Jan 1976 buried Center
Ridge Cem. Clark Co. AR

Myrtle Gates born 13 Feb 1888 Clark Co. AR

George Gates born 2 Jul 1889 Clark Co. AR died 2 Sep 1924 Clark Co. AR
buried Center Ridge Cem. Clark Co. AR

Bertha Ann Gates born 20 Feb 1893 Clark Co. AR buried Center Ridge Cem.
Clark co. AR

Ruth Gates born 1893 Clark Co. AR died 1893 Clark Co. AR buried Center Ridge
Cem. Clark Co. AR

Eugene Gates born 20 Jul 1894 Clark Co AR died 5 Apr 1960 Clark Co. AR
buried Center Ridge Cem. Clark Co. AR

I thought perhaps the children's names would be a clue but have had no luck.
There is supposed to be someone who saved the family records of Ada Shelton
who married John H. Beard and I have not been able to track them down.

Any clues greatly accepted. This is my only broken branch of my family
tree.
