Hi cuz Robin
Thanks for the info. Have put it in the tree. If you have any other info
you would like to share would be glad to have it . James K. Polk Rhodes
a brother of your great Grandpa was married to my Grandpa, William
Ignatius Montgomery's Sister, Amanda Elizabeth Patterson Montgomery. We
are real happy to get the info from you. We are trying to find the
family of Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery the mother of
Amanda and William Ignatius Montgomery. Have you by chance seen or heard
anything on the family. Below is what we think we know.

LOOKING FOR SOPHRONIA/SAFRONIA

Sophronia D. Wiseman was born February 1851 in Arkansas, and died May
8th, 1904 in Arkansas. She married James Ferguson Montgomery 6
July 1871. She is buried in Humphries Cemetery, Fulton County, Arkansas.
We found that the middle initial "D." was the name Davenport. The
children of Sophronia D. Wiseman and James Ferguson Montgomery were Mary
FrancesMontgomery born about. 1873, Alfred T. Montgomery
born April 14, 1874, Izard County, Arkansas and died 25 March 1964. He
is buried in the Wiseman Cemetery, Wiseman Arkansas. Amanda
Elizabeth Patterson Montgomery, born October 1883 in Arkansas. William
Ignatius Montgomery born 11 September 1886, Morriston, Arkansas.
He died June 1965. Buried in the Marked Tree Cemetery, Marked Tree,
Arkansas. Lilly Leeonis Montgomery born 31 March 1880, Fulton County,
Arkansas. Samuel Leondis Montgomery born 31 March 1890, Morriston,
Arkansas. He died 9 February 1984.

We found her in the 1870 Fulton County census living in the Wiley C.
King household and in the 1880 and 1900 Fulton County census married
to James.

What we are really looking for is some information about her parents
and/or siblings. On every census we have found, her parents and
Sophronia were supposedly born in Arkansas. In the 1850 census there
were three Wiseman's living in Fulton County, that we know of, so we
are pining our hopes on one of them. They were all in Union Township on
page 158, Thomas and Mary, Absolem and Nancy and Davenport
and Matilda.

Part of E-Mail 1 Feb 2001 from:
Charles and Dee Colvin

Hi Judie? Nice to meet a distant cousin!! Yes, my mother use to speak of
Sophronia Davenport WISEMAN, and her name is among those that
were in the family Bible.
(Note it was a King Family Bible per Dee Colvin) The Bible has Safronia
D. Wiseman Born 24 February 1851 Married James F. Montgomery 6
July 1871

We have also had a letter from Mr. Tom Chapman who is researching the
Wiseman family. He wrote:
"You can be sure that Sophronia is a descendant of either Martin or
Davenport Wiseman - brothers, whose families settled in Arkansas. They
lived for quite a few years in Tennessee but were natives of North
Carolina - sons of Thomas and Cordelia Wiseman. Thomas was the first son
of William and Mary (Davenport ) Wiseman."

Thanks in advance
