Hello and Welcome...

I am Judy Tate and I own and maintain all pages on ARFamilies.info. With that being said, I do not claim ownership of items submitted by visitors, I merely provide the webspace for the sharing of family info, pictures, and documents, as well as records and information specific to Franklin County.
Enjoy your visit. Most pages have sound...if you do not enjoy listening, please use the mute control on your computer. Each page has a specific arfamilies.info email address. If you have comments about a particular page, please send email to the link at bottom of that page where it reads: About This Page. I will then know which page you are writing about and can make necessary changes/updates.
I have two personal email addresses, and always enjoy hearing from folks with an interest in Arkansas and her families...Judy Tate

Indians and Earliest White Occupants The earliest Indian occupation known was by the Osages in the north and the Quawpaws south of the river. Contemporary with them, however it is known that there were French settlers even before 1816, as is evidenced by the fact of the deed of land on the river near Altus, given in 1816, by Jean Baptiste Dardenne, and that it was a private French survey made by himself, a survey that is still recognized.
