Madison County, Arkansas, U.S., History and Biography, 1889

This database contains a work called 1889 History of Madison County, Arkansas, which was extracted from a larger work called History of Arkansas, and published by Goodspeed in 1889. The original volume has two sections devoted to each county--the first presents a general history of the county and the second is a collection of biographical sketches of residents of the county. This database contains both of these sections for Madison County.

This database is a wonderful source of information for researchers with ancestors from this area in Arkansas. Not only may it provide you with information on the time and place in which your ancestors lived that will help you place them in historical context, but it may also provide you with very specific information about your ancestors. Even if your ancestors are not mentioned in the biographical sketches, this portion of the work can still be of great worth. Much can be learned about the lives of our ancestors by reading about the lives of others who lived during the same time period.
