Robert Yocum in Franklin Co., AR 1880's
Looking for information on family of Robert Yocum born about 1874, maybe in MS.He is listed on the 1880 census in Wittich, Franklin Co., Arkansas with his parents John H and Matilda E Yocum.He is also listed with the following siblings:James Yocum born about 1870,William Yocum born about 1872, Flora Yocum born about 1875, and Charles Yocum born about 1878.Census shows all children born in MS and both parents born in AL.
I am trying to connect this Robert to R. W. Yocum who married Luvida "Lu" Boles on Jan 08, 1895 in Logan Co., Arkansas.Lu Boles is part of my Boles line that has been extremely difficult to trace.It is known that Lu her husband lived in Indian Territory in the early 1900's.Her mother Rebecca, who lived in Logan and/or Franklin Co., AR went to visit her and died.Apparently Rebecca was dead 3 years before her family in Arkansas found out.Rebecca died sometime around 1915-1920.
Any clue as to where this family lived and/or info on their background could help.Thank you for any and all help.
