The following is from Goodspeeds Biographical and Historial Memoirs of Eastern Arkansas:

Archibald C. May deserves mention as a leading farmer and stock raiser of Tyronza Township, Crittenden County. He was born in St. Francis County, Ark., March 1, 1843, as the son of Archibald May, whose birth occurred in North Carolina in 1808, he dying in St. Francis County in 1854. His parents immigrated from North Carolina to Arkansas when he was a boy, and were among the first settlers of St. Francis County. They came to this State on sleds when Memphis had but one store. The father of the subject of this sketch was married to Miss May Casbeer, of Tennessee, the daughter of Thomas Casbeer, who moved from Tennessee to St. Francis County, Ark., with all his worldly possessions on horseback; he was one of the earliest pioneers of that county. Archibald C. May, the sixth child of a family of nine children, of whom four are still living, was reared in St. Francis County, there receiving his education in the common schools. Moving to Cross County he was married in 1863, his wife being formerly Miss Mollie Pigram, who was born in Tennessee, January 2, 1844. She died December 1, 1884, being the mother of five children, of whom the following three are still living: Archibald B., Joseph M. and Berry P. Mr. May was married to Ida Pickett, July 10, 1886. By this union two children have been born, Jimanna and an infant unnamed. Mr. May has lived in Crittenden County since 1877, and has a farm of 200 acres, with twenty acres in cultivation, located in the Tyronza River bottoms. He enlisted in the Confederate army June 16, 1862, in McGee's company, and served very efficiently till December 19, 1862, when he was accidentally shot in the shoulder and discharged on account of his disability. He was constable in his township in St. Francis County for four years. Politically, he has been a Democrat since casting his first vote, which was for Seymour.

They had the following children:

3855 M i Dr. Archibald B. May was born on 20 Jun 1860. He died in 1906.

1139. James H. Pegram (Baker M. , George , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 1, 2, 3 in 1850 in Tennessee.

He is shown as 1 day old on the 1850 census taken October 27, 1850. Printed copies of the 1850 census give the middle initial in his name as R. but the original does not look like an R.

James married Talitha Elizabeth. Talitha was born 1, 2, 3, 4 in 1857 in Arkansas.

She is shown as Talitha on the 1880 Census as the wife of James. In 1920, she is found shown as a widow, living with her son, James P. Pegram and also living with her daughter's family.

They had the following children:

3860 F i Cora B. Pegram was born in 1879.
3861 M ii Lee Baker Pegram was born on 21 Feb 1882. He died in 1962.
3862 M iii James Patterson Winfield Pegram was born on 13 Aug 1886.

1140. Winfield Scott Pegram (Baker M. , George , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in Dec 1855 in Arkansas. He died 6 on 5 Dec 1933 in Wood Co., Arkansas.

In 1870, he is found living with his sister Mary May.

The 1900 Census shows the couple have been married for 19 years. The wife has had 8 children with 6 living but one or more of her children may have been by her prior marriage.

In 1910, only the son, Tommie, age 16, remains at home.

In 1920, his wife's name appears to be Annie. There are no children left in the home but there are 2 grandchildren, apparently twins, age 9. The surname is Matlock and the name of one of the children is Wesley but we can not determine the name of the second.

His obituary from the Arkansas Central Leader in McCrory, Woodruff Co., Arkansas, published December 7, 1933 reads as follows:

W. S. Pigram

Another of Woodruff County's oldest citizens is gone. Mr. Winfield Scott Pigram, age 81 years, 11 months and 20 days, died while sitting in his chair at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. J. Vanhoose about 3 miles south of McCrory, Tuesday, December 5,, 1933.

Mr. Pigram was born Dec. 15, 1851 in Memphis, Tenn., and came to Arkansas at the age of five years with his parents. He lived in Woodruff County about 50 years where he engaged in farming and he numbered his friends by his acquaintances. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church since early manhood.

Surviving the deceased are his two daughters, Mrs. Mattie Ball of Pumpkin Bend and Mrs. Etta Vanhoose, of Rt. 2 McCrory, and one son, Jim Pigram, of Dallas, Texas.

Burial was in the Beards Cemetery, Mr. W. A. White conducting the funeral service.

They had the following children:

  3863 M i William F. Pegram was born 1 in 1867.

There appears to be an error on the 1880 Census since it is unlikely that he had a son at age 12 and we know that Winfield Scott Pegram was single and living with his sister in 1870. We will leave this as it is until we find further documentation.
  3864 M ii James Harrison Pegram was born 1, 2, 3 on 11 Jan 1880 in Arkansas.

  3865 F iii Mary Etta Pegram was born 1, 2 in Mar 1882 in Arkansas.

In 1920 the couple had no children of their own but they did have her sister's son whose name appears to be Jeared and identified simply as "orphan".

3870 M i John Robert Pegram is printed as #3764.
  3871 M ii William Walter Pegram is printed as #3765.

Living with the family on 1910 Census was mother-in-law, Mary Harris, age 56, indicating that Mary, wife of Guy Pegram may have been a Harris.































George Pegram's notes tell us that Hunt became very successful in the tobacco business, owning tobacco warehouses in Douglas, Georgia and Knoxville, Tennessee. We have often wondered the source of some tobacco tags we have found from Tennessee and it appears they may have been from Hunt's warehouse.

According to George Pegram, Hunt had no children but this seems to be an error.

Alfred L. Haithcock served in the Civil War in Company B., 3th North Carolina Infantry. he enlisted on 16 August 1861and gave his age as 22 which would have him born about 1839 but the 1880 Census gives his age as 45.
