Herodias (Long) Hicks Gardner Porter, and her marital hijinx also made Rhode Island talk. In 1644 she and her first husband, John Hicks, parted after Horred charged him with abuse and he accused her of whoredom. In 1655 her second husband, George Gardner, was tried for keeping John Hicks’ wife as his own. Gardner was found not guilty because the Hickses had been legally separated. However, in 1665 the forty-two year-old Horred asked for a divorce from George because they had never married. Horred got another separation from the shocked colony. Only a couple of years later she and John Porter, who was a good twenty years older than she, were tried for cohabitation.

How so?

A murder of a Black Man! The Murder of a White Doctor & Conway County, Arkansas' first hanging of a White Man.

I am always researching my family tree and when I discovered the following historical gem I had to re-tell the story because Sam Kennimer was my 2nd Great Grandmother Hattie Bell Allen's ex-husband who she divorced in November 1897.

Editor's Note: The following is reprinted from the March 1 edition of "ArkaTech", the student newspaper at Arkansas Tech at Russellville. By: Sandy Jones

Around 1896 Marshell Baker, a black, moved to Center Ridge, Arkansas, from Chicago. With money he had from a life insurance policy, he bought a house and some land and opened a saloon. The townspeople at that time didn't like a Negro owning land in their community, so two of the citizens decided to do something to remedy the situation. Alex Brinkley and Dr. Gilbert C. Chamness shot him one night, put his body in the house, and set the house on fire. His charred body was found the next day. One leg was missing where a dog had ripped it off to gnaw on.

No one explored the m…

Boggess who is listed as the the Treasure for the "TWYLC" and on the follow the money website she is listed as a lobbyist for the Conway County Legal Beverage Association.



Then when you google the CCLBA you find a reference on the SOS website to it and on its list of officers you find Otto Leinhard which is a person and the same name as the Budweiser distributor.


Now, it gets interesting but not to exciting. Based on information from Blue Hog Report we find that on 9/19/13 CCLBA contributed $5,000 dollars with a total contribution for the year as $8,000 to DBH 2 PAC.


So, does Otto Leinhard the person or the company know that it's lobbyist is sending mailers out from…

Brainstorming: Alton Military Prison for Confederate POWs.

As a fan of movies and history I have decided it's time to start the research about a Illinois Prison that was used as a POW Prison during the Civil War.

My 4th Great Grandfather was imprisoned at Alton, Il where he caught Smallpox and died, his name is listed on a memorial today as Private Jno S. Storment.

In reality his name is John S. Storment.
