County History and Geography

In the Timberlands Region of southern Arkansas, Union County was formed in 1829 from Hempstead and Clark counties. Its county seat, El Dorado, is on US-187, about 125 miles south of Little Rock. Union is bordered by the Arkansas counties of Columbia, Ouachita, Calhoun, Bradley and Ashley, and the Louisiana Parish of Union.

James McGowan, Son, M, S, W, 3, MS, N/A, Fa: MS, Mo: MS
Walter McGowan, Son, M, S, W, 4M, MS, N/A, Fa: MS, Mo: MS
[Note, a first look at the young McGowan sons above suggest that Cally may have previously been married to a McGowan. However there is a 50 year age differential between Cally and the McGowan sons. Also, the family tree indicates that "Caroline" and Nathan were married 17 Jan 1878. Thus, two years after marrying a Culpepper, how could she have had a 4 month old son named McGowan? Finally, the sons are shown as being born in MS and with parents born there as well. Thus, these boys are probably not sons of Nathan or Cally, in spite of each being designated a "Son" of Nathan.]
