Robert Calvin Pinson, a grandson of an old Revolutionary soldier, and a son of Isaac and Re- becca (Pinson) Pinson, was born in Rockingham County, N. C., December 23, 1827, this county being the place of his parents' nativity, his father being born in 1789, and his mother in 1790. Isaac Pinson and wife were of Scotch descent, and members of the Primitive Baptist Church. They were the parents of twelve children, four of whom are living: John (in Carroll County, Tenn.), Eliza beth (also of Tennessee), Robert C. (the principal of this sketch) and Susan. Isaac Pinson having married the second time, was the father of three children, Isaac H. and Rebecca J., still living. Robert was raised on the farm and educated in the subscription schools of Carroll County, Tenn., his parents having moved there when he was five years of age. The education which he received was limited, he being obliged to help his father on the farm. But when twenty four, he attended school nine months, which, with the education he had received when a boy, gave him a fair knowledge of the common branches. In 1858 he was married

in Henry County, Tenn., to Sarah E. Beasley, who was born in that county, in 1842, and who is a daughter of N. C. and Rebecca Beasley, natives of Tennessee and Virginia, respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Pinson are the parents of eight children: Judith R., William B., Charles C., Alice (wife of Alexander Fleming), John E., Mary B., Robert C. and Isaac E. In 1873 he moved from Tennes- see to Arkansas, and located in this county. In November, 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army, in Company C, Forty sixth Tennessee In- fantry, in which he was made first lieutenant; serving in this capacity twelve months, he was then discharged on account of disability. Mr. Pinson owns a fine farm of 160 acres, situated about eight miles northwest of Cabot, of which he has seventy acres in cultivation. He is considered one of the prominent Democrats of his township, and a re- spected citizen.

Portis, one of the leading farmers of Lonoke County, was born in Mississippi, Febru- ary 14, 1849, and is the son of Addison and Har- riet (Hill) Portis, natives of Tennessee and Mis- sissippi, respectively. Addison Portis claims Ten- nessee as his birthplace, was educated there and learned the carpenter's trade, becoming very pro- ficient in this. His death occurred in 1853, and his wife, who survived him, was married again to Mr. Samuel Graham, to whom were born three children. J. P. Portis was educated in Missis- sippi, and in 1872 he emigrated to Arkansas, lo- cating at Pine Bluff. After a year's residence in this place, he moved to Lonoke County, where he has since resided. The seqnel of his moving to Arkansas was a marriage, which was consummated in July, 1880, the bride being Miss Mollie C. Clark. To this marriage three children were born, name- ly: Frank G., James P. and Beulah. He is a farmer by occupation and a very successful one, too, owning 160 acres of splendid land, with about 140 under cultivation. He affiliates with the Ma- sonic Lodge, to which order he has belonged abont eight years. He is a member of the Baptist Church and his wife an adherent of the Catholic faith. They are very pleasant, hospitable people, and are very popular in social circles.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

John W. Puryear. Three brothers, of French nativity, emigrated to this country from the land of their birth at an early day. They were the found- ers of the Puryear family. of which John W. Pur- year, of Carlisle, is a representative. John W. was born in Virginia, near Petersburg, in 1860, and was the son of William and Sarah (Bridgport) Puryear, natives of Virginia, as was also the grandfather of our subject, who was also named William. When John W. was an infant his par- ents moved from Virginia to Western Tennessee and settled eighteen miles from Memphis, on a farm, where they remained from 1860 to 1877, when they moved to Arkansas and settled in Lo- noke City. The following year they moved to the farm on which John W. Puryear now lives. Mr. Puryear died in October, 1888, at the age of sixty- four. His wife is still living. in her fifty-fourth year, and is the mother of twelve children, seven of whom are still living: Richard E., Bettie (wife of James Ross), Anna E.

Kentucky, respectively. Richard Pyburn came to Arkansas in 1823, and located at Indian Bay, on the White River, where he engaged in the mercantile business, also following the occupation of steamboat- ing, and piloted the first boat up the White River. He became a very popular citizen, and represented Prairie County in the General Assembly of Arkan- sas. His death, which occurred in 1855, at Py- burn's Bluff, was deeply felt by the entire commu- nity. After his father's death, William H. moved to Brownsville, where he remained until the break- ing out of the war. when he enlisted (in 1S60) in Pleasant's Trans Mississippi regiment, and in Capt. William Goodrum's company. He served until the close of the war, and was commissioned second lieutenant, participating in the battle of Prairie Grove, and at the battle of Helena he was wounded and taken prisoner, and for twenty-one months was incarcerated at Johnson's Island, and there received his parole. After the war Mr. Py- burn returned to Arkansas, and located soon after in Lonoke, and there worked at his trade, that of carpentering, which he learned when young. He soon after accepted a position as book-keeper with W. H. Eagle & Co., continuing with them until they sold out to Daniel & Strauss, with whom he remained, filling the same position for eight years. In 1SSS he was offered his present position with W. H.

teenth century and settled in Lancaster County, which was organized in an early period of the eighteenth century. The grandfather of the Doc- tor was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and bis own father served in the War of 1812. He was a farmer by occupation, and died within a half mile of his birthplace, in 1881, at the age of eighty-four, his wife dying the year before, in her seventy-seventh year. They were members of the Mennonite Church, also the parents of fourteen children, six of whom died in infancy, eight still living. Dr. Reiff lived at home until after he be- came of age, helping his father on the farm. He commenced the study of medicine when quite young, and entered college in 1853, graduating the next year. In 1857 he commenced practicing near the old homestead, remaining there till 1865, when he moved to Woodford County, Ill., where he practiced two years, then moved to Iroquois County, where he remained four years, here con- tinuing in his practice and busying himself farm- ing. In 1871 he traveled in the South for his health, and the following year located in Grand Prairie, where he now resides, spending the first year on a farm which he bought, and since resid- ing in Carlisle.

Though but little interested in politics, he is one of the leading Republicans of the county. He was elected mayor of Carlisle in the spring of 1885, and re-elected in the spring of 1886.

William Henry Roberson, whose record while occupying the public office of assessor of Lonoke County has been an honorable and upright one, was born in Marion County, Ala., October 15, 1844, and is the son of Thomas and Priscilla (Lee) Roberson, originally of Tennessee and South Car- olina, respectively. They migrated to Alabama with their parents at an early day, and there mar- ried. They moved to Mississippi in 1855, and three years later came to Arkansas, locating near Austin, then in Prairie County, but since changed to Lonoke County, where they now reside. William Henry lived with his parents till man- hood, receiving all the educational advantages to be had'in those days, which were, of course, very meager. In 1861 he enlisted in Company I, of the Fifth Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, under the command of Capt. Jingles, of Austin. He partic- ipated in many skirmishes and battles, among them Murfreesboro, Farmington. Shiloh, Mumfords- ville, Perryville and Chickamauga. At the latter place he was shot through the arm, this wound afterward necessitating amputation at the shoulder, after which he took part in the sixty days' battle in the Georgia campaign, and served until the close of the war; he was very fortunate in not once being taken prisoner. At the close of the war he returned home and attended school for ten months, after leaving school began farming, and has since continued that occupation.
