G. M. Rankin, whose reminiscences form one of the interesting portions of Arkansas history, came to this State in 1837. The only other settler in that section at that period was Hezekiah Jen- kins, who lived at Red Ferry, near the mouth of the Fourche. This man remained in that part of the country until the outbreak of war, when a dif- ference of opinion led to his death, he being called to his door one night and shot down. Jedediah Rankin, the father of G. M., moved to Perry County in 1832. Shortly after the arrival of the Rankins, other settlers commenced to arrive, the

next one being Robert Cook, who located about three miles from Red Ferry, and then came John Greathouse, Robert Rankin, who settled at a point southwest of Perryville, John and Thomas Mc- Cabe and Dave Bland, who located on the north side of the Fourche, the widow Hanwell and her brother, who lived on what is now the Rising place, and the present site of Perryville was first occupied by a settler named Klingelhoefer. That portion of the Fourche near the forks was rapidly filled up, some of the first settlers being the Bow- ers, Lackeys, Williams, Aplins and Wades, and a few miles above was where old William Houston located. The first boat that ever plied up and down the river was a primitive affair, called the "Inspector," which had a capacity of twenty-five bales of cotton, besides a few barrels of whisky, it being currently reported at that time that the lat- ter commodity never paid any revenue; however, that was something that troubled the settlers but very little. The first court of justice ever held in Perry County was presided over by Judge Claud- man, and the most notable case brought to trial at that period was that of a man named Lively for the murder of a fellow-being named McCool. The case dragged along for several years,, and was finally settled by the defendant being killed while under guard. The court was held in an old log- cabin, about sixteen feet square, and the grand jury held its session in the bushes a few feet away. The clerk, sheriff and county judge was John Ris- ing, who filled all three offices for fourteen years. The first saw mill ever put up was one erected by a man named Madden, near the forks of the

1 Fourche, and was operated by water power. It was not until 1878 that a steam-mill was built, when one was operated by Rankins & Bland. The county seat of Perry County was first located, it is believed, by a man named McCain, although the authorities on that point are not certain. G. M. Rankin was born within one-half mile of the famous Guilford Court House. in Guilford County, N. C., August 1, 1821, and is a son of Jedediah Rankin, of that State, who was pressed into serv- ice as a wagoner during the War of 1812. The grandfather, Robert Rankin, was a Revolutionary

soldier, and took part in the battle of Guilford Court House. He had just served out his time in the regular army and had returned home, when the fight occurred, after which he piloted Gen. Greene eighteen miles through the country, and was then dismissed. Jedediah Rankin and his wife were the parents of five children, of whom two died when very young. The oldest. Catherine, was born in 1812, and married a man named Kidd, now re- siding in Texas. The next was Polly Ann, who married a Capt. Wilson, of Arkansas, in which State she died in 1863; and G. M. Rankin, who, after his mother's death, in 1827, lived with an uncle named Robert Rankin, until 1837, when he moved to Arkansas, and joined his father, who had preceded him about five years. He resided with his father until his marriage, and then made a home of his own, when the elder Rankin came to live with them until his death, in 1862, at the age of seventy-nine years, his wife dying in 1882, at the age of eighty-one years. The mother's father was a cousin of Hugh White, a once noted con- gressmen of Arkansas, and her grandfather fought under Gen. Jackson, in the battle of New Orleans. The marriage of G. M. Rankin, which occurred on December 28, 1841, was with Miss Elizabeth J. Alexander, a daughter of John Alexander, one of the survivors of the battle at White Plains, in 1812, who was captured by the enemy at that time, but made his escape by swimming the Maumee River. Fourteen children were born to Mr. Rankin and his wife, of whom seven are yet living: Robert N. (born June 10, 1844, killed at Corinth, in 1863), Wash. (born September 15, 1846, who lives in Perryville), Rebecca (born in 1848. but died while an infant), W. H. B. (born in 1849, now a mer- chant in Perryville), Polly Ann (born April, 1851, died January, 1863), Catherine (born April, 1853, wife of John Bland, of Perryville). John Rankin (born April, 1855, died December, 1880), Isabella (born 1857, died January, 1877), Henry (born in 1859), Lousetta (born December 25, 1861, wife of George Bland, residing in California), Edmund born December 26, 1864, died in Texas, in 1SS6), Betsey J. (born March, 1867. wife of E. B. Rorey, residing in Perry County), Madison M. (born March

3, 1869.) Mr. Rankin served several months through the war, and fought under Gen. Marma- duke. He took part in a number of battles and skirmishes, but was never wounded, and even after returning to his home, was shot at over twenty times by his enemies, but always escaped without a scratch. He lost everything he possessed during the war, excepting his land, but being a man of energy and determination, he slowly came back into prosperity, and now owns about 1,040 acres of land, having some 125 acres under a high state of cultivation, with a good dwelling, outbuildings, and a number of tenant houses, besides three wells and a splendid orchard. In politics he is a Dem- ocrat, and in religion he attends the Methodist Church, with his wife. Mr. Rankin served on the first grand jury in Perry County, and has served once a year ever since, until late years, which his advanced age will not admit of his doing.

W. G. Rankin, a prominent stock dealer resid- ing in Perryville, is a son of Robert Rankin and Frances (Hogan) Rankin, of Tennessee and Geor- gia, respectively, the former a son of George Ran- kin, of Guilford County, N. C., and the latter a daughter of Edmund and Jane Hogan, it being said that Edmund Hogan was the first white man who ever cut a piece of timber in Little Rock, he having arrived there in 1817. He was a colonel in the War of 1812, and took part in the battle of New Orleans. Among the early settlers associated with Mr. Hogan were the Rankin, Pyatte, Kellogg and Carnahan families. George Rankin and his son, Robert, in company with several others, trav- eled up the Arkansas River as far as Cane Hill, Washington County, looking for a suitable loca- tion, but finally returned to Little Rock, and shortly afterward settled on the Maumelle River, about fourteen miles southeast of Perryville, where he resided until his death. His wife died in 1858, a few years after his decease. Edmund Hogan resided in Little Rock until within a few years of his death, in 1836. He was a candidate for election to the first legislature, but was killed by his political opponent. The bodies of himself, wife and son were first interred where the State house now stands, and it has only been a few years

since the coffins were exhumed. Robert Rankin moved with his father to the settlement on Mau- melle River, where he entered eighty acres of land. while Edmund Hogan entered the land upon which Little Rock now stands. Robert was married when quite young, being only twenty-two years old on that occasion. He sold forty acres of land which he had previously entered, and entered 120 acres more in the neighborhood of his eighty acres upon which he made his home and resided until his death, in the fall of 1863, being murdered by a bushwhacker. His wife lived five years afterward and followed him to the grave. W. G. Rankin was born March 2, 1830, in what is now Faulkner County, and received all the advantages to be derived from the schools of that period. He remained at home and worked on the farm with his father until March, 1852, when he was married to Miss Parmelia Ellsberry, by whom he has had three children: C. C. (who resides in Perryville), Edmund H. (also of Perryville) and Margaret (wife of Robert Long, who resides eight miles from that town). Mr. Rankin lost his wife on November 7, 1868, and in November, 1871, he was again married, his second wife being Miss Julia Bagly, by whom he had one child: Mary Jose- phine. This wife died in 1878, and about one year and nine months later Mr. Rankin married Mrs. Missouri Brazeale, by whom he has had two children: Egbert and Quinlen. After his first mar- riage he bought forty acres of land and entered 160 acres more eight miles east of Perryville, where he resided from 1853 to 1876, and then moved to Perryville, where he has lived ever since. During the war he enlisted in the army, but after three months' service, the long marches, exposure and hard life of a soldier affected his health, and he was forced to return home and hire a substitute to fill his place for the remainder of the war. Mr. Rankin has made industry and good management accumulate a comfortable amount of property. He owns land east of Block 14 in the town of Perryville, also forty acres just across the river with twenty acres under cultivation, besides having a half interest in 215 acres ten miles down the Fourche; of which twenty-five acres are under cul-

tivation. He is a member of the Masonic order and belongs to the Perryville lodge. In politics he is a Democrat, and has always voted that ticket. He is one of the old landmarks of the county, and any history of the State of Arkansas would be incomplete without his name. Besides himself, Mr. Rankin has two brothers and one sister still living: Edmund H. (residing in Perry County on the old homestead), Charles (residing three miles south of Perryville) and Martha (now the wife of Willis Y. Russell, living in Effingham County, Ill.

Edmond H. Rankin. The name of Rankin is a familiar one throughout Central Arkansas, the fore- fathers of that family having been among the ear- liest settlers of the State. The parents of Edmond were Robert and Frances (Hogan) Rankin, of Irish and English descent and born in North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. The paternal great- grandfather came to America before the Revolu- tionary War, and the grandfather was on his way to join the Colonial forces shortly before the battle of Guilford Court House, in North Carolina, while the maternal great-grandfather fought in the bat- tle of New Orleans. Robert Rankin came to Lit- tle Rock when there were but four or five houses in that place, and his father cleared the first land in that vicinity. They were the parents of twelve children, of whom Edmond was the fifth, and was born March 1, 1837, in Perry County. Edmond attended the subscription schools of that county and was instructed in the duties of farm life by his father, an occupation that he has successfully fol- lowed ever since. He began business for himself when twenty two years old by renting land, and farmed it for two years. In 1859 he took up 120 acres of Government land under the graduation act, paying 123 cents per acre, and cultivated the soil until the outbreak of the war, and in the early part of June, 1862, enlisted in Company B, Col. Johnson's Volunteer Regiment Infantry. Mr. Ran- kin was absent from most of the engagements par- ticipated in by this regiment owing to sickness, but took part in the skirmish at Jenkins' Ferry in the fall of 1864. He remained with the army until its surrender at Appomattox Court House, and' then returned home. Previous to that, after the battle

of Helena, he was granted a furlough of twenty days, and returned home, where he was married to Miss Nancy Jane Spears. Upon hearing of this event his superiors complimented him with an ex- tension of his furlough, and January 25, 1863, he rejoined his command at Little Rock. After the war was over he removed. with his bride, to the land he had purchased in 1859, and commenced cutting the timber and making a home. He was also engaged in rafting to Little Rock, at which place he found a ready market for his logs. For twelve years Mr. Rankin followed this occupation in connection with his farin, and in 1869 he bought the interest of five heirs in a tract of 120 acres, of which fifteen acres were under cultivation, and upon it a double log-house, a smoke-house and sta- bles. He moved upon that land in the same year, and now owns 526 acres, with 250 acres under cul- tivation, besides owning two other tracts of sixty and eighty acres, respectively. He has, up to the present time, built a good dwelling, eight tenant houses, four box and four log-houses, besides own- ing a large number of cattle, horses and hogs. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Rankin, of whom nine are yet living: George W., Andrew J., Henry Clay, Frances Jane, Charles C., Edmond F., Laura Alice, Julian E. and William A. The children have all been well educated and are well qualified to take their own part in the struggle against the world. Mr. and Mrs. Rankin are members of the Missionary Baptist Church, and take an active part in the development and progress of religious and educational matters. Outside of his farming interests Mr. Rankin operates a steam saw and grist-mill and a cotton-gin, which are among the best in the county. He belongs to Perryville Lodge No. 238, A. F. & A. M.

William H. Rankin, one of the leading mer- chants and a popular resident of Perryville, is a son of George M. and Jane (Alexander) Rankin, and was born in Perry County, March 4, 1850. He was reared on his father's farm, and educated at the subscription schools of his birthplace, until his eighteenth year, when he commenced farming for himself, on land rented from his father. He continued in that occupation until 1872, when he

commenced rafting logs to Little Rock, which business he conducted successfully until the fol- lowing year, and then embarked in mercantile life with Mr. John Bland, who was also his partner in the rafting venture. In 1877 he erected what is known as the Perryville saw and grist-mill. in connection with a cotton-gin, and in 1880 sold out his interest in these industries. Mr. Bland has been associated with Mr. Rankin in all of his enterprises, and the firm of Rankin & Bland are now building a steamer at their docks, on the Fourche, near Perryville, for Fourche la Fave and Arkansas River navigation, to be used in both pas- senger and freight service. The firm deal largely in farm and wild lands, in connection with their merchandising, and also handle warrants, notes, etc. On February 7, 1875, Mr. Rankin led to the altar Miss Mollie E. Swaggerty, a belle of Georgia, and a daughter of Dr. Gandison and Nancy (Den- man) Swaggerty, of Tennessee and Georgia, re- spectively, who moved to Arkansas about the year 1854. This union gave them four children: Hallie (born February 17, 1876), Sibyl (born December 30, 1879), Fay (born November 29, 1883), and Joe (born January 27, 1886). In politics he is a Dem- ocrat, and was elected on that ticket to the office of sheriff, in 1882, which position he filled in a cred- itable manner to himself and to the satisfaction of those who supported him. He is a member of Perryville Lodge No. 238, A. F. & A. M., and was first initiated in 1872. He has been and is Master of his lodge at the present time, and has repre- sented the same at the Grand Lodge on several occasions.

James K. Reeder, in connection with agricult- ural and stock-raising affairs, hereabouts, has re- sided in Perry County for the past ten years, suf- ficient time to render him well known. He was born October 20, 1828, in Carroll County, Tenn., and is a son of Jobn K. and Elizabeth (Harris) Reeder, who were the parents of four children: James K. and Thomas R. (twins), Ephraim R. and a sister who died four days after her birth. Ephraim was killed at Richmond during the war, and James and Thomas are the only two living. The father died in 1834, when James was but

seven years old, and the mother followed him ten years later. At twenty-one years of age James was engaged by William Harley, a wealthy Mis- sissippian, to oversee his plantation in that State. He remained with him two years and then returned to Tennessee, where he married, February 5, 1850, Miss Ruthie Ross, daughter of Samuel Ross of that State. Four children were born to this marriage, of whom two are still living: Ephraim T. (who re- sides in Perry County) and Sarah E. (wife of P. Westhook, living at Beebe, Ark.) Mr. Reeder lost his first wife and was married a second time, the next wife being a charming widow lady by the name of Smith, by whom he had five children, all living but one: William M. (residing in Faulkner County), Joseph R. (of Perry County), James E. (Perry County), Judith C. (wife of Martin Moss, re- siding in Faulkner County), Martha S. (deceased.) Mr. Reeder was again saddened by the loss of his second wife, in 1870, but on February 20, 1872, was married to Miss Mary E. Bradley, by whom he has had eight children: Henry A., George A., Columbus F., Newton C., Nathan B., Mary F., Eva A. and Harriet E. During the war Mr. Reeder enlisted in Company I, Fourth Arkansas Infantry, under Gen. McCrea, and took part in the battles at Prairie Grove, Helena and the hot engagement on Cash River. At the evacuation of Little Rock he was taken very ill, and thinking that his days were numbered, and preferring to die surrounded by wife and children rather than by the panoply of war, he made his escape and returned home. In two months he recovered and went back to Little Rock, where he was mustered in on December 13, 1863, becoming a member of Company G, Third Arkansas, in which he served until the surrender in 1865. He took part in a great many battles but was never seriously wounded, except on one occasion when he was stationed at Louisburg and was sent to round up a number of horses, one of them kicking him very badly. He first came to Arkansas in 1860, and in 1861 settled with his family in Conway County. After the war he moved to the forks of the Cadron, where he bought 160 acres of land and resided twelve or thirteen years, and then moved to Perry County,

where he bought 200 acres of improved land. Since then he has sold some of the land to his boys and has now only ninety acres, with a com- fortable dwelling, stables and a fine orchard. In religion he and his wife are members of the Bap- tist Church, but in politics he sides with no par . ticular party, preferring to cast his vote for the man he thinks most entitled to the office. He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity and the G. A. R., and no man is more interested than he in the welfare and advancement of his county.

John William Rison (deceased). No name is remembered with greater respect by the people of Perry County than that of John W. Rison, who, as lawyer and merchant, attained just recognition. He was born in Amelia County, Va., April 21, 1820, and died June 19, 1886, in Perryville, after a useful and well-spent life. Peter and Sally B. (Booker) Rison, his parents, were of Virginia na- tivity, where they died. The family came of French origin, Peter's father having been born in France; and he emigrated to the United States with LaFay- ette. Mrs. Sally B. Rison was a relative of Gov. Bibb, of Virginia. John was the second child of three who grew to maturity. He received his edu- cation at William and Mary College, in Virginia, and from that State moved to Missouri, where he resided two years, in 1844 coming to Perry County, of which he was one of the early settlers. He was county clerk of this county for eighteen years, and was twice sent to the State legislature, where he served in a capable manner. He practiced law in the first courts of the county, and for twenty years was the only truly educated man here. Formerly a Whig he later became a Democrat in politics. He was a Royal Arch Mason and Knight Templar, and during the war was enrolling officer, sympa- thizing with the Confederate cause. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1843 Mr. Rison married Harriet C. Clifton, born in Wilson County, Tenn., October 4, 1822. She was the daughter of William and Martha (Tucker) Clifton, of North and South Carolina, respectively, who were early settlers in Arkansas, dying in Pu- laski County. Only two of this family of eleven are living: Harriet and Joshua. In Mr. Rison's

693

family were eight children, six now living: Harriet A. (wife of William Timmons), Elizabeth (wife of James A. Fones), Richard E., Albert, Sally B. (wife of Joseph N. Belcher) and George B. When Mr. Rison died he was the owner of two residences in Little Rock, valued at $40,000, and a farm of 160 acres one mile from Perryville, valued at $5,000, which his widow now owns. She has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church since 1832, and is, now one of the most active members of the Perryville congregation.

William L. Scoggins. Included in the number of the representative planters and stockmen of Perry County is Mr. Scoggins, who was born in Cleveland County, N. C., on August 9, 1834, and is a son of John and Nancy Scoggins, both natives of the same State. In his youth Mr. Scoggins was educated at the public and subscription schools of his birthplace, and at the age of twenty years commenced farming for himself upon rented land, putting in such crops as were raised in North Carolina at that time. In 1859 he moved to Ar- kansas and located in Perry County, near his pres- ent home, where he worked at farm labor for wages, until 1861. At this time the first notes of Civil War were sounded, and he left the farm to enlist in Company H, Tenth Regiment Arkansas Infantry, serving until the surrender of Port Hud- son, on July 8, 1863. His premier engagement was at the battle of Shiloh, where he distinguished himself by his actions on the field, and after the battle was over he was rewarded, by being pro- moted to the rank of second lieutenant. Upon an order issued by the secretary of war, a re-organi- zation of one-year troops took place in June, 1862, and he was again reduced to the rank of a private soldier, in which capacity he remained until his service in the army was ended. On November 2, 1865, he was united in marriage, to Mrs. Mary C. (Massey) Janes, an amiable widow lady, of Gaston County, N. C., by whom he had two children: Nancy J. (born December 9, 1866), and Louisa J. (born December 29, 1869), the first named being cut off by death, in the flower of her childhood. In October, 1865, Mr. Scoggins made his first purchase of land, consisting of eighty acres, of

which twenty acres were under cultivation, and at the present time he has improved and cultivated the other sixty. He has added to the original purchase at various times, until now he owns about 262 acres, and has placed ninety acres under a high state of cultivation, clearing and improving seventy acres by his own personal labor. Mr. Scoggins has no doubt contributed more actual physical exertion toward developing the land in Perry County, than any other resident of that place, and his dwelling and houses upon the farm are among the best. He is a member of Perry Lodge No. 220, A. F. & A. M., which body meets in the New Tennessee Church, and has served as Senior Warden of his lodge for one year. In poli- tics he is a Democrat, and a strong support to his party in that section. He has served his fellow- citizens as postmaster for five years, and the post- office department as well as the people of Casa have been more than satisfied. Upon his arrival in Arkansas, Mr. Scoggins found the country in a wild condition and just as nature had left it. Saw and grist-mills were almost unknown, and the few that were scattered over the State, were of a rude and unsatisfactory pattern. As for steam mills, they would have been looked upon then with almost as much wonder as Don Quixote looked at his wind mill. At that period New Orleans was the nearest cotton market, but as settlers began to come in and the country developed, new markets were opened, mills established, cotton gins of the latest pattern took the place of the old horse-gins, and to-day Perry County can boast of every modern improvement necessary to her welfare, this being the result of the brain and untiring energy of men like Mr. Scoggins.

Hon. J. F. Sellers is a prominent attorney of Perry County, and an honor to the legal bar. He is a son of Burell J. and Elizabeth (Sweeney) Sel- lers, the former born in North Carolina on January 25, 1819, and a son of Richard and Rebecca Sel- lers, born in 1791 and 1796, respectively. Rich- ard Sellers was a soldier in the War of 1812, who fought for his country with all the ardor of a patriot, and left the battle field with the proud con- sciousness of having done a soldier's duty.
