Research Notes
- One would assume that Melvina Cockrum Ford died in Fulton Co., Ark.,as she and William are on the 1860-1900 census there together, but inlooking thru the Fulton Co., Ark., Cem., book compiled by the Extensioncouncil, I find no listing for either Melvinia or William. MaryStuart April 7, 2006
