Notes

"Mary Eleanor , known as Eleanor, was born on 7 Oct 1818 in Union Co., IL. She moved with her father to Giles and then Lawrence Co., TN. She married John C. SULLIVAN on 8 Mar 1842 at West Point, TN.

John C. and Eleanor moved to Richland Valley, Searcy Co., AR in 1851. At the same time Eleanor's mother, Mary, and her children, Hugh C., Vincent R., Aquilla, Perilla, Richard and George, also moved to Searcy Co., AR. This would mean that John D. had died after the 1850 census and before the time of the move. During this same time frame, four other of John D. and Mary's children also moved to Searcy County. They were; Delilah REDDELL VICK, Nancy M. REDDELL RACKLEY, Sarah M. REDDELL SULLIVAN and Permilla N. REDDELL KYLE. Charlotte REDDELL ROBERTSON and Elizabeth REDDELL YOUNG were already living in Arkansas and were from all indications some of the earliest white settlers in that part of the state.

Eleanor and John C. settled near her mother on the north bank of Dry Creek in township 15 North, 18 West, just before it joins Richland Creek. It was here their last child, Sarah Elizabeth, was born on 6 Nov 1852, probably shortly after her father left for the California gold fields sometime in 1852. He is reported to have died in San Francisco of disease about 1854.

About 1854 Eleanor, who had been raised a Methodist, was baptized into the Baptist Church by an energetic itinerant preacher, Jesse Griffin, who lived about twenty miles away in Wiley's Cove. She remained a Baptist for the rest of her life and was remembered by family and friends for her devoted Christian life.

When the Civil War began, Eleanor and her children were living with her mother, Mary, and brothers, Richard and George. Her sisters, Delilah VICK, Sarah M. SULLIVAN and Perilla ETHRIDGE, lived within a few houses on each side. Arkansas seceded in May 1861, and in July, James Harrison LOVE raised Company K, 14th Arkansas Infantry for Confederate service from the men on Richland Creek and the surrounding area. They were sworn in 5 August 1861 in Yellville. Not all went willingly; one man later stated he "could have gone with Company K, 14th Arkansas, or looked up a limb to be hanged from." At least three of Eleanor's brothers, Aquilla, George and Vincent R. and brother-in-law, Benjamin J. VICK, went with Captain LOVE'S company east of the Mississippi. Two REDDELL boys deserted at the end of their year's enlistment, another and Benjamin VICK were discharged within a year of enlistment. In December 1861, brother-in-law, John B. SULLIVEN participated in the round up of Searcy County peace society members, then signed a petition for their release. Vincent R. REDDELL again served with Captain Harry LOVE in Company C, 7th Arkansas Cavalry, a guerrilla unit, and served briefly -- probably under duress -- with the Union Army (Company F. 1st Arkansas Infantry) from March to August, 1863.

Richland Valley was considered the breadbasket of Searcy County and suffered from foraging parties from both sides during the war. At least three major Civil War military skirmishes took place on Richland Creek and the women folk from the REDDELL-SULLIVAN households helped bury the dead. James Anderson SULLIVAN, Eleanor's son, was about sixteen years of age during these raids and skirmishes. Presumably he hid in the hills to avoid capture and death by both sides.

Eleanor's mother, Mary, widow of John D. REDDELL, died either during the Civil War or immediately thereafter, as her heirs appear in January 1867 to settle her estate with the sale of twenty-nine plus acres on Dry Creek to brother Richard REDDELL.

Lucy Malinda, Eleanor's oldest child, married James W. Cole, probably during the last months of the War. They had two children. After James's death she married Cephas Augustus Parks HORN and had seven children by him; all of whom died in infancy. C.A.P. HORN died 5 Jan 1902. On 26 Aug 1908, Lucy M. married Francis M. HUDSON. She died in Leslie, AR on 19 Aug 1919.

James Anderson SULLIVAN married a Dickey in Newton Co., AR. He is believed to have died in October 1879. Nothing further is known of him.

Mary Parilla married D. H. MORRIS, but nothing further is known of her.

Sarah Elizabeth was born 6 Nov 1852 in Searcy Co., AR. She married Adam Perry TREECE at Wiley's Cove, AR 5 Nov 1875. They lived in Bear Creek Township, Searcy Co., AR in 1880 where Adam worked as a farm laborer. They later moved to Marshall, the county seat, and Adam was appointed deputy sheriff in charge of the jail. Sarah Elizabeth kept boarders. Her mother, Eleanor, moved in with them and helped. In 1904 they homesteaded 160 acres in Barren Hollow, Searcy Co., AR. When they had proved up the claim, they sold the land and moved to Leslie, AR where Adam worked in the lumbering business and Sarah E. continued to keep boarders. They had eight children. Nellie and Brewster both died young. Lillie D., who married Green Berry GREENHAW, Jr.; William Charles, who never married; James Sherman, who married Hattie R. WATTS, was an oil distributor in Batesville and Fayetteville, AR; Hugh G., who married Alda S. SMITH, was Searcy County Sheriff and Judge, banker and insurance agent; Rose Emma, financial clerk, Federal Reserve Bank, Little Rock, AR, never married; Abe Waterson, deputy sheriff, businessman and US Corp of Engineers guard, married Em fly A. CARMICHAEL.

Eleanor REDDELL SULLIVAN died in Marshall, AR in May 1894. (For further information on her descendants see the following group sheets.)
