In the 1870 Census for Rocky Bayou, Izard County, Sarah is age 33 livingwith Roland and Martha. There are two boys listed with this family.HARVEY age 10 and Theodore age 1. Everyone on the census is listed as aLanders.

There have been reports that her second husband, George Washington Graywent berserk and killed his daughter, his wife, and himself. As you willsee (see story with Martha M.

In 1995the area was overgrown and if you did not know the cemetery was there youwould not be able to find anything. This is the daughter that G. W.

170. Mary Frances Landers (Rowland Landers , George T. Landis , John , John ) was born 1 on 13 Apr 1839 in Bedford County, TN. She died 2 on 29 Apr 1926 in Melbourne, AR.

From Carroll Hayden:

Harvey Baxter Landers Family Bible gives marriage date for Mary Francesand George W. Owens as 10 Nov 1872. Suspect birth dates for children aresubject for suspicion.

171. Harvey Baxter Landers (Rowland Landers , George T. Landis , John , John ) was born 1 on 26 Sep 1840 in Bedford County, TN. He died 2 on 16 Jun 1908 in Mount Olive, AR.

From Carroll Hayden:

Harvey Baxter Landers, better known as Baxter, was a Captain in theConfederate Army during the Civil War. The uniform he wore is housed inthe Jacksonport Museum in Jacksonport, (near Newport) Arkansas. Baxterwas the last person to be buried in the old original Jeffery BurialGrounds established by James Jeffery of Virginia and his son, Jehoiada onJehoiada's original estate at Mount Olive, Arkansas.

There has been some confusion about the children of Baxter. Familyrecords from the Landers side of the family seemed to know nothing of thechildren by Mary Jeffery, and the Jeffery Records made no mention of hisfirst wife, or their children. I believe this account to be moreaccurate. See Willie B. Landers notes for more on this.

Harvey Baxter is listed on the 1850 census in Bedford County as Henry B.age 10.

E. G. Landers was a merchant in Melbourne, Arkansas. In publishing anaccount of the industries and mercantile resources of the town ofMelbourne, the house of Landers must not be forgotten, as it constitutesa most important factor in the commercial fabric of the town.

In 1877 he engaged in merchandising at Lunenburg, Arkansas,under the firm title of Landers & Bros., and continued thus until 1880,when his brother sold out and a new partner, S. R. Hinkle, took hisplace. The firm became Landers & Company, and do the largest business intown. They carry a stock of goods that invoices at least $10,000,enjoying an annual trade of about $40,000.
