Eds. Standard: Moses Brock was born in Grainger county, Tennessee, January 17th, (1803); he came to Arkansas in 1850 and settled on Saline Creek in Pike county near the place where he now resides; he has been a member of the Missionary Baptist church over 40 years. He is not only a member but a good and pious man, having raised a respectable family; one of his sons John W. Brock, resides in your (Clark) county. Brother Brock is a farmer by occupation and not withstanding his age he works on his farm yet. If you were to see him moving about you would suppose him to be about 50 years old. Next comes Major James Mansfield, who was born in Logan county, Ky., on the 4th day of July 1801, he came to Arkansas in 1833, and I suppose settled on Saline Creek, Pike County, near to Moses Brock, and there for (a) number of years he labored on his farm enjoying the fruit of his labor. Major Mansfield, as he is familiarly called, is a worthy member of the Christian or Campbellite church, and a good citizen. Fine rains, cotton booming, corn improving, health tolerable good, people happy, building new camp ground near to Saline Creek on the road from this place to Antoine.

Mansfield married Ulila Davis. She was his second wife. James C. was born July 4, 1801 in Kentucky ... Ulila Davis was born in Virginia, August 8, 1807. They were married March 30, 1830. Their son James Davis was born November 6, 1843. He married Sarah Safronia Gould, daughter of William Bond Gould born in New York. His mother's maiden name was Bond. These records were sent to me by Mrs. J.S. Lavender, Shreveport, Louisiana in 1964 ... James C. Mansfield is buried across from a small church on Highway 26 not far from Murfreesboro, but I do not know its name. There were only a few graves ... only a few have markers. Somehow.
