I immediately checked out the biographies posted for Little River County, Arkansas. I was hoping that I might find one for the Daffern family who lived there. I didn’t find one for them, but did find one for Louis Walker Dollarhide – one of Bill Dollarhide’s relatives. (Click on illustration above) Searching the Surname Index, I found two more Dollarhides: W. K. Dollarhide (Sevier County, Arkansas); and William Dollarhide (Hickory County, Missouri).
I found this to be a very useful and easy-to-use website. I recommend it.
