Sarah Ann Matilda Self was born in 1852 at Pike County, AR.      There is no mention of a Matilda S. Self in the 1850 Pike County Arkansas Census or in the 1860 Pike County Arkansas Census. There are two possible explanations. 1) Matilda was born and died between the two census years or 2) she is really Sarah Ann. (In the 1860 Pike County Census Sarah is shown with the initials S.A.M. which could mean that her name is Sarah Ann Matilda). It is not know at this time whether 1) or 2) is correct but current evidence seems to indicate that there is only one person. Therefore in this work we will use 2) but research continues and if evidence is uncovered to indicate the 1) is the proper situation we will change this record. She was the daughter of Forgus "Fergus" "Forgy" Self and Mariah L. Jenkins.      She was enumerated with Forgus "Fergus" "Forgy" Self on the Pike County, AR census dated September 4, 1860; S.A.M. was shown at age 8 as a white female born in Arkansas.      She was enumerated with Forgus "Fergus" "Forgy" Self on the Pike County, AR census dated June 24, 1870; Sarah A. was shown at age 14 as a white female born in Arkansas. She was shown at home.

Mr. Daniel Wilson, about 35 years of age, to Miss Sarah A. Self, about the same age; both of Hempstead County, Ark. and united them as husband and wife in the manner and form usual in the Presbyterian Church; and that my License to marry as a minister was obtained from the Clerk of the Court of Hempstead County (Simon Sanders) in the year, A.D. 1857 and is recorded in the Clerk's Office in Book "O", page 15.      Given under my hand this 6th day of February, 1874.           Samuel Williamson      Filed for record, February 7th, 1874 by R.T.

Lewis Self was born between 1810 and 1820 at AL. He was the son of Lackey William Self and Jane ______. Lewis Self married Sally M. ______ in 1839 at Pike County, AR. [The Pike County Reconstructed Marriage book indicates that Lewis Self was married by 1838 to an unknown person. Another Self researcher has the date as 1839 and bride's name as Sally M. This name seems to be confirmed by the census records.].      He was listed as a head of household on the Pulaski County, AR census dated October 24, 1850. He was found in Maumelle Township, Page 318B, Dwelling 56, Family 56; Lewis was shown at age 32 as a white male born in Alabama. His occupation was farmer.

David S. Self was born between 1811 and 1815 at Pike County, AR. [His birth implies that his parents were in Pike County AR in 1815.]. He was the son of Lackey William Self and Jane ______. David S. Self married Catherine "Katy" Brown, daughter of Gabriel Brown, on March 24, 1833 at Clark County, AR.      The Marriage Record of David Self and Catherine Brown:      Territory of Arkansas,      County of Clark,      I, William Kelley, an acting Justice of the Peace within and for the County and Territory aforesaid, do certify that the marriage ceremony was performed by me between David Self and Catharine Brown on this the 24th day of March A.D. 1833.      William Kelley, J.P.      Territory of Arkansas,      County of Clark,      I hereby certify that the foregoing certificate of marriage was this day produced to me in my office and ordered to be recorded which is duly done. Witness my hand as deputy clerk and Exoffico recorder for said County this 20th day of April A.D. 1833 and of the independence of the United States the 57th.      J.S. Ward, Dep. clerk &      Exofficio recorder. David S. Self appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1840 at Pike County, AR. Information was found on Missouri Township. The census indicates there was one male under 5 (Samuel); one male age 5 to under 10 (William Locke); one male age 20 to under 30 (David S.); one female age under 5 (Sarah); one female age 15 to under 20 (unknown) [was she from a prior marriage by Catherine Brown, his wife or is she a relative of Catherine Brown; more research is needed on this matter] and one female age 30 to under 40 (Catherine).      David S. and Catherine Self are not listed in the 1850 Arkansas Census. It is thought that they died between 1845 and 1850 since two of their children are shown living in households of relatives or friends. Apparently the children are orphans. It is unclear what became of the unidentified male and female that were living with David Self in 1840.      There is some speculation that David was living in Greene County Arkansas 1850 because there is a David S. Self listed in the census there. However, that David was shown as 24 years old which is at least 10 years too young to be the David S. Self listed in the 1840 Pike County Arkansas Census who would be around 35 years old. But it is certainly possible that the David S. Self in the Greene County census is related to the family of Lackey William Self. Green County, Arkansas borders the state of Missouri in the general area where Lackey William Self and his brother Lewis were known to live in the 1806 time frame.      For this record we will assume that David S. Self the father of Sarah, William L. and Nancy was dead in 1850. But research needs to continue to determine when, where and why David S. Self died.

Nancy Self married Seaborn Reed, son of Joel Reed and Margaret Cox, on January 23, 1845 at Pike County, AR. [There are two marriage entries for a Nancy Self. This one is chosen because of the date. The other entry is believed to be that of the Nancy enumerated as 5 years old in the 1850 Pike County AR census. The entry shows a marriage to James W. Ben (Bean) on July 27 1865. It appears that the second Nancy and the unaccounted for William of the 1850 Census are siblings.

(Mary A., age 1).      Nancy applied in Arkansas for a Union Pension after the death of her husband but was refused. In 1869 Congress pass a bill which allowed her to receive a pension.      Nancy is listed in dwelling 25 in Caney Fork Township, Murfreesboro Post office in the 1870 Pike County AR Census. She is listed as the head of household (apparently Seaborn has died). She is living with two children Hannah E. (age 19) and Mary A. M. (age 8).
