James Thomas and Sue Sindy Acree and these four children traveled by covered wagon with his Brother Wesley Acree and his wife Dora Acree from Boaz Alabama to Arkansas around 1890, Wesley and Dora Acree settled in Searcy Arkansas,
( we thank Wesley name was ether John Wesley or George Wesley Acree )
And our Grandfather James Thomas and Sue Sindy Acree settled in West Point Arkansas. About 8 miles from Searcy around 1890, on a farm known as the Swan-Garrison place. on the banks of the little red river about three miles from West Point.
After settling in West Point they became the parents of two more children.

Steve David Acree, May 30, 1895.
Shortly after they were born.
Grandpa James Thomas Acree died June 2, 1896, and Grandma Sue Sindy Acree died May 5, 1899.
We believe they are both buried in the old Nelson-Georgetown cemetery or the West Point Cemetery.
They both passed away while the children were very young the smaller children were raised by foster parents. Thomas Franklin was raised by a family named Kibons in Dogwood near Griffaville Arkansas. And Steve David was raised by a family named Bellville in West Point Arkansas. The other four children were old enough that they made it on their own.
Lizzie May Acree Married Lynn Drannon Taylor at the age of sixteen,
and shortly afterwards Thomas Franklin came to live with Lynn and Lizzie Taylor.
By this time Thomas Franklin at the age of eight or nine years old was old enough to help earn a living and him and uncle Lynn worked for a man by the Name of Austin Smith at West Point taking care of his Stock.
On March 23, 1913 at the age of twenty one my father Thomas Franklin Acree.
Married Mattie Viola Wright from Georgetown Arkansas.
And They Became the Parents of eight children.
Lorn Franklin, Pearlie May, Ida Fay,
