GENEALOGICAL SKETCHES
James W. Breckenridge was born in South Carolina in 1820. His first wife, Susan, was born in Missouri in 1823.

James and Susan came to Greene County in about 1843 and took up residence in Union Township. In 1850 their children were: William B., 1843; Abraham, 1845; Levi, 1847; and Nancy, 1849. William B. was born in Missouri and all the other children were born after the family arrived in Arkansas.

In 1860 this family was still living in Union Township and several more children had been added: James F., 1853; Frances, 1858; Martha A., 1859; and Daniel, 1860. James' first wife, Susan, apparently died sometime during the
1850's and some of the younger children in the family may have been born of the union with his second wife, Mary A., born in Kentucky in 1835.

In 1880 James W. and Mary A. Breckenridge were living in Friendship Township and six more children had been added to the family: Mary A., 1864; George Thomas, 1857; John B., 1869; David Ezra, 1871; Altha E., 1877; and Sarah E., 1879. The 1880 census indicates that James W. Breckenridge's father was born in Ireland and his mother was born in South Carolina.

William B. Breckenridge married a woman named Sarah E., born in Tennessee in 1844. In 1880 they lived in Union Township and their children at home were: William L., 1866; Mary J., 1868; Sarah, 1870; Minnie A., 1875; Edward J., 1878; and Eli B., 1880. The nearest neighbors of William and Sarah E. at
this time were the families of John Roberts, Joseph Lovelady, John C. Horn, and James H. McCastlin.

Abraham G. Breckenridge married a woman named Annie, born in Arkansas in 1850. They lived in Union Township in 1880 and their children at this time were: Dovie, 1874; and Callie, 1877.

James F. (Frank) Breckenridge married a woman named Mary, born in Arkansas in 1855. They lived in Union Township in 1880 and their children at this time were: Amelia, 1873; and Ida, 1875.

Daniel Breckenridge married Mrs. Mariah Breckenridge in Greene County on March 28, 1878. The first child born of this union was named Walker, born in 1879. Three step-children also lived with this family in 1880. They were:
James Branch, 1867; Amanda Branch, 1869; and John Branch, 1871. James and Amanda were born in Tennessee and John was born in Arkansas. Daniel's half sister and half brother were also living with the family at this time. They were: Parthenia Breckenridge, 1867; and Elisha Breckenridge, 1872.

Parthena and Elihu, his half siblings.

Daniel Harvey Breckenridge was son of James Harvey
but was living at home and unmarried in 1880.)

The nearest neighbors of Daniel and Mariah Breckenridge in 1880 were the families of Nathan Meadows, Frank Breckenridge, John Taylor, and George Williams. A boy named Paris Breckenridge, born in Arkansas in 1873, was boarding with the John Taylor family at this time.

Breckenridge's in Arkansas from about 1842
Posted by: Roger Breckenridge (ID *****7493) Date: December 18, 2005 at 03:15:51

I have a certain amount of information on the descendent's of John and Elizabeth Breckenridge, Scottish background, who emigrated from Ireland to South Carolina. John died before 2 March, 1796. Family records indicates he was killed by a falling tree. They had three sons, Robert (b. 28 Sept, 1792), James (b. 1786) and David (b. 1788). Eventually all three settled in Jackson County, Arkansas.

I have the records of their descendent's if anyone needs them.

Just let me know.

(follow ups say James married a Nancy had a daughter Sarah who married Bryant W. Jones born in 1822, died 1902.
