These are a couple items from the Scott Co. Arkansas USGENWEB site. As I mentioned before, Francis Mead lived in Scott Co. just north of Polk Co. from some time after the 1870 census until after the 1880 census. He died in 1889. There's an obituary available, which should tell more about his life and, with some luck, tell who his parents were.
