Faith Ann,
In my family history there are numerous references to Marrs Hill in Washington County, AR, but I have never been able to identify the location.The "History of Washington County" mentions a Marrs Hill postoffice just east of modern Farmington near Fayetteville; Goodspeed places Marrs Hill in the Wedington area; and another instance refers to a Marrs Creek in the Prairie Grove area.If you find the spot, please let me know.
Among the first settlers in Washington County in the 1820s were French Huguenot families named Marrs and Pyeatte.My distant aunt Lavinia Cox married Peter Paulus Pyeatte; she died in 1859 and is buried at Marrs Hill.Lavinia and Peter Pyeatte had eleven children, all born at Marrs Hill, and all Presbyterian.
I hope we locate it.
